Woaw, this game is just so outstanding (as usual with you)!
I really like this "one-screen" version of the first GTA (you even included the "gouranga" mission, nice!). I can't believed you managed to create such a depth, fun, beautiful and feature complete game is 48h only...
This game has everything it needs to rank in the top 3, without any doubt ;)!
Bravo!
Brilliant as usual. I'm amazed of how it excels in every aspect. Gameplay, graphics, sound.. congratulations! :)
Very well done. Love the art, it's always been a unique style you have. Very well polished. Good job!
This is so good, very difficult though, no way to loose the police and they can shoot through buildings.
Wow, incredible, the way the money spawns on the roads after you get take all the money spots was a lovely touch.
Good Work!
This is really impressive. As per usual. Graphics are top notch.
Since everyone will be praising the assets I must point out how important (and good) decision it was to pick that particular control scheme.
Est-ce que se serait "être en retard" que de faire une blague sur le fait que Rockstar n'aurait pas fais mieux ?
En attendant, comme toujours, on voit le talent :3
(La ou toi tu te dis : Mince, j'aurais pu faire ça comme ça, mince, j'ai loupé cela, mais j'aurais pu faire ceci à la place... :D)
Excellent game. The graphics are gorgeous, I really like the retro mood. Everything just works fine, not much bugs in sight. Maybe some not so original game mechanics, as it reminds me a bit of Pacman but still a solid game design. The rest is plain excellent. Outstanding work.
so good, as always ! How can you do so much in a so little time :)
Very well polished and beautiful looking game as expected. The game's only glaring issue (unless my flash player is messing up) is its lack of sound effects.
Fun to play and really pretty, only issue I had was that I'm more used to games involving cars having left/right turn you instead of just move you in that direction, but thats just me :D
Great entry! As usual, huge amounts of polish and details which make the experience really cool. Not a fan of the way you control the car but other than that it's a nice and fun game :)
This game is incredible, impressive, groundbreaking and previously-unheard-of.
A joy to play.
Art-gallery-standard visuals.
Bangin soundtrack.
Very good sound, graphic design and AI for a fun gameplay.
I'm particularly impressed by the visuals effects!
Yeaaaah, the tank is invincible, gyahahahah !
Well, not totally...
Anyway, good job (again, grrrr !) !
Another great entry surprise, surprise. Fun little addictive game that takes me back to playing the old GTA game.
Soooo good. Didn't expect anything less though. You've got an amazing LD pedigree.
Haha I love that you cab hijack the chopper (spoiler) overal great as always but i did miss a lot of sound effects :(
Super cool, as always! Make me feel like the first GTA... ahhh good old time! Return just for the tank.
I love the way this game looks! I had lots of fun with it :D
I love the way this game looks! I had lots of fun with it :D
Really nice entry, interesting car AI, I had great fun driving into pedestrians and cop cars! Too bad it's a bit short...
Great use of theme and graphics style as allways. I'd welcome if there were a possibility to rob some objects without witnesses. That could made the gameplay more interesting.
This is absolutely stunning game, amazing art style. Keep up the good work
Kind of a cross between pacman and the original GTA? Pretty cool.
You did it again Deepnight. Well done.
I feel like it would've been more fun with buildings blocking bullets, but I've figured you tested and decided for the best.
Keep up the good work!
Perfect entry, as usual. You know what they say: "Linking deepnight is SO mainstream".
Great game!
I admire how you always make really polished games. =D
The game is a bit repetitive but, since it's so short, it didn't get tiring. :)
I really liked the graphics. Everything was represented really well, even though the scale was so small. :)
I also liked the song and sfx.
As always, really really well made. Just had to play all the missions and had a lot of fun doing so!
Please never stop making games.
Is it me or did I kill some members from a religious sect?
Wow, really awesome !
Very fun to play and well polished, great job !
Fun game! Not my cup of tea but overlooking that very well done! Loved the retro graphics
Can't believe this is done in 48hs, excellent job! The best one I've seen so far
Man, I really love your style. It's really about that simple. Great work.
Amazing work.
A sharp and delecious toast of pixel gaming !
Mmm. Beveled pixels, glowing sparks? Must be deepnight :)
Another great entry as always. Controls felt good, and the escalation of the police force was a really nice touch.
I was slightly disappointed I was unable to steal a police car though.
I love the graphics and music. It's so polished and beautiful. It would have been nice to have something differentiating your car from others though, especially when I brush past a same coloured car. The police cars shooting through walls was a bit unfair imo but I guess the game would have been too easy without that. Great work!
You totally captured the GTA 1 style. Brings back some great memories. Simply amazing!
Very cool and fun ! The controls of the car are very precise.
As always, so good it makes me feel inadequate for participating. :P In all seriousness, very impressive.
Really awesome how much detail you put into everything, very well done!
Looks absolutely gorgeous, would have been cool to be able to jack cop cars though ;)
One criticism (hope it's constructive) is the lack of walls to protect against projectiles. The cop dudes shoot through everything so you can't use the environment much against them. Outrunning them didn't feel particularly skillful, but more of a time constraint ("if I drive long enough, they'll be too far behind").
Awesome game, as always! I didn't like the controls though: this is a game that could benefit from having 'up' and 'down' keys as the accelerator / brakes and 'left','right' as the steering. It would be much easier to avoid walls i think.
Overall one of the best i played so far in this LD, good job!
The amount of work you can squeeze in a game in 48h is flabbergasting. The controls need some adaptation but after a couple of minutes I can cruise the city with ease. Kudos to you.
It's very interesting what this theme brought into the compo. THis is a very interesting take on the theme, Maybe gets a little too repetitive. As usual for your games, the level of polish and control is stunning!
Amazing game, felt a bit short though but it's still amazing how much you managed to get done in such a short time
Amazing as always! You seem to be pretty good at Ludum Dares good sir.
Insanely awesome game. Can definitely see this getting one of the top spots.
this is perfect. looks perfect, feels perfect. a lot of fun, thank you!
Oh my dayum, this is a very nice entry! Although it somehow reminds me of Pacman with a crime twist... :D
GTA Meets pacman! That was really good! Intensely ambitious for a compo game. :O
My only criticism is I wish I knew how many missions there were from the beginning. Other than that very well done!
Really nice! I loved the art! Controls were tight and mission scaling was well done. I loved just watching the AI cars drive around! Greta job.
Nice game! Realy fun indie-GTA :D
When i take tank it was rock!
5\5!
I found the controls were a bit hard, as i was trying to steer the car relative to its front, rather than "move" it absolutely. Great game though, love the pixel-ey goodness. Solid entry as always :)
Yeah. This is great. Gameplay only has a little depth but the audio and graphics are incredible.
Every time I run your game I feel wow. The pixel style is just so good.
The game reminded me of Pacman + GTA. Overall awesome job on LD31! I'm never disappointed with your creations! Loving the pixel art and special effects!
Great graphics, cool gameplay mechanic, addictive and fun... very nice job !
It's amazing ! You're doing so great in only 48h ! The music is awesome too !
Your graphics are amazing! Superb game! Its amazing that you did it in 48 hours.. congrats!
Really reminded me of classic GTA and Retro City Rampage. Incredible amount of work for 48 hours.
Bravo ! Jeu impressionant ! C'est incroyable de créer ce jeu dans 48 heures !
Really great game! I love the graphics qnd the effects. It's a gorgeous peace of work I just love it!
really liked how it felt like one world, great implementation of the theme! very tiny and cute c: good job!
Nice game, simple and fun to play. graphics and sounds are awesome and the game is excellent tribute for gta. COURANGA!
This is really cool! Love the visuals, and the music! And I had fun being a little bit stealthy, it's also fun just rushing and being chased by everything, so you managed to cover two different play-styles really well.
I was a huge fan of chipset-0 and I was excited to see you got into LD31. That entry is absolutely stunning. Wonderful effects, great AI, great sound, lovely gameplay.. Can't describe how impressed I am with this. Perfect controls to bring a bit of Pacman in. Just outstanding...
Fantastic art, controls, the whole package. GTA with some Pac-Man sprinkled in. Great game! (But how do the cops shoot over buildings??)
Excellent game ! I can't find anything constructive to say 'cause I can't see anything wrong with this game. Great job !
Awesome!
I really need pedestrians everywere to make some killing frenzy!
Great entry, as usual.
The tank is awesome, but the helicopter isn't as good as it seems to be.
I feel as if I'm back in front of my Amiga 500, playing something from sensible software... but somehow even more awesome. Thanks.
Brilliant game. Brilliant as always. I swear to god if you win this again.... well you deserve it. Your games are brilliant.
Also... 50 Minute timelapse with no sound/music at all? Come on. I WANT to watch it but no music at all? Add commentary =)
beautiful game, very funny, great visuals, but I didn't like the car controls. well done :)
so polished . the mix is effectively a good idea and well realized
Surprised I've never heard of you, you seem to have quite a following on Twitter! I'm astonished with how full the game feels after just 48 hours, and plan on checking out your other games. Fantastic work here!
Oh my, a perfect mini GTA hommage! It can't get better than this :D Here take all my stars ;) ★★★★★
Oh my, a perfect mini GTA hommage! It can't get better than this :D Here take all my stars ;) ★★★★★ I put it on Twitter, more people need to play it...I mean, you even have GOURANGAS!!!
Wow, just wow! GTA1 was one of my favorite games as a kid, and this is a fantastic homage to that game. Ran perfectly smooth, didn't encounter a single bug, and everything was very intuitive with easy to understand icons. Amazing job!
i can't seem to find the 6/5 buttons.....
this is a wonderful gta demake, i love how it even has the tank and the little line of people
I didn't know about the GOURANGA thing ^^
I found the tank and things became considerably more straightforward :P
Hard to think of constructive criticism with something this good. I guess being on foot is globally not much use since everything you can do on foot you can do in your car, only faster. But there I'm just trying to find things to complain about ;)
Wowww the polish is excellent. Super satisfying to collect money and try to grab a new car after yours blows up. Physics and AI and everything is also perfect.
Great entry as always. Well polished and fun experience. Thanks!
Good dynamic game! Like idea with all these robberies.) Everybody know's what it's like to be the bad man now :)
Very cool entry! Congrats for actually creating a GTA like in 48h :) Loved how you managed to simplify things to the max while keeping the fun.
Incredible polish for a compo game! And very beautiful and fun, to boast!
Very cool game! Felt like a NES GTA with Backstreet Boys music in the background haha!
This game is awesome. Very complete, nice art. + mix pacman & gta... I love it :) Congrats !
Nice job as usual. Lighting and graphics on point. Filter was really nice looking. One of the banks didn't fit for some reason.
Very funny and well-polished GTA-like, loved the graphics, music and gameplay! I think the only thing I didn't like is that the cop cars looked as if they could shoot through buildings at me, which was a bit weird really. Fantastic work overall, keep it up!
I love the idea, I love the visual design, and I would love to see this playable on my phone. Superb entry :) great job!
Brilliant entry, as usual! I like the attention you put in every detail. Loved the possibility to drive a chopper or a tank!
The tiny streets, little cars and music brings fond memory of an old 16-bit game: APB (by Domark).
Very well done!
Very fun but maybe a little too easy, I would have like something more challenging
Gorgeous as usual! This was a really fun throwback and the Pacman combination added a bit of extra spice. I love the control decision that you made. Having the movement tend towards the direction you were pressing (as opposed to a "left key means turn left" scheme) felt really good and was probably essential to making this work on a micro scale. Grinding along walls added challenge without too much frustration and some really nice feedback. A very intuitive mechanic. I felt like the cops were a little too quick for me to work out much depth of strategy -- you mostly just needed to drive faster since there weren't a lot of clever tricks to pull. Still, great fun!
Fun game! I Included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/3EfYtGD2H88
Really freaking awesome and even more praise for using Haxe. Such a great game.
Excellent little game! Congratulations on your 3rd place! And thanks for having the option to change the game's size, you don't know how happy that made me!
