Good take on the theme. Didn't occur to me at all, yet pairing people makes a whole lot of sense. A very original challenge too, which takes a while to get used to.

Matching people who are very close to each other is annoying. The marchers could push each other a little bit to get rid of this problem. This would also liven up the zombie-like crowd a little bit, especially if they all marched at a different speed.

There aren't enough effects to make the basic movement, slowdown, and shooting abilities to feel good to use. They are functional of course, just not very enjoyable.

Last bit of criticism about the graphics. When it comes to pixelated visuals, the pixel size should be constant throughout the scene. Here this is not the case and it is down to the scaling of the assets, which is all over the place.

In the end, everything works just fine and the positives and negatives just about balance each other out.

Nice entry! The main mechanic was really interesting, and the theme use for "connections" was really solid.

I agree with most of HuvaaKoodia's gripes, mainly that it could use that extra bit of polish to make the movement and shooting feel good. Highly recommend watching The Art of Screenshake for some low-hanging fruit in that area.

I liked the variety of the music (three different tracks), but each track got a bit repetitive on its own.

It's okay.

This game is pretty fun, but quickly become repetitive, and I have this impression that there is often a lot more of one color than the other, which makes the game pretty hard.

Apart from that, the graphics and music are nice for a game made by 2 people in 3 days.

Thanks for your feedback, we are aware that our graphics arent famous, for our defense the guy who was in charge of graphics left us yesterday without sending any works, so we had to rush the audio for the graphics and my teammate discovered the pleasure of the pixel-art. But it's the randomness of this kind of work and we are satisfied with the rendering even if it could be a lot better

Nice take on the theme. I really like the take on tower defense. I wish the gameplay was a little smoother, but I can understand being down a man really hurts when you're counting on the team. Good Luck!

Quite basic but its still fun to play. Definitely a unique take on "Connections", and fits the theme really well!

The game was pretty complicated to understand at fist, but the game fit the theme well.

Rather frustrating at the start with 2 colors meaning both genders and preferences, but that's the whole point, isn't it?
Once you get into it it's quiet fun, running around like crazy trying to find THE ONE in the crowd :)
I agree with the other comments, the take on the theme is almost poetic, well done!
