loved the art, but didn't like the game, just way too buggy and it just didn't really work.

i have no idea why this game fits the theme. 

overall, not an experience that i enjoyed, sorry

Developer

Apologies that this was not an enjoyable experience. but on the flip side, hopefully, after voting is over we can release the patched version. If you would like then hopefully you can try out the patched game again later on. Thanks for the feedback

the art style the cutscenes, and the story were so good but when the gameplay kicked in with a ton of bugs like those pesky staircases that i got stuck in and had to reset at least 10 times, also why the player can fall of the level, that is nuts. I think that this game got too many hours for the visuals and audio and when the time had come to make the gameplay you just realised that you had to little time to make it so you rushed it. It's a shame, if this game had only been some squares and triangles but with better gameplay i think that it would have been better, I mean i get it you want your game to be pretty there is no bad thing about it but if the game itself isn't fun then why bother with these aesthetics. I hope you will fix it when the jam ends, because i would love to give it another go. Good luck!

Thank you for playing our game
We didn't really sacrifice anything for other, everyone did a great job with everything but it's just that the  programmer who was in charge of implementing the gameplay mechanics (me) messed up testing and polishing up mechanics before publish. So in the end we could either let everyone's efforts go to waste and not publish the game at all or publish it in its current state.

But thanks for the feedback, we're definitely planning to fix them and update the game after the jam.

+The storytelling is awesome !

+ Visual are nice with
+ Good animation
+ Good take on the theme
+ Music/SFX fit very well the game
+ UI is neat
- Too many bugs that hurts the gameplay (but I know you know, and now you know I knew you knew)

Though  the game is promising.
Great work !

Sadly, I was not able to complete the game, since I got stuck on the staircase. Regardless, that was such a fun game! It was so charming and had very good visuals. Great job!

I've tried again and again to get the mission done, but sadly, the amount of bugs with the gameplay was overwhelming that I couldn't finish the level. It was mostly collision problems, it was either the lack of it or objects getting stuck. Though I deeply appreciate the UI, cutscenes, artstyle, and music! Also very innovative with the reverse robbery thing. I don't think I've seen any other game like it.

Just curious, did you guys create an end cutscene? And is it possible to finish the mission in its current state?

Developer(+1)

Very sorry for the bugs that make it unable to finish the game, Yes there is an ending cutscene but that too does not show up properly as it is a bug currently. And with the very little QA testing we have done before submission, I would say it is 3/10 times you can complete the level, it just doesn't show the correct cutscene. Thank you for playing though, we will for sure release a patched version after voting!

Developer

Hey thank you for playing our game. Unfortunately we had very little time to actually make the level and in transition from the demo scene to the actual level, we faced some bugs that we didn't have time to fix. Also for some reason the windows build screwed up some stuff that worked in editor. 

In short, you can't finish the game now only because the escape windows can't be interacted with. And yes there's an end cut scene that you can't see because of the same bug.

Submitted(+2)

So there are bugs in the end walls. We just fall through maybe and the alarm doesn't work. But, That game was still a good one. I can see what you tried to create. The art was good too. Last but not the least, there are cinematic sequences in this game. That's something very rate in a Jam Game. Thanks for this game. I think in a way, the pros are much more than the cons.

Please play and rate my game as well. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Developer

Yeah, we wanted to do more of a story game for this jam, so we put in a cutscene. I am glad you found the game enjoyable, Thanks!

I liked a lot the cinematic and the art in general, the music was also pretty great, I couldn't finish the game because of some of the bugs you mention, I enjoyed it tho.

Submitted(+2)

Really like the concept! The art is lovely along with the music & sound effects, great job with that. Looking forward to playing the patched version :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and patience!

Submitted(+2)

The menus are awesome, the graphics too and also the sounds but there are so many bugs.

Submitted(+2)

Like you said, I ran into my fair share of bugs, but there is definitely a lot to appreciate here. The story was easy to understand and interesting. The music fit very well with the style. I didn't get to play the game much before I disappeared behind the wall and lost my character.

Developer

Thanks for playing, we are looking forward to release a patched build after voting ends :)

I like the idea of a reverse robbery :) The art is really good and the character animation is nice. But i was able to go too far to the left and right and i got stuck twice. Still a good job :) 

Developer
