Nice game! The concept is fun and I haven't seen many maze games ngl. The controls feel nice which for a week's time is impressive. Overall I liked it, well done!

Cute game! The controls are smooth and its very fun to sneak around. That being said maybe some ways to distract the cat would be cool and a bit more puzzles as well. Overall good job!

Cute little maze! That cat is a menace, but in a way that doesn't feel unfair

Nice game! Dinos!

Developer

Thanks man!

I liked the way you used the high walls to “hide” the crumbs, that was cool! It was very short and sweet and functional, movement felt pretty good though maybe a little too much control. Good work though!

Developer

Thanks ephemerald!

A nice little game! I appreciate you making all assets during the jam, truly remarkable! Nicely done!

I like it, fun and simple. Also adding door was really nice too, at first I wasn't able to figure it out, but then I went another way and found the switch. Audio and visuals are good too.

Good luck

Very neat game! I really like the structure/layout of the maze, it was possible to escape Carl while still being under danger if you didn't understand the layout of the maze.

Speaking of Carl, the pathfinding is really good! Carl is not smart enough to instantly fly towards you(which is good, that would be unfair) however he can still catch you because he's faster than you!

The assets are quite simple but work very well. I like how you didn't have to make the game in 3D but still decided to stick with it and the extra challenges it brings.

Overall, good first game! 

Developer

Thanks dude! and congrats on your victory. XD

I hate carl so much!! Jokes aside it was really fun! Congrats!

Submitted(+1)

i could not escape carl. however it was very fun to sneak around all sneaky like. the door was a nice touch too. i think carl's detection was a little farther than what was shown bc he would lock on me before i was in the light, but still it added a good challenge. overall, great simple game and i had fun

Developer

Yeah, I should have made it so that you could out run him, but I ran out of time. XD

Neat little maze game here. The gameplay loop is quite solid, and I really like the choice of game you made with an engine like Unreal! There was one problem, though: if I got caught by the cat, I was instantly screwed. If you could outrun the cat, it would definitely help. Other than that, cool game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Reminds me a lot of the first metal gears by not being catch, loved!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! :)

Pretty nice and simple maze game. I would have liked to have a way to run away or hide from the cat.

Submitted(+1)

Loved the Cutscenes and the graphics are basic but hey so are the models and i guess it fits the feel of theh game, Rated 9/10 
hope to see you in the Racookie Heist Comments section and Ratings :D

Developer

Thanks man!!! 

I'll try to play your game as soon as possible!

Submitted(+1)

Thankyou :D

I like the simplicity of this maze game. Would be nice if you could outplay the carl by hiding while getting chased, cause seems like its game over the moment it sees you. Was very surprised about the download size, I wonder what happened lol.

Developer

Yes, apologies about the download size.

I also don't know what the heck happened right there.
