The game was good as a stealth-strategy top-down game. The music and the art were good. But I kind of missed the theme. Although he had his hacker friend. He couldn't influence the game much. Otherwise, it's a pretty solid game!

Hey! thanks for playing the game, we're glad you liked the art and music :D. We also appreciate the feed back on the theme, we wanted to give the hacker enough abilities but not a lot so the levels would become easier. Again thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

game was super fun. It just begs for multiplayer. If you could find a way to make the 2 roles have always something to do then it really could shape up to be something great. neat job :D

Developer

Hey there! thanks for playing the game! We sure would love to implement multiplayer for it. After the jam we will try to incorporate it, thanks a lot for the feed back!

I really liked this game. And i think it has a lot of potential to be a full on game I would pay money for. Two things that I think could really improve it at this stage is some occlusion on the cameras and enemy vision cones....a few times i walked around and saw their vision cones and panicked but then realised they were on the other side of the wall. The second thing is there were some weird collisions on some walls when walking quite close so managed to get stuck in some places. Overall though it was great fun, and the almost WarioWare reflexes required to do some of the hacks was thoroughly enjoyable.

Developer(+1)

Hey! thanks a lot for the playing the game! We did notice the cone going re-appearing after a certain distance, but sadly couldn't figure it out because of the lack of time. The second issue isn't something we came across, we'll try to re create and hopefully fix it after the jam. Again we love the constructive feed back, it really helps!

Really cool, the lighting effects were used pretty well and I enjoyed how you could essentially manipulate the level by using your partner's hacking abilities.  Only critique I could add is what a lot of other have been adding, I think you get caught a bit too fast when an enemy spots you, giving the player room to make mistakes is always a good idea and it can lead to better gameplay as a whole.  Like, in the game Hello Neighbor, you're supposed to sneak into a house, and if you get spotted you have to ability to attempt to run away far enough so the enemy won't chase you anymore, and such a mechanic adds a whole lot of fun anxiety to the game and I think a similar system could've had a similar effect in yours.  Overall tho, good job!

Hey! thanks for playing the game! We're glad you enjoyed it. Our initial thought was too include that but then we scratched it off to make it a bit more realistic and hard, but we will look into things like this after the jam and work on them. Again thanks a lot for the constructive feed back!

I see a lot of people commenting this but it really is just a bit too difficult. Maybe have it to where the burglar can sabotage the systems instead of hack, but have it to where it can get the guards to come check out the area because of the noise. And I'd try making it to where instead of the player just being spotted after stealing the gem, the security heightens so it's harder to get out but still allows for more seasoned players to get through without being spotted. I also felt the level design was a bit weak. The level was rather large but there was really only one effective path to the goal. Try to design your stealth levels to have more options and reasons for the player to explore different approaches! Really enjoyed that hacking actually involved doing a little mini-game though. It's a simple but very effective way to make things more interesting! Overall a nice foundation for a stealth game!

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game! really appreciate the constructive feed back. We originally had the levels easier but they were too easy and could be finished  less than a minute which is why we tried to make them harder. We will take into account all the points you gave us for the level design and try to make the game better as well as use them for the next jam. We're glad you enjoyed the game, and once again thanks a lot for your feed back!

Submitted

It is a very nice game but I found it little bit hard to finish levels.I think you can increase difficulty level by level instead of making every level difficult(I am saying this bcoz I couldn't manage to finish a single level) but still a very good game .Keep going:);

Developer(+1)

Hey! thanks for playing the game. We are getting a lot of feed back on the difficulty of the levels so I think we should have done that lol. But we're glad you enjoyed the game!

The game is too challeging in my opinion, it needs to be a bit more forgiving, the game is not well optimized, it lags me too much, maybe too detailed moving hitboxes could be the issue? and the sometimes you get stuck randomly. When I tried to do the first job and I was near the jewel, I used the hacker to hack the CCTV and afterwards I go manually and hack the laser, I got caught by the CCTV, because is only 10 seconds until online and I wasn't fast enough, I tried to pick it up the jewel and It didn't want to, I was pressing E like never before, I even tried touching it if that was the case and it still didn't pick it up.

For me it was too frustating in my opinion, hope you can improve it and make it a fun experience for everyone, (sorry if I sound too angry).

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game. We really appreciate the constructive feed back! After the jam we will look into the optimisation of the game as well as the bug you had. Again thanks for the feed back, no problem!

Your game is so cool ! I'm not a big fan of infiltration games but yours is really great !

I haven't managed to finish a level yet but I'll keep the game to try again for sure ;)

Developer

Hey! thanks a lot for playing the game, we're glad you enjoyed it! Took use a few tries to get through the first level as well.

Nice job guys! It has great mechanics and well made! I was thinking about something similar for VR(player 1) and PC(player 2) combo.

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game! We're glad you liked it :D

need more (high) ratings on this game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words!

The stealth mechanics are well implemented to be sure, and even though I couldn't finish the first level, it was still very fun. Nice work!

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game, we're glad that you enjoyed it :D

I totally loved the element of stealth in the game, and that music really complemented it all. I truly can see myself playing this with a friend in CoOp and have a blast. In addition, the game reminded me a bit of Among Us which means you hit the golden eye : }

Developer

Hello! We are glad you enjoyed playing our game :D It really means a lot! We could surely consider adding a multiplayer  :)

Submitted

Hi! This would be so cool as an online multiplayer, do you have plans to expand it in the future? 

(I definetly see myself and my firend just yelling at each other playing this lmao)

As for the art style, the hacker camera is nice! maybe add animations for the hacker character? A simple Idle would do nicely! and maybe some effects for his screen, like he is in his computer or something like that! That would add so much visually! 

I love neon lights on signs but I feel like the menu could do some more styling! Think about the narrative, maybe the two characters are inside  some car with the lights off waiting for the action to start and the menu is displayed there! 

Overall this is a really fun and innovative idea! So well done :D 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We tried to keep with the theme while giving it style

We might expand to a local or even online multiplayer style option as we continue with this, but if we do plan on any updates we will require some time to set it up as it will not be a quick addition. The other tips will be taken into consideration as well.

Thanks for the support and we wish to give quality with each project.

Really enjoyed this game! Loved the concept of it, having to time your hacks right to get by is great. Everything worked really well together and I had a blast during my playthrough, great job!

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game and the feed back, we're glad that the game ran well and that you had a great time!

Submitted

I like the concept and the tools that your hacker has to disable machines, they are useful and enjoyable to use.  I would  have like seen more pollish in some parts like laser colliders, but the game base is good. Well done.

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing and the feed back on the lasers and the hacker! After the jam we will look into your feed back to make the game better, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Tons of fun! The music made for some great heisting! I wasn't able to use the hack abilities again after 15 seconds though and I thought the hack in the building was too hard. Maybe make the amount of numbers shorter?

Developer

Hey there! thanks for playing the game, we will look into the bug you had and will also make the levels easier. We're glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Really fun game, I enjoyed playing it. Good work!

Hey! thanks a lot for playing, glad to know you enjoyed it!

This game is very good! its impressive the amount of content it has, I fond it a bit hard, in the first level the cameras turned back on before I managed to grab the diamond, and in the second I got immediately caught after grabbing the diamond. Overall Great job!!

Developer

Hey! thanks for playing the game, we really appreciate the feed back.  We too found it hard on the first tries but we're glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

The game was fun. I just had some trouble seeing the red cone on the floor since I'm colorblind. Otherthan that loved it

Developer

Hey! thanks a lot for playing, really happy you enjoyed it! after the jam we will add a feature to customise colors in the main menu.

Submitted
