How does you game fit the theme?
WARNING! This game has a bug so it freezes after tutorial or after start. I tried to submit a fix in the grace period, but the chat bugged out. You can play a working version here: ​​ https://agrerim.itch.io/paranoid-escape2 (if clicking link doesn't work, try copy-pasting it to your address field - clicking it seems to add some random numbers at the end which gives page not found) for fun ​but voting for the game jam should, unfortunately, be done for this very incomplete version.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, I used some assets from the asset store.

Good game! This reminds me of robbery bob. The only thing I could say is the guards' vision are not clear enough. I think it could be better if the vision area is fully visible (like in robbery bob). Overall, great work!

Fantastic game 👏, the graphics are simple yet good enough, On minor improvement would have been to make the guards easier to avoid: make it so that they don't directly follow you but wait something like 0.5s before targeting you so that you can quickly run away 😆

Really good for a first game 👍

Developer

Thank you very much! Yes, you are probably right about the guards - a lot of feedback revolves around nerfing them a bit and making it more clear how far they see etc. Good idea with the short break, and perhaps a warning sound. I just tried your game as well - great work! :)

This was a good game I found it was a little too challenging lol good job on your first game!

Developer

Thank you! :) Noted, next one will be a bit easier ;)

i love the game! keep it up!!!

Developer

Thank you for trying our game! I tried yours ;)

my friend, the frames

Developer

Hi! I'm sorry, but I didn't quite understand. Is the frame-rate bad for you? In that case, I'm sorry! Or do you mean something else? Either way, thanks for playing our game! :)

Hey! 


Might have been a browser problem! Tried it in mozilla and worked better, sorry for the scare

I'm sorry a bugged version of the game was submitted, but so glad you shared the link to the bugfix version! I liked your game but found it a bit too challenging. I couldn't tell exactly where the guards eye line was and if I would be seen or not. Maybe adding a cone that is the exact sightline would be helpful. Other than that I really enjoyed this!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

This is very good feedback! Another player mentioned that he/she felt the guards could see too far. I think these issues are related. Both shorter view range and clearly marked view cones would help a lot! If we keep developing the game a bit, this will definitly be added! It will also be an interesting challenge to render these view cones in a way so the view is blocked by the walls! I will try your game today :)

Audio makes the game more fun and nervous to play XD

I rated yours, rate mine too :D

Developer

Haha, yes, the audio turned out to be very important! I will try your game today! :)

Submitted(+1)

It was so fun! The sound was very effective.

Developer

We're very glad you liked it! I will give your game  a go too, today! :)

Fun!! But I got a little nervous while playing XD Such a great atmosphere.

It sucks that you weren't able to sort an official working version in time, we had that happen last year (which was a shame cause I was proud of our creation!) I gave your late submission a go though and really liked the idea. Could see this being expanded into a much bigger puzzle game with multiple levels and other enemies with different types of movement patterns. The music was great too!

Developer

Thank you for your supporting comment! I understand you must know the frustration, then! And thank you very much for seeing the potential - of course we would idealy have wanted much more different kinds of paranoias, compulsions and hallucinations. Perhaps we will expand it a little bit more after the jam. My co-creator already tried your game and I will give it a go today too! :)

Submitted(+2)

Nice concept, i liked the feeling of the game, some step sounds would improve the atmosphere very much

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! It is a mistake on our part with the balance of different sounds - there actually is a step sound but it is way to silent. Will definitly fix that if we keep working on the game after the jam! I have some more time now and will try your game today :)

The game is pretty good, but too bad about the bug. The new game link you send, does not work, and think it's because you not have made the new game page public.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for commenting on the link. I think I managed to fix it (for me it worked if I copy-pasted it into the address field, but not if I clicked it - now clicking should work too), and I wouldn't have found out if you didn't point it out! I will try your game today! :)

Had fun, seemed like the range might be a bit long on the enemy detection.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I see someone else has also commented on that it is hard to know how far they can see. If we keep developing the game I think a bit shorter range and more clear range cone would be priorities! I will try your game today! :)

Awesome game! I loved the concept and the eagle eye view it helped alot to hide! The music was great too!

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment! We tried a complete top-down "orthographic" view first, but I think this top-down 3D worked out - glad you liked it! I will definitly try your your game today :)

Submitted(+2)

Pretty cool concept! I had fun running away from enemies :). Music is cool too.

It is sad that the jam version is not working. 7 seconds until deadline. You are such a risk lover!

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment! I have had a busy week with other work, but I will definitly try your your game today :)
