Cool idea! I liked the enemy's confused noises when I managed to lose them.

Oh no! I think it's inevitable that someone would find a way to glitch out of the levels because of how the game was made, I tried to prevent it but I definitely didn't have time to check every area.
The second half of level 2 has been a difficult spot for many people, so you aren't alone! It's the number one place in my mind to fix up once the jam is over.
Thank you for playing and for your feed back! If you can tell me where you managed to get outside the world that would be super helpful but no pressure if you don't remember! :)

Thank you so much! I super appreciate you taking the time to let me know! I had no idea crates could be used that way, I tried to be careful about decorative pieces like that but clearly I wasn't careful enough.

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked the mechanic! I had a similar effect as a result of getting hit by an enemy in last year's jam and that was my favourite part of that game, so I was really happy to be able to design around the concept thanks to this year's theme.
I really need to get a better understanding of how lighting works in Unity, it's possible that I should have used a different type than point lights to try and help guide the player. I definitely agree that helping to guide the player that way would be good design.
Also I'm sorry about that trap! I honestly don't remember putting it there, and it activates right when you load into the scene! I'm just thankful that it doesn't instantly hit the player, but for sure it's badly placed.

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! It's true that if the areas are blatantly marked out then it would remove the exploration aspect, so having a time limit like you mentioned is one good approach. The idea I currently have is an item or an ability which gives hints in general location and then there could be some sort of incentive to only use it if you're really stuck, such as a stat for getting through the level without relying on it. I'm glad you found it fun! :)

Thank you very much! I think in general I should have made the levels a bit smaller and the gaps a bit larger, but a glowing outline like you suggest could help as well. Maybe some sort of pick up in each level which reveals areas which can be squeezed through. :)
I think the level size was quite nice I’m not a fan of small rooms that make you feel claustrophobic in games (or in life) I like the idea of a pickup or even like a particle effect you touch that will fly over to an area of interested, another solution would be putting bright lights in the next room that way the light from the next room shows the gap. I enjoyed it how it was though.

I also don't like claustrophobic conditions in games, despite having made a game all about squeezing through small areas! 😅 I think I erred a bit too much on the scale of the environment compared to the player, but I'd have to look at each section of each level to see where things could be improved.
I did try to put bright lights near to the first unmarked gap in the tutorial level but I couldn't get it to show up clearly and kind of gave up on that approach as a result. If I understood lighting in unity better I think it would have been a great approach.

Thank you for playing! And going the extra mile to download it, I really appreciate that! :)
I think I ended up making everything in the game twice as large as I should have, so there's a lot of wasted space in the levels.

I think it would be the lack of hints, or at least me not getting them, to progress and how often there were interesting things to do. I realise that this was done during a game jam, so i didn't really mark proportional to my reviews, i'm a bit more encouraging with the marks. Also, I jsut realised there's this fun shooter, where you can turn 2D. I can't find it anymore, it's in the asian market.

Thank you! Next time I'm going to make sure I have my camera issues sorted out before I move on to other areas of the game. :D

Thank you! I tried to use lights to direct the player at infiltration points, but I couldn't quite get them to be obvious enough. To shine a light through a gap in the wall I had to either put the torch right in front of it or increase its intensity to the power of the sun.
