Got caught by the walking guards a few times by rolling before I see them because of the screen real-estate. Very good graphics and cut scenes but would have liked to be able to skip them. Also like the option of playing the next level, good option for a jam game.
Very cool concept, and nicely executed!
I did stumble upon guards a couple of times, so I had to be really cautious to make it to the elevator. Instead of using a "life bar" that depletes, it'd theme it as an "alert meter" that would fill and spawn more guards if full.
Awesome game, congrats!
Interesting suggestion! Could be an update or a different game that can use that mechanic.
I think this is a really neat game with more story elements than I expected! My only gripe is just that I wanted to skip the story cutscenes a little quicker because I had finished reading them waaaayyyyy before they switched. Otherwise, great job!
good concept and i really like the story
I really liked it! the art is impressive
The story was well thought out, this could definitely be expanded into a bigger game!
prety nice game I have fun playing it, the oly things I would change is make the intro that you can skip it or make it faster beacuse there where time where I finish reading and I have to wait also I would make that you can press the buttons with the keys and not with the mouse to give a mor gb vibes upon all of that the graphis the gameplay and the sound where greate.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback, but I did make it so that u can choose buttons with the keys, its in the controls, but I think I didn't lock the cursor even if its invisible.
my bad I didn´t look the control options
Very good cutscenes and animation.
Little bug I found, you can stay hidden while still rolling. Apart from that the story felt great, nice game!
Oh thx for the feedback! I'm gonna take that into consideration if I want to update this. :)
The art in this game is fantastic. And the sound is pretty good and fitting. I beat level 1, and tried several times to beat level 2. It's simple, but it does feel like you're sneaking around a dystopia, how you have to avoid being seen by both guards and the kinda mindless workers in this dark shadowy setting.
The problem is that I don't know how to tell if a guard is just off screen next to a column. It happened so often that I'd roll to the next column right into a guard, completely unable to tell. So it just felt a little up to chance, which is annoying because I actually really like this game otherwise!
Oh thanks for the feedback, I see ur point in the second paragraph as I stumbled upon it in playtesting, maybe I should have added maybe an alert if one was near, I don't know if I will ever update the game, maybe next time so I can take this into consideration, thanks for playing!
Maybe something like looking ahead a little bit. So if you hold B/X the guy can scout in his current facing direction or switch direction if you're holding B/X (but not roll). But I understand if you don't update it, I seldom do either!
