Great twist on the theme! Transforming in front of someone is thrilling and I like it! Nice work!

Really fun idea and cool looking game!

The music is good. The animation of eating someone is pleasant. I remembered [PROTOTYPE] with the concept.

The learning is a bit unforgiving - it's hard to know who exactly noticed you and how can you avoid the same in the future. The speed of objects feels too slow, and I feel like I cannot instantly consume someone from my hiding.

I would prefer to risk being seen while transforming once.

The idea is good, some of the gates were not clearly telegraphed and it is hard to plan ahead without having a bigger picture.

The two meters at the bottom of the screen confused me more than gave me any information.


Also, on Windows, it was a worse experience than online. First, it refused to launch and said that I don't have the correct Vulkan option (I don't have a video card on this laptop), but then I launched it using OpenGL and it crashed on every restart. That was unpleasant

Thanks for the feedback.  If there ever is an update to the game we'll be sure to keep it in mind. Things like better tells for when you are spotted and more communication with the player are definitely high on the priority of fixes. As for the windows crashing I'm unaware as to what could have caused it. On the diferent systems I ran the build in it appeared to work. Still thanks for the constructive criticism.

Visuals & atmosphere is excellent, I love a good crt effect! And I like that the different transformations have unique uses, the generous detection timer and the clarity of play. Overall very good fun!

Game looks really cool! I think speed when you transform in object may be faster

I really enjoyed playing this game. The idea of being the alien in disguise is quite original. I managed to beat the first level but the second one was too hard for me. I think that the movement speed of the box and the barrel should be a bit faster. Overall a great submission!

Thanks a lot

Super cool game! I liked the amount of effort you put into the art and music. Your art style is epic, I love stealth games and you made a fun one.

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

This game was fun! I liked how the different people had different roles. Some minor suggestions would be to maybe add vision cones on the people so you could see whether you were visible, or possibly adding a suspicion meter rather than an instant death system. Maybe you could add a sprint for when you are an object but have the sprint raise suspicion when you are using it, or have suspicion go up when you are in an area where you would not normally be. Overall, great job!

Developer

Wow these are great ideas, especially the ones regarding  the object sprint. There is a meter regarding suspicion but its a  bit hard to see (its on the bottom left). Still if there ever is an update after the jam I'll be sure to keep it in mind. :D

Wooo I love stealth games. Got stuck a few times but I love the switching roles mechanic. Great work!

Fun stealth game!

I like the visuals but the effect hurt my eyes after awhile, (But that's probably just me) having an option to turn the effect off would be nice

After transforming it's a bit slow but aside from that I had fun sneaking around and collecting everything, good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it. We are planning to adjust the crt effect after the jam since it is a little excessive.

Really cool game, the object movement feels annoyingly slow though :) Great work! 

Edit: Also theres a lot of bumpy walls, i sometimes got stuck on a "corner" on a straight wall while trying to walk alongside it, but that's just a minor inconvenience :D

Developer

Thanks for the reply, the wall collissions are indeed a bit odd. But still thanks for playing.
