That was interesting, to say the least.
Stealth Metroidvania is an idea I've been dreaming about ever since it appeared as an optional theme on one of the voting pools, so I was curious to see what was going to come out of this. There's definitelly potential behind the idea, but I still don't feel like it have been fully fleshed out here sadly, but I understand this is probably due to time restraints. I really like how Patrick is barely faster than the enemies tho, after all, the best stealth games are the ones were stealth is a mere suggestion!
The art is very pretty too, you guys went all out on the scenery and it paid off, it's a very pleasant world to wander around and look at. I also really appreciate the story, I'm also the kind of person that is way more willing to play as a named character than a generic hitbox provider, and I kinda wanted to see more of it, I don't feel like I had enought time to know Patrick properly, kinda wish I could also have actually met Demmie throught a phone call or something (Also cmon, was Patrick's computer really the only one on that whole building?? or did Jack went all out breaking everything he found on the way? (Actually, that seens like a funny image, I'm headcanoning that))
But anyway, gameplay was pretty simple, I don't have any real comment on that. ALTOUGHT, the sound effects lmao, I'm sorry, but I just can't tank the "AURGH", "UGH", "EUGHH" every time I jump, it's just soooo silly XD
I also found the backstab animation amusingly cute, idk, every time I saw it I just screamed a very soft "hyiaa" in my mind x)
Also yeah, you can fall out of bounds if you pass throught a transition and immediatelly turn around, I assume that happens because the game spawns Patrick right at the edge of the room whenever he pass throught a door. There's also no ceilings on the open areas, so I also could climb every big wall and throw myself into the void behind them too because that's funni
A minor nitpick too: I will once again advocate against spacebar jumping like I already did in various other jam games. Please, if you're not using W for anything else, PLEASE let me jump with it!! I know it's just personal preference, but I always like to complain about that because it's such an easy thing to just give me the option to jump with both....
