Here is a capture of a large number of games rated on the last day. This game is in the mix.

Awesome! Thank you for including my game!

First and only entry in stealth genre I've seen this jam. It's very basic, but well executed, so I had some fun. Having no checkpoints was tough though, made me unable to complete it in a couple of tries I gave it.

Developer

There were definitely plans for a teleporting mechanic, just ran short on time  :|
Thank you for playing though!

Very stylish color scheme. I liked the action-stealth aspect to the game and it even had a story. Unlocking the computers granting me more visibility of the maze was a nice touch. I wish I would have had more than just one try before dying, but that's my only criticism. All in all very good entry to the jam, thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thank you! Had I more time to test the game I probably would have given the player at least 3 chances per play.
I appreciate you taking the time to play my game though!

The intro cutscene was good and the stealth gameplay was fun.  I liked the atmosphere and purple neon monochrome styling.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :) Making the color palette is always one of my favorite parts of designing a game so, I'm happy that it was noticed.

I enjoy stealth games of any kind. I really enjoyed some of the powerups/pickups and it kept me going through out. Great intro scene, great color choices and good design.

However, the only feedback I have to give you: the map is too large. There needs to be something to make it easier after you die like checkpoint rooms or something (maybe I missed it?). But enjoyed my time with this regardless, it was challenging and met the theme.

Developer

I had planned on making it easier to traverse the maze (with a teleporting mechanic), but wasn't able to finish that feature due to the time constraints. I agree that it does feel a bit cumbersome to have to travel across any area that has already been covered, but considering this was my first jam I'm just happy that I finished!

Thank you for playing my game, and for the feedback!

Nice submission! I think that the intro sequence was a nice touch - I always enjoy albeit small but some kind of storytelling behind jam games - it makes you invest more time in the game I think. The art style, music, and sounds were very consistent with each other, and keeping a purple-ish color palette really sold it.

If I had to give some feedback I think that when you have such a large map and you make one start over on 1 hit, I think you should include some sort of teleport/portals on the map in order to skip the large travel between sections - otherwise, I think it can be hard to stick to it when you have died a couple of times.

If you have the time, please consider rating our submission as well - thanks!

Thank you! Believe it or not, I had planned on making a teleporting mechanic that takes you back to the previous MegaServer (which would put the player close by the next area), but it was such a busy week, and I ran out of time so instead I cut 2 areas out of the game and made buffs that increase walking speed and zoom the camera out.  

Once the judging is over, I definitely plan on fixing it up a bit, since it's the first game I've uploaded to itch.

Anyways, thanks again for playing and for the feedback, I will rate your submission once I finish my HW for the day!

Great submission, loved the art style and use of lighting and sounds to create ambience and a dark/cyberpunk feeling. well done

Developer

Definitely what I was going for! Thank you for playing!

Good effort. The ambiance and music worked nicely with the theme. Good use of lighting and colours. Nice intro sequence, although it was a lot to read at the start

Developer

Ya it's pretty rough, I definitely ran out of time. 
Thanks for playing though! I appreciate the feedback
