Great game! Had a blast.
It looks and feels very good. Had some hard time at the start, but I assume it's intended and that's the learning curve. Overall well done, very good submission in my opinion :)
Thanks a lot ! :D
Yeah, it's a tad hard, especially at the beginning, but we really would have liked to have a tutorial for this game, since it has several mecanics :/
Thanks a lot for playing ! :D
Great fun, great game def top 50 for the game jam for me. Good luck!
Thank you very much, that's very kind of you ! :)
Really enjoyed that each person you rescue unlocks an ability! That captures one of the aspects of the theme that came up in our brainstorming and I really liked! Glad someone made it!
Here’s a clip of me playing through the game! Hope it helps! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1580889838
Hey, thanks for playing ! :)
I watched the clip, it was fun ! :)
I really wished we had time for tutorials, because there are several things many people didn't (and couldn't) notice. Namely, killling ennemies makes noise and attracts them, except if you press E to backstab them, that kind of thing x)
Also yep, I agree, ennemies are a quite hard, since we wanted to capture the difficulty of Hotline Miami x)
Thanks a lot for the feedback ! :)
A very fun top-down action game, I really love the fast pace action and chaos! It's a shame that I don't have access to the fun abilities at the start of the game like meeting doors. But overall, really nicely made and enjoyable, nice work!
Hey, thank you for the feedback ! :)
Yeah, I agree, but we wanted to make the player feel like they were improving, and therefore add interactions as you free your buddies ! :)
Thanks for dropping by and playing ! :D
I loved the graphical style, but it seemed very unforgiving to me. Nice direction, though!
Yeah, it is quite hard, and the more I see people playing it, the more I realize that x)
Thanks ! )
Wow, a stealth game with miami vibes, nice! My favorite powers were the explosive cart and the cocaine, they helped me a lot. I didn't understand what was the point of that toilet though, but it made me laugh when I first tested it lol.
The only issues I can point out is that the enemies normally ignored the explosive carts and didn't care about dead bodies and that their attack animations weren't always synced with their attacks (sometimes they kill you before it even starts).
Congratulations, this game was really fun to play!
Oh cocaine, really ? And here I thought no one would like it x)
Toilets are a bit buggy, because they've been coded by stupid me, but if you throw them while not too far from the enemy, it'll kill him :)
Yep, those are all things we'd like to fix, thanks for pointing it out :)
Thank you very much for the valuable feedback ! :D
So fun to play. Didnt use buddies much but levels were really nice.
Thank you so much ! :)
Yeah, I guess buddies are just a little bonus, not so much something needed to win the game x)
Very dynamic and fun! I tried to just charge in and knock out everyone before they realize, but that didn't work out :P
Thank you for giving it a try ! :)
Yeah, killing ennemies without stabbing them is noisy, and it tends to draw the other ones near :D
Liked the energy :) Dynamic is pretty cool, but the delay between the moment enemy noticed you and the moment you died - is almost 0, which fills irritating. Overall - great job you've done here!
Thank you so much ! :)
Yep, enemies are kinda hard to emphasize stealth. Killing them even if they saw you is still possible if you manage to bait their attacks x)
