I like the narrative you went with. Nice way to think outside the box, and evokes that core feeling of desperation and survival instincts. Gameplay is well conveyed. Ludonarrative is pretty solid. I could see if you had a little more time, the background story could be fleshed out some more, like you had at the beginning with the diary entry from Sasha. There’s no rating for story, so I added an extra star to gameplay. The gameplay is good, solid, and well-balanced. Nothing particularly standout though.

Art does the job. Simple and conveys what everything is. Doesn’t go above and beyond, so I can’t get too hyped over it.

Great work, for sure! :D

Awesome game! I really admire the amount of detail you convey in just two colors, haha. Very interesting setup and the helplessness of the player in gameplay I think really helps to solidify the story. Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Your game is awesome!

Nice gameplay! I like how the artsyle is very consistent and the stealth mechanics are pretty great! My only complaint is it was hard to tell which boxes are rigidbodies and which are static. I think having a different texture (with arrows pointing in both possible movement directions?) for them would fix that. Great sound effect work also!

Also, minor nitpick, it's hard to tell when you've picked up the backpack at the beginning. Maybe just having a backpack sprite that appears on the character? (or in the corner of the screen?) would make that a bit more clear. Super optional though.

Anyways, good game! Very well put together and fun to play!

Phenomenal job mate, you established a atmosphere that told a small story within seconds. The one letter from the beginning of the game reinforced the theme you were expressing. Good job man, you did amazing and had some pretty good gameplay too.

Developer

That's very nice to hear. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to play the game!

Loving the soviet space cowboy vibes. Interactions were smooth and the art style is very nice!

Good job! I like the aesthetics. There's a small bug with the footsteps; the sound keeps running if you hide or die while walkingl

Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game! Yeah, I'm aware of the bug which I couldn't fix due to time remaining, but I hope you still enjoyed the game!

Until Zero? More like… Umm… It’s a zero! HA!

Serious talk, I like your game, and the art style is quite pretty, the ambience is on point and the music was excellent. Any complaint I’d have with it is probably just nitpicking at this point.

I feel like after ironing out some imperfections, bugs and small issues, and expanding the story a bit, you’d have a very solid game!

Developer

Hahaha. Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the game!

Nice game, well done! Good mechanics and interactions! I would have loved a little bit more level design, but I understand time is short! Nice job really

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, initially there is supposed to be 5 levels but had to cut it due to time. Glad you enjoyed the game!

This is a great game! the art was super clean and the mechanics where polished. My only negative is that it took reloading the level 3 times for the sound and music to play correctly which were both really nice

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! Really sorry you had to experience that but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty neat game. Love the grim atmosphere the clever use of negative players as enemies reminds me of the original Prince of Persia. A really cool world that would be fun to further explore. Great work! Keep it up!
