Think this game as a lot of potential, the grappling hook mechanic works really well, and it's a good challenge. I would maybe make it more explicit in-game as to what the deal is with the cameras as that's not so clear, but all in all good work. :) Check my submission too if you get a chance. Cheers.

Kenny KickballheadI think it's a great concept and with a little polish it could be even more fun! I wasn't able to get how I was able to see the guards position using the cameras, is it the lights? But that wouldn't make sense as I'm already seeing the guards walk around. I liked the grappling hook a lot, it was fun to use! However the hole gun wasn't bad, but using middle mouse isn't generally a very great way to control something. Lots of mice have either broken or very heavy middle mouse buttons (from personal experience), and especially when you do it in the WebGL browser build it goes into 'scroll mode', but thats just a little tip! The thing that confused me the most was that I fell unconscious every time I lowered into a floor. Thinking back, was I supposed to use the grapple to get down? Because I didn't find that very intuitive. It made me die a lot :P Other than that, when the guards would move a little slower I think it'd be a really cool concept. Good job on the entry!

They Come At NightThanks for playing, and for the feedback - I think you are right, some more polish would be great. This rating session is basically the first player testing of this game, so any feedback is highly appreciated! I'll incorporate it into the next update.
The cameras work as follows: You can see guards in any room with a camera, but when you are in a room with a camera, that camera will detect your presence as well: If you stay longer than 12 seconds in a room with a camera, the alarm will be triggered. If you destroy the camera, you won't be able to see the guards in this room any more (when you are in a different room), but you can stay there as long as no guard arrives, since there is no camera anymore which could trigger the alarm.
The lights are a somehow different mechanic - only the room where you are currently in is lit. In my original concept, I wanted to create a flashlight-like cone in front of the player, but I wasn't able to finish that one in time. (The light cone went through doors and walls, which just didn't feel right. I'll have to spend some more time on this).
Regarding the middle mouse button - yeah, you are totally right there; that will change as well with the next update. Thanks for mentioning it!
PS: Using the grappling hook to get to a floor below you is generally a good idea :)
Simple but interesting concept, gotta test this out with better time. But so far being a robber with ability to dissolve walls seems a very interesting starting point :D

Fit in the HOLESNice concept. The fact that you can basically remove walls for sometime is just awesome. Please check out my game as well when you have time.

A W(hole) lot of HolesNice game design! There is a bug with the graple hook which you can fly endlessly to wherever you want. But it is also fun.

KangaroonautGreat job, the mechanics are sweet and with polish would look great too I'm sure. The siren scared me the first time I got caught haha which was thrilling :p

Player:VoidCool design, i wanna learn how to do a grappling hook haha. I had fun using the hole mechanic too. The sprite style is cool and unique. Keep it up! Great job submitting a game to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time :)

Moley HoleyAwesome game, as a fan of the thief saga i really enjoyed it. I love to approach it full stealth, as while it is hard to loot without being seen it is so much more rewarding when you get the target items.
I love how you took the challenge and made all the sprites on the game, and also the animations. Thats a big congratulations to you, keep up the good work!

Canadian HolePretty buggy but those bugs dont take away from the experience, its very fun. Would play again :)

Bullet Holesyeah, as long as you are not in the same room, you can only see cops in rooms which have a working camera. however, if there is a camera, it will detect you after a few seconds, so you have to decide whether to destroy the camera (i.e., remove the direct threat, but lose your eyes in the room) or not.
But the cops are still there, and will catch you, no matter if you see them from a different room, or not. I tried to explain this mechanic with the first message panel you see once you arrive at the museum, but I'll improve this in a future version. So actually it's a feature, not a bug ;)
Took me whole while until i figured out what to do but after that it was funny. Great job!

TheMeanMoleA very interesting concept though I think I could have used the grappling hook more xD The alarm got me into tricky situation.
