The game is really well made, this can be expanded to be fully fledged game, it needed to be a more difficult like when hacking should be a small minigame, the light should be reset after certain amount of time making it more difficult and intriguing.

Maybe you can add that you can play 2 characters at once, dividing the screen and then making minigmaes based on it that needs synchronized coordination, but other than you have really nice game :D

Thanks for your feedback! We'll think about implementing your ideas in a new version :)

Awesome theme and music! I did it in 159 seconds after some failed attempts. :)

Very nice game!

Developer

That's a pretty good time! And thanks for the feedback

I loved the idea of the game and it was very fun to play.

I had some problems tho... The menu seems to be off screen so it made a little hard to understand at first what I was supposed to do.

Another thing that I think that could be improved imo is the player animations. If I walk right left right left, etc... The player sometimes shows the front sprite and sometimes it keeps switching between the front and side sprites.

Great job!

Developer

Thanks for your detailed feedback. It really helps to see bugs like that. May I ask whether you played the Mac or Windows version?

Submitted

It was the Windows version :)

Submitted

I got so close :(      But a very interesting game overall, guards had some pathfinding issues though

Developer

Yes thats true haha. Thanks for the feedback!

The aesthetic of the game is great ! However I find it very punitive, especially because of the CCTV. I'd would have loved if we could switch characters with 1, 2, and 3 keys. It's pretty hard to tap the spacebar two times, while trying to get the timing right with the CCTV de-activation.

I love the idea though ! Good job ! 

Developer

You're right. The game is pretty hard and the new idea for character switching is very good! Thanks!

Great entry, well done for finishing something! I didn't quite make it to the end sorry, but I thought the theme was really well implemented and the character design was great. I'd agree with the comment below - 1,2,3 would've worked much easier for the character switching, I felt like I didn't quite have enough time to move through the CCTV camera before it came back on. You could also keep them switched off for longer. 1 star on the audio because it wasn't made during the jam - sorry, those are the rules! It fits really well, and adding the music meant the whole game felt a lot more complete, though, so it's good that you put it in!

As you can see from my video, there was a small issue with UI on the tutorial screen. Other than that though, it seemed to work really well. Good job 😁

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and the gameplay video! Actually there was no restriction on using pre-made audio.

Submitted

There was no restriction, but I'm not giving you a score on it because you didn't make it 😂can't have someone winning in the "audio" category if they didn't make the audio during the jam!

I totally understand. By saying "those are the rules" I thougt you were referring to official rules. I get it now, my bad. Thanks again so much for your feedback and gameplay! Much appreciated.

this is a pretty creative take on the theme! I liked using the different character and figuring out how to get the diamond and escape was challenging, but fun! Reading the comment below mine, I think using the 1, 2, 3 buttons would make it easier too, especially when you only have so much time to move & remembering which character you are switching to can waste time. Good job!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. The idea for the controls is very good!

realy good game, tho it took too long to figure out the controlls

Submitted

nice game, love the pixel art type graphics :D

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

The heist was super fun and I loved the mechanic of switching between characters. I think it would be easier though if it was a 1, 2, 3 button system instead of the spacebar to switch.

Developer

Thanks for the positive feedback! The controls can definitely be improved with your suggestion.
