How does you game fit the theme?
You can deploy monster illusions to scare and distract soldiers to get around.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for the sound, and the monster sprite (though I did heavily modify it)

Had fun playing for sure, nice fast pace shooter, good job!
Nice game! I really liked the ideas you had and the mechanics! I think there can be some balancing done still to make it a bit easier / fair, but since it's a game jam project that's fine.
The artstyle and music choices where really good too ^^ Good job :)
Happy to be your 20th rater! I liked the two sabotage mechanics you introduced, it was a great tactical addition to this stealth shooter. The sprites were simple but good-looking, the whole game felt like playing with some sketches on paper, but I'm good with that.
The UI could use some improvements, maybe you could emulate the same sketchy style you used with your other sprites.
The audio was matching the game style.
Very fun game
nice graphics man
Good job it's quite entertaining, keep going with your games!
I had a lot of fun! Still, it felt like you couldn't plan ahead for the mechs, because they would shoot shortly after appearing on camera. Good job overall!
The game is really cool! Placing EMP bombs for the mechs while using fake mechs for the soldiers is a cool idea. The player feels nice to play, and there is no major technical issue. The only problem is that the game isn't designed very well. You have no easy way of distracting mechs. If the mechs would aim at your distractions, and more levels were made, things could be a lot cooler. Overall, very interesting game!
the art and sound was cool, and the game was a lot of fun but I could not manage to stay alive for 30 seconds
Yeah, balancing that level is a little tricky. (it was the last level, so you almost made it!)
Believe it or not, but it can actually be done without getting hit at all, but that requires studying where the mechs will go and placing EMPs at the perfect place.
I think this is great game!
pretty nice game!
Great work
This is an amazing entry! Well done, I really love the gameplay!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
What a unique and interesting game! Looking forward to more levels ;)
The game is really fun, I wish there were more level and the monster illusion were more limited because you could just spam the right click button. Overall really fun game!
Thank you for the review. I was going to limit monster illusions as soon as I had a level where that limit would be interesting, but ran out of time.
I usually do not play/review executable onlys but since you specifically asked me to I did. Considering you used Godot making a HTML5 browser playable shouldn't be that hard (name it "index" so that it is uploadable to itch) XP
In general it's pretty fun and creative. The interactions between the pieces you have put made interesting puzzle -- altho I suppose until the survive 30 seconds the solutions are all a tad bit too obvious (the 30 second survival level though... is very rad). Also love the you win room where you gave thick health for the player lol
The design in general is also very fine in how mechanics are introduced gently one by one so I could understand the previous mechanics before moving on to the next.
Biggest improvement that can be made to this game is I think, the graphics. It is okay, but I think none of the sprites actually convey the objects well. Let's take for example the soldier; bright green as helmet... is... why? I think that color is too saturated for a game of this mood. The mech conveys the message well, but again; too saturated imo.
I hope this does not sound harsh, but the biggest offenders are perhaps, the player and the items (EMP and illusion module). The player... it looks weird... Is the player wearing a cap or hat? I don't know because I cannot tell from the sprites. And then the illusion module... um... I don't think I understand what it actually looks like lol is that supposed to be a mech or something? And the EMP mine looks... well... I'm not sure that is what I imagine how it should look like -- it looks like a piece of slime as it is now. How about considering something that looks mechanical for a mine? ;=;
In any case though I had a fun time playing this game!
Thank you for the feedback! Most people leave nice little notes which I appreciate, but a long critique is worth much more.
I agree, the art is something I need to do sooner. I do it last-minute and I'm not an artist so this is what we get :)
I wanted to add more levels that are tactical (as opposed to fast-paced like the survival level), but ran out of time to add much beyond tutorial levels. Of course, the survival level seems to be everyone's favorite, so maybe I should have focused on that!
(As for HTML version, I will try to do that next time, but I've had weird performance issues in the past. I do want more players though so debugging that is probably worth it)
I like the idea and the implementation. Good game :D!
Nice!
Really Enjoyed playing the game especially the survival level. Would be good if you could throw the emp grenades bit further. All round Fun Game.
Thank you for the feedback.
I agree about the EMP grenades, but ran out of time to implement what I wanted (something that could bounce off of walls).
yeah that would be good. Nice work though
