Game description
A stealth puzzle game where you navigate through tunnels during a war to deliver coded messages
Theme interpretation
I wanted to incorporate the theme in both the gameplay and the overall feel/setting of the game. The theme helped me develop the main idea and key mechanics like the hidden passages and passing secret notes, as well as the reduced vision of the player making it so that there were secrets behind every turn. The bonus themes made for fun challenges in honing my ideas and helping me stay focused.
I attempted to implement the (1) Small Palette and (3) Speed Run wild cards.

Love the visuals and the idea but it's very buggy. Frequently walked straight through guards cone and nothing happened, frequently died when nothing anywhere near. Seems there's a lot of squares that are instant death with no indication/reason for it.
interesting thanks for the feedback, i cant seem to replicate the bugs how did you do it? or could you send a video?
Here you go. First time it works almost correct, except in bottom left where it won't let me walk through the empty squares (thats why I paused and backtracked - wonderd why it wouldn't let me walk through there, but 2nd time it did).
Second time and all subsequent: you can see me run through the guards, nothign happens, then I die on the same specific tile a few seconds later. If I avoi that SPECIFIC tile then I dont die.
hmmm after messing around for a bit i think its just weird hit box thing, so the player has a bit of a grace period especially from the bottom when they get hit by the cone, and when you run to the bottom when the guard rotates to move up so does the vision cone and it hits the player at like 1ms and hard to react.
Great video game!
I like sfx ;)
Very cute art and fun stealth gameplay! Torch mechanic was a cool idea! :)
Well done. Cute characters.
I like the torch game mechanic. Good job.
Great game! I think the premise of your game is pretty cool, and I think it's awesome how you implemented the torches. I'd say the only thing is the volume of the game starting, the reverb surprised me and made my headphones reverb haha. Other than that great work, very well polished.
