Really cool how you tied everything together for the story. (I'm a bit jealous of you creating one continuous game, I think I will do the same thing next year)

The section where you had to hide for the guards could use some more background art and it was not clear to me you were supposed to be a bush (I also did think I was disguised as a rock)

Yeah I made almost all of the stealth art and code hours before the deadline so it was pretty rushed haha. Making one big game definitely worked out for me this round where I was sick and time limited but your games have always been super focused on the task and that works out great, too!  I'm actually probably going to make new games every round next year haha.

Nice work tying in prior rounds into a story, fun intro. I didn’t realize I was traveling around in a bush at the start, I thought I was disguised as a boulder, a bush makes much more sense haha

I think it would have been fun to see more of those intro pins and lines come together as individual scenes, I’m sure you had something in mind. Fun progression of the character appearances at the end, well done bringing it to an actual conclusion!

Yay! It's cool to start to flesh out the back story, and huge kudos for getting a complete game done even though your Discord posts made it sound like you had to do a mad push at the end. I really enjoyed the stealth gameplay. Simple but a little challenging at first. As always the old timey atmosphere adds a lot to the story. One nit for me was that moving could also work with arrow keys, (Not that WASD is hard or anything, but for whatever reason I tried the arrow keys first.)

Nice to see your story continue though I guess it was more of a prequal, I really liked the hiding in the bush and it was fun to end with your round one entry battle.

It's a neat idea to do a prequel to Sir Spectacles' story in this round, I enjoyed it! The gameplay is fun, I really love the bush sneaking mechanic. The retro style is as always on point. Very well done, especially considering your situation!

I’m impressed that you managed to submit with your situation. It would have been nice to see what you had planned for this round, since it seems like this would have been the perfect round for Sir Spectacles. Hopefully we get to see more of him in the future.

love getting to know mr spectacles backstory and what led up to what happens in your round one submission :D great game :)

I like how you integrated the boss fight from Round 1 into the story. Overally a clear story with undelining gameplay. Even though you only had a couple of days, its still good :)

Loving the prequel you’ve made and it’s great to see you continuing to build out this charming world. The environment and moving with the bush to stay hidden looked great and fitted the theme of Sir Spectacles character really well
