How does your game fit the theme?
Stealth games are all about sneaking around the guards. This time the you get to feel what it's like to have a cone for eyes and be in the dark looking for intruders.

Really cool concept! This was a good spin on the stealth genre :D
Thanks for playing!
This game is really fun! Good job making something so polished in such a short time!
Thanks for playing! I think my insomnia helped with polishing it up so much haha
Awesome art and so funny to play! Congratulations!
Thanks for playing!
holy cow the visuals are so awesome! Def need to expand on this. make a full version plz
Thanks for playing! I might look into a full version if I have time, I'm thinking maybe 50 levels and more characters haha.
This is such a cool idea, and the music goes hard! Good submission!
Thanks for playing! I'll pass on your praise to the musician!
Cool submission! Good aesthetics and fun gameplay. Could see it expanded with more mechanics and enemy encounters. The isometric movement took some adjustment but overall enjoyable. Great idea and solid realization. Good job!
Thanks for playing!
The game feels great, the concept is amazing and overall the visuals deliver what's needed without much distraction and the game feels cohesive in a really smooth way, also how does the leaderboard work?
PLAYER
:>
Thanks for playing! The leaderboard is a Firebase project I set up that utilizes the Firestore Database service. In the database, I created a collection called leaderboard and each score is saved in the database as a document with two fields (player:STRING,score:NUMBER). Firestore has an option to query sorted data but I do all the sorting client side since I couldn't get it to work.
Displaying the leaderboard:
When someone completes the game it will log in anonymously into Firebase and ask for a list of all the documents in the leaderboard collection. In Godot with the SDK I'm using this will return an array of objects where I can access the fields stored in the document for each document in the database. This gets displayed as a list.
Updating the leaderboard:
When a player presses OK to submit their score the game will add a new document to the collection in the Firestore Database. The document name is the player's name and like stated before it will be initialized with two fields containing the user-submitted name and the score the game had been tracking. After it finishes doing this it makes a request to Firestore for all the documents in the collection again to display. It's untested, but the game is set up to automatically delete any scores that aren't in the top 30 from Firestore. It's a bit too much of a client-side implementation but I'm still pretty proud of it haha.
Firebase has a free tier which does limit how many reads and writes your application can make to Firestore but it hasn't been a problem for me yet (50k read limit a day, I got 300 ish reads yesterday, most from me lol).
Really cool submission! Good aesthetic and quite fun gameplay. Godot 4 gang . . .
Gang gang gang. Thanks for playing!
like night at the museum without the museum
Lol, maybe I should add a museum level in the future. Thanks for playing! Also, I loved your game. Down with Yario!
<3
Clean art and nice gameplay loop! I could see this getting a full release with a bunch more mechanics, and maybe some enemies that can harm the player or something like that. Very good entry!
Thanks for playing! I'll write that idea down in case I come back to it!
Great Idea! Isometric movement was a little weird until I found I could switch it in the settings. If you continue to update it I would give a prompt before the player plays the first level. Never-the-less, the art style is really clean and consistent! Great job!
Thanks for playing! I'll consider adding that prompt in if I update it!
This is an amazing idea, I love it!
Thanks for playing!
The idea is great ! I liked the realization too. Overall fun to play. Also good sound design!
Good job!
Thanks for playing!
Cool concept and great visuals! I controls are good but could be smoother.
Thanks for playing! The backend for the controls is actually pretty bad lol, I need to improve on coordinating visuals to input haha
I really like the aesthetic! Great work!
Thanks for playing!
excellently done! great work
Thanks for playing!
super well designed everything is readable and the game itself is super easy to understand. i just wish the character didnt have to spin around 180 whenever i wanted to look a certain direction.
Thanks for playing! Sorry about the glitchy controls maybe I should've used radians instead of degrees haha
One of the best games I've played in this jam. I love the minimalistic but effective design and colour palette. Simple and captivating. Really like this game.
Thanks for playing! Thank you for the praise! I loved your game also it's very fun!
Presentation is great. Minimalistic, but super efficient to understand and see everything while still being esthetically pleasing. There was a great start at some world building with the character interactions towards the end which sealed it in believing this could be a bigger project!
The idea is well put into place, and though I thought sometimes the timer was a bit unforgiving (since I'm not used to keyboard controls), the levels restart so quickly it was rarely a big pain. And the fact that there's leaderboards justified the purpose of going fast for the purpose of having a high score rather than just to complete the level.
Great job overall, I'm impressed!
Thanks for playing! Thank you for the praise!
Great game with a beautiful minimalistic art style!
Thanks for playing!
