Very good submission.
So far only beat level 1 playing next levels after jam
What a sassy catburglar! I was a little worried by the look of the title screen (which is very nicely done by the way) that this game might rely a little too heavy on the sex appeal of the character, but she is actually a very nice well put together character. I agree with many others that the art and voice acting are top notch. The game play is super smooth, just like the character lol. I thought the difficulty was just right for me, and I am not at all a stealthy game type person. Is there a proper ending you can get, does anyone know? I got to the ring part and got caught by the dog on top floor and then the game resets and I didn't know if there's was a way to get pass that particular dog and to get some sort of ending? A very well done and polish game indeed.
Thank you for playing our game!
We really discussed the whole idea of "allure" for Cynth inside our team a good bit. Our goal wasn't to make her a sex icon by any means, but to let her have a hint of allure as would most certainly be within her rights. Albeit with, what we hoped, would be a classy and tasteful presentation. Really happy that it seems to have come off that way. We also wanted her to be a bit goofy too, which I tried to incorporate in her animations.
There does seem to be a strange bug that players encounter where it resets the game or crashes. That is something we will really need to look into after the Jam. Inconvenient for sure..
If it brings your curiosity some closure there is indeed an ending! And even a 1 off animation on the 3rd and final level. With a sort of cutscene at the end.
Again, thank you so much for playing! I think we might polish it up after the Jams voting phase closes up. Sorry for the inconvenience though!
Oh I am glad to hear there's more levels and an ending! And yes very well done job on giving Cynth just enough allure but not over the top, I actually quite like her personality and I look forward to check out the game again when the reset bug goes away!
I mean, game's great. The shadow mechanic is fun and the snippets of story here and there made it wildly enjoyable, plus it's really the stuff I like so to me this knocked it out of the park. The only reason I'm writing the following is because at least we'll have smth to talk about when relating to this beast of an entry.
One thing I didn't like was the fact that I could basically just stand inside a guard without them catching me. I think it's fine as a "hidden" mechanic based on the players skill, but from really early on it's a skill you kinda have to use and it's a bit counterintuitive (dogs might be blind but they should sniff you anyway/the idea of stealth is being away and sneaking around). On the flipside. in the first level on the top floor you can roll over the guard to basically teleport outside the guard's awareness and it looks like a really advanced move for a first level, but since it's not "required" to complete the level it feels rather good to pull it off if you can and first run players won't be discouraged by it.
What a nice entry. The intro is really perfect. The actress sounds really good.
Excellent submission! The gameplay is simple yet challenging, and the art direction is top notch. Love seeing a game with so much care in the sound aspect. Voice acting is something rare in gamejams and always appreciated, especially with this level of polish.
I played it over a little time window, and game crashed after first mission (Windows build). At first I thought it was intentional because I won lol, but reading the comments make me want to revisit it! The difficulty on this level can get a bit too challenging though.
Thanks for your entry!
freaking adorable and awesome. and im stuck. lol.
