Thanks for playing :D
It's a fun little game, the sounds are awesome!
Thank you!
Awesome job, had fun with this one but the sensitivity was a bit much.
Yeah my fps camera controls need some work but thanks for playing :)
This game is really fun and I think the connection mechanic is so cool. It really made me careful and be more precise with my movement, but I did feel it as a little punishing. I died a few times because I ran into a no connection zone before I even noticed it dipping.
It's really innovative and nails the theme. Also I love the hacking part and your voice really sold that bit for me lol Great job overall!
Thanks a bunch :D Yeah I think I'll add in a larger range for the connection and make it notify you sooner and clearer so you don't walk out of range accidentally as much.
Video commentary:
Thanks for the video review :)
I enjoyed the game specially the sound effects,although the sensitivity was a bit high and the game needed to be polished,i really enjoyed it,Nice Job!
I'll probably do some polishing and changes after voting is completed. Thanks for playing :)
I'll be honest. I wasn't the biggest fan of how the controls felt although the rest of the game wasn't bad. I just wish the game spent more time in the oven for a little bit more polish but obviously, you only had one week and it's a game jam. Negatives aside it was an interesting application of the theme
Thanks for playing :)
super cool needs tbagging
I'll put it on the list :)
Hacking mini game song is fireeeee!!
Simple game, really liked the mobile connection concept, makes you look for the correct path in the world and think about where to go.
The only thing I have to point out is the camera issue, which needs a sensitivity slider, but other than that, good job! :D
Thanks a lot for playing :D
Love the environment, love the voice acting, love the whole idea. The main issue I was having was trying to control the camera. It seems like the camera was accelerating and decelerating instead of starting and stopping. That made it difficult to control, like the camera was on ice. Other than that solid entry
Thank you very much :D FPS camera control is something I have a lot to learn with but I hope the experience was still mostly enjoyable :)
This game is great! Love the sound effects, love the art, the concept and mechanic is really interesting and fun! It's simple and easy to understand!
I do wish the hacking minigame had a little bit more of an introduction? Like telling us how to control it. As someone mentioned, I think the mouse sensitivity was way too high - it was hard to control or aim. As a result of that, the game started to give me motion sickness, and I had to stop playing before I finished it. Which makes me sad, because I actually really wanted to see how things turned out!
Great work, this game is awesome!
Thank you! It turned out a lot better than I expected with the goofy cartoony style lol
Yeah on my mental to-do list I had "put controls overlay for minigame" but never got around to it. Oh I'm sorry it gave you motion sickness, thanks for playing as much as you did :)
Don't know if it's just me but the mouse sensitivity is way too high. I really can't move the mouse, other wise the camera goes all over the place x)
Great concept otherwise!
Time crunch ruined my plans for a mouse sensitivity slider :(
Thanks for playing!
That connectivity mechanic seems like a really cool alternative to invisible walls to cordon off a map, Love it.
Thanks! I came up with the game idea within about half an hour of finding out the theme and immediately latched onto it lol
Fun game! Loved the sound effects and the music in the phone mini game. Mouse sensitivity was a bit too high and aiming does not snap but smooths out. This made it very difficult to aim. It's also very easy to go off the path for just a moment and get a game over. I know there is the beeping when you get close to the edge, but I feel it comes in a bit too late. Maybe a 3 second window for the player to turn back makes it more forgiving. Other than that the game looks nice and plays well. Good job!
Thanks :D This is my first time doing an fps game so I wasn't able to get the aim perfect in time. I thought about adding in a mercy timer to the connection range but it being such a short and small game made me decide not to. It would make it really easy, and people would probably use it to cheese as well. I like having it be something you need to be conscious of while you deal with enemies; makes it a more unique fps experience. Thanks for playing and for the critiques though :)
This was hilariously fun!
Thank you!
The mobile connection feature was really creative! Super fun and looked nice! I'm hoping to play a full version, this game can really expand with the story.
Yeah who knows what those french terrorists will get up to next ;)
Very enjoyable game, had a lot of unique moments to it. I loved the idea behind it and would definitely like to see a full version, using mobile connection to find your route.
Thanks! I've thought of potentially doing more levels or different more replayable modes, so maybe that will happen in the future.
Game is all around very fun. It is straightforward and easy to get the hang of, everything functions well and feels relatively smooth. The minigame is fairly challenging and makes things interesting when you have to sacrifice a minigame in order to keep yourself alive. Fun audio, especially the music for the minigame.
Thanks!
Hey, the concept is very intriguing and I enjoy the custom made sound effects you have for the game. However, the mouse sensitivity is extremely high, making the gameplay hard to even experience. Also, the level is too quiet given the urgent situation my character is in as I assume the hacking on my phone is a timer. I recommend resolving the mouse speed and adding more sounds to the level as I can see this game having some nice potential!
Press Tab when the counterhacking thing on your phone comes up. Yeah the mouse sens was something I wanted to have a setting for but couldn't get it done in time.
Cool Idea that fits very well with the theme. Unfortunately the mouse sensitivity was far too high for me. The level also felt a bit static, no ambience, everything is just still and silent.
Thanks! Yeah sadly the mouse sens setting was something I was trying to do on the last day along with all the sound and cutscenes so when I wasn't able to get it working after a couple hours I just had to move on.
