Hey I just finished your game I really liked it! The art, concept, and use of prereq was great but the gameplay felt a bit odd. Often times while sneaking the monster would instantly look at me even if I was a ways away. The best strat i found was just to constantly chunk treasure everywhere which kinda didnt fit the mood of the game. All in all it was a good time tho

Thanks for playing :) glad you enjoyed. Yeah the AI was one of the toughest parts of this game because of the short timespan i didnt want to focus all my time on it. But just to clarify (and Im not sure i conveyed this in the game super well but) the circles eminating from the player are meant to be "sound" so if a sound wave reaches a monster they will go investigate the source of the sound so if you sneak too close they can snap around and catch you. If this isnt what was happening then sorry for the broken game hehe ai is tough ;(

So i think what was happening is that the I thought the sound circle from sneaking looked a lot smaller than it was so i was just berely sneaking too close. I really liked the idea of the circles as sound and I understood right away so don't worry about that part!
