Awesome game! 3 difficulty settings is nice to have. Nailed the theme! UI , SFX , and graphics were all solid, super polished. Loved the blur effect when passing through doors. Also patrolling AI and stealth mechanics! wowow! Seriously amazing job on this game, would love to see more.
Finished normal mode on 108 death, 1300 seconds.
Very well made! A stealth game really becomes something else when you add "shadow clones" to it, congrats on putting these ideas together.
The browser version has a big audio delay.
Thank you for reviewing my game ! I’ve seen a lot of your comments on other projects and I noticed you don’t give compliments to just any game, so I’m really flattered! What browser were you playing on btw? This is the first time I’ve heard of this issue .
I'm running on firefox 90.02, Ubuntu 20.
One of the best implementations of the jam limitation. I gave up on 7 level, but believe that in the second part of the game you added a twist and the player can kill guards using his shadow )
Thanks a lot for the compliments ! I tried your game a while ago and remember thinking the art style looked really good and clean. The gameplay was kinda hard but definitely fun and original !
But I didn’t implement the feature you were talking about in my game, and I am genuinely curious what made you think I did? It’s pretty interesting though so I might do something with it !
Because it sounds logical for me :) For example, why is my shadow following me, but other guys don't have a shadow? Ok, only I have a shadow, but why is it killing only me? So, that's why I supposed you did it. Like you all game hiding from the guards, you agree with feeling fear front of guards, that twist, when the shadow started killing not only you but guards can flip the gameplay and can be described as developing of the main character. I hope I described the idea clear :)
Thank you ! Your game was definitely super original and it amazes me how fast you managed to make it !
Artstyle is amazing, and the fact this was all done in 3 days blows my mind! Game is brutally difficult in a good way too :)
Thanks ! I think I'm getting the hang of being efficient in game Jams .
I played your game a while back and it was really nice. The music and the art made the game look really peaceful and nice to play.
Thanks for playing! That means a lot :)
so cool
thanks!
5/5, this is an amazing game! The only things i would change is 1. The difficulty. I couldn't get past level 4. 2. This is more a personal opinion, but i think the font looks kinda old and this is a really futuristic game, so i would choose a more modern looking font. 3. Maybe make the field of view of the square enemies more visible.
Other than that, amazing submission, it doesn't really fit the theme, but is a creative way to incorporate the limitation.
I hope the feedback helped you a bit, it would be nice if you could check out my submission too. Thanks! :)
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback ! The difficulty of the game was definitely the hardest thing to make right for the Jam. Since I made the game it's obviously way easier for me than anybody else but I'll try to do some more balancing.
I tried your game some time ago btw. I really like the concept, it kinda reminds me of escapes rooms , I think it could be amazing if you made some puzzles you would need to solve while trying to escape your brother.
Thanks for the feedback also! Yes, the part with the difficulty makes a lot of sense, happens to me all the time :D
Even though I gave up at level 11 after dying 100 times. It is a pretty solid, well polished game.
Wow! Thanks for dedicating so much time to my game! I'm pretty sure not a lot of people made it this far lol.
I tried your game and it looked absolutely stunning! you really nailed the pixel art and the overall feeling the game gives
To be honest, artstyle is stunning - I really love it!
And this game gives me a challenge, so I got me nice UX.
I hope my feedback was useful! I'd appreciate it a lot if you could check out my submission too!
Thanks for the feedback ! I already tried and made a comment on your game a few hours ago I think
Definitely one of the top 3 games I've seen so far really amazing concept well put together and executed GG
One of the best games I've seen thus far, it's so incredibly polished and the color palette looks amazing too. I honestly have no real complaints about it ;)
Thank you ! I love the artstyle of your game btw
kind of hard, but VERY cOoOOOOoOol
Thanks a lot ! I tried and rated your game, I like the concept, it's pretty fun to balance oxygen and speed!
The game seems very hard as I could not pass level 3. This may just be not being very good but i genuinely do not know how to beat the level.
Hey thanks for trying the game! For level 3 you just need to turn a corner and make the square lose sight of you to make it stop chasing you. Sorry if this was not very obvious, I might make some changes to make it so.
Really cool game, with some nice visuals and a great, classy concept.
However I often encountered the issue that I died right at the starting point as soon as I pressed a button. It seemed to happen ever other death.
