Fun little game. It appeared the "notice" mechanic was fairly forgiving as I thought I was caught very clearly but it didn't end the run. That almost made it too easy as I finished in one try with about 30 seconds remaining using the arrow keys. Great job!
Yes, you have 0.5 seconds before being spotted and because there is not an "alert" phase, you instantly lose.
If it was longer it would be way too easy, if it was shorter it would be frustrated for players who aren't familiar with stealth games.
I wish I had more time to get more levels in and work on their design but I got out of time!
Thank you very much for playing and for your honest feedback!
Awww I loved that the goal was to get back to the little turtle family! Great job, you have a cool game here :)
Thank you very much for playing and leaving a comment!
nice little game. I also would've appreciated some sounds, but that's game jams for you... sometimes you just gotta crunch.
Well done though. Good luck in the jam!
D
Thank you so much for playing and for the input!
Best of luck to you too!
What stood out to me the most is the little indicator for when you are about to be spotted! Very neat. A short but fairly enjoyable experience, could use some sound effects (maybe like a PING noise when they start spotting you?). Didn't encounter any bugs! Good job, good luck with the jam.
Thank you very much for playing and for the kind feedback!
Yes, I agree with everything you said about being short and having no sound! I had a much bigger vision for this game, but unfortunately I ran out of time!
Developing this was kinda like racing in it's own right xD
AH YES, the ever-looming threat that is overscoping! I really had to reign myself in for my own project and forced myself to stop making mechanics and start making actual content, so I feel ya. We live and learn, right?
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Success! 85.5 remaining!
It's short, and it needs sound, but I enjoyed what I played :)
Nice time!!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
super cool! I love the concept of a stealth-racing game. I’ve said this before, but I wish you would have used one of the sound designers volunteering their services.
Thank you for the feedback!
I think so too, connecting with more people would have helped to a better game.
To be honest, I felt insecure because I didn't know if I would be able to do my part and finish the game since I'm a beginner in game dev. So I wanted to make something I'm more comfortable with, without having to worry if I would let someone down with an unfinished game!
Simple and Fun, Audio will improve a lot the experience.
Good job.
Thank you, very much for your kind words.
Yes, the audio would make it a lot better. Maybe after the voting is done I will add something that suits the theme!
