Thank you for your comments. That's very helpful! - I didn't make it at all clear what the objective was. The idea is pretty much to avoid getting spotted at all and escape the facility, by using bananas to distract guards, and staying hidden (using the plants) from enemy line of sight. But I did not make that clear at all, so big lesson learned!

No not really -- not your fault at all. I kinda ran out of time. The only thing mentioned is that the guards love bananas. (that little info crate at the beginning) But I needed to be more clear about the stealth elements. it's a bit rough around the edges, but for the most part, you use the bushes to stay hidden, drop a banana in their line of sight (most of the time it can be in a bush as long as its within their radius), and they'll eat it, then you attack.
Lesson learned!! Thanks for the feedback and I look forward to playing yours!
Ah yeah I needed to make that clearer! It's basically a stealth game. If you get "spotted" the enemies will all come and shoot you. You can use the bushes to hide in.
If you drop a banana within a certain radius, the guards will stop patrolling and eat the banana. You can drop it in the bushes for example on the first one as long as its close enough. When you're in the bushes the guards won't see you. And then when they're eating you can hit X a few times to kill em. I might add some descriptions to the game so its more clear, thanks for letting me know!
Nice job. Very cool art and music and I liked the concept with the boxes etc. For the time given you did a really good job and I'm sure with some extra time you could have fleshed out a lot more (like some things to fill out the levels etc, and the transitions). Still -- only so much you can do during a jam as short as this one, so congrats, I enjoyed it very much
I love the intro and how you set it up with the tutorial etc - those nice touches can really enhance the experience. I think the level is a bit hard, feels like it gets pretty crazy very quickly so that may be something to consider. Love the pickups and gems, and the big Nuke attack is suppper satisfying!
Wow this is great. Loved your camera setups...great creepy atmosphere and some twisty characters there, I liked that! nice touches like how the guy with the car was a ghost. For me I'm not crazy about the way the character is controlled but thats just a preference thing and I think it suits the style of game. In any case -- I loved this. Great work. And super cool retro feel.
It's not that strict of a theme. It's more just like, use it as inspiration and if it goes off the wall a bit then that's fine. The word "Sacrifice" could be taken in many other ways, for example you could use "Halloween" elements (pumpkins, etc), but then you could interpret the sacrifice as something other than like a ritual sacrifice. With that in mind you could quite easily use the Halloween theme and make it fun, bright, etc. I don't think anybody is going to score you low because it's not scary or doesn't have a ritual scene. It's really just a springboard to get you going.
