Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarise your game!
You play as a spy, with one job, to steal the cure for the poor. Run, jump, and roll to stealthily avoid enemy sight and infiltrate the biological laboratory where the cure for a deadly virus is being developed. Just make sure your mission aligns with your motivations...

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The player is a weapon against a deadly virus, a spy tasked to retrieve the cure for the poor like Robin Hood. Spoilers: there is a twist ending.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
The overall experience, we hope you have fun :)

We apologise for an issue that has occured with submitting your rating. Your judge's review is pasted below:

I really enjoyed the game and the level design. The art and music fit together perfectly. The controls are easy and intuitive. The fact that you end up blowing the facility in the end was a nice plot twist. I liked the design of the enemies and obstacles in the way.
Thank you for your entry to the Game Jam!

very cool game, the art style works really well and all the checkpoints feel well placed. also love the twist ending

Developer

Thank you so much :))

Great game! The level design is super tight. I really appreciate how the cycles work out with respawn points. There's never a ton of waiting you need to do in order to re-attempt whatever you messed up.

I love the art and sound design.

The little twist at the end was nice haha.

Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like this game. The graphics are perfect. I love the commitment to minimal palette sprites. The way the colours were used to make everything pop was great. I found the one section with the hallway of floor tiles that open up particularly challenging because it seemed like the floor opened as soon as you touched it, but it only opens after you jump off it again.

Developer

Thank you so much! The pixel art dog profile picture you have is very cute :))

Thanks, the dog is based on my dog IRL and she’s the star of my game: The Sadie Game. Unfortunately, there was a glitch in the upload and her idle sprite disappeared. Please play For The Kingdom!…? If you have a spare moment :)

This was a treat. I like the retro aesthetics and the stealth game play :)

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Really cool and well polished game, liked the ending! Nice job on the line of sight mechanics also, they worked super well!

I did come across a bug where the sound would reset to max volume after reading notes, jump scared me a few times hahaha

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the bug report, we'll try and hunt that down and push a patch after the jam rating period is over.

That was amazing! The top down platforming felt so smooth and satisfying to play around with, although it would have felt a lot more natural for me if I was able to play it with controller! This game was amazing! Also getting all the hidden notes was a nice additional challenge to hint at the ending... 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)) I definitely agree, controller support would have been nice to have

Submitted(+2)

That was a really good and simple game. It could have used more juice, but it has a very solid framework. I loved the simple art style and use of colors. I was curious where the theme would come into play, since you spend the whole time avoiding things. Well done, indeed!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play our submission :))

Cool level design and story telling! Very Atari era style, from the graphics to the music and SFX, which I loved. Everything controlled pretty nice, the only bit of frustration was getting the handle on the swamp sections? But that's a skill issue. Game felt polished and all the mechanics felt good to play in. Solid submission.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! The swamp section is certainly difficult but we're glad you made it through :)

awesome level design with different areas and a complete story!!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our submission!

Damn what a plot twist ! Very nice game, polished, good looking and funny. I enjoyed it until the end, very nice job !

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Great game. The stealth mechanics are great. The enemies behavior patterns are all unique but easy to learn, and traversing the various environments was fun. I like the artstyle as well. I was initially annoyed by that guy constantly berating me for dying, but the ending twist recontextualized everything. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Haha glad you liked it! We took inspiration from the Prince of Persia, Shadow Man character. You get to hating Rogan by the end of the game which is fitting for the plot twist :))

Very cool, got all the way to the end. Cool retyo style with a good story.

Thanks for the comment :)

Super awesome game! Art is great, music/sound is great, gameplay feels very good. Overall the game feels very "complete" as is. I made it all the way to the end and would have kept going if it was longer. Very fun, great work!

Developer

Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback!

Really great job!! This is so polished and I love the whole aesthetic. Puzzles were really fun and I really love how tight the movement feels. Super fun to play!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Wow! This was really great "full release" game. I really did enjoy it and have a feeling that "I completed a game". Kudos for that. In general, the game is really well executed with nice art, dialogs and love the portraits. Movement felt great, puzzles were interesting. I absolutely have no comments on improving because I think its a nice, polished game which has clear goal, progression & finale. I liked your take on the theme and that  you explicitly mentioned that during the dialogs :D Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Pleased to hear that you liked it!

Submitted(+2)

Fun game! I enjoyed the way the mechanics were slowly introduced and the forgiving nature of the checkpoints. Kept itself fresh and interesting the whole way with some decent difficulty at parts. Very well made complete package

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed! It means a lot to us!

Visually cohesive with great art and design the whole way through. Great level design. Forgiving spawn points. Good feeling controls and movement. Amazing job!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the experience :))
