I like the difficulty of the game, even though it took me a few attempts to understand the game mechanics. Out of pure curiosity, is it possible to collect all the collectables and reach the goal? I always failed at the second last cam or the two faster swinging ones before.
as far as i know, no one in our group managed to collect everything and finish the game either, so it’s fair to say it’s nearly impossible! the more you collect, the more attention you draw from the cameras and guards, making it ultra-hard to reach the end with everything , you just have to sacrifice a few collectibles to survive lol :/ Thanks for playing and commenting!
Hi, thanks for the feedback!
It is possible to collect every collectable except for 2 diamonds. We didnt have time to test a lot before the deadline, otherwise i wouldve removed 2 of the diamonds or changed the second-to-last camera, which is impossible with all the diamonds.
It is not clear how the detection mechanic actually works. Staying away from them altogether isn't an option. Also, do the guards actually do something, besides when you run into them? They seem to be wearing blinders. If all of that was more clear, you would have a nice game on your hand.
well the guards only hear the noise that hard disks make, which we try to visualize it with the blue circle, so the blue circle shows the hard disk noise. If a guard enters the circle, they detect you. - i do understand that the instructions are not clear cuz there is basically none lol, thanks for the comment tho , glad you think its a good game otherwise :))
I love the idea, but it's really hard to understand how the cameras work
yea :( sorry it wasnt that clear, basically when you collect a diamond it reflects light from time to time ( which is shown by the white circle) so if the camera catches you while the white circle is active, you get caught, that was the idea
It is a bit too hard to avoid the cameras, but I like the idea of a lout encumbered thief,
lol glad you enjoyed!
