This is one of my very favorites so far! the sprites and sounds are lovely and the gameplay loop is very well thought out and balanced. Great game!
Thank you! The loop went through many iterations and had to be nerfed significantly because it was ridiculously hard at first.
cool game .first time ? you are talented
Thank you. I've been wanting to make games for a long time and this was a brilliant opportunity. I'm glad you liked it.
This is a great game especially for a first. 10/10
One tip though make an easier way to leave the game at the end or any point of the game.
Also, don't know if it's a bug or not but when my stuff was confiscated it still was there.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll see if I can recreate that scenario of the items being in your inventory after they were confiscated.
No they were in my cell not inventory sorry for the confushon.
I think I found out why that's happening. The option to put items in the hole was added later as a way to make the game easier, and I think I just forgot to update that item slot after the cell inspection. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll make sure to update after the voting has finished.
I found myself really invested in this honestly!
I liked learning the routine and figuring out what I needed next to progress, I lost my parachute twice but I wasn't annoyed or frustrated because it meant everything else I stored would be fine, so I generally liked the balance of how many items I could keep with the three hidden cell slots but only one cell inspection per week. (I must've stabbed around 20 guards though I hope they're okay...) The style is also very clean and I liked the challenge, It took me 70 days! (That may or may not be higher than the average...)
[Edit: I forgot to mention that I really liked the sound design, It was pretty immersive!]
Overall I have no complaints there was clearly a lot of effort put into this and I might actually play it again sometime to beat it faster! Great work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play this! I was very concerned about the game being too easy when coming to the end of making it (I had made several nerfs because it was initially borderline impossible), so I'm glad you found it to be a good challenge. This comment has made my day, thank you!
very cute, old style i like it ^^
I'm glad you liked the art style I went for, even though I made it intentionally ridiculous and minimalistic.
