I really like the graphics and this stealth type of gameplay, where you need to take out targets and guards.
For me the controls are a bit rough though, first changing tools with F, and shooting with E is a bit unusal (why not use mouse button and mouse wheel for these functions) and second, movement with wasd a is difficult for me as well as I am lefthanded, (I play with arrow keys normally)
I'm glad you liked it! The controls are definitely something I need to fix after the jam is over, and I'll make sure to add in those arrow keys for a fellow left-hander.
I really like the mix of 2D and 3D art styles — it works surprisingly well together. In level 2, my lungs kept draining and I honestly didn’t understand why. I think I am supposed to rush toward the end.
Thank you! As for level 2, whenever it plays a little beep sound effect and the lungs flash yellow, you have to press R to regain the oxygen you are slowly losing (losing all of it restarts the level).
Great work, especially for so little time spent making it! I liked the cake easter egg. The controls were a bit clunky (I didn't really find a good reason why it would deviate from the "commonly accepted" scroll wheel or 1/2/3 selection) and unfortunately I had some issues keeping my mouse attached to the game (which made me pull up my bookmarks if looking too far left). But very impressed regardless. The second level was a bit confusing for me, I pressed R (or I thought I did?) but it didn't allow me to complete the level. But I'm gonna assume that's on me haha.
Thanks, the time constraint was a bit daunting. I never really thought about the inventory after I set it to F, the mouse attachment is an issue I'm hearing about for the first time and I'll look into it. You have to press R to breathe whenever the lungs flash yellow, pressing it late will cause you to lose oxygen. As for finishing the level, take out the target, pick up the body with E, stand next to the door, and press E to open it to go to the next level. My tutorial this time around was lackluster and the controls are a bit confusing, sorry.
Nice work, I got stuck at the keycard part but the game is still fun. Love the artstyle and it's just kind of a funny game in general. Thank you for the Portal reference
The game is a little unclear there. Pick up the target's body after you shoot him with E, then use E on the door (when standing right next to it) to progress. Glad you liked the art style and game idea. Indeed, my love for Portal is still alive.
Nice job, the controls had me messed up at first but once I got that figured out I came to really liking the pixelated art style. Keep up the good work.
I'll make sure to fix up the controls after this. Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you liked the art!
The controls issue may be an issue on my side of things on the browser as your game is not the only game that gave me issues with my mouse.
-Edit: I would download but I am on linux.
This game was lots of fun, but I’m bad at it so I got hard stopped on level 2. I didn’t understand what was going on with the lungs, and rushing into things over and over just wasn’t working for me.
The controls are not great, but the core of the game is really good. Add in some music, and I’ll definitely come back.
Loved the secret in the first level, always got shot before seeing it in the second level.
Well done!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed what you could, and I know the difficulty is a little whack.
The "lungs" are a breathing mechanic, every second or so they will flash yellow and there will be an "R" in the corner to indicate that you must take in a breath with the R key, because you are slowly losing oxygen.
I wish I had added little popup menus to describe the mechanics, but oh well.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the core of the game! Sadly music couldn't be made fast enough.
