Ahhhhh!!!!! I loved this one so much - I'd be delighted if y'all were ever able to add more levels. The lawmen were horrifying both in design and in their mechanics which is always wonderful to see. Seriously, amazing work!

An amazing puzzle game with simple, but well used mechanics!
Definitely a reccomendation from me

Great submission, very impressed. I really like the art and animations in particular. The gentle introduction is a good tutorial. Felt very complete!

Really fun and really clever, tone and aesthetic are great too! I'd play it digitally or as a board game.

This was just incredible all around. Art and animation, sound design, gameplay, idea, universe. Really awesome, congratulations on the team.

I'm going to echo the rest of the comments and say that this game is really amazing, super fun, strategic and amazing pixel art! Only thing I was hoping for was an undo button that could bring the characters back to their previous rooms (sometimes I placed them in the wrong room or I want to change my strategy)

Thank you! An undo button is definitely a good idea, wish we'd had time to include one.

It really gave the feeling of a heist, the tension in some situations were crazy, but somehow managing to get out afterwards was even crazier!

Crazy good game, I'd be curious to hear your inspiration for this one. It plays a bit like a board game, reminds me of Zombicide.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I was mostly inspired by Avianos from UFO50, even though that's a pretty different type of game. I just really like the board gamey-ness of it.

I think you did a great job on the game. I really liked the cut scenes and credits.

Cool game! great art

Wow this was thrilling! Trying to get in and out of it quick and getting chased by the hunters was really cool! I really had fun with this game! Good job :)

Really cool idea and execution.

Really impressive entry! A really neat gameplay idea with cool music. The combat scenes are also very sweet.

I struggled a little bit with how to use the key on the door but eventually figured it out.

If I had one complaint it would be the size of the sprites - it makes it a little hard to discern things as a first time player.

Really fun, in particular I loved the attack animation that appeared when killing a guard!  Music was great too.

Submitted(+1)

It took a bit to get how to use an item, but I think it was my "fault", I tried and had no idea how to use the key, until I have read the text below. The pixel art looks very great though and once I figured it out it was quite some fun too.

Developer

Yeah, the way to use items is a little hard to get, so I'm at least relieved that the tutorial level did its job. Thanks!

The game was really fun to play, but i don't know if it's intentionnal but you can completly cheese the game by waiting for the bounty hunter to come to you, and always moving all your team together. Anyways, nice project, congrats, it looks good and the music is on point

Developer

True, you can sometimes cheese that way, though it can still get you into trouble on the last few levels. If we made a bigger game out of this I'd probably add more types of obstacles/enemies so that grouping was less reliable. Thanks for playing!
