How does the game fit the theme?
You are hunting your target but are also being hunted by a disguised attacker that blends into the crowd just like you
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything from scratch, got the carpal tunnel to prove it lol
How many people worked on the game?1

really cool and it does remind me of ac brotherhood too. i wasn't sure if there was actually a way to blend in? it seemed like you just got killed if you passed the killer no matter what. there could be some cool mechanics like trying to walk at the same speed as other people or blending into a crowd etc. regardless it's cool you made this in a week and its really well done! i love the music especially, it creates a cool vibe
Thanks very much, glad you had fun!! Enemies have a compass on you just like yours so they can hunt you like you hunt your targets. The challenge comes from trying to get your target while evading them and deciding which is more valuable :D
Really want to turn it into a multiplayer game soon! Would be very fun to have multiple people in a larger stage hunting each other!! Stay posted
ah okay yeah that's cool! i remember playing an assassins creed mobile game that was multiplayer and a similar concept. you could blend in by walking the same way npcs would so you'd have to do that to blend in and not be seen by your opponent which was cool.
For sure! That's a feature that HAS to be in the full version
picking a disguise and then losing yourself in a floor full of the exact same jesters and top hats while a portrait tells you who to hunt is a great little ac brotherhood throwback, and the sprite work sells it. one week solo with everything from scratch is impressive, nice work
Thanks!! <3 Was hoping to bump into some people who also played AC: Brotherhood back in the day, that's awesome!!
Glad you had fun. I want to develop it further into a proper multiplayer so I might reach out to folks from here to do some Alpha testing. Thanks again for playing!
I feel like running is not punished at all, even though it says it's supposed to make you more obvious to the people hunting you. Otherwise, I liked the spritework a lot, as well as the music/SFX. The gameplay functioned just as expected aside from my previously mentioned gripe.
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it! Running puts your attacker into "high alert" where they will begin to sprint at you so watch out!! :3 Going to hopefully develop it further into a proper multiplayer so stay posted!
It works very well. I end up challenging myself to try kill all targets without any death.
I wish it had a way to detect the chasers. I always end up killing a target and a random person sprint to kill me in return.
Glad you had fun, thanks especially for replaying, thats awesome!! I can give you a secret tip :D Listen for your heartbeat to hear when your attacker is near <3
Hoping to make it into a proper multiplayer game with multiple stages soon so stay posted!
Fun concept and a good take on the theme! The spritework is very nicely done too. The running seems a little op however that is nothing that cant be easily fixed. Overall i enjoyed your game a fair bit.
Thanks!! Glad you really liked it! It's going to be a multiplayer game soon so stay posted!
Art, animations, music was good. It's a simple game, but fits the theme.
Are the characters cosmetic or are they different in any way?
Walking doesn't seem to make the enemies less aware. Is it a bug?
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Characters are purely cosmetic yes, enemies have a compass on you just like yours so they can hunt you like you hunt your targets. The challenge comes from trying to get your target while evading them and deciding which is more valuable
Really want to turn it into a multiplayer game soon! Would be very fun to have multiple people in a larger stage hunting each other!! Stay posted
I really loved the art and sound design. It also had a bit of a spooky feeling to it. Overall, it was great!
Thanks so much! Put everything I had into art and music so really appreciate that!
wonderful game!
Thank you very much! <3
I loved the visuals and the gameplay was really fun. Very cute game!
Thank you! I'm glad you had such a good time with it! Cheers!!
Very fun little thematic game, great job! My only complain is the keys you use, not very intuitive for someone who plays lots of games but the rest is nice!
Yeah definitely tried to make sure the controls would be somewhat universal / easy for a wide range of people with all different skill levels and computer setups. Really glad you enjoyed it!! :D
Kept thinking about this - it was one of those deadline hindsight things. Having shift for run and e and enter for attack would have probably covered all bases. One of those things we're here to learn though!
Very thematic! Great job!
Thank you! Thought the crowd with a hunter in it was at least fairly close!
Pretty cool. Loved the aesthetic and audio. Pretty simple concept and fits the theme. Good job!
Thanks! Tried to put everything into this one!
Strong nostalgia on this one!
Right! That's great to hear! I really want to make it a proper multiplayer with multiplate stages and bring back that fun mulitplayer
That was fun! love the music and style!
Thank you so much, definitely put most of my time into those!
Very cool game! Simple, fits the theme well, has clear instructions; works really well with the theme as well!
Thank you thats super nice! Thanks for trying it out!!
Really enjoyable! I was a little confused during my first playthrough because I didn't understand why I was losing. Good job!
Thanks for giving it a go! Glad you enjoyed <3
fun game! Sinple but interesting! Reminded me a little of Secret Neighbor, love your style, amazing!
Thank you so much! Had a blast making it, glad you had fun!
Fun game and fits the theme well. It reminded me a little of Secret Neighbor or Spy Party.
Thank you!! Hoping to make it multiplayer soon!
I do like the audio in this one and the graphics was nice too. I’m still uncertain of why there was character selection, why I got frozen in place after the kills and why the character wasn’t always running. But it was a nice experience running after and finding your targets. I guess I would have liked too some better reasons for returning and trying the game again, like a best score/speed or something like that.
