I really enjoyed it, I was hooked for quite a while xD. It’s pretty addictive! Great job!

Developer

Its a nice idea but the UI kind of gives AI vibes but I dont really think its AI. Also the game is actually really fun and the Stop Right There voice line is really cool to lol. I played for a solid 20 minutes. Really good job!

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing!

To be clear it is just JS app where background is procedurally generated from graph (intersections = nodes and street = edges, plus Kruskal's and Dijkstra's algos are used to set patrols and check passability), it is drawn on PixiJS primitives (boxes, straight lines for streets and some random 'noise' lines to avoid just gray-boxes); 

The characters are also generated but using this tool https://github.com/liberatedpixelcup/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator,  so they do look 'synthetic' but as I know their generator is not ai-based (my failure if it is and I did not noticed it) unlike lets say https://pixie.haus/ where they really look as ai generated (and ther are lol);

Sprites and sounds are also just found on free sources

Yes, I can agree it might look like AI because we stuck on limited dark color palitra but unfortunately we did not come up with anything more suitale for night city atmosphere haha

(to be honest we did use ai help in some unobvious ingame math and for graph polishing because auto generation was the totally new experience for us, but I do not thing it would surprise anyone today)

(ps: sorry for such longread)

Cool idea with being a courier at night and having to ask informants for the route while dodging patrols. The fog of war / line of sight stuff makes it feel tense, even if district 3 felt a bit rough and I got boxed in a couple times haha. Still, nice jam entry and I liked the vibe :) STOP RIGHT THERE!

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback!! Glad if you enjoyed sounds haha

I liked the way routing worked, it would've been nice if it showed the police or whatever they were on that route once you bought it, graphics aren't the best but they get the point across, i didn't like the audio that much, it felt like most of the sound and graphic assets used here didn't fit together well, but still i liked the way the paths work it was a pretty nice idea

Developer

Thank you for playing and feedback! Yea, graphics/sound do not have any common style at all and there is really no idea 'what setting is it'

The line of sight and fog of war mechanics are neat! I felt like I always got spawn camped at the start of district 3, but luckily you can run around the little dudes trying to hunt you.

Developer

Thanks for playing! District 3 became kinda more random than others

Good work! I kinda just ran through the third level though, seems like there could be a little more dev into the gameplay tension.

Developer

Thank you! Level procedural generation has many issues (especially 3rd one), should have added some graph's tests on passability...

gives ai vibes

Developer

Developer

Thanks for playing! I hope we will be able to polish it a bit ^^
