Figuring how the game works is part of the fun!
I'm kidding, besides having no instructions whatsoever (I started bashing keys after my first death. I even thought I would have to close the game to keep playing!) you created a pretty slick mechanic.
Great game, congrats!

Not alot of variation, a bit repetitive. Cool that it's a 3d game tough. No sound at all? The orange teddy bear is the silent-killer-agent-boss.

Oops - I really should document the respawn key, shouldn't I? :) Pure oversight on my part. (It's spacebar when dead, or R at any time.)

Yeah, ran out of time to add audio unfortunately. I also wanted to add tutorial text, and effects to provide better feedback on enemy state. And the AI logic could use some tweaking. Still, I'm happy with what I managed to get done in the extra-constrained time I had available (fitting around work).

Thanks both!

Didn't quite understand what was going on.

It's an interesting mechanic, but it's a bit repetitive since not much thought is required to pass through the levels.

Decently done, this has a potential for a younger audience game. Very cute if not lacking animation. Not a lot of variety and the walls are too high. Camera may get a little frustrating zooming and jumping by itself.

The camera going back and forth all the time is a real problem.
I feel dumb but I'm totally stuck on the level I'm on. (think it's 4 or 5). There's a bear in the corner of a room with a diagonal, two ways to enter the room and LOTS of ways to die ;). It seems like there's only so many things I can try and none of them work. It doesn't really help that the only interaction or feedback I get from the other bear is (camera pan,"exclamation point," camera pan, [be shot by invisible bullets now?])

Nice idea that takes of spy games, a bit too easy to get in a fix

I really didn't like the camera jumping around to point out orange bears, but besides that this is a nice game overall.

@Jedi
What you probably didn't notice is that when an orange bear sees you, he gets a question mark over his head. In your next move, if he still sees you, he has an exclamation mark over him. On the next move - if he still sees you, you'll die. If he doesn't see you, he will try to follow you. You need to use this following mechanic to your advantage.

The game is almost too simple when you know that, but no ingame instructions and explaining the rules whatsoever makes it unnecessarily difficult. Graphics are fine, although camera movement needs some tweaking. This could be a nice puzzle game for kids.

The camera movement doesn't allow me to enjoy this game is I ought to. The graphics are cure, though, but I am afraid that without music is lacking some entertainment.
