The idea is good, but I would've liked it better if instead of ending the game as soon as a guard saw me, I would've had an opportunity to outrun them, only failing when they actually catch me.

Nice game, but it is annoying that it ends as soon as your seen.
I like the idea of escaping, but I wish there was an easy way to start over when you get caught. Also the collision detection seems a bit strange.
Collisions seem a bit off and it could do with some warning of when the guards are about to turn to give you a chance to hide.
In escape games with guards, the only way to make it really playable is to have guards walk fixed paths with perhaps a few random pauses etc. Because their paths are completely random here it becomes essentially unfair to the player. Also, a guard saw me through a wall.
The idea of game is good, but the collision and the path to escape need to be improved. Good work, cool game!
Cool idea, but tiling system is horrible and guards move way too slow to enjoy the game.
Like the concept. Couldn't get past guard, or I was too close to him. I also had to quit and restart application to restart game.
I think having a field of view indication would be extremely helpful, as the guards had really wide vision. The guards also moved pretty slow and could occasionally see me through a wall (in an opened cell). As others have said, ending the game when you are detected was a bit annoying. A simple restart upon failure would have been immensely better. Well done overall and good luck on future submissions.
