Got some feedback that the controls are a bit confusing. Here's a bit more in depth explanation:
a/d to move left/right
w to jump
z to switch between Doc and Cat
Space bar to interact with signs and levers and vaults.
Gadget 1 is hands: click on boxes to pick them up. You have to be close to them. Click again to drop it.
Gadget 2 is freeze ray: Hit people to freeze them in place.
Gadget 3 is portals: Left click is exit, Right click is entrance.
Be careful not to get the doctor trapped in level 2!
switching led to some interesting puzzle solving. Only one of them has to reach the door though in order to get through, so that felt a bit weird. some of the people look zombie-ish?
I didn't even realize that was possible, I tried to avoid getting letting you get stuck until level 4.
I forgot to mention there is a pause menu, by pressing Escape. You can restart the level or return to the main menu for Level Select from there.
Yes, just Doc has to get to the vaults, cats can't open doors.
And yes, some of the guys are zombies -- a representation of how I felt when I was making those sprites.
Controls stutter a bit, but otherwise a charming and fun game. Nice switching mechanic!
Wow, there's, uh, a lot going on in this game. There were lots of buttons, and I feel like I was going all over the keyboard and mouse buttons to do stuff. Music was good for the first few minutes, but it got really repetitive toward the end of the game. I'm looking forward to the next version!
Had a nice feel to it. Transporters pissed me off so much - kept mixing up the left/right click red/green. Cat was fun to control.
I liked it! Reminded me of the Lost Vikings. It didn't take long for me to get a hang of the controls and I liked how far you took the core mechanic.
However, I tried putting both portals on top of each other and I ended up hearing a terrible noise. Maybe make a check to see if the other portal isn't right on top of it and deny deployment?
Otherwise, I found it very enjoyable!
I like this game. There's a lot of content. The levels are interesting along with the different items.
Good job
There's too much going on with the controls, they aren't smooth. E.g. hitting space to close the textbox i just opened with space would make so much more sense.
I don't feel the evil rising in me, maybe it's the lack of display of the gold I've stolen so far, or the lack of any sign of danger. how about police cars arriving outside after a while, making their way through and hunting me. just 1 * for the theme. The puzzles though are great fun.
I think I got the doctor trapped...if that's the idea of the game, then that's ingenious! Never would I have expected the cat as the double-crossing villain!
An interesting approach :) Fun game.
i really liked this one, the concept is great,but is a bit buggy. Luck with the compo
Seems to be using WASD without keysym conversion, so even when I tell my OS to temporarily switch my keyoard layout to QWERTY is still acts as though it is Dvorak. Makes gameplay basically impossible for me.
Maybe support arrow keys?
Also, as I walk I fall through the floor and can't get back up? Seems like a bug.
Very nice game! Had fun
Excellent game, with stellar level design. A little rough around the edges, but such is the norm.
Sing: I'm sorry to hear about your input trouble, I hadn't thought about alternate keyboard layouts -- next time I will!
Where are you falling through the floor? There are issues with doors closing on you and pushing you out of the level, but other than that I never encountered it.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words
This looked really interesting and fun but there were to many unpredictable collision bugs : the cat or the scientist suddenly teleports outside of the map making it impossible to complet the level. I couldn't go further than level 2 after 5 or 6 tries. Frustrating. I'd love to play a fixed version though.
Extremely clever and competent puzzle platformer.
Lots of content for a 48h game !
Fun game, I liked it :)
