Some of the npc's movements were a bit weird. Liked the game a lot thou. Nice graphics and animations!

diptoman 2013-12-17 17:56

A full 5/5 from me!
Great use of the theme to create something like this! My only (two) complaints would be that the movement is a bit slow, and some of the inmates acted buggy when I got near them (and it's rather weird that they don't escape even after a door is opened).
But overall, brilliant!

Thanks for the feedback: We didn`t have time for npc movement and the dialogues. We want to work in the game to improve it, if the feedback is good ;-)

coblynau 2013-12-17 19:01

The music and sound effects were well chosen and really helped set the mood, good job. :)

lexgarza 2013-12-17 19:23

A guard suddenly started spinning and kept there XD, but the game was great :D. The only thing that would have helped a lot was a mini map, i got lost a lot XD

skysthelimit 2013-12-17 20:06

Its just a little too slow paced for me. I can see what you are trying to achieve and you did really pull it off though! Audio was great, and the mood is fitting.

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 20:26

Great game overall :)

Love the idea, but the NPC scripting is a bit buggy, since I got sighted and the guard tracked my Thief even though my Siren was the one who was spotted. He got stuck at a corner (Thief was hiding behind a wall) and from then on no guards cared about me, so I got all the rest of the characters until I needed the Thief, then tried to handcuff the guard and failed miserably :(

Going to give it a second round before I rate it completely :D

javifugitivo 2013-12-17 20:37

Thanks kalth.streil and skysthelimit and LexGarza for the feedback. We know that the guardas are buggy, it was the main headache of the development, and we ran out of time to complete better the game. In a very possible remake, we will improve the AI.

Please, if you like the concept of the game, spread the word and we will have more resources to do the remake ;-)

Wow graphics were amazing. Really like it. Just guard movement was little bit off

mekuri 2013-12-17 21:59

Good graphics, and decent animations. A few bugs here and there, and the guards didn't react to me at all. I could easily see this game become a fully developed game, there's some nice potential there.

javifugitivo 2013-12-17 22:04

Thanks tiffi_gaming and Mekuri! I think that we believe the same, in a few weeks we will study the posibility of a remake with more options and levels! Thanks for your feedback!

atomicvikings 2013-12-17 22:24

WOW I am so happy to klick on this game. Its awesome. Thank you for sharing this. The Arts are realy cool! It's raining stars for you guys ^^

hellblazer 2013-12-17 22:25

Very cool idea, lots of potential for development there. Maybe a kind of top-down The Lost Vikings? :) I wish your characters would move faster though, it's a pain travelling long distances. As it turns out, I also made a top-down stealth-ish game, and I had trouble with the guard AI too, so you're not alone. ;)

piat 2013-12-17 22:26

Nice entry, great idea and visuals. Would have to agree the pacing is a little slow, character switch a bit more like Trine would have kept game play moving a bit smoother.

undonedevs 2013-12-17 22:30

Juego entretenido con un arte bastante chulo, espero figuritas de la espía, jajajaja
Suerte!

javifugitivo 2013-12-17 22:34

Thanks for your feedback HellBlazer and Piat! We will listen that pieces of advice for the remake (faster characters)

Und[0]ne Devs, creo que podríamos mirar algo para una recompensa en el Indiegogo, jejeje Un abrazo!!

venks 2013-12-18 04:20

Im also not a huge fan of the movement or AI. Really interesting take on the theme though.

ludotrix 2013-12-18 10:27

Very cool concept. It seemed to guards didn't always detect properly. Also it is easy to trap them in a corner.

glovecat 2013-12-18 11:27

Algún fallillo con los policías que se quedan girando en las esquinas y los protas se mueven algo lento, pero ya lo tienes bien contemplado para un remake. Pero por lo demás buenos gráficos y música y bien pensadas las habilidades

zhrack 2013-12-18 18:32

Very nice entry! I liked it!

psychomonster 2013-12-18 21:10

Woe this is a clever and well designed game. Like the smooth gameplay and the nice puzzle elements. Cool Game1

javifugitivo 2013-12-18 23:15

Thanks for the feedback Venks, ludotrix, glovecat and Zhrack. Today I have worked in fix a bug with the end of stage: Now is fully enjoyable and you can pass the level! The guards have been fixed too (I think that was a crucial fix to feel the complete experience.) They aren't perfect, but they do something ;-)

scoopsy 2013-12-19 01:21

Looks neat - I'm on OSX though so I can't give it a try.

javifugitivo 2013-12-19 01:25

Sorry men! We try to get a OSX version soon!

mrtedders 2013-12-19 02:09

Smart game you have here. Love the art, very stylized

several 2013-12-19 02:14

I can't play a Windows-only game, but I can coo at the graphics.

scipio-xaos 2013-12-19 02:21

Hmm.. I get an error when trying to run the game. A "cabinet is not valid" error. Then again, I am trying to run it in WINE. :P Oh well. It looked interesting.

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-19 02:34

So very very well designed! I loved the different powers, loved the different character designs, and had a lot of fun, and some adrenaline when I was being chased. I know I'm asking for a lot, but could the enemies have a way to detect you even when you're no longer in their Line Of Sight? For example, a guard was following me, and I turned a corner and then he forgot about me. This is fantastic for me, because I'm safe, but I could do with the game being a little more unforgiving :) Top marks though, this is a fantastic entry!

endesga 2013-12-19 04:07

Heh-hey! This is pretty awesome!
The characters move a tad slow but, it's really fun!
Very nice!

javifugitivo 2013-12-19 09:17

Thanks Mrtedders, Several, Scipio Xaos, Christina Antoinette Neofotistou and EDESGA for the feedback.

Christina, thanks for the pieces of advice. Now it's impossible to solve this, because we would have to make the AI again, but I promise better AI in the remake and faster characters ;-)

ointment 2013-12-19 12:29

I appreciate the thought that went to this, Metroidvania-style level design is always fun. My biggest nuisance was the music, which sounds somewhat derpy with all those hard chord changes.

jaymeemak 2013-12-19 20:12

Can't play, mac

local-minimum 2013-12-19 21:25

I think this game could become something with time. As I read the narration suspense is quite vital -- the player needs to be scared of the guards and the cameras. Sneak, hide, pick locks and blow stuff up. As it stands now the NPCs are too simple to lure into a wall to make it fully enjoyable. Nothing a little more dev can't fix, and as you say you want to continue, I'd say that's where your effort will pay off the most the fastest.

rnlf 2013-12-20 19:45

Sweet. Really nice visuals and gameplay. Wanted to play this one all week but only now had the time to sit down at my windows machine and play it.

brmassa 2013-12-20 22:23

good game man. there are some issues, but you have yes a good game. congrats.

archaeometrician 2013-12-21 15:42

Wow ! Great game ! Nice idea !

hbocao 2013-12-22 14:32

This is fun and a clever idea too. Very good looking graphics. I just suck and get caught all the time.

techblogogy 2014-01-04 18:39

Great game. What more can I say?
