Hide-n-Stab was made using the Haxe programming language and OpenFL with the HaxePunk game engine. Graphics were done using Inkscape and Spine for animation. Whew! I need a nap, but I'll post more of a technical writeup later :)
This was a lot of fun to play! Its awesome to be hiding and then BOOM pop out of hiding and nailing someone in the back. :D
That's a great idea, and it was pretty fun to play. But the movement is very glitchy/laggy! Curious what happens if there are no other humans online.
I ran around stabbing everyone but couldn't find any real people. It would be nice to indicate the number of people online.
Thanks everyone. At the moment, if there are no other players, there's not much to do - if you don't see any, see if you can draft a friend into playing with you to get the full experience. I'd wanted to add some bots for when no players are online, but that's something I couldn't get to in 48 hours. I'm also going to work on mitigating the lag. It plays pretty smoothly on my desktop, but my laptop seems to stutter a bit more.
If the movement wasn't so buggy this would easily be 5/5 for everything. It's so awesome, but the movement is to buggy to play ;/
I made a small bug fix and the lag is now greatly reduced on my laptop (which has a really terrible network card) so hopefully people will have fewer problems from now on.
Really cool idea. I wish there were more people to play against, since it's hard to get a feel for the game when playing alone. I like how everyone plays in the same room. Is there a player limit? I wonder what would happen if a lot of players joined at once.
Pretty cool. Reminds me of Spy Party or Assassin's Creed. Good job!
Awesome! You ought to put this up on a server with some more bandwidth; there's a bit of lag.
Player animation is good. Concept isn't new really, but I haven't seen it done on a large scale multiplayer capacity like this before!
Awesome! You ought to put this up on a server with some more bandwidth; there's a bit of lag. Still quite fun, and there seem to be a lot of people playing; congrats!

I was killed twice and then all the NPC sprites seemed to stop moving (or they were walking in place at the edges).
Nice idea and interpretation of the theme!
I really liked the animation of the characters, especially when they fell apart. I hit a few bugs with movement, and also it seemed that none of the guys I stabbed were real! Glad this is the direction you went for the theme.
Hm, no real people to stab...
Great concept, too bad it's hard to find someone who plays at the same time as you. I guess that's the problem when you do multiplayer for a Ludum Dare... Still, fits perfectly the theme, very original.
Imagine my surprise when a figure I thought was an AI turned around and stabbed me.
fantastic
funny idea!
Pretty fun! I was killed twice :< Controls are a bit hard.
That was a little multiplayer game. Good job!
Very good, remembers me of Assassin's Creed.
It's rare to see a multiplayer game in LD and even rarer to see a good one.
super idea! well done (- : had fun!
Gave it another try when I saw it on Hacker News... congratulations on 70+ simultaneous players! Unfortunately, the controls weren't working for me this time, I just stuttered in place.
Nice use of the theme.
It was actually quite fun, trying to back stab other players. =D
This is fun, please fix the bugs so I can play more.
I would vote if I could but "Voting is only available to participants.".
Please will you explain how to build it and its requirements on github?
Really fun concept! The AI does a great job of acting suspicious. High score: 14, but I might come back for more later :)
Frozen on spawn, "80 players online", please restart server at least.
A pity, there are no players online. Still a good idea, hope you'll develop the game and bring some more people to the game in the future, so the server will be more alive.
I couldn't connect and guess I came to this too late for players anyway, but I just wanted to say I love the concept and the visuals are nice :)
Very cool pvp game! Played about an hour with 10 people online and had lots of funny moments. Kudos for using haxe as well!
This was a really cool game. I enjoyed the hide and seek aspect. Using bots was a good idea since you can't guarantee the number of people online. Cool idea.
