What a superb submission! The concept is pretty awesome, I just wish there was more to the gamplay itself. I also ran into a couple of sync bugs, but that's the price to be paid for experimenting with something novel like this I guess.
Congratulations! And please do continue to work on it :D I would love to see this up on Google Play sometime!

omarshehta 2015-08-25 10:29

Thank you DalaiLlama! I think there's definitely potential for the gameplay to grow, but we spent so much time trying to get the networking working right (and it still has all these bugs!)

That was really good fun! A really innovative and different game, very refreshing and fun to play! We didn't have any network bugs either. Very well done!

+5 on innovation! Really fun too.

We tried to play but every time I press enter to start the game it reads it as a character.

omarshehta 2015-08-26 10:17

commodoreKid, hmm, that's odd! What browser are you using?

maniulo 2015-08-27 18:25

Fun game! Loved the graphics. Had the same issue with Enter beng treated as a character on Mozilla (worked OK on Chrome).

Like ComodoreKid, I try to play but every time when I press enter to start the game it reads it as a character. I use the last FireFox. Strange ++

omarshehta 2015-08-28 06:57

Thanks for the bug report Geckoo! I updated the game, it should be working on Firefox now. Let me know if you run into anything else!

oh wow this game is an amazing entry! IT rare to find a working multiplayer game as a LD submission, me and my boyfriend play for a while taking turns as the ghost and thief! very fun

fdslk 2015-08-29 11:31

5 out of 5 in everything to me!

francismoy 2015-08-29 11:48

I can't play this :-/ Even if I play enter and my friend is already in, the game just doesn't start!

omarshehta 2015-08-29 11:49

Drunkteam, what browser(s) are you using? Is your friend on a mobile phone? It could just be a connection issue, maybe try refreshing again? (it could be that WebRTC isn't supported on one of the browsers)

I had no choice other than give high ratings for this game, cuz it was quite the submission! Multiplayer, awesome graphics, amazing music, excellent concept? I wasn't ready! :D

jetspydragon 2015-08-29 14:05

Nice graphics, gameplay, idea... overall it's an excelent game!! Good work!!

brianbruggeman 2015-08-29 14:15

Looks really interesting! But, I'm all apple here, so I didn't have a chance to play.

I wish I could have got this game to work, because I think it would have been very fun to play. I tried chrome and firefox, but no dice. Darn it. I did get to move the ghost character around on my Samsung phone, but everything was black. The computer screen was just sitting at the enter your partners code screen.

omarshehta 2015-08-29 16:31

BoyWithAStick, are you on a Windows? What OS exactly? Are your browsers up to date?

magenta 2015-08-29 16:42

Cute graphics with really smooth controls and animation. Odds are possibly slightly against the player - ghost always seem to win :}

loggiant 2015-08-29 16:56

This game is fantastic! It had a couple quirks when I played, namely the ghost's screen would occasionally turn black and not show any terrain. I had no issues running it on my PC, but it would be nice if there was a short delay on the thief/ghost wins screen because usually I was frantically trying to move and accidentally restarted the game immediately.

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

404 not found! D:
Please dude fix it, I want to try this game :D

undef 2015-09-01 18:00

Hey Omar, I'm getting a 404 on your link, please fix it!

omarshehta 2015-09-01 18:20

Sorry about that! Should be fixed now!

Cyberwiz 2015-09-01 18:49

Wow what a really cool game you guys made here. It was a bit touch and go on the performance side if the device is quite old, but it seems it can be lots of fun!

undef 2015-09-01 18:56

Nice graphics, great music, great idea, but I can't seem to kill the ghost (lamp didn't seem to work).

omarshehta 2015-09-01 19:00

Thanks Cyberwiz!

undef, it could be one of the devices losing connection (it tends to happen sometimes). Maybe if you restart them both?

eddynardo 2015-09-02 06:58

Both my lg g3 and tablet cant play this game.

omarshehta 2015-09-02 09:15

eddynardo, does it give you an error? Does it not load? Does it not connect?

voider 2015-09-09 19:01

wow amazing!!. I got a lot of synch issues but the concept and the game (music, graphics, fun and mood) are really good!. I tryied it out with Chrome browser on both desktop (v40) and mobile (samsung android 5). great game!
