Does this game even have an ending? I went through 15 levels and I just get messages like "don't give up" or "I can almost smell the air" or something.
Solid game though.

Simple game, fun to play for a shortwhile but gets repetitive quickly because it doesn't seem to get gradually more difficult - the difficulty seems slightly random at times. Good job though!

twistedshield 2015-08-24 23:37

Thanks for the feedback! The level design was done really quick, so I'm not surprised there's some inconsistencies with the difficulty.
And yeah, there's definitely an ending :)

don't really understood the mechanics, but the graphics were nice.

nice game nice idea keep going good job!

I let blinky down :(

Was fun at the beginning but didn't seem to add anything new. I also think an up and down could have been fun.

Yeah a bit repetitive after a while. I played to level 12. I had fun while playing it, good job!

boskosokolov 2015-08-25 00:16

I f***ing love stealth games. Good Job

Very cool game idea! You should definitely flesh it out some more.

I like the game, new way to play. Haha I don't know if someone do this, but I love to burn these adventures.

Interesting mechanic, pretty repetitive. Mostly seemed a waiting game, not really that difficult.

Nice game :-) Not so innovative, but I had fun playing it :-)

riverandrun 2015-08-25 01:10

It neat and I think it would be great as a touch game. Well Done :D

DerekRumpler 2015-08-25 01:16

I like the initial concept and I think if developed further it could be fun! I'm rating highly because it is a jam and I understand the time restraints.

twistedshield 2015-08-25 01:21

Thanks for all the kind comments! I completely agree it can get repetitive, but I'm also really happy that people are having fun playing it! :)

Good excuse for lost lives, but the central mechanic is done to death.

Loved the idea behind the game. Died at level 11 so not sure what kinds of gameplay innovations you have after that, but would have been nice to see a little more variation and even see Blinky do more against the guards.

Simple but fun and solid. Good job.

Eye've always wanted to play a beholder.

brelx 2015-08-25 02:58

Seems to just be a test of patience at times, but still a pretty cool game. I tried my best to not let Blinky down, but I lost at level 11.

toomuchpete 2015-08-25 03:01

Neat idea! Putting in some additional mechanics or level options would probably help replayability.

vividhelix 2015-08-25 04:06

died at level 11, interesting mechanic.

chabuduo 2015-08-25 04:38

Interesting idea! getting spotted usualy kills you, so its a fresh take!

druhinm 2015-08-25 06:37

Nice game

maguera93 2015-08-25 06:54

Good job!

jnyknn 2015-08-25 06:58

Nice game, but a bit too simple. It's basically just moving left and right.

brainfreezeman 2015-08-25 08:34

Feels a bit slow, which I found unsatisfying. But it's an interesting concept! With some more polish to the gameplay and backstory it could probably turn into a really cool and unique game.

acerio 2015-08-25 10:24

Reminds me of Mario for some reason. I think it's because of the graphics. Good job :D

peterthehe 2015-08-25 10:42

Fun mechanic, good execution.
