I pressed enter to respawn but I got bugged when I tried to move, now I cant see my character at all(I cant move as well move).

cgmorton 2015-08-23 20:16

What's your setup like? I've tested on most browsers and never gotten a result like that. Maybe it's a plugin interaction?

bwafflecone 2015-08-23 20:48

Hilarious concept and the voice acting is funny too!

boardtobits 2015-08-23 21:29

I'm having the same issue as Stephan, playing on Chrome, Windows 10. Love the idea and the stealth implementation though!

gaius-baltar 2015-08-23 21:35

Great game, In-game instructions would have been cool though.

rongon 2015-08-23 21:43

Looks really fun to play, cool music aswell.

myster0n 2015-08-23 21:56

it's a little big buggy when you respawn. There's still a bit time though

mramaizng 2015-08-23 22:05

The sounds cracked me up. It has been mentioned several times, but there is a bit of a respawn bug. In any case cool idea. Some sort of guidance is needed from the start. But I like it.

misterwalter 2015-08-23 22:21

Voice acting was perfect.

I also got stuck on some things, I think that it's when I fatfinger two keys are once and go into a wall diagonally, I then get kicked out of it, but can't move. Really excellent entry though.

halemaster 2015-08-23 22:56

I got the same bug as above on FF. I think its when you press shift right as you are being killed and then it acts like you are always in box mode for movement.

jamestanm 2015-08-23 23:02

I like the game, though it took me coming back to the page to figure out what I was actually supposed to be doing

psydack 2015-08-23 23:05

I just don't understand for what use space. Every time I'm caught for these guys with helmet. Anyway, I like the fogs mechanics. Greats for a compo entry dude. +)

estrelsteel 2015-08-23 23:07

I like it a lot

chanko08 2015-08-23 23:20

Voices were awesome. I like the idea too, really clever.

krillzz94 2015-08-23 23:35

Nise... :)
Lovely level design.

solocov 2015-08-23 23:36

Okay... I AM ANNOYED.. I only looked once if someone is coming, and bam someone saw me. So frustrated :P

Still a good game, even tough I am bad at it :(

strd6 2015-08-23 23:52

Maybe I'm bad at reading but I had to read the instructions five times before I figured out how to trap a duder. Maybe an interactive in game tutorial would make showing the mechanics easier? Pretty neat concept and fun once I got it.

cgmorton 2015-08-24 02:09

Hey guys, I'm not 100% sure I fixed the respawn problem but I've added some safeguards that will hopefully prevent it (also the mashing buttons issue). I think I'm still in time?

Hints have also been updated to give better instructions.

Thanks for playing my game!

ilseroth 2015-08-24 03:11

I'll admit I didn't read instructions so at first I was very confused. But it's a cute game :)

weazen 2015-08-24 03:17

Good idea. Fits the theme very well. Some parts were harder to figure out than the others, but overall I enjoyed it.

Also, the slurp noise when you eat an adventurer is amazing.

andyman404 2015-08-24 03:17

Funny and interesting concept. The chest's eyes makes me laugh. I tried a bunch of times, but still could not sneak up on that adventurer. Not sure why, but I could not hear any sound from the game (I hear sounds from other games though.) I'll check back again later.

ferraware 2015-08-24 04:07

Cool game!

Pros:
-Really fun concept
-Fun sounds

Cons:
-Hard to understand at first
-Very difficult

bortstudios 2015-08-24 04:18

I could see this potentially becoming a full blown game. I love the idea of tricking people into thinking you're something else as your attack, I'm not sure I've ever seen that done in a game

inurashii 2015-08-24 04:24

This is my favorite compo game so far! :D It's a wonderfully creative interpretation of the theme, with extremely clever mechanics and fantastic sound (and voice). The graphics are the right kind of cartoony for the feel. You should be proud of this.

anglerteamgames 2015-08-24 04:28

Great sound, great concept, lots of fun!

Would be interested to see a non-grid-based version!

filiph 2015-08-24 05:48

That voice acting makes it!

zzcalvinzz 2015-08-24 15:23

pretty buggy, controls aren't very enjoyable...I thought it was really funny and the idea was great, just needs some polishing and it would be excellent!

terracottafrog 2015-08-24 15:25

The controls are a little bit wonky, once taking a full second to register that I closed, and I couldn't really get past the first screen because of that.

ezombort 2015-08-24 16:04

Got stuck and dissapeared a couple of time. Funny sounds :) Cool game.

dusho 2015-08-24 16:08

brilliant idea :)
and loved the sounds

peterkirk 2015-08-24 16:20

The liked the field of view mechanic and the voice acting was funny. The movement could be a bit faster.
I thought it was weird that the player was shown in a side-ish view but the enemies were fully top down.

ninebears 2015-08-24 22:24

I absolutely love this game. Fantastic job of turning a mimic into a stealth game. I especially liked the limiting view that pretending being a chest gives you

realize2d 2015-08-25 00:07

I really liked the voice acting, and the game overall is funny.

daisuke909 2015-08-25 00:13

I found it very satisfying the first time I ate somebody, but later it glitched out and I couldn't move, unfortunately.

Shina69 2015-08-25 00:35

Really funny sound effects and quality mechanics. As i didn't read the instructions at first, it seemed harder than it really is, althogh it surely takes time to dominate and it really interested me.

liquidmedia 2015-08-25 00:37

GG easy to play and interesting maze game.

2011petia 2015-08-25 00:40

Nice game,so much funny hahahaha

downtown 2015-08-25 01:17

Great game, took me a little while to figure out what to do, but the gameplay was enjoyable. the reduced vision when in chest form made it really tense. I wonder if the soldiers should have a little peripheral vision if you were to develop it further. Great Voice acting and music, and I like that you had variations for the sounds

boskosokolov 2015-08-25 01:38

the controls are a bit clunky

jofra 2015-08-25 01:43

Nice gamming concept. It's a shame you cant keep input pressed. :)

kruemelkeksfan 2015-08-25 02:05

Love it! Great concept and bugfree (when I played it).

wavegunner232 2015-08-25 02:27

this game is pretty good. it does not innovate much but it allot of fun to play and has great graphics aesthetic and theme, audio and humor is all pretty good solid 4/5 stars

fanatrick 2015-08-25 02:33

Very funny and enjoyable, even thought it's a bit simple on the gameplay.

voider 2015-08-25 02:47

Cool game! The AI of the enemy is perfect. I think I would it to be a little bit easier, but maybe it's just a personal preference. Good job!

rotpar 2015-08-25 02:47

Your game is really good but really hard! I had fun trying to avoid the adventurers.

Boxer911 2015-08-25 02:50

cool game

alarisilver 2015-08-25 04:04

Good job! :D I loved the voice acting. That must have been fun to do :P

ekajjake 2015-08-25 05:44

This game is wonderful, I love the exploration aspect.

hdong 2015-08-25 05:49

The voices were great :)
Great gameplay concepts, very unique

caspila 2015-08-25 06:17

Took me almost 5 minutes to understand how to play the game, and once i did, it was actually neat. needs in-game instructions, it's really to hard to get it.

rednowall 2015-08-25 06:26

nice music and cool game!

bloodyaugust 2015-08-25 07:39

Love the concept and I think it was pretty well executed. I didn't run into any bugs myself. The limited vision with the lid closed was really suspenseful. Om nom nom.

leopoldine 2015-08-25 08:09

Your game is interesting, great work.
But, like others, a little bug on respawn

mitkus 2015-08-25 08:14

Nice! Really enjoyed this one. Could use some difficulty balancing, but challenge is enjoyable.

eingya 2015-08-25 10:46

Theming feels a bit off, as the game wouldn't change much by switching monsters and heroes.

Game's quite fun though, fast paced stealth is a type of gameplay that can be quite fun, and there are not enough games about it in the world.

dhargan 2015-08-25 11:05

very innovative. i bet you got your influence from dark souls :D very good sound and grafics also. I really liked this entry. keep up the good work!

mboaj 2015-08-25 11:22

Cool little game :)

louspirit 2015-08-25 11:55

Good voices and mist system.

Sylverstone14 2015-08-25 12:09

Really enjoyed the gameplay, plus the voices really spooked me a bit. Good job!

saphyre1306 2015-08-25 12:17

Very nice ! It made me think of Legend of Grimrock ^_^ Simple but efficient :-) Well done !

ultraviper 2015-08-25 15:24

I like the idea of just hiding and waiting as a trap, very interesting!

Music is way too quiet in comparison with the sound effects. I didn't even know the game had music until I read a comment about it.

Very easy to get stuck and unable to move by pressing a direction you aren't supposed to be able to move toward. I managed to do it all 3 times I tried to play.

bumbu 2015-08-25 15:44

Very nice. Simple but challenging

jnyknn 2015-08-25 16:33

Personal monster choice.

pickensincorporated 2015-08-25 16:37

Really cool, innovative concept, with useful and humorous sound.

firetwin 2015-08-25 21:24

Really great game idea, well done! I love stealth games and this is definitely a funny original stealth game mechanic. The graphics and the voice work a very funny too so I think this game could quite easily be a little masterpiece with the right polish. Hope you carry it on.

wierd0 2015-08-25 21:48

Really cool game, but I think there is a bug with respawing once you get to a certain checkpoint. The only think I would say is that it is REALLY hard to figure out the box rooms (leading indivuals out didn't work)

firebrushstudios 2015-08-25 23:23

nice game, i ran into the problem where i lured 2 guys at the same time, which basically killed me because i got spotted, it runs fine, an i liked the voice overs

corupta 2015-08-25 23:35

Uh huh here's a chest *dies*
Although some bug happened when I died like 50 times, I loved the idea and the music. good job :)

robotmeal 2015-08-25 23:48

Slurp! Neat little stealth mechanic. Respawn was stable for me. Good entry.

cgmorton 2015-08-26 01:07

Hey all.

I'm still not entirely sure what's causing the movement bug, but I've added an integrity check every second or so that should unstick you when you get stuck. Hopefully :D

nicotuason 2015-08-26 04:09

Pretty fun to play! I love it when they yell "MONSTER!" haha. I just wish there was more stuff to discover as you explore.

guoboism 2015-08-27 08:26

This game is really fun, especially when you hear the joy sound of victims! It also has stealth elements. The game has potentials! Picked by GB!

mase 2015-08-27 15:40

Amazing chest ahead.
The sound effects are very amusing.
There are too many adventurers... maybe more like 20 would be best, with a steeper difficulty curve. I enjoyed working out different strategies for the crowded rooms.

ewchap 2015-08-28 02:04

Loved it. Very cool concept. Really enjoyed the SFX. Coming around some corners right into an enemy was a bit of a bummer but overall great job.

recursor 2015-08-28 11:47

Great idea having the player be a mimic. It's very simple, yet engaging which is perfect for a Ludum Dare. This is a great idea for a full-fledged game. As I was playing I couldn't help but think about all the cool stuff you could add to it. Nice job.

wooltech 2015-08-29 01:38

Fun central mechanic, and I like the apperance of the mimic. The line of sight and fog work really well too.

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-29 13:24

Nice concept!

karai17 2015-08-30 05:38

Great game! Improving the controls a little could do wonders, though. :)

cgmorton 2015-08-30 08:51

Thanks for your comments everyone!

I've put up a post-ld version with smoother controls and some more voices. I think it's an improvement.

Also I may have finally fixed that respawn bug XD

steboots 2015-09-03 11:51

This was a REALLY neat idea! There was a lot of "typical" entries for this theme, but I think this take on it really stands out!

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-18 16:30

Really neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/VOSoNttI06o
