I did't think I would like a game where there is so much to read. But this is SOOOO much fun! Really liked this one :) Reminded me of Shadowrun

Absolutely love the dialogue in between levels, full of brilliant humour. "In the year LD34" made me chuckle.
Only issue I had was on level 5, I collected everything and died before getting to the exit. It sent me to the next level anyway. Other than that minor issue, amazing game!

SNAKE.. SNAAAKE. lol. I love metal gear solid, I bet you too. I managed to play this game to mission 4 atm. maybe I will get back to it. :).. more work on the graphics (shadows etc, because this is a stealth game) could make this even better. Also, I would remove the weird auto-speak sounds from dialogs? Anyway, nice job^^

Your game is hard. And it is good for some point. But also it can be a minus for this game. The idea is simple and good but you need to add some features like how buttons rotate the character for post-compo version. Great job!

Mission complete !

Nice game, nostalgia hit me hard :D
it's like a mix of pac / man and infiltration, i liked it!

muffty 2015-12-15 12:27

I really had some hard time getting the moves right. But the game is fun!

korvyashka 2015-12-15 12:32

Well done. Puzzles not hard, but for 3 days its fine.

fanatrick 2015-12-15 12:38

I liked it. Narrative was fine, I wish the teleporter transition wasn't instant.

commodorekid 2015-12-15 13:21

I liked how you took time to create many levels. I think this could be improved graphically because mechanics work. Maybe sounds and music also requires rework. Other than these, fun game, good work :)

Super Cool Game.
+ Nice Graphics.
+ Fantastic audio/music and cutscenes.

- Small. Needs more levels.

drury 2015-12-15 14:26

Teleporting was a bit of a slap in the face but other than that, solid. Not metal or gear or anything.

taffaz 2015-12-15 20:23

Cool game, I liked how you kept adding different obstacles/enemies.

oneiric-worlds 2015-12-16 09:59

Pretty cool atmosphere! Love the story telling, the universe and the humour! Controls totally fit the theme. I'm less a fan of the audio part, but it does the trick and integrates quite well within the game universe. Great job here!

abold 2015-12-16 10:19

Well done guys, the idea is great and very well implemented
I really like it an I played it till end.

soka 2015-12-16 11:22

What a fun game, and I love the time limit pressure, the humor too, really good <3 congratz

Very interesting game. Looks like a lot of efford was put into cutscenes. Gameplay is entertaining. References in dialogues are great :D

geoff10e 2015-12-16 15:15

Really fun game. Silly but good story. Loved the cyberpunky feel. Felt the difficulty ramped up pretty much perfectly. Loved the MGS jokes. One of my favorite entries from this LD, found myself completing the game.

lawendt 2015-12-17 23:57

Nice and funny too, good work!

inbetweengames 2015-12-17 23:58

A bit too much dialogue for me, would've been good to get it somehow integrated into the levels, so you can stay in the zone longer. Cool puzzle concept though for the theme!

evannex 2015-12-18 02:37

Great game you've got here! I played a few levels and put it in my save for later folder ^_^ Very well done.

schizoid2k 2015-12-18 03:00

Nice game... good job. Challenging and fun!

rjhelms 2015-12-18 03:17

Nice level design - good execution with the gradual introduction of new goals and challenges.

The length felt about perfect for an LD game, too. Good job!

ryusui 2015-12-18 06:20

Very nice. My only gripe is the game crashes if I leave it paused on the dialogue cutscenes between levels for too long. ^_^;

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-19 17:33

This is pretty good! I like the effort put into the narrative. I like the dystopian future style. The gameplay is well paced, its nice that the new features are introduced over time. Working out which direction to press when walking downwards was a little confusing, but I suppose thats part of the difficulty of it. Good stuff!

pkenney 2015-12-20 16:46

Wow, this is an excellent entry, the idea is well thought out and the implementation is very strong! I enjoyed playing all the way through to the end.

The dialog screen was nice as well, the sound effect of the talking was cool and the characters were well-written.

A couple of tiny things felt a bit unfair a couple of times, like teleporting into a sudden need to turn, and the way that sometimes the read laser around the outside perimeter is drawn in such a way that it looks like maybe you could run there safely. But honestly there's not much to critique here, it was very well done!

Also the game length and dialog screen durations were spot on for my taste. Great job.

drauthius 2015-12-23 12:56

Solid idea, but not really for me. The dialogues weren't very captivating.

strike 2015-12-23 16:11

Very good game.

gloim 2015-12-27 07:51

I dig the artstyle! thanks for this great little game :)

xanjos 2015-12-27 19:54

Nice cyberpunk inspired game. Also that MGS reference was rather nice :)

creative-sectors 2015-12-28 12:04

[Lazarus-omin from Creative Sectors]:
Absolutely loved this one! I wish it was longer.

Graphics were clean, simple, nothing too complicated, but the elements pretty much suited the mood. The music and sound effect were fitting, no complaints here. Controls take some time to master, but that's the challenge, ain't it? I pretty much liked the dialogue parts, they added a cool humor factor, and were well written, the characters were likeable.

Congrats' on the game, it's a very memorable one!

P.s.: Any plans on expanding it?

fergarram 2015-12-29 01:00

I'm too lazy to keep playing but looks nice.

nirabazgames 2015-12-30 22:52

nice idea, good job!

tth2x 2016-01-01 12:18

so amazing game!
it is training my thinking and let me to set my view base on the hero's position!(let me understand left and right more clearly!)
music and audio all super cool!
After all kinds of baptism, stage clear finally ^o^ love it so much!!

derosa 2016-01-03 12:51

Really fun game with clever puzzles! Thanks!

caryoscelus 2016-01-03 16:25

Nice game, though it gets too repetitive (like die -> repeat everything and change last step -> again) at later levels.

tth2x 2016-01-03 16:30

by the way!i realize that something i forgot to say !ToT
I think if our hero have a wrist bands or watch on his left hand/ right hand, that may let player to more realize the direction~? but that may not hard any more~~ orz
Happy New Year!
Cheeers~
i must to say that i love this difficulty degree~ it let me challenge my safe-zone just right!

kmakai 2016-01-03 19:21

Awesome job! I love seeing puzzle-focused games that manage to include compelling story elements as well. You certainly must have been busy to get it all done. My only suggestions would be to have space skip to the end of the current dialogue message, rather than the start of the next one (frequently just wanted to make the message appear when one character was speaking, but instead skipped the whole thing), and this could be me being dense, but I didn't realize at first that you couldn't run along the edges of the level -- they look wide enough to get through.

Congrats!

Really neat, well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/DUttdjt5uB4
