Love the sounds

sirtetris 2016-04-18 10:03

"Yaaay, new high score!" :D

Love the awesome sound effects! Gameplay is fun, visuals do their job (viewfields extending through walls makes for a challenge when there are a lot of guards) and did I say the sound effects are awesome?

All in all a really cool game! :)

mrmegawatts 2016-04-18 10:12

Good game!

thomz12 2016-04-18 10:18

The sounds are awesome! Nice game!

nicotuason 2016-04-18 10:23

Haha this is great! Just walking around is amusing because of the bouncy animation. The gameplay is pretty fun and I somehow managed to get 45 guards on screen before I got seen. And of course the sounds.

smy 2016-04-18 10:29

fun game!
i like the look, sound and the footsteps...
make a bigger map, give the guards the chance to come into play - its too easy to just stand at the door and attack.
great work!

mutonizer 2016-04-18 11:00

Still laughing at how crazy it gets when you have many enemies on screen.
Simple but works and good fun. Audio is the kind tongue in cheek programmer audio I like. Game works as intended though field of view for enemies is a bit weird (through walls?) and it feels like it could be tweaked in some way.

Good one, kudos :)

Great fun! First time I tried WASD and failed miserably. Score was 7. Second time I switched to the arrow keys and it was much better. I actually killed around 20 of them before I got stuck in one of the passages on the edges of the screen. I exit one of them and then immediately entered back. After that I was not able to return back to the play area.

This is a really good entry and a huge amount of fun to play. Keep up the good work.

grayhaze 2016-04-18 12:29

Excellent work! The sound effects really make this, but the game is also really fun. I started to get really stressed out after a while...

A+, would be a mouse again.

sanojian 2016-04-18 13:13

Squeek, fear the were-mouse! Fun and exciting gameplay. The sounds give it a lot of charm.

joemanaco 2016-04-18 13:21

Really fun game!

crisp 2016-04-18 13:59

This game is SOOOO fun!!!!! And the acapella sounds are a great idea! Very well done!

wirdo91 2016-04-18 15:40

Awesome sounds

bagface 2016-04-18 17:04

Great game! Completely silly. Squeak!

wevel 2016-04-18 18:11

Funny audio, using isn't so good as its difficult to then move right

ragnta 2016-04-18 18:47

It's very good game. nice concept, and good audio. Good job!

hypp 2016-04-18 19:57

Quite fun. It felt lika a reinvented Pac-Man clone. And nice sound effects.

glaze_96 2016-04-18 20:32

Wow! Best game I've played so far, and I've played over 30 now.

Got 50 guards, can you beat that guys? ;)

mrdave 2016-04-18 21:03

Wow guys, thanks for such lovely feedback!

goffmog 2016-04-18 23:01

Really nicely polished, great sounds and core mechanic. Wonder where you need to go from here to make it a larger game? Levels maybe? Some more mouse mechanics such as eating cheese or scaring elephants down corridors? I had a lot of fun until the map was just too crowded to continue. Nice one!

dylanwolf 2016-04-18 23:02

Good use of the theme and neat mechanic. It would have been interesting to see difficulty ramp up (more enemies, faster enemy, etc.)

landosystems 2016-04-19 03:53

Great sounds, fun little game. Difficulty ramped up pretty quickly. Only managed 11 kills in ~200 seconds. Nice work!

sepharoth213 2016-04-19 08:19

nice tech being shown off in this game.
i think the game is crippled by how easy it is to reset aggro on people. i could easily get enough kills to where my framerate was suffering too much to continue just by walking up to people and hitting them before they killed me.
LOTS of potential in this project though, great job :)

marcellus 2016-04-19 08:52

Felt like Goku sneaking behind Hit. Very nice audio, nice work !

kgs0142 2016-04-19 14:21

I love the sounds, quite humor lol

antglynn 2016-04-19 16:41

Haha great game. Love the sounds. Good job!

xaychru04 2016-04-19 17:33

Lovely sound effects! The transition from mouse to human was a bit too slow in my opinion and it got me killed a few times. It was still fun to play! :)

McFunkypants 2016-04-19 18:56

Wow, this is SO POLISHED. Wonderful work. It's slick, playable, cool, and interesting. Loved it.

arzi 2016-04-19 19:34

That was fun! It's a nice variation on a stealth game. I kind of wish there was more content, though :)

pythong 2016-04-19 19:37

it started lagging a lot when i reached 100 :) i was a mouse, then got stuck as human in the wall (middle lower right). the guards couldn't kill me, but i could kill them

llucile 2016-04-19 20:25

I love the sounds, like I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars.
Game itself is fun, a well orchestrated classic, but I didn't really got the use of the shapeshifting skill.

reismahnic 2016-04-19 22:51

I know you've heard this, but the sounds really were great. :)
The core gameplay was fun too, though! I could easily see something like this being expanded into a full release. Great job!

teamscripta 2016-04-20 00:55

Loved this game. The ability to shift between mouse and human is a great twist - I'd like to see this mechanic toggle on/off rather than a hold-down, but that might just be me. As with everyone else, the sound effects were hilarious. Great work!

gafblizzard 2016-04-20 07:45

Nice graphic design on the menu screen. I got a high score of 16.

The audio was annoying to me but some might be amused. :P

The gameplay was innovative and worked well. I just wished I could toggle mouse mode instead of holding down a button.

markusfisch 2016-04-20 16:29

The sound, okay, probably also your voice, really sells this game to me :) Very funny! Made me smile like an idiot.

frozencow 2016-04-20 19:24

Loved the sounds! Managed to get 113 guards, it was getting a bit crazy :D

dreschler 2016-04-21 19:00

Nice game!

jonnopon3000 2016-04-21 22:44

I smiled the whole time playing this, it's wonderful

phocker 2016-04-22 02:23

that was a fab game - loved the concept, the artwork and the audio - overall great job - one small thing too many enemies come after each kill and also the mouse got lost in one of the holes

euske 2016-04-23 12:22

The game mechanics is good, but the game became a bit repetitive after a few hits. The sound effects are nice.

fin_nolimit 2016-04-23 21:23

Now that is a cute little game! I laughed (and loved) the little mouse sounds lol nice work

questionablequality 2016-04-24 10:35

It was very Metal Gear Solid. I'm not a huge fan of stealth games so I wasn't great at it, but it definitely worked well.

marmpa 2016-04-26 10:42

Really nice game and very very funny sounds.I got stuck on one of those walls though.

danieldsj 2016-04-29 02:09

I was thinking of making a game similar to this initially. Great effort. Great sounds.

deadbodyoutline 2016-04-29 02:42

Haha, funny game :D

When on a hurry, I could enter/exit quickly as a mouse on the holes until the enemies move away ;)

noddingtortoise 2016-04-29 20:08

Great game, with awesome sound effects. Good job!

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-30 15:28

Nice, well made game. I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/6jh8RTn7UxY

randomhuman 2016-05-01 09:33

Great sound effects! This game is fun and gets challenging fast.

spacemyname 2016-05-04 02:21

The web version on the LD site has a bug where if you turn into mouse and then attack a guard the level progresses, which can cause the game to start flashing 3 numbers of levels at a time (ex. 13,14,and 15 all at once) and spawn enemies for each kill. In my video review you'll see the bug replicated, otherwise nice game!

megalukes 2016-05-09 00:05

I had a lot of fun with this one. Great work!

danilo-bezerra 2016-05-09 00:59

Nice polishment on the menus and good sound effects! Need more challenge.

broknecho 2016-05-09 04:05

Sound effects were awesome. Neat survival game. The shapeshifting was a nice function and could totally be added to.

Great job.

nhojrekrap 2016-05-09 17:50

Really well polished and hilarious sound effects :P

the_flash_point 2016-05-09 21:53

I had fun with the game! But didn't grasp the relation with shape shifting. Cool SFX mate!
