Very beautiful and polished pixel art game. I love the presentation and all the details. Could do with a little more AI (of course hard to accomplish in 48hrs) and the music is really repetitive. But overall, I liked it a lot.

Woot! The difficulty ramped up right when it needed to. Well done! (escaped with 1671 gold)

Nice and simple, good job!

Very good! I finished with 1666 gold :D

Nice,
not a lot of variety, buy the game feels complete and had just perfect length of gameplay.
Smooth particles look kind of weird with together with pixel art though

Good stuff. A little odd that I could shapeshift right under the nose of the guard and it was none the wiser. Nice pixel art, and I liked that you actually wrote what I "found"/stole everywhere.

Great game! Only complaints are lack of checkpoints and repetitive music!

Nice game. I liked it. Music was a tad stale though.

Nice game. I love the pixel art and its style.

The sounds and graphics were amazing. As said earlier the game gets harder when it needs to.

The game looks very nice, though I found the gameplay only attractive for the first 2 loot items/guards, then it became tedious (I still played until I died, so it wasn't that bad, it just became repetitive)

I think I would've preferred a more puzzly element, for example that you needed to shapeshift to a specific item to fool different kinds of guards.

That said, overall it's still pretty nice.

I think the guard squatted on me when I was a chair :P
Nice little game (score 1671)

Very polished! I particularly loved the shifting effect into different items! Keep going! As Cerno_b said, a bit more of AI works and that would be a bit different after a while! Overall: I really liked it!

Simple game but oh so fun. Screw those aristocrats!

Nice graphics and sound, could use more variety in terms of gameplay, but not too big of an issue. Good job!

Good idea for a story. And the presentation is nice too. I love shift into the empty armor xD

2016-04-18 19:16

Wow. It's going to be a great game.

varuns 2016-04-18 19:42

It's fun! It'll be even better if the guards chase you and you have to get them off-screen and shift to get them off your tail :D

This is definitely the best game I've played so far. The shapeshifting mechanic was great and I love the art. It was great how stupid the guard are, but maybe you can add some kind of feature to make them smarter and you have to disguise yourself a certain way in order to trick them. Either way, really great job!

That was quite fun. Pixel art looks really nice and the music is good as well. Only problem I noticed was that the guards melded in with the background sometimes so that they were a bit hard to see. Other than that, this is a nice game.

coderdozer 2016-04-19 17:36

Nice game with fun graphics, however i felt it could do with a bit more variety as if felt a bit repetitive as it went on, other than that I still enjoyed playing, well done.
