Really dig the shapeshifter "hitman" vibe intended here but GEEEEBUSSSS the controls! The character "drives" like a car or something, really annoying :/
Shame really, good concept.

Shame really, good concept.
I enjoyed playing this game. At the beginning, I got confused and kept dying.. until I realized I was being an idiot xD It was a fun game with a mixture of puzzle solving (working out who to shapeshift into) and stealth. The graphics in the game were also great. I found the controls kind of hard to get used to, but that could just be me. Overall, good job.
The idea is really cool, but I was confused about what to do, who to shapeshift into and where to go. I did miss more interaction with the other characters. Some sound effects would have helped a lot as well.
I like the character sprites, but they do sometimes clash with the lower quality art.
This is how I walk irl
Agree the controls need a tweak, yeah it feels like driving a car. Solid concept otherwise.
It took me a few attempts to figure out the criteria for each task, but overall pretty fun. It was a bit disorienting, but I actually thought that added a bit to the discovery of it all. Pretty cool effort, good job :)
The controls are a bit clunky but the overall idea was really nice! The instructions are not always very clear especially the "important person". Good job!
I really like the concept, but there's a lot of polish missing to make this a really fun game.
Cons:
- As others said before: controls. A control scheme like Hotline Miami would be a perfect fit
- missing feedback: At the beginning I didn't really know why I died. It took me a while to figure out, that there security guards in front of me but outside the visible area who shot me. Some sounds or maybe showing the player what killed them would be nice
- every room is basically the same concept: shapeshift into someone who can proceed -> done. Could use some more environmental things like "You need to shapeshift into that guy, but you have to lure him out first"
Pros:
- I like the hitman vibe
- basic concept is nice
So overall it just needs some more polish and content and this could become a solid game. Good job :)
The controls kill this game. and the instructions are hard to understand. The idea is AWESOME though
The controls are a bit weird but the idea of the game have potential. I like the Hotline Miami style graphics.
some controls problem and graphics could have been better but a cool game like that
