A little slow and the time of opportunity to sneak past the guards could be tweaked. I liked the simple graphics and the lightning effect. Well done!

Fun and polished, but I kept feeling like I am dying to "complete bullshit". The following example just made me rage quit.

Some checkpoints along the way could be nice, as it becomes a chore to repeat the first parts again and again when dying. And it is a chore made out mostly of waiting. I get that it is a stealth game, but waiting is not fun for me. Last, I think the guards should take more than 1 frame to turn around.
I like the simple graphics but it's a bit too hard. This not an unusual thing though, as you get so used to playing while developing that you become an expert and think it's easier than it is. I agree that guards should turn around slower too.
Nice addictive game with simple and nice graphics but it should be better if it had checkpoints and guard's should take more time to turn around than turning around instantly. Overall, a nice game and I enjoyed it.
The game seems cool but it's way too hard for me (I quit after the green card), as its been said before, checkpoints would be nice + smoother movement mechanics
@boltkey @crispypin @vaibho @pierre-feuille-studio your are all right, it is a bit on the hard side and sometimes it seems a bit unfair when a guard "sees" you with one ray, that's true. Smooth guard turning and checkpoints are good points here. Thanks for playing and rating!
Wow hard game this one ;), but I like challenges! The art style it's simple, but really clear and works fine for the stealth. I just miss some detection time, pretty unfair that they detect you immediately:( But its really fun to play it anyway!! Check out our stealth game, we did one too!! And it's really hard aswell hahahaha ;)
@lonewolfdev Thanks for your comment! I will check out your game.
Love the "stealth simplefied" approach, but sadly too hard and unfair to be enjoyable - please fix the difficulty and I'll definetly return to try it again :) The base game is super solid, really just that problem...
@frederikh Thanks for your comment. My first approach was that you are detected, when the guard can see the player's center. But then you are half in the red cone without getting detected, what also didnt feel right. So the best solution would be a detection time I guess.
very well polished ! maybe you may increase player speed
Simple but effective. I like the smooth movements.
Cool and fun game! One more strange case for the detection, but in overall great game! Would add that checkpoints would be nice addition. (and more levels pleeeease) LD.PNG
@coffeedrinkers Thanks for the comment and bug report ;)
First enemy is the hardest one, you need to be so quick :)
Challenging one ! Nice idea well executed !
Game Finished! 10/10 Gems found!
This game is tough, but I think you got the difficulty just about right. I think the controls could use some work: the fact that left/right buttons override up/down was a bit frustrating at times. Overall I thought the game was well executed. Clean art style and fun reaction puzzles. Good entry!
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream! I played it today in the last few hours of voting :)
