Love the art and atmosphere! I wasn't really sure where the police were, so it was hard to figure out how to avoid them.

Very interesting idea for a game! Your character art and music are great! I as a bit confused at first what to do so maybe something similar to a tutorial? I thought at first I was trapped into a very small room and it wasn't untill I thought I'd try running at the walls to see if I could find a door did I realise I could leave however that could be because I'm an idiot hee hee. Good job lads!

The game is nice, but the problem is that sometimes the cops are glitched. It had a lot of great atmosphere!

Big fan of the character designs and the animation! :grin: Also think that the greyscale/monochrome visuals worked really well.

There were some issues with the policeman getting caught on the corners of buildings, and I did manage to get inside a building at one point by accident but then couldn't get out again...!

Anyway, I managed to ditch all the body parts and follow the cop around for a while to watch his lovely little walk animation, so I count that as a win. :smile:

Nice work!

This was a really nice and polished looking and the character was well animated. The light glow was a really clear indicator of character visibility.

I thought is was really easy and that I was doing really well until I found that the policeman had got stuck on a building the whole time :)

Good game, well done!

the art was awesome, game some feel of enlgand and jack the ripper. but at first diferenciating floor from wall was tricky. in fact in my first play i thought i was trapped in a square room until a mob came and caught me. a bit of direction would be apreciated, other than that good job

The story is pretty amusing, and holy cow the art is very charming. I love the character design, and the art style as a whole is fantastic. I was in the same situation as polite-stories, where I assumed I was stuck in a small room, but what I thought were walls turned out to be a floor. I think having some sort of mini-map to show where the walls are, where the cops are, and where you hid the body parts could be an especially useful feature.

Did I say the art is good yet? because man, I love the art style. ha! Great game.

The art caught my attention and the premise seemed nice, so I gave this one a go.

Very good concept that didn't seem to work that well for me. I found it way to easy to cheese a cop, somehow I managed to get him to run into the wall and ignore me for the whole duration of the game, making the hiding of body parts a real breeze. When I thought I reached the end however, nothing happened, the game just kept going like normal. Was I missing something or was it supposed to be that way? o:

Now the good stuff, cause there are a lot of them: I LOVE the animation on the main heroine, she is so well done, I especially love the animation of her struggling to drag a body part, it's perfect! The art direction is gorgeous and full of charm and it all fit very well. The controls were good and satisfying and the walking and corpse dragging speed both felt just right! There was some unfortunate mishaps with sorting layer, but that's nothing you guys cannot fix.

Overall, I really liked this one, I think you should do the post jam version. Well done!

The art was amazing! It created a great mood along with the music. The gameplay needs some work - at first I didn't know what to do, so I used up all my stuff, but it turned out I didn't need it, as I've never seen any policemen until the end. And at the end I've hidden the whole body and nothing happened. So I just wandered on the map and gave myself in, lol. But with some polish the game loop could be very fun, so it will be cool if you keep working on it. I'll check out the postjam version. Anyway, good job!

cop.pngOOB.png Cute game with lovely visuals. I think its a little unrefined still as I nearly hid everything without being caught then got stuck out of bounds and the cop seemed to just only walk into this wall but for any gamejam I expect some bugs so I'm sure you can fix them at a later stage. I think trying to make the game more fun as I felt like I was just wandering around till I found a bin. If you made it so that maybe after hiding the body it went to a different stage and have levels based around hiding a body I think that would make the game more fun and challenging as you can progress the difficulty the more you go on.

Cool art style. I like that monochromatic style which is similar to SinCity. Game was a little confusing because of lack description and direction. I was lost because after hiding all the body parts I did not know what else to do in the game. But overall a nice looking which had decent audio the set the mood.
