I love the bunnies!! And the sound effects were hilarious xD I couldn't pass it though, the damn farmer always caught me :D

But only for carrot is kind of boring...

Cute. I love the bunny thematic and the pixel art. The flashlight on the uniformed is HUGE!!! I had a lot of trouble getting past that. I like that I could go into bushes. The music and dog bark sounds were really good too. Is that your dog barking?

Great entry, liked the concepts all around and was a blast-from-the-past with the old school nintendo game feel. Great job!

A lovely game, and a great take on the theme, I really enjoyed it :)

bunnies are cute! I was scared that being seen by dogs would be immediate loss, glad it wasn't!

The stealth element was fun, thrill and challenging. It was hilarious that so many hounds guard on so little amount of carrots. Being push out from bushes was unexpected :joy:

@candlesan Thanks for the feedback. That is actually me barking :joy:

@jober @found-bow-tonight @joey-shipley @ben-toosey @secrt101 @shaunyeap Thanks a lot for playing and commenting :)

Great mini-stealth game idea! I love the custom-made sound effects and the great animations like patrolling dogs and rustling bushes. The hole in the fence covered by bushes was fun nod to some stealth classics. Being able to hide in cover is great, too. The second-chance mechanic where you can get "caught" and then hide again before the farmer arrives is really smart. This is just very well executed and enjoyable the whole time!

This game is very nice and I love the concept.

This game is tougher than MGS! Farmer kind of jumps out of nowhere with his huge flashlight area. I think, his detect area should be a bit smaller to give the player more time to evade. Perhaps, farmer footsteps sound could be added that gets louder when he's closer, and/or distance attenuated grumbling sound. Otherwise, pretty good implementation. Props for using Godot!

The little effect with the bush shaking when you pass through one is so cute, and combined with the bushes covering the holes in the fences it works really well! Makes you feel a little clever when you realise you can pass through the fence by going through the bush :D

It was definitely quite punishing when the farmer _instantly_ turned on his flashlight and you just happened to already be inside that flashlight cone as @serg-z said, I like the game though, it's pretty focused and just the right side for a LD game I feel :)

Do wish I could hide in that little cave you see in the beginning though, it's the first thing I tried!

Good work!

What a cute game! Pretty punishing unless you take your time, but I definitely liked the challenge - even if my poor bunny ended up on the menu quite often. Controls were smooth, I liked the cute pixel art and the sound effects of those growling dogs was awesome.

Great Compo entry! The music and art are amazing, the story is adorable! Well done!

amarokczukay 2023-01-13 12:54

simple and lovely game, with more challenge than expected. art is really nice, music hold everything great. i kinda like the "harvest or be harvested" trope. The visual feedback when you're hidden in the bushes is on point. It was fun playing this game, nice entry!

Nice mini stealth game. Really challenging, the movement of ennemies are a bit too quick when they are turning so i found it a bit unfair sometimes. Visuals are really cool and sound effects works well. Congrats !

Nice game!

I agree with @jonqs, there could be more of a **sign** on **where** and **when** the enemies are gonna **turn**

jimbly 2023-01-14 21:15

Love the bunny, so cute! Died pretty unexpectedly, which didn't feel great, would have liked a little more warning. 10 carrots also seems like a lot... splitting it into 2 levels and just a couple carrots in the first level to get the hang of it woulda been really nice =).

Headtorch dogs will always garner points from me.

samuli 2023-01-17 18:14

The best game for this theme!

benskca 2023-01-22 17:28

Lovely game with really cute art and sound effects! It's really fun planning out your route from the level based on the positions of the dogs :smile:

I agree with what some other people have said that the view cones suddenly moving when the enemies turn makes the game quite hard, I think making them turn gradually would avoid some frustrating deaths.

Cool use of theme to make a sneaking rabbit game. Hiding in the bushes makes for a great way to make up for getting sighted by the dogs and avoiding the farmer. Also cool how the difficulty naturally gets harder as the carrots you need to collect are further and further away. Good work!
