This game has a super neat premise and presentation! I love these simplistic, vibrant graphics, and I feel they fit well with the LIDAR mechanic. Navigating the world and its threats is engaging and even when you fail, you're learning via trial and error. Only issue I noticed is that the frame rate suffers when sending out a LIDAR ping, which can make it difficult to navigate. Other than that, it'd be awesome to see this fleshed out with some additional audio and sound effects to really pull the mood together.

Visuals and the scanning effect are really great, loved that cool idea overall, plays nicely really wanted to blow up the target on the mini but couldn’t figure it out feels like this could be expanded further, it’s already fun Also has some perfomance issues when ping but not crytical at all

Visual effects are great! Really cool idea!

I've tried to address the performance issues, and I've added mobile controls - hopefully all within the allowed post jam fixes and porting. No changes to the gameplay or graphics. The original version is available for download.

I think the game look very clean, I managed to beat both levels without much difficulty. The look of it reminded me a bit of Frozen Synapse. I felt like the enemies did not do much though, I mostly dies to walking into random orange objects. I think it's a little unfortunate to use AI to code in game jams but I also think its important to have fun and if the code is a blocker then what the hell. Anyway pretty neat game, and fun that it's just in plain Javascript!

I thought the idea was really cool and I had a lot of fun in the short time I played. I was expecting a longer game, but I imagine the short time for its creation hampered your plans.

Even though it's short, it's very polished. I didn't find any bugs.

I loved the traffic light mechanic. How the light is blocked by obstacles. You did a great job.

Congratulations!

Extremely solid implementation, and I really dig the vector graphics style! I was surprised a few times by enemies running out but I usually dodged out of the way, it was a pretty slick effect

Fun little stealth/puzzle experience!

I too am not a fan of the use of AI in a game jam (or in general 😅), but I commend you for disclosing it. The idea is still your own. It holds up well and uses the theme to great effect!

Would’ve loved some music to compliment the mood.

Neat idea. The ping might need "some" cooldown maybe.

This was a really cool entry. The ping was handled really well.

Love the way the game feels. I also had some performance issues when using the ping but nothing that stopped me from playing the game!
