I found it a bit easy to dodge the guards rather than trying to hide, but otherwise enjoyable game! :)

Gorgeous soundtrack! Stylish graphics. I like it! Would be nice with a map, getting too old for mazes :)

Stop him! Nice work.

The music is so awesome

Beautiful atmosphere. I love the character. Jumping feels a bit "floaty". A very strong entry. Great work!

refrag21 Dec 2010, 21:49

Also, damn I love your music.

Benn: Yea I know, they have quite bad eyesight. :P

Plams, The Jack, Sos: Thanks a lot! :)

Refrag: Thanks! I agree, the jumping and controls in general could be improved on.

This was a lot of fun. Music was a perfect fit. I liked the hiding game mechanic but it got a little tedious sometimes. Level design could have used some more variety, for example I often couldnt tell if a pit would lead to another area or if i would fall to my death. But overall felt pretty complete and very playable. nice work!

Really good!
Now all the worlds secret documents are mine!
The music is awesome and also the little touches with the graphic add to it. Very well done!

Only gripe I have is that it's impossible to know if it's safe to drop down or not..

Really nice. The music, sounds and visuals are perfect.

Oh man, the lack of a floor seem too brutal.

Nice! I like this interpretation of the theme. The visuals are well done, and I love the music.

Thanks for all the comments!
jovoc and sol_hsa: Yea I agree, I have fixed that in the post compo version.

Good atmospheric music. I struggle to make a game in 48hours let along music like that as well. I agree with the previous comments about the dropping being frustrating and also the guards been a bit easy to just jump past. Still a really solid game though, nice work.

Thanks danblack! The original levels were all literally made in the last 2 hours, except from the first one. I have tried to make the dropping down parts more obvious using signs and ladders in the post-compo version.
