[CONTROLS] Left/Right Arrow Keys - move Space - jump Left Control - crouch
[ABOUT] "One day you, a young ninja-in-training, are suddenly sucked into a rip in the time-space continuum! Now you are far in the future, where everyone is a killer robot! You must find your way home, but tread carefully and AVOID BEING SPOTTED!"
'Hide!' is a simple 2d stealth platformer with only a single level. We were planning to add a lot more, but this was our first Ludum Dare and we were completely unprepared. At least we got something submitted though :)

[NOTES] -We made a couple of tiny fixes for issues that was making the game unintentionally difficult (specifically, we lowered the speed of one of the cameras and moved one of the lights).
-We've uploaded a playthrough video. Please check it out if you're getting stuck or just want to see the full level without the pain :)
The controls were incredibly frustrating. When I try to run ad crouch under small obstacles I often would get stuck and permadeath back to the beginning. Could definitely use a checkpoint system of some kind.
Thanks for the comments everyone! Difficulty was definitely higher than we intended it to be (I guess we got pretty good at our game after testing it so much..)
@r0x0r Added a link to the linux port. I haven't been able to test this yet; let me know if you have any issues.
A really smartly designed and solidly implemented platformer, a pleasant surprise. You just fell for the difficulty trap, which is bound to happen when we don't have time to playtest. Great job mate.
Seems like you got a lot done, but could have used some more playtesting. Maybe allow the player to stand in the light for ~500ms before they actually get caught to make it easier.
The game itself seems VERY difficult however. Even the first two light beams are easy to screw up, and with the slightest mistake instantly resetting the whole level (instead of a checkpoint, or a "thread level" meter), it is sadly hard to see all the cool stuff in your level.
Wow, it is very very very difficult. x'D I love the ninja character, the mood and I love the gameplay idea. Exactly the kind of game I like. I'm a bit frustrating because it is so difficult at the beginning. It might be great with a lower difficulty and more checkpoints!
Really nice game! I liked the old-school type of difficulty where you had to progressively get better and better at learning a level, and the graphics and music were well done.
I tried to make a game similar to this a while back. You managed to do it for a ludum dare entry... sigh... -_- Nice work! Although, I really didn't see any connection with the theme other than the short blurb in the description...

It's a little hard to not be spotted.
