It's Heist Time! Recover the mysterious artefacts from the museum while sneaking past guards. If you get caught, just send them a few seconds backwards in their own timeline to before they caught you!
Some guards patrol, some stand still. You can shoot either with your time device to rewind their timeline a few seconds.
WASD to move LMB to fire E to pick up the artefacts
DS4 supported and recommended Left stick to move Right stick to aim Right bumper to pick up artefacts Left bumper to fire
A pretty darn solid stealth-em-up 'ere. Really digging the ice cannon in this, some of the angles are a little weird, especially on the second guard in the first stage (aiming at him past the corner of the wall). If enemies stayed aggro'd after being blasted by ice again for a while that may also add to the difficulty but for a 48 hour submission this is some very solid, very fun stuff. Good work :).
LOVE a good stealth-em-up! :) Great little game here. I will come back to this and try to finish it. Got two artifacts in the second level when I stopped. LOVE the bar on the guys backpack and the level design. Great stuff!
A good stealth game, especially for one made in 24 hours. I had some problems with the camera making it hard to see things, and it needed some audio cues for things like when the gun is charged or you are spotted. I'd recommend a tool like SFXR or BFXR too make these.
Very nice game. I did not immediately see the recharge thing on my back, or understand that it was a time gun - but once I had got a grip on it, I really enjoyed it. But there did not seem to be any music or SFX?
Very well crafted game and nicely put together. I will definitely check out the source to learn a thing or two! Level design is great, time travel!! is awesome and athmosphere feels like I am really sneaking up on someone! Respect and I suggest to continue with it. You are on to something here :-)
Got to the second level and encountered a bug where when I died, I would respawn in the same spot I was. And when I beat the level, it would just send me to the same spot (my level wouldn't progress). I like the game and the stealth mechanics were nice and required you to strategize your plans and look at their patterns. Very good environment as well.
The time gun is pretty fun to use. I like that it has a long cool down forcing you to plan how you are going to use it. I would prefer a higher camera angle but other wise very enjoyable. Nice Work!
The camera is a little awkward but it is quite fun.
Not sure if it is a glitch, or intended but several guards slide aroound without facing the direction they are headed; but then the moon walking may be intentional.
The "time control" weapon is interesting, but right now it's basically a "back home" button - which means you entirely rely on knowing where their single start position is. Which doesn't make thematic sense.
Otherwise, it's tightly designed with some really good tight bits.
Oh, and the E - why do you even need a button to pick up? It doesn't really make sense. Touching should do it. Monaco has taught us that you don't even need buttons at all most of the time :)
Challenging but fun game. I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q8RvVjW24Io
Great game ! Especially for the short time it took to make. The time gun works really well and makes for some excellent gameplay. I liked that it posed more of a challenge than what I initially expected. Especially level 2. All it needs now is a little more work on the mood and graphics. And sounds. And MORE LEVELS ;)
Great idea. I couldn't get the controls to work properly, he only seemed to switch between two diagonal directions. It's a really cool and different approach to stealth though.
The camera angle is a little wonky. The movement isn't well adapted to keyboard inputs. Also, the camera damping made me slightly nauseous. Perhaps a top-down angle aligned with the cardinal directions would be best. that way no guards would sneak up on me unfairly. Otherwise, neat game.
A well done stealth game, impressed you made this in such a short time. The time gun is a clever use of the theme. Enjoyed figuring out the different layouts just had issues with the camera at times.

I'm just blown away by this great stealth game!
Good job! :)
Really glad you all like it.
I've never been good with audio, when it game to tasks for day 2 I figured I'd skip it and focus on things I knew I could polish properly.
With some work this game can become Bonanza Brothers 3D!

I love the hats.

Great camera work, too!

Operation is difficult, I want you to easier.
