Very well-executed--the UI and graphics are impressive for a weekend game jam. The levels seem pretty challenging; I finally gave up a few levels in because stealth games aren't my thing.

Really cool game, impressive 3D graphics for such a short time. I couldn't find any shapeshifting elements though, maybe I didn't get far enough? I kind of suck at stealth games haha

Very well done, this could be expanded into a full game. Nice graphics and great style with the characters.

Very well done. The art is really impressive for a jam and the game is pretty hard, but very fun. Great job!

Ok first when the player told me "I need to find the others" i run into the enemy, so he betrayed me. Good level creation, nice idea, and good use of line of sight

I cry so much. I just have failed for about 10 minutes to get mirage to shapeshift into one of the guards. I found the one guard who got green highlights on mousehover however I clicked every mousebutton to no avail. Tried it with mirage selected and without. Guess there's a bug? Or he can't shapeshift if a wall is in the way? But how do I open the green door then? Wha! Anyways - super cool game. I'm kind of a sucker for cellshading-lowpoly games - so this entry really struck a note. :) Also the control theme was quite nice. Definetely a game which demands a little more time then your regular LD-Entry. I liked it and was sad to give up on completing it. Despite that quite the amazing amount of polish and content (I presume!)

Nice idea. A bit hard to control, but I guess this is part of the challenge. :)

Really well presented game. However, clicking on things is really tough. The controls don't respond very well. If you could clear this up it'd be great!

Really good gameplay mechanics and the presentation was also really nice. I thought the blue line visualizing your path was really cool.

I died a few times when I played as Vice and then I wished the player(s) would move around a little faster.

Overall a really good entry though, congrats!

Nice game! I like your timelapse video, too. I don't know how to stealth at the second enemy (when the enemy stand on the middle of the way). :(

I couldn't figure out how to beat the level where Mirage says "Getting dark isn't it?" at the start so I feel like I kinda missed out not being able to see the third character and all but good mood you achieved either way. The little loop song thing is pretty relaxing and puts some nice tension

Clean and polished entry for a really good idea and game

Lovely stealth game. The engaging gameplay is made that much tense by the awesome music. The art's very nice as well, reminds me of VR missions from Metal Gear Solid. Very solid and exceptionally good for a compo entry.

great characters, nice graphics style, cool gameplay, good job!

The game is pretty fun. I found it a bit tough in some areas but others could completely cheese by just continuing to morph.

Reaaally impressive scripting of the guards, behaviors, and the game overall. Loved the simple aesthetics and nice looping background sounds. A really solid little game. VERY challenging though.

Nice game. A bit hard to control.

Loved the art style for this game, The predictive nature of the mouse clicking was very impressive for a jam game.

Good game here, I wish the player would have the freedom to see the whole of the map or at least a bit further.. Besides that all the best :D

Very impressive compo entry. Nice simplistic 3D graphics and moodsetting music. I really enjoyed the puzzle solving stealth levels.

There was a problem with the camera though. The first time I found the second character, I ran him up to the exit disguised as a guard and deselected him to get the other guy up there. The camera centered between the two, and neither was in frame... so I could no longer select anyone. Didn't find a way to move the camera, so if there is... it's just me who couldn't figure it out.

Either way - a nice and unique stealth game that could definitely be developed further.

Superb idea. Though I kinda laughed when I saw the enemies look at walls :D...

Great level of quality for a compo entry. I really liked the character animations. Good puzzles and solid gameplay. (I noticed some bugs, but very small ones.) I enjoyed playing.

Cool and Wonderful as usual! and sorry to me comment your game so late. feel very happiness that there are this type game to play in LD! it reminds me of the game<Commandos 2> ,my super love!
i found that it was inherit (also have evolved )the style as your previous entries,also your super powerful level-design content, cool fun and complete as usual!
played in web,a liitle bit slow run (i think it is because my computer and web status) so it cause the difficulty a little bit harder,btw,the red enemies really hard to deal with.(but when knock it down,feel very achievability,also when i got the"vice", this game become much fun!)
otherwise,this time i feel these level have more great rhythm and layers(about the visual/ zone-struct),then to my surprise about everything become more vivid and diversification,well done. these all let me feel this game is worth to play more deeply and to collect/save in computer for future ~ cheers! (also hope to see more your great game in future!_)

when the game says "I need to find the others" right when the enemies appeared for the first time, I thought the "others" were these guys in front of me, it's not a good feeling to have misleading information rolling around the game :(

I think the enemies should be more "blocky", they look like floating around, it makes really hard to find out which way the will look or move
look at the first metal gear solid, each enemy have its movement really highlighted, he turns, then stop, he moves foward, then stop, he turns, then stop
get it?

Well, the game is really great but needs a lot of improvements
Nice work! :D
