Pretty nice take on a stealth game. The music really creates a tense mood. I did have to retry the first level a bunch of times because one enemy does a 180' turn without any kind of warning.
I like the idea but the execution was poor. It wasn't really challenging enough. There were hard parts but it was because it was testing my reaction. The 3D modeling was good though, but the UI could probably be redone. But I think if you just polish the game up it would be really good!
Good idea, felt the (J)(K)(L) UI should maybe have been colored that of the unit vision cones to help with remembering which key is which shape. Levels felt a bit long aswell, should have ramped up in size. other than that good job!
The core mechanic works brilliantly, and though I didn't check the later levels, the first ones have enough variety to keep things interesting. Plus their difficulty is fair, making you observe patterns and act with a good timing. It's stealth gameplay brought back to its roots :)
The only issue I have is that since the levels can be quite large, some checkpoints would have made the game more enjoyable. Level 3 in particular was a bit frustrating to me.
Other than that I have no big issues, unlike CasualCat I found it polished enough for a game jam entry.
Level Design was really solid. Really mind melting mechanic. Just wish I didn't have to click menus to retry again each time... keyboard support there would be nice.
@mikeware Yes sorry we forgot to mention them in the description but actually you can press R for restart and N for next level if you have cleared the level. We have now added this information to the description. Thanks for the feedback.
Was slightly confused that I needed to go past the exit to find the diamond on the first level. Though I did appreciate how it introduced the mechanics.
@wboqm: We were trying to think how to introduce the need to collect all the diamonds in order to clear the map. Maybe now in retrospec the exit should have been right next to start. Also the keycard maybe should have looked more keylike and when trying to go through the door it would give info that you need a key.
Anyway thank you and everyone else for trying out our game and thanks for the feedback.
@arzi: yea it takes a bit time to learn the colors of the shapes and the enemy patterns. Also I now think that the order the levels are, is not optimal since maps between 5-8 are shorter but we felt that they needed more skill to clear. Then again the patterns on those maps are easier to recognize.
As for the mac problem, sadly we do not have a mac to test the game with and we are hoping it to just work with unity exporting.
The game probably lags due to the use of hundreds of raycasts per update, which deginitely isn't the best way to do the vision mesh for the robots. Also the garbagecollector might cause the lagspikes.
Thank you for trying out our game and ty for the feedback.
Really really really great stealth/camouflage game! The mechanics, music, sounds, and setups are phenomenal. The visuals could be a bit better, like the designs of the characters, but other than that, great work!
OMG, I hate who ever made all the overlapping levels where one mistake kills you, and you have to go all the way back! Also, the large levels with multiple keys got very confusing. But overall I loved this game! Great amount of content, clever concept, very fun!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Good stealth game with clever use of the theme. My only issue is that some of the enemies turn without warning. It would be useful for either the enemies to turn slower or for you to be able to see ahead in some way.
@DivineOmega yes the turning seems to be the biggest problem with the game, the game turns into memorizing the patterns of the guards. We tried making the camera render bigger area, and it does help a bit, but still the suddenly turning guards seems to be the #1 problem on our game.
Well made game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/7kJFcods5hA
Nice! Interesting new take on the "sneak" concept. Switching shapes wasn't much of a challenge in the first level, but it gets increasingly hard when multiple guards' view regions overlap.
