Really unique take on the theme based on the games I've seen so far, I hadn't even considered 'depth of field'! Gameplay was nice though I'd have liked some feedback to let me know I was succeeding vs failing (I was beginning to wonder if I was taking photos of someone just dressed like the target by accident.) Though I can see how that might break immersion and can understand why you didn't add it.
very cool game design idea. As improvement point I would say to improve the main menu but overall the game is very well. Games are a bit short. Missing a bit of feedback.
Great Work! Really cool idea and i really like how the game works with the blurring. Only thing i wish for is more gameplay and levels and different persons to find but that only underlines how well the idea has already been implemented!
Cool little game! I enjoyed the theming and art style. It seems like if you click right at the start you take a picture that is always rated excellent? (Or there is something about the rating system I don't understand...).
A really cool game and idea! I love the voice lines, haha. Also the guy I am taking pictures of... he's kinda familiar.... :-) I also like the idea of "paying" with battery power for photos, this encourages me to make every shot count and not mindlessly take pictures until I get one that fits.
But then, I can focus the camera perfectly, and just spam LMB to get a lot of great pictures. Maybe if there were multiple people to photograph, this would prevent this? Anyways, great game, mood and style!
This is my best result of LMB spam:

(sorry for the shameless plug, but we had the same idea. in our game we also have to adjust the focus of a camera, lol :D )
I like you're idea! Very simple tutorial, hahah :) It would be cool to add restart button if you loose, I think. Also if a player have to take a picture of random guys, the gameplay could be more various. But still I enjoyed it very much!
Funny short game! The problem is that once you have him in your vision you can spam the picture button. It would be fun if you had more targets to photograph. The sound of the camera zooming in and out is a bit annoying, but the voicelines were funny. Also, I really like this use of the theme. Good job!
@coda-highland Lol I am also suprised that I opted out on graphics! I used "stolen" placeholder graphics until very end of the development so I must have forgotten in the submission that all art was remade in the end... Sleep deprivation.... :D

I love it when people have creative takes on the theme, and this definitely fits the bill. Well done!
The depth of field effect looks really good, too. I'm surprised you opted out of being rated on Graphics.
I wasn't able to hear any voice lines, oddly. I could hear the camera zoom and shutter effects.
