Fun lil stealth game. :> I enjoyed the different mechanics like the jammer, leaning around corners and dodging lasers. Getting caught felt quite frustrating tho as you had to play from the start again. While that does add to the tension of things, since you don't wanna get caught and start all over, having to listen to all the intro dialogue and not being able to crouch out until it's finished does suck a bit. ^^ The voice acting itself adds a really nice touch tho. ^^ Just would have wished for a stronger tie in of the game to the furry theme.
Thank you for the feedback ! Glad you enjoyed my jammer mechanic. I had fun designing and implementing it to the game with the effects on screen and sound effects.
On the topic of dialogue and failing, I think I clearly underestimated how frustrating restarts are after getting caught. Because the tutorial is short, I did not add checkpoints to it (although having one before the lasers would be welcome). I might remove the collision box that forces the player to wait for the first dialogue to finish, or just skip it entirely if it has already been played before.
I plan to expand the game in the future to add new mechanics, some real levels outside of the "VR training" and the furry lore that I've been writing in my project notes.
Interesting interpretation and cool idea to do a stealth gameplay, the voice acting also adds some narrative and works for a tutorial. Sadly I got a pretty annoying bug where my camera wont stop moving to the right on the browser, and the worst problem is, what we often underestimate, coming back to the beggining where we must WAIT for all the tutorial to end before being able to enjoy the game again just kills too much of the fun :(
I still find the tutorial and mechanics well made with some challenge!
Props for the voice acting! Just wish I could skip the dialogue to have a quicker retry, after messing up... Definitely a nice theme!
And I am waiting for the update that gives you the shrinking ability to get through the lasers, haha!
Thanks for the feedback, it's my first ever game and I didn't expect to do that well on a 9-day time window, especially on english voice acting.
The skip dialogue feature is definitely something I look forward on implementing later during development. I kinda know how painful it gets since I had to wait for the dialogue every time I was testing the game.
I talked about the shrinking thing as a joke, but I guess that could be funny if it was real... Maybe in a future update, who knows...
Interesting looking stealth game, that could do with some checkpoints! Lovely work though! Great voiceacting.
Interesting spy-like stealth game! I'll be revisiting it, and look forward to see what it all has in store. Overall will be looking forward to a checkpoint pass / dialogue skip button update. Getting caught is very
