It took some time, but I finally have time to review your game. So - here we go:\r\r\rI won! Yeah, there weren't a lot of levels, but it's enough to find out that the mechanics work well and are fun! When the time started flowing again, it was a cool feeling watching all those enemy agents suddenly fall over.\r\rThe graphics are simple but convey the feeling of walking through a complex. The ties are a nice touch!\r\rThe missing music is a shame though. If you can't make any yourself, I suggest you take a look at http:\/\/abundant-music.com - it's a generator with a surprisingly high quality. The sound effects work quite well though.\r\rTwo suggestions:\r- Add a time limit or something else that is pressuring you. Normally I don't like that, but otherwise the 10-second-stopwatch-reloading turns into a waiting game: If you want to play the game perfectly, don't move and hide until it's reloaded.\r- Make a mini map. It's really easy to get lost in complexes like that if you have no sense of orientation like me. It can be done in minutes by having a second camera that only sees the walls and the player with a really small viewport.\r- Have the enemies follow you when they saw you. You don't even need pathfinding for that: Just let the player leave a trail with a time marker (http:\/\/dragonlab.de\/projects\/ld25\/trail.png). Then you can let the enemy go where he last saw the player and follow his trail.\r\rA fun and interesting entry, if a little bit short. If you make a post-compo version, let me know please!"},{"author_name":"TobiasW","author_uid":"2587","time":"Sep 2, 2013 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1378144620,"text":"Eh, make that "Three suggestions".
