I honestly really wanted to like this, its a solid concept, the art was decent and the audio was fitting but I got more frustrated with it than enjoyment

Big fan of old MGS on MSX so... löve your concept and spend few time on it like it pal keep it up !

@gear-steak appreciate the constructive criticism! What did you find to be most frustrating?

Really cool game with a great work on the main aesthetic. Controls are smooth and all works as expected. The music is a little bit too repetitive, but in less than 48 hours, you did a solid entry. The way you manage with the theme is pretty interesting - unusual. It reminds me the old games on my Sega Master System. Well done. I wish you the best ++

I like the game but couldnt beat the second level.

This is my favourite entry so far - really nails the theme in my opinion! I got stuck on level 4 as it's not easy to tell what the cowboys range of sight is due it being hidden by the scenery. The art, music, controls and mechanics all combine really well to make a solid entry! Great job!

is there anyone who beats second level? It looks impossible.

Great entry! Love the concept and the artwork. The difficulty felt maybe a little too tough; the timing windows were super precise on some of those levels. But really great stuff!

Very challenging like the good ol' games. love the game idea! Well done!

A really interesting take on the theme and the mechanics work well. But maybe the difficulty is a little bit too high, the field of vision often moves too fast to even react. If you look at a lot of established sneaking games, they are usually about moving slow and precise rather than slipping through cracks.
But this shouldn't take anything away from what you have accomplished! This is a fun and challenging little game. And it is pretty too!

Really liked the game. I think your timings are really tight so some screens are very difficult but The overall mood, graphics and gameplay are nice. Good Job!

I am so sorry I made it so hard :cry:
There are 14 levels total if anyone has the patience, hahaha.
Appreciate all the feedback, keep it coming!

Ah ah ah, I made a very similar game called "Billy The Man". The idea of taking down posters is good. The music it is really good, the whistle OMG, perfect! However it was impossible to beat the second level!

Haha I loved this, the graphics are amazing! A little frustrating / hard at times, but really fun overall. My favourite so far!

This was awesome and a special one throughout the jam. Quite unforgiving but the instant respawn helps a lot.

love the idea. it is hard but i enjoyed it

and finally won the game :)

@pilly so the cone of visions were too large compared to the levels themselves, the players movement was also too slow compared to the patrolling guards and when compared to say metal gear the guards don't patrol in workable fashions. Were they to move in squares or lines that they stopped and waited at the ends of all of my frustrations would have been alleviated

Dam this game is hard ! I'm a big fan of pixel art and I think these graphics are really good, I appreciate the reference with the first Zelda's. The concept is quite simple but good. An amazing work for a compo, big respect.

@gear-steak I have embarrassingly never played Metal Gear, so I'd do best to study up on the classics if I'm to take this game further. I really appreciate the feedback!
