You should add some randomness in how and when they turn and change directions. Could be a few times in the game, and that would add to the overall intensity of the game. Other than that, this is a very good game.

The voice acting was on point and it was such a funny premise for a stealth game! Although the art ranged from great to alright it was very consistent in style which made the changes in art quality harder to spot, so extra points for that. The controls also felt quite floaty, like everything was made of ice, but other than that I really enjoyed it, well done!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tuteupaituamae","author_uid":"1012357","time":"2017-05-03T12:40:57Z","epoch":1493815257,"modified":1493815257,"text":"Nice game art bro\n\nPlease hate us on https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/38\/deep-bottom","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MrGussio","author_uid":"1000706","time":"2017-05-03T13:33:32Z","epoch":1493818412,"modified":1493818412,"text":"Great game, really liked the graphics and sound effects.

I had a lot of fun playing it and there is a decent amount of content. The art is pleasing and fits the funny tone of the game nicely. I also enjoyed the voice acting at lot!\n\nAs has been mentioned already, I found the player movement to be floaty and a little slow. The only other suggestion I would make would be to add some kind of visual warning that an enemy is about to turn around. This would avoid the frustration of getting caught without being given the chance to evade.\n\nAll in all, solid entry. Keep up the good work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kothead","author_uid":"1005734","time":"2017-05-03T14:06:51Z","epoch":1493820411,"modified":1493820411,"text":"Decent visuals and great sound effects.

Loved the sound effects! But same remark about the movements of the player. \n\nAlso, I got stuck twice in the first supermarket level because I was in sight of a red guy, but the guy could not reach me because of the angle and had to restart. But, hey, that's a Game Jam ! Anyway, nice work given the time at hand. \n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hlavik","author_uid":"1000265","time":"2017-05-10T14:37:39Z","epoch":1494427059,"modified":1494427059,"text":"Great game, love the mechanics.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Alexandr Rum","author_uid":"1014322","time":"2017-05-10T15:03:16Z","epoch":1494428596,"modified":1494428596,"text":"I do not really like top-down quests and RPG-like games.

Had to mash a lot of buttons before I found it, lol. Too many LD games played this week for me to have any clue as to what 'standard' controls are anymore! Also, kinda strange the the tutorial for the Small Mart gameplay section to happen on the second visit to the store. Actually, I'm not really sure why there is the first visit section at all.\n\nOne more nit to pick: I did not like the slide-y movement at all. Not just from a control standpoint, but the retro visuals really play against expectations for this sort of movement. It was very jarring and strange.\n\nAlright, now that that's out of the way, I loved both the gameplay and backstory\/fluff! Totally wasn't expecting a stealth-ish experience from the screenshots. Graphics and audio were top notch!\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sebbernery","author_uid":"1000492","time":"2017-05-14T12:56:50Z","epoch":1494766610,"modified":1494766610,"text":"Nice take on the theme.
