Understanding the enemy mechanics was a fun thing to do, trying to sneak past everyone was fun as well. The controls are nice, the movement feels fluid but maybe a bit slow overall. I love the characters you develop and I had a good time. The only thing I would change is to introduce some kind of checkpoint system because it felt incredibly punishing being caught a bit into the level and having to start all over again. Other than that, great stealth platformer. May Michael get his freedom.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1082402,"author_name":"loco","author_uid":"loco","epoch":1728304718,"text":"Maybe need some checkpoint.\nThe game is difficult and I cannot even pass the first three enemy 0.0","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1085995,"author_name":"Wispeh","author_uid":"wispeh","epoch":1728347805,"text":"Refreshing to see a stealth platformer in a game jam, especially with a more whimsical feel.
