PaperBeatsTyranny by Sébastien Bernery

[raw]
made by Sébastien Bernery for LD32 (COMPO)
In this game, you have to fight against dictatorship by sticking poster on some spot in a city.
Every revolution started with some poster altering people that the government can't be trust ! Or not, but this one will !

There is only 2 level. No time for more.
Controls are classicals : zqsd, wasd or keys. F or SPACE for action and C or G to drop a tool.
If you are lost, use the action with the "!?" cases. It will help.
You'll unlock the Ashament if you have been caught by every single guards.

Press M to mute. Music can be annoying quickly.

Enjoy.

-----
Postcompo FIX : on the last victory screen, text was misplaced (unreadable).

Game feels a little awkward, and honestly may have been better without music at all.

My favourite guard is Bill. On a scale from 0 to 20, he is a very good guard.

A little rough gameplay - nice concept though!

nice little game. art is nice, music seems to fit. guards are easy to avoid.

Interesting concept. Crude graphics (the text is sometimes unreadable on the background and when opening it several times it 'sticks'), but at least the controls work pretty well. I did not succeed in using the cape. I thought I could take off, using the road as a runway...

The genesis of some good ideas here, with nice little touches (such as the guard names and quotes) but a lot of work could be done on the art to improve the look and feel of the game. Best of luck with your future development!

Cool little game. I couldn't really see the sight cone of the guards on a green background. but that actually made it more challenging.

Good work though!

The cape was for reduce the guards reactivity when you walk in their sight (as anyone knowns, it's really hard to see someone wearing a red cape).
Unfortunately, I didn't had time to add game mechanism where the cape is really usefull.

Thanks all of you for your reviews, thanks to you trashcan, I laughed ;-). Ilseroth, I can't agree more, especially on the music, I did it something like one hour before the end with no experience in music (understand, I pressed random notes for half an hour on pixitracker). But I'm really happy just by having produce a music.

Damn you Irvin!!!
I like that all the guards have a unique name and some detail.

I like the idea but am unable to stick a poster? The guard heat is nice as they catch sight of you. The art is a little rough but its a good concept.

Thanks

I liked the cone-of-sight thing as well as the one-item-at-a-time principle. The few sounds in the game were quite fitting while the music was less irritating than I expected it from the description ;)

Fun. I actually liked the slower music which reduced anxiety over getting caught. Had some trouble with posters on the 2nd level and have no idea what that red skirts or lampshades are.

Interesting idea, but a bit frustrating to have to juggle the glue and posters.
