Master Thief by Kareemroks101

[raw]
made by Kareemroks101 for LD28 (COMPO)
Controls:
WAD / Space / Arrows to move

You are a thief who has been hired to steal some valuable gems, however you are also one of the worst thieves that ever lived. Every time you steal something, you manage to set off the security alarm, and it this case, the security will kill you. You have one minute to escape the area alive or the job is a bust.

Just as a side note, the exit is randomly placed, so if you found it easy the first time, try it again and see if you can find it in time!


Uses 2 libraries:
- A framework I've been working on called JGame (https://github.com/kareemroks101/JGame)
- An audio playing library called TinySound (https://github.com/finnkuusisto/TinySound)

This was originally compiled for Java 1.7, recompiled it for 1.6, so it should work now.

Runs quite badly, and it's strange how everything moves when you move/jump, but an interesting idea. Alarm scared the crap out of me when it came on!

heh, fun game... alarm sound was a bit much, but it was nice to have SOME sound (many games, including mine, don't have any!)... simple story, with basic platforming... only died once, so I did pretty good!

It's a shame it only had two levels. Great fun though!

it runs very well on my machine. Character animations are great. I like the level intro sequences with the boss. Good font selection. :D

I liked this a lot. Level 2 was actually quite hard! Always died before my minute even ran out. Wasn't sure if there was actually a way to avoid the bullets. Only thing is, there are holes in the story! Why would the thief steal the gems for someone else and not just take it for himself? Hehe. :)

The controls felt really good and the limited field of view was a nice touch. I think it was too easy to get away - I would have enjoyed less enemies and more platforming when escaping, but I still enjoyed playing.

Pretty good game, the sounds are super loud, pretty nice graphics. Very funny story. As others are saying; I am getting TERRIBLE FPS, MAYBE 3FPS. Oh well. Very nice and polished menu Keep it up!

Holy crap, that alarm really makes your heart pump! I find that the enemies are too much. I died mostly with the enemies than with the time up.

great work on this! i love the idea of having the gem be super easy to get and having the escape be so difficult. great concept and i like the time spent on the little dialog parts to build the story

Wonderfull! Love the intro dialogue. Gave me quite a laugh. Especially all those turrets shooting in your face made me smile. Good job!

Updated the game with lowered volume on the alarm, never realized how loud it was when I was testing it here.

The first time I touched the gem I expected the level to end. Instead the alarms went off and guns popped out everywhere. Scared the poop out of me.

Nice job! I like how intense it gets when you touch the diamond. Pretty cool!

If you have time please consider rating my game! I would really appreciate it :)

The fixed resolution made the bottom 10% or so of the screen not show. The alarm sound scared the shit out of me the first time as well. Apart from that it's a pretty cool game.

Not much in the game, the exit seems to be randomized so escaping is mostly about luck. Nothing interesting in the levels it seems like the size was only to make searching for the exit take longer with many long dead ends.

It's not and untitled alpha. Points for that.

A fine concept, but gameplay, to me, is too simplistic.

Take some pointers from games like N, Mark of The Ninja and Stealth Bastard.

Predictable enemies which are relatively easy to bypass on their own, yet in combination with each other create interesting and challenging dynamic situations.

More interactions with the world (Doors, switches, airducts, traps, keys, robots... You name it) which can be tied to overall objectives (go there, steal that) or to sub-objectives (how do I get past this turret?, how do I open this door?).

A more refined and complex movement system (sliding, crouching, running, wall/roof-climbing, etc.) and/or gadgets (grappling hook [ninja rope], stun/emp. devices, smoke bomb, hacking device. etc.)

And possibly stealth, even if the main character is a master thief only in sarcastic sense.

The dialog was hilarious. Some kind of enemy other than turrets would've been fun but oh well.

Good start, but on continuation should add a level of skill to avoiding turrets.

Cool main character, Controls were OK, game was fun. Some kind of hint where the exit will be would have been good though.
