The Thief by N0_Named_Guy
AUDIO SPEKAERS NOTE: THIS GAME HAS SOUND AND NO OPTION TO TURN IT OFF!!!
EDIT: You guys gave me a DDoS. Don't know if I should be mad, or flattered... There's a dropbox link
EDIT2: Please note that this is a stealth game. The fact that enemies chase the thief (and sometimes outrun him) is not a bug, it's a feature. Avoid getting near the guards.
You're in control of a thief, who steals safes.
After you get the safe, you must escape within 10 seconds, or else, you'll lose.
You must be cautious of the guards. If they see you, they'll immediately chase you...! Avoid running into one of them, so plan your routes carefully.
The Thief runs on devices that support the HTML5 specifications. To control the thief, you can use:
Your mouse: by click and/or dragging
Touch: if you're using a tablet or mobile phone
Keyboard: WASD, ZQSD and Arrow keys are supported
I hope you have fun playing The Thief!

Now why can't I get that safe ? XD
Are the guards all supposed to be Mexican and Asian? Either I'm a bad person or you are.
Also, sometime enemies can see you through walls and will attempt to erase the wall with their face. Rather silly :P
It's pretty impressive to see a stealth game that works in a compo like this. I enjoyed the experience. There were times that I wished that i could just outrun the guards but their amped up speed when I have the safe really helps to drive home that this is a stealth game.
5/5 overall. I think the graphics were perfectly adequate but were the weakest part of the game. It's strength was where it mattered: this was fun! Nice work.
And, thanks again for livestreaming my game. That was really enjoyable and informative to watch.
I have to say that the walking sound was very annoying and could be removed. All other sounds were nice, though. The visual cues, including the exclamation mark and the screen shake, were great and really helpful.
All in all, well done. Very difficult, though! I was not good at getting far in it.
More levels of this will be great!
I liked the level design, too bad that the game is short, I want to play more levels! :P (or at least some levels really hard >D )
Awesome stuff though - I played it for ages.
I just found it frustrating, they always saw me now matter where they was going. I had to turn the volume down because of the footsteps sound. It sounded like the same sound over and over, perhaps you should have recorded a few footsteps sounds and changed them about.
It still had something about it I liked, but I gave up really quickly mainly because of the difficulty.
The core is solid, add a few more levels and maybe some twists (like new enemies or fake safes) and you have a pretty good online/mobile game.
Congratulations!
The only thing I found a bit odd, was that the guards escape their "chase the theif"-state; feels like they should keep chasing you or trigger an alarm.
However, great entry!
It wasn't immediately obvious what the colored zones were. I also really feel like the audio and graphics aren't doing your gameplay justice. Overall it was very fun. I felt like the third level was much more difficult than the last one. Also running back to the exit gave me a pacman vibe.
But I liked the concept, and the 10 seconds limit is really well used ; it adds a nice touch to the game.
I really like the use of the 10 seconds and the shaking effect. It creates tension and also some stealth feeling, but I miss some way to know the guard detection zone.
But nice game. ^^
