Fagin by mutuware

[raw]
made by mutuware for LD25 (COMPO)
Erm, more of a prototype than a game... ran out of time.

Probably not that obvious what you do.
You can hide in the gaps between buildings. (Use up arrow)
Then steal from gentleman (hold the down arrow), but don't do it too long or they will notice! Try and find the sweet spot (orange bar).

Could be that HTML5 still does weird things on certain browsers but... I'm not sure what's happening in here :D I had fun lurking in the shadows, though.

I've noticed some scaling weirdness (big pink rectangles!), best to hit F11 and run full screen.

Awesome splash screen but indeed not yet much of a game. Interesting idea though.

No idea how to play - if I move to shadows i cannot get back or do anything :(

A nice idea - took me a while to work out I was supposed to follow the men in order to pick their pockets long enough to get money though. Then I got trapped and then stuck in the building because I faded somewhere there wasn't an alley way :)

Hmmm, Interesting concept, but the execution needs work. Some ways to improve the game:

- the difference between the gentlemen and the cops need to be clearer. It took me three or four tries until I understood why I was dying all the time.

- You don't ever need to leave your hiding role, since pick-pocket works from hiding. Just hide and hold the "down" key.

- Sometimes, if you alert the guards while hidding, they will spaz all over the screen and begin moonwalking! O.o?

- It would be interesting to have some sort of limit (time?) to avoid the "I can hide and steal at the same time, neener neener" thing.

Thanks for the game!

I just hide all the time and stole from the gentlemen while they where passing. Seemed to trigger some bugs tough. But nice idea/concept :)

Also got the pink glitch, but hitting F11 fixed it.

+Pilfer the gentlemen!
+Moonwalking police

Nice idea, needs a little more work to really sell the mechanic, but the idea is there!
