Heist! by vociferocity

[raw]
made by vociferocity for LD25 (COMPO)
Heist!: a game wherein you steal valuables from a museum in the dead of night, right under the nose of a vigilant security guard. Or a game wherein you're caught, embarrassingly, fifteen seconds into your first theft, and go to jail for life. It's up to you!

Instructions: hold down the left mouse button to move towards the treasure, but don't let the security guard see you! when you let go of the mouse, you'll be instantly disguised, so just don't move while she's looking at you. there are five things for you to steal, but your time is running out! good luck, and have fun :)

Aww, this is cute! Took me a while to figure out what to do though. Still fun!

I went for a concise help page, but maybe...too concise? haha, sorry about that! thanks for playing, though :)

It was a fun little game, the noise got a little confusing at times tough.
The graphics are good.
It could have used some sort of ending.

I was clicking rapidly instead of holding at first, and then wondering why I could only get to the second room, he he he.

I think the mechanic works really well, creating tension between running out of time versus getting caught.

Also, I can't decide whether it would be better if there was a split second bit of feedback before the security guard turns around. Part of the fun is not knowing. :)

Nicely done. Reminds me of that game I used to play with my friends at school. Red Light, I believe. The only thing that threw me off a bit was the way the player character slid along the ground, but otherwise, I liked the art style.

Cute graphics. I found the game a little too simple. I would have liked some indicator that the guard was going to turn around... even a subtle one.

Nice graphics, cool idea and this "I hope she doesn't turn around just now...". Great! :D

Really funny entry, with very charming art. I enjoyed it, even though the gameplay is simple. :) Especially liked how you can disguise yourself as the guard.

Victory! :) I WON!...
Very nice graphics and visual style. Nice idea. Would have liked something to gauge when the security guard was thinking of turning around.

Cute game and a simple mechanic. It's brief, but a nice little experience. Simple audio, but high marks anyway. :)

Cute graphics and nice mechanics. Would be great to play it with the space bar or any other key on the keyboard.
