The graphics are well done, though everything is a little small.

Doubling the screen size wouldn't be a bad idea but could pose a problem with some smaller screens. I like the stealth gameplay that makes the player wait for the right moment, but I found the Arrowmen to be a bit overpowered with being able to walk through buildings. The music is relaxing with aids with the required patience. I rarely found myself using the disguise mechanic however, and there was a bit of lag with the menus and restart screens.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>~AlucardX60"},{"author_name":"soy_yuma","author_uid":"7620","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 8:46pm","epoch":1355863260,"text":"Enjoy it a lot!

Upgrades were meant to be part of the game, but unfortunately we didn't have time to implement that. The Arrowman was meant to follow without jumping buildings, but I didn't get the AI right so it became &quot;jumping&quot; instead :S"},{"author_name":"iandioch","author_uid":"13363","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1355952480,"text":"Really fun! It's a little hard to see if you're disguised or not, but it had some great strategy bits :D And bonus matter for visiting the goats was a great idea! Loved the art too - pixely but arty. The stone was a little bit repetitive, it might've been an idea to have a few different ground textures."},{"author_name":"amidos2006","author_uid":"2510","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 8:53am","epoch":1356166080,"text":"Nice game :) hard but nice :)"},{"author_name":"Hatscat","author_uid":"10471","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 10:06am","epoch":1356170460,"text":"Cool game, nice idea"},{"author_name":"Bullseye8841","author_uid":"7277","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 8:44pm","epoch":1356208740,"text":"Simple and enjoyable.

It's the blueish metal thingie\r\n# How does the disguise work?: when you press the Z key it will activate (unless it's in cool down) a short disguise that lasts only a fraction of a second.
