Omnomnomnomnom. A nice entry. :) Now for the bad :p Your idea was great, but I thought it wasn't executed as best it could be. For example, while things like slow movement and enemy placement which forced you to walk around the whole screen are great for prolonging gameplay, I started to feel more like it was a waiting game. An easy way to combat this, would have been to make Z lunge in the direction you are moving, when you aren't locked on to anything, to speed it up. Overall, presentation was nice."},{"author_name":"SaintHeiser","author_uid":"14848","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 2:41am","epoch":1346466960,"text":"I like stealth gameplay.

We started off with the initial idea of a game based on an alien that would eat people to evolve into a more powerful lifeform, and in the end we cut the evolution side of things due to lack of time. Nonetheless, we ended up with a fun (IMHO) little stealth-puzzle game.\r\n\r\nUse furniture and walls for cover as you sneak up on the enemies and then lunge for the kill. The Blob will glow and make a noise when you're close enough to eat enemies. If an enemy sees you, then you need to get into cover before they shoot you.
