STORY:

You are Bond, a secret agent (one of the best, according to him..)

This time, he has a new mission: help Junior, the boss's son, to finish his mission.

If Bond want to keep Junior alive, he will have to do everything beforehand.. Thankfully, he can count on Ann to help him !

CONTROLS:

Move with WASD / ZQSD

Aim with MOUSE RIGHT, then shoot with MOUSE LEFT

Interact with buttons, doors, controls panels with MOUSE LEFT

Next line of dialog with SPACE

NOTES: - Don't worry if you don't hear the music, there isn't any - Engine: Superpowers - Font: Indoscreen

Day+1 patch: I made some changes to the game, in order to make it more accessible and pleasant to play. - Maps memory optimization - Added French translation and keyboard layout (AZERTY) - Added "easy" difficulty level, so you can play with the difficulty appropriate for you.

its a fun game with nice graphics. i love the storyline. The only thing that you could improve is the shooting mechanic. It was a bit hard to understand and couldnt shoot without a mouse on mac trackpad. Otherwise great job!! #juniorisok

Who showers with a gun though? hahaha

Nice and well polished game! The storyline is fun, and controls works well. It's sometimes quite hard to aim and some ennemies can shoot you wile you can't see them but that's fine, it does not prevent the game from being playable.

And it's cool to see someone use Superpowers. We tried it some years ago, and the collaborative editor worked really well.

Nice game (and it could be improved with some music). Bien joué !

This game is great! The combat mechanics paired with the camera view makes it really fun, shooting around walls, hiding etc. Good story too! The door wouldn't open on the second level even though I killed all the enemies :(, wanted to play more!

I loved this! The humour and 3D pixel art. Very fun, good job.
With more levels and a background music, I would pay to play more of this.

Had some fun playing it! #JuniorIsOk and that retro/wolfenstein style is really. Cut scenes, story, shooting, you got it all. Next time, try to put a little more time into your ambiant sounds and you'll have a master piece.

Nice work!

Really nice game!! I got sticky playing :) It was quite difficult to see the mouse hints at the very beggining and some targets in the level. Overall a really good game to be done in a gamejam!

Funny story. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/4GNiWeaqklM

#JuniorIsOk - sadly, cause I would rather see him got some lesson out of this :D I really liked Dev breaking 4th wall here and there, it made the game super funny. Also mechanic was simple, yet cool. nothing makes a day better than some shooting and stealth

A well done game with the 48 hours given!
Shooting was a little tricky to pick up, but I got it quick enough.
It adds a lot that time was taken to craft the dialogue, which is the strongest part of this game.

#JuniorIsOk fun story, I wasn't sure where to go at the end, I think I flipped another purple switch and found the exit door so it worked out :)

Very nice :smile: don't know if I like linking to a donation platform... well personal preference I suppose ... and I'm unsure if your are allowed to add an easy mode after submission - well voted ... regardless of those two things :wink: congrats on a very nice entry :thumbsup_tone1:

#JuniorIsOk, I could perfectly identify with Juni- err I mean Boul. In general I loved the dialogue in this, I felt that Ann and Boul had great chemistry, let's hope they'll be fine even in today's job economy.
The gameplay was fun too, I had fun picking off the targets tactically. I died once in the second map, and just barely managed to squeeze a 10%-health-left win in there during my next run, a true nailbiter, good job! A lot of good stuff you managed to pack in here, a really great entry!

I played on Normal difficulty, and actually found it just about right. I got hit by quite a few bullets, but there were plenty of first aid kits to keep me going. If anything, it was a bit easy, but that is something I really appreciate in jam games, since I like to see as much of the game as possible.

The graphics were decent, and the story and dialog were hilarious. I liked that there was a definite and attainable goal - great job putting it all together!

Fun game with good graphics. Perhaps having a background music would make the game a 10. Good implementation of the theme. Good job! #JuniorIsOK

I really like pretty much every aspect of the game. The fact that you managed to put an actual story line is a really nice touch, given the amount of time that we had. As others have said, a fitting background music would have tied everything togheter even more. Excellent job!

Wow, this is sick! I love games that meld 2D and 3D, and you did it beautifully! I like the intro to the game as well (and thank you for allowing me to speed up dialogue with spacebar!!). Controls felt good, aiming was good. Fantastic work. :)

This is a really funny game! I laughed when I had to shoot the guys in the showers, nice job!

Nicely stylized game! Im a fan of the mixing 2d and 3d, though I wish there was a way to change move the camera around. The story added a lot to the experience and I recon adding music would have pushed it above and beyond!
Regardless, I really enjoyed this game, awesome work!

The story was good. The shooting controls cramped my hand a bit (I'm on a laptop) since there is one button you always need to hold down. My main strategy for shooting the enemies was to keep them off screen so they couldn't see me, or to peek around a corner to give me some cover.

Likes: Story, and the art was good. Also #JuniorIsOK

Requests: Sometimes the doors are a little bit hard to identify because the tops are black same as the walls. Would have liked some additional visual difference to help me see doors.

Felt a bit bad shooting the bad guys in the shower. Would have loved some music. The story line was good and I didn't have that much problem shooting. Well done!

Nice game, I feel for Ann and Boul with the way the world is at the moment #JuniorIsOK
Art was nice, a little bit of music would have added to the play through.
The AI felt a bit overpowered, but there were enough HP drops to not worry too much.

Very good entry, good luck with your results.

I loved this game. Humorous and fun to play a spy.
