Honestly, I absolutly loved your game. Even though it does not fit this steryotypical feel of an arcade style game, it feels like something you could really polish and turn into a complete game, with a campaign and maybe a fun little selling mechanic (something I hope to implement further in my own game). I really liked your game, all the mechanics felt very polished and unique, I have no idea how you pulled off that camera spot effect, was it raycasting? Good Luck with your results!

This was a cool game! I love stealth games, and this functioned better than some games I've paid money for :P I did get a little stuck on walls occasionally, but never while I was doing anything important so it wasn't that bad. Very well done, and I liked the atmosphere, art, and music of each area. Good job!

This is a nearly completely game. The atmosphere of the game is perfect. When the alarm rings, I also become nervous and wanna run out. hope more levels and character skills.

@moddingmachine thanks for playing! We iterated on the camera lighting effect a lot as we couldn't work out how to make it exactly the way we envisioned. The system that we landed on uses a janky mess of lights and shadow casters from the Unity URP, but because it's a jam game, as long as it works, it works! The actual player detection is a separate system, using a linecast between the camera and the player to detect if there are any obstacles blocking the view :)

Not 100% convinced of adherence to the theme, but no matter; this was highly enjoyable. I'm a sucker for a good stealth game and I thought this was brilliant.

I'd love to see more of this; this could be extended into a general heist game with patrolling guards, etc rather than just security cameras.

Excellent work. I'm a sucker for anything 2D and stealthy. Reminds me a little of MSX Metal Gear.

Really like the level designs, loads of good fakeout routes and really well put together.

Forcing the player to remember the route they took in order to escape on time was a nice touch.

Brilliant art and animation, really atmospheric.

Nailed the polish on everything. Thematically the concept is a stretch, but the actual game is well built, start-to-finish. The 2D lighting effects really helped sell the stealth gameplay. Great job.

Really really great mood with the audio and especially the graphics! The gameplay was quite fun too, honestly the only real stretch for me was the theme. I had a lot of fun with this one, great job!

Great game. Retro graphics were great, though there were a few times when items (tables, chairs) blended into the floor and I got caught up trying to go around them. Music was great in building the tension, and I always jumped when I triggered the alarm. Very well done!

I loved playing through the 3 levels. The level design is clever and allows shorter return paths! Congrats :)
