Played the HTML5 version and had a really good time! The graphics were simple but effective, wished there could've been some kind of sfx/music even if it was stock. I also loved the look of the characters. Great entry :)

I enjoyed your take on summoning. I think the art is simple and effective. There's lots of color and everyone stood out enough to distinguish the target. I almost wish I could run after them as well even with having the disguise mechanic. Great job.

Cool concept. Wish there were some sound effects and background music.

Very cool! I love the idea of having to hunt down a target with the only info being their appearance.

The main issue I noticed was the AI pathfinding when they try to run away from me. Most of the time, they ended up running straight into me. I would suggest having them only choose a move location if that location is closer to the AI than it is to the player. That way the AI is always running away from the player.

Well done! This was a very unique take on the theme!

I love the use of the theme. It would have been nice if there were sounds and a visual indicator showing you were disguised.

A fun little game, Sound effects and music would make it even better but understandable to not have the time for that.
The graphics are quite effective, simple but nice!. Well done!

I like this take on the theme. Everything is very colorful, which makes distinguishing the people possible but still challenging. I think the enemies running away could have been based on line of sight instead of distance, that way you could do more sneaking around in this awesome map. Nice job overall!
