Post-mortem
Description
CONTROLS:
- WASD - Move
- Space - Eat food
- 7 - Restart the game
Move to the painting of the same color to be "invisible" :O
Originally the plan was:
- Stealth game
- You change color by eating different foods
- You hide from guards and sentinels by going to a painting with the same color
The weekend was busier than expected, and I wasn't able to give this jam as much time as I would have wanted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I hope you enjoy this small tech demo ^^
The idea for the jam came from "The Ghost's Dinner," a children's book by Jacques Duquennoy that I loved to read growing up.
Fun Fact: I didn't loop the background music. Why? Because this game should not take you more than 1 minute
Feedback
Summary

Reviewers appreciated the ghost character and the potential for the game to evolve into a full stealth game with levels and progression. However, several comments noted the game felt incomplete, likely due to the 48-hour jam time constraint. Overall, players are excited to see further development beyond the jam.

Lv. 5It's a shame this is not complete and playable, but it was an interesting tech demo. The opacity change was nice and subtle when hiding, and I can imagine this working really nicely as a proper stealth game. You could even add levels and progression of sorts :) Adorable art style and nice music. Good job!
