nice game

But I feel like in playing as a security guard, the game isn't very reversible

Developer

I see the reverse as being those top-down stealth games (often mobile games) where you have to sneak around enemies with cone vision in front of them as they patrol around a map and chase you when you enter their cone vision. I reversed the roles so you play as this "enemy" with the cone vision and patrol around to find the intruder. Thanks for playing!

Loved the design and the aesthetics!

Great game! You could add more levels with multiple thieves.

Too easy, but the idea is nice and the execution is clean. Nice work!

we actually had a very similar idea during brainstorming. It's great to see it executed! I pretty quickly found a way to abuse the vision cone by moving my mouse in circles really quickly. Making the character always face the mouse or make it turn really slowly could have prevented it and might have added a nice little level of complexity :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I'm planning on continuing to play around with this idea and develop it further after the jam ends so this will be very useful to test out.
