An attempt at the "Reverse" theme from Ebitengine game jam 2023.
You play as the NPC role trying to catch a stealth player before the timer ends, and preventing him from reaching a goal at the same time.
A bit of hide and seek and stealth.

  • Gameplay / Tips 
    - Tase the player character by getting close enough before the timer ends
    - Protect the goal (yellow dot on minimap) from getting reached by the player character
    - Avoid big falls / running too much, because they make noise and allow the player to hear you and localize you
    - You can scan the whole map's area when your ability is up in order to spot the player
    - Use the camera, zoom to scout for the player and try to trap him
    - Zoom in, if you need accuracy for difficult jumps
  • Controls

Better in full screen. Better on desktop (better mouse support).

  • Notes
    - Mouse capture support might be broken on browser (so you need to use the arrow keys or use the desktop build)
    - It might lag on some specs, I couldn't optimize more during dev time
    - 2nd level is actually not a second level, just the agent's color is changing, nothing else is different atm
    - No music, missing sfx, only one actual level, game's not finished :)
