Fast Escape

Stealth game without hiding.

NOTE: There's a bug on certain computers where when using the smoke bombs, the game kinda freezes, where the player can't move until a certain time where it just teleports on the direction you were trying to move (or at the beginning of the level), sometimes with the camera vibrating (quickly moving up and down small distances). This doesn't happen on my computer, some smoke particles should appear which would make you invisible to enemies and you should be able to move smoothly. In case you have the bug, I would recommend trying to play the game with another browser, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN IN FIREFOX.

Made for the GMTK game jam, my first game jam ever, the theme was "Genre without mechanic", which means I have to take a genre and remove an essential part, for example, shooter without shooting, platformer without jumping, etc...

I came up with the idea of a stealth game where you can't hide, this would make the game more fast-paced and exciting, to make this I added abilities such as Slow Motion mode, to allow for quick movement between enemies and reduce the pace a little bit, and the Smoke Bombs, which allow you to quickly move through vision zones, and so that the game would keep fast-paced, I added some sort of "watchtower" which would follow the player, this way you always had to be moving forward, and added a level of repetition and mastery (which is the core engagement of stealth/ninja games in my opinion) to the levels.
