Awesome little game! Loved the concept and though it took me a couple attempts to get the hang of it, I think the controls and mechanics are good.
I'd love to see an expanded entry with additional levels which get harder. Perhaps the teacher moves between desks or class size increases?
The 3D environment was just lovely and the music was sublime. Really good entry
Thank you for playing! Yes we had planned other teachers with different movement mechanics and AI patterns just as you suggested. We actually had a visual cone representing where the teacher was looking earlier but it was a bit too easy... in hindsight we probably should have left it in! :)
Clever take on the theme. Never seen it coming. Reminiscing of old days past. 3D games on a game jam are always so hard to accomplish due to time constraints, but you did it perfectly. Congrats!
Great game - really enjoyed it. Felt a little short (but I understand it's a game Jam etc...) .. and it has a lot of scope to be taken further. Well done guys!
This was really cute! It took me a minute to get the mechanic figured out, but once I did I had a lot of fun playing it. Great theme and really nice execution! Love the style.
Thanks for playing! Yes, I think based on the comments and watching some friends play through the game we've been able to nail down where the sticking point is. Visually it's hard to tell where the teacher is looking and exactly how far away she can be before you are safe to pass again. Thank you for playing!
Great job. A really well fleshed out and complete game. Nice!
Love it! Great game jam submission! Start to finish, well executed idea and nice polish.
This absolutely oozes style and is way more polished than I would expect for a gamejam entry. Really had fun baiting the teacher, running around her, and discovering the next note! Can't wait for the powerups to get included.
