Night has fallen, and your true life begins. As a cunning black cat, the world of shadows is your playground and your sanctuary.
\nIn Shadow Prowler, your goal is simple: navigate a series of treacherous rooms to steal every last delicious fish. But you are not just a cat; you are a creature of the night, and your greatest ally is the darkness itself.
\nGameplay\nYour survival depends on stealth. Stick to the shadows to become invisible, a fleeting specter in the gloom. You must be quick, quiet, and clever to succeed.
\nThe house is not empty. Watchful dogs patrol the floors, their flashlights cutting through the safety of the dark. Get caught in their beam for even a second, and your nightly hunt is over! Race against the clock to secure your prize before time runs out.
\nFeatures
\nClassic Stealth Action: Easy to learn but challenging to master. Every step counts!
\nUse the Environment: The level is a puzzle. Use patches of shadow to create a safe path to your goal.
\nOptional Online Mode: You don’t have to prowl alone! Connect online to see other players as ghostly cats racing through the same level in real-time. Compete for the best time or simply enjoy the shared, silent hunt.
\nSharpen your claws, trust in the shadows, and prove you are the ultimate Shadow Prowler!
\nControls: Use the Arrow Keys or WASD to move.

I would’ve like some sound, perhaps a bit better graphics and more levels… Good luck!

But I found I was getting caught when I clearly wasn’t within a dog’s vision cone and other times I was in the cone I wasn’t caught.

\nYou had 9 kB left over, you ought to have added more levels and audio.
\nAlso not sure if this is a problem on my end or what, but this error appeared in the console:\ngame.js:291 Could not establish WebSocket connection: ReferenceError: PartySocket is not defined

\nWatching the YouTube trailer made me think wow you did all that in 13k :)
\nThe stealth aspect is fun, but I’m sure I got spotted a few times even though I wasn’t in the “torchlit” area
\nPretty easy to play with just the one level

I think I spotted a few problems with how consistently the spotlights caught the cat, but otherwise it was great fun.
\nFuture directions could include random placement of fish and flashlight guards, and of course more maze levels. But most importantly, we need special cat powers to really bring home the theme.
\nGood stuff!

You’re absolutely right about the spotlight consistency—we’ll be looking into smoothing that out.
\nI love your suggestions! Random fish and flashlight guards would definitely add replayability, and special cat powers sound like the purr-fect way to expand the theme. More maze levels are already on our roadmap, so stay tuned.
\nAppreciate the walkthrough link too—it’s always awesome to see how players experience the game. Thanks again for the encouragement!

More intricate graphics, animations, more levels, audio, powerups, etc. would’ve greatly improved on it. There was a lot of space left within the size limit so more content could’ve been included.
\nGetting caught seemed too random, the dogs would sometimes see me way outside of their light cones.
\nI don’t get how the online feature works so I didn’t try that.
\nWell done releasing the game, good luck in the compo!
