I liked it. Two concerns:
1. A "dash" button would kick ass, to sneak up really close behind guards quickly.
2. Please allow us to remap the movement buttons from WASD to the arrow keys. I use a left handed mouse.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've uploaded a new version. You can now move with either the arrow keys or WSAD. I'm not sure about the dashing thing - a lot of the levels rely on a certain walking speed for their difficulty and to allow the player to dash at will would ruin them.

It's a fun little game.

Here are my niggles:
1. Sneaking pass the guards is fun, but I need some fast pace action to break up the slow sequences. Runing away from something, shanking a guard, something besides sneaking around.
2. The controls are too complicated. All you need are the directional buttons; the mouse adds a level of difficulty that isn't needed.

Have you by any chance played "It Came From The Desert" on the Amiga? The screen shots kind of remind me of a subgame, one of my favs actually. I'll have to check your game out!

The ending could have been a little more interesting, but really cool game nontheless!

I'm surprised no one else complained about this, but none of the graphics except for the people actually showed up. All I saw were white blocks.
