I figured it would be cool to look at the theme in a figurative sense, so I planned out the idea before adding much to the game and decided to give it a sort of narrative structure. Besides that, I don't really know what was going on through my mind when I made this. It's sort of sloppy, but I had fun. Made with Flash 8 Professional.

HAHAHA XD oh my god dude this is hilarious, I could see the whole " beneath the sir-face" coming from a mile away and it was still funny. Really well job. The theme isn't the best here, but the rest of the game truly makes up for it. Great work :)
It was pretty entertaining. I appreciated the humor, and the backward bit.
Near-perfect score from me. Highly entertaining narrative style, and pretty funny at times.
Man, I absolutely love the animation, music and dialog. It would be nice if the platforming sections were a little faster / smoother, but it doesnt detract too much. Nice job.
Theme manipulation was fantastic. Story was interesting, didn't really get why the burglar had the mirror though. Funny when it needed to be, scary when it needed to be. Switching of roles was awesome. So good!
Bahaha, excellent writing and a very twisty narrative. Graphics and animation were all spot on. Very enjoyable.
Games like these are the gems I'm looking for in the giant list of games. I loved everything about it, but the art was my favorite part about it.
FUNNY. GORGEOUS. THOUGHTFUL. ENTERTAINING. GENUINELY CLEVER. 11/10.
holy what??! Sir Face gave me a good scare, and kudos on the drawings!
I could imagine this as an introduction to an even bigger story with even more challenges (the quick-time-event not being shot was unfortunately the only one)
Have you ever played Phantom Trick - Ghost Detective? The storytelling reminded me of that
That was seriously funny and entertaining to watch play out. I'm not sure the 'game' parts of it added anything, but they didn't hurt either.
It's amazing how much personality and character fits into this little game. Excellent!
I enjoyed playing this game! I really liked the sound. Sir Face, very creative. Are all the graphics hand drawn?
Clicking with the mouse and controlling with the keyboard was rough at first, but I got used to it and made the game very interesting.
Ahahahaha, what a game. I was waiting for the twist at the end, "You were the mirror the whole time".
Great stuff, loved the audio and aimations, very funny too. Well done!
coolest combination between story and platforming! seriously funny
That was a ridiculous amount of content for 48 hours!
(Really great art, music & story)
Also well played, pulling in everything together :)
That was really really entertaining.
Sure, simple gameplay and you kind of forced the theme in, but the narrative was really funny. The drawings were as well. Good one.
WOW! Best game so far! This game going to take really high position!
"you kind of forced the theme in" Come on now, that hurts :( If anyone's interested, I have an explanation on my site regarding my game's relation to the theme: http://www.jonochrome.com/tangents/2014-04-27.html
And I've said this elsewhere, but I haven't said it here yet. Everyone who's commented, thanks so much! Your feedback is very encouraging and it makes me glad to have taken part in Ludum Dare and become sort of a part of the community.
best one ive played so far.. loved the story and the animation was great .. good job man :)
I really enjoyed that! Amazing amount of stroy for a LD project, and well finished. I guess it was more an interactive story than a game. I was totaly engaged for the whole experience. Good script. Nice one!
this is my favourite!! loved the stortelling and the artwork.
Delightful! My favourite part was the sound effect of the face flying away at the end.
Can't believe the first commenters said "not great on theme". Idiots, man... idiiiots! Fuckin great game - I would pay cash to have this expanded in to a bigger event.
I'm surprised. I didn't expect such a deep story. It was creative and fun.
Very polished game in every category, good job.
Okay, it clearly lacks gameplay...
BUT DAMN, THAT WRITING. That's really, really good. And the art is super fun, the humourous tone is perfect, the story was cool and it was nice to be reminded not to be an ass full of prejudices.
Incredible work here.
I don't have words to describe what I just played, I only know that I like it! The absolute nonsense humor matched perfectly with the sounds and animation. Excelent job, five stars!
That was a really interesting game. I like the visuals and the story. Was really fun to play. I really like Sir Face, what a name.
I wasn't expecting that.
Nice take on the theme, and good job with the story. It's a shame there is no narrative section in the rating, I don't know where to put all my stars.
Great game! Really nice animations, I'm impressed by everything you've managed to accomplish in 48h.
It's never too much to say that this game is purely awesome from every aspect!
OMG! This was amazing!
When the game started it seemed to be just good... but as the story progressed it got better and better.
The animations were funny, and I really liked the graphics and the music.
Impressive game the story is amazing and everything fits well.
This plot is better than the last 20 movies i've watched. THAT SUSPENSE!
I can't believe you made it in 24h only... this is just amazing
5/all
The writing was amazing... it really pulls you in. It's funny and kind of moving, with the lesson at the end. The graphics were a bit jarring, but I think it fits the tone of the writing. I liked how you guided the player to click on things by highlighting the items. Great job!
With Flash 8? Well done.
It looks good and has some nice twists.
Funny scenes and enough nice sound.
All in all quite an original experience (maybe not really a game, but who cares?)
Wow, this was great! I really liked the storytelling, funny and a good message as well. Like others stated the gameplay wasn't super interactive but I didn't mind it, I wanted to play just so I could see what happens next!
On a side note, did the face do a quick upside-down flip at the last second of the game!? I'm tempted to play the entire game again just to see if I'm not crazy.
how could you think about this kind of story? So interesting and moving.

You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Holy crap that was amazing. It wasn't great on theme, but it was very entertaining and fun in a way that few games with the simple mechanics of this one can manage to pull off. The graphics were perfect for what the mood of the game is, and the detail of walking backwards was a great touch. The music represented the theme very well. Overall this is a very good story, I am wary to say it is a good game, even though it is entertaining, as it doesn't ever present a challenge. I would easily say this is worthy of being called a game if you had to escape the robber instead of being told that you did.
