Found Bigfootage is a sort of reverse-stealth game.
You are Bigfoot. People keep bothering you with their video cameras. And they won't leave until the camera is full. But you hate being recorded. So, you have to trick them into recording a blurry, grainy mess. Reveal yourself, then disappear into the forest. If you're successful, you'll remain as a blurry rumor. Fail, and you might end up on the home page of youtube.
When an enemy sees Bigfoot, they will start filming and you will get points. Your score multiplier is based on how bad the footage is. Longer distances will increase your multiplier. The multiplier will also get +1 for every tree or bush between Bigfoot and the camera.
You get a letter grade at the end of each level, and all of your grades will be displayed at the end of the game. If you get straight-As, then you did as good as I did. If you get an even higher score, those As will become A+ with more and more +s for higher and higher scores. If you beat the game, post a comment with your final score!
There is a minor bug where the "video" bar above enemies will always appear empty after the first level. I'll probably fix that eventually.
Controls: arrow keys or WASD for movement. Spacebar or enter progresses through the title/intro/win/lose screens.
Tools:
I made the game in Unity with C#. No plugins or Asset Store stuff.
Vector graphics were made with Inkscape, and a few were modified with GIMP. The Inkscape .svg files are included with the source.
The music was made with Musagi. The .smu file is included in the source, but to hear some instruments you will have to download the Famisynth VST plugin here: http://www.geocities.jp/mu_station/vstlabo/famisynth.html
Gifs were recorded using Gifcam, available here: http://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/

Nice graphics and a neat music trick. I quite liked the mechanic, would love to see more features, like different kinds of photographers and such!
Interesting game. I really like the idea. The dynamic sountrack was great as well, I found myself using it to gauge distance from cameramen.
I really like this entry! Very unique concept and gameplay. The movement is a little slow, which makes the gameplay slow. I really like the visual effects and the blur of Big Foot. The audio really fit the game, I wish there were sfxs though. Good Job. 4/5
I loved how you got blurrier the farther away you were from the cameras.
Interesting gameplay, but the BigFoot is a little bit too slow. I liked the graphics and the sounds, I also liked the way he "vanish" in the forest.
Nice entry, Congrats =)
This was awesome! Great idea and loved especially the dynamic music mechanic! congrats!
hilarious! love the blurring of bigfoot and the camera chasing concept. well done
I thought this was a clever idea. Nicely put together too, including the hazy effect for the main character.
I really like the way you used audio and video cues to indicate distance to cameramen, as opposed to UI cues. The music and blur effect are brilliant.
Really like this one, graphics are really nice overall and the ability to increase your score by hiding behind more obstacles is cool
Super funny. I never knew I'd be so good being a bigfoot. I'm just an 8
This game was actually very fun! I really liked the blurred image of Big Foot used for the player, and the music was pretty catchy. Great concept and nice submission.
Funny and enjoyable! I like the procedural nature of the music - adding to the song when different things happen.
The mechanic is well thought out, and works very well with this Jam's theme. Nice job!
Cool little game had a heck of a time when there was 6 of them cameramen :)
Excellent work, especially for compo! I loved your take on this theme, I laughed even at the initial screen shots! Spot on, good job!
A good game! I also like the blurry player character, and how the music changes dynamically. It is fun to play too!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. 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.
Unique mechanic! I'm not very good at it though.
