Description
"The enemy is a homicidal CCTV camera and it's stalking you with a deadly laser beam. The only way to defeat it is to get right up close and personal. It's like playing hide-and-seek with HAL from 2001." - JOYSTIQ.COM9/10 - WWW.EUROGAMER.NET

"inspired by retro games of the pre-NES era, Surveillant is unlike anything most iOS game enthusiasts will have encountered before. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good game of Hide-and-Seek and doesn’t have an aversion toward tilt controls" - IFANZINE.COM
ABOUT SURVEILLANT:
Inspired by the 8-bit classic 'The Sentinel', Surveillant is a stark and stylish 'stealth-em-up' with simple tilt & tap controls. 12 challenging levels (3 in the free version) of tension and vigilance await your exploration as the sinister CCTV Camera sweeps an arc of hot red destruction across the landscape!
Your goal is to reach the base of the CCTV Cam! Aim higher, but avoid exposing yourself to view - or you'll be TOASTED!
Playing with headphones is recommended to best appreciate the subtle, ambient audio. The sound of the wind builds as the player ascends and the whine of the laser shifts frequency as the beam strikes different surfaces. The sensation of the beam passing close by is enough to raise hairs on the back of your neck and being spotted will make you jump, even on repeated occasions.

CONTROLS
TILT the device left or right to turn toward the left or right.
TILT the device away / towards you to look up and down.
TOUCH platforms or ground to move to that point. You can move a long way if the landing point is clearly visible. While moving you can still turn around - but you cannot start a new move until you have landed.
HOLD the LOOK BUTTON / MINI SCANNER to look at the CCTV Camera. Remember, the view might be blocked by a wall - if so, the CCTV can't see you either! The MINI SCANNER shows the CCTV's cone of vision as well as yourself (white dot) and any Drones (red dots).
PAUSE the game by touching the status bar at the top of the screen.
