Nice take on the theme! I liked the idea. Thought I can lock the AI, but it escaped, that was fun :)

Incredible job considering you did this on your own! Unfortunate with the Windows Defender bs, happens to the best of us :D

Overall I enjoyed playing the game and don't even mind the minimalistic design! Good take on the theme and I wish you good luck in the jam :) 

If you have the time I'd be very grateful if you tried and rated our game as well! It's a short story-based comedy game

A simple game, but it works well and has a surprising amount of depth. Good idea for allowing the AI to break out of traps - can't imagine how you dealt with that code lol Could do with more visual/audio fun, but the game is clear and functional!

You know the funny thing is that I did have some audio assets made for it but Windows Defender kept complaining whenever I gave those builds to my testers so I had to drop them.   As for the AI breaking out of traps, there are 2 distance calculations, 1 for with walls and 1 for ignoring all walls.   I managed to put this project together in less than 10 hours so audio/visuals weren't my highest priority.
