I really couldn't tell what type of game this was. I thought it was a stealth game, but when I wasn't stealing anything I could just walk straight past the guards which kind of took me out of the stealth experience. I had no idea at first which tools to use and a lot of it was just a guessing game (most of the time my option wasn't the right one). I also was able to go into the wall which made it very easy to steal paintings. I like the idea behind it but the execution could have been better overall.

How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
The player must fill their "style meter" to yield the full rewards of the heist. The unconventional tools fill the meter, while the usual tools decrease it.

There really should be a lower limit on your style, or a better visual representation of when it goes into the negatives. I spent my most recent run trying to figure out why my style meter was stuck at 0, until I finished the game and found out it had a value of -11.
The way it makes an explosion sound and instantly sends you back when you get caught is a bit confusing too. I expected the guards to chase me, or at least get something like a notification saying I was caught.
Huh, I thought I put a lower limit to style so that it wouldn't go below zero, I'll try fixing that along with the notorious wall problem. I definitely agree that the lack of an indicator for getting caught is a problem, and I sadly didn't have time to implement something which displays the suspicion radius of you and your tools. Thanks for your feedback!
Once you understand that you don't have to go against walls or you will get stuck, is fun.
Cool game!
Was confusing at times, but really liked it. The art style was really cool tho
It was a bit confusing at first, but once you figure it out, its super fun. Great work.
This was impressive! I got stuck in the wall under the second safe and had to restart in case thats helpful to know. Fun idea and cool design!! Liked all the options and the graphics were great too!! Awesome work! :D
