  • I was able to pick up one item, but then the game crashed when I got back to the nest. The art style was simple and good. I would like some background music and sound effects. The concept is super interesting. I did not play the updated versions due to the rules. Awesome job on the game! I look forward to seeing what you create for the next Jam!

UPDATE: Unfortunately we added a game-breaking bug 5 minutes before the deadline and didn't notice it until after that. The first time a citizen walks off the screen, the game freezes :(

UPDATE2: We have deployed a version where the bug is fixed here:

If this is against the rules of itch.io or the game jam, please let me know and I will remove the link.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

Young alchemy apprentice Raven Shadowcast made a terrible mistake during one of his secret experiments, and he had to pay a terrible price: he became literally a raven, a little bird with feathers dark as night. From this unfortunate night, he is trying to turn back to his human form. To do so, he needs to obtain enough ingredients. But in his raven form, he has no other choice than to steal shiny items from his fellow citizens on Townsquare. And during the night, he is doing his best to turn back. But unknown to him, every time he fails, the new living shadow also comes to existence.

In this 2D game, you control a raven and you are trying to steal shiny items from passing citizens.
