Fun fast-paced game. I like that there are multiple possible routes the player can take. Could have used some heist music though. The character animations are great too. Good work!

Developer

Thank you :)

I unfortunately had no time left, to implement music, but that would have definitely made it better.

My hands aaa, I always have problem with games with button mashing. Love the art, and very interesting concept. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

I couldnt come up with a more interesting mechanic to rob the jewelries so I went with the mashing, but something else would propably been more fun, like one time based tap or something like that.

my hand hurts

Understandable, have a great day!

Nice art style! It would be great to have some more challenge (like evading wardens?), also a visual indication of how many jewelries have already been robbed. But impressive work for a solo dev.

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

I wanted to put the number of robbed jewelries in the corner but forgot it in the end.

And some more challenge would really have been nice youre right ;)

With such an excellent game concept, theme implementation and pixel art, no worries you had no time for audio, in fact it makes perfect sense! 

Developer

Thank you :)

What a perfectly themed game. Runs great and the concept is dead on.

Developer

Thank you :)

art is really good and it fits the theme very well!

gameplay could be more interesting with guards and other interactive items. 

leaderboard is bugged, you can enter multiple times and you can just go directly to the exit without stealing anything

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

Good idea with the guards and items. I wanted to implement something like that, but unfortunately didnt have the time for it.

Same with the leaderboard bug, I know whats the problem now, but didnt find it in the small time of testing I had..

Oh man my space-bar is dying rn lol
I really enjoyed the hectic spamming to loot the store and also the strategy with layout out a route that was the fastest, also I might've broken the game :3

Developer(+1)

Im glad you enjoyed the game :)

And after one more test I found the bug that makes it possible to just run to the finish. 

I really wish I had time to do some more testing, but well its a game jam xD

Really enjoyed the art work ! Hits the thieving and speed run theme very well.

Developer

Thank you :)

Nice! This plays really well and looks the part! I think it works well as a speed-run, ie, not actually taxing to complete, but enough scope to improve your time. Could use some sound, of course. Good work!

Developer

Thank you :)

Yes some sound would have been nice, but unfortunately I didnt have the time to implement it

Developer
