Thanks for the feedback! For the gameplay part, there's actually a bug (that i now fixed with the 48 hours bugfix period) which causes an npc (baker) to appear later than he is supposed to, and another npc (wildlife control guy) to not appear at all :/
That said, the same tactics do apply for stealing the biscuits and escaping from the normal guy, but once the baker or the wildlife control guy arrives, you'll have to dodge them by jumping rather than waiting for a fall, as they are able to outrun you and actually catch you!
