First and foremost, fantastic username. It's an honor to be speaking with you.

Thank you so much! Our team worked really hard to get the mechanics of the game as comfortable as possible, so your feedback means a lot! They don't call him Will Slick for nothing. B)

You are correct! Those were all handwritten notes that were scanned and put in the game as sprites. Not only was it quicker for us to do it that way, but we felt it looked more authentic too! Thanks for playing!

Aw, thank you so much! That was the atmosphere we were going for; it's nice to hear feedback that it pairs nicely with our goofy endeavors!

Yes, we did hand write and scan the notes (I'm mom!!). I'd like to declare a moment of silence for Rocket's scanner, which is scarred by olive oil from Big Tony's secret recipe.

We wanted a little bit of a challenge in the game, I'm glad we succeeded! We did try our best to drop bread crumb hints. Thanks for not giving up on the heist! The "meatball" recipe was a Big Tony family heirloom passed down for generations. It's existance is a legend highly sought among the pizzeria community.

Hey, Big Tony means business! It's actually funny you mention that. By the end of this project we were all joking to one another that the game's soundtrack was stuck in our heads haunting us since we had heard it on loop so many times! It means a lot that you appreciate our smaller details in the game. Thank you so much for playing!

I always picked him during my playtesting too, haha. Slick is literally his middle name, after all! Thanks for playing!

Just a slick tip, you actually don't have to toggle the flashlight off and on! If you move slowly it will affect your danger bar less. If you stop moving it around completely then your danger bar will slowly decrease! Thank you for taking the time to play and robbing Big Tony blind!!!

Thank you for taking the time to give our game a try!

Thank you! Initially the slick meter was intented to be a character creator lite, but as we developed more of the mechanics, it became a difficulty meter too! Big shout out to Rocket for the attention to detail on the noise meter!

lol yeah we may have gone a little overboard with the phone, but we thought it would be funny to have someone pester you throughout. Thanks for playing!

I am glad you enjoyed it! As much as Big Tony's is an escape room heist, it is above all, a silly little time :)

Thanks for playing! The inspiration for the concept came from games like Nancy Drew and Five Nights at Freddy's. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!!! When we were play testing, we kept losing.. not on purpose. After some time of this we kept joking amongst ourselves that we accidentally made the Dark Souls of escape rooms!

Thanks for playing and for the kind words! The truth is, we were just having fun with it and thought what we were doing would be truly unique. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to get in as many puzzles as we were hoping, there is A LOT of cut content for this game that we could add. We may just talk about it after the game jam!

Aw! I am over the moon that our game got placed into the same category as CoolMathGames! Thank you so much, that was exactly our goal! During our first team meeting, we just ball parked the escape room idea and everyone was on board. We wanted to try something a little different than the classic platformer. Eventually our little jokes became these bigger ideas and Big Tony was born. A lot of efforts were put into player experience, so it is relieving to see that it paid off!

Aw, thank you for your feedback and kind words!!! I knew I sensed powerful gamer aura somewhere in the comments. 

Thanks for playing! The atmosphere of the game was a major focus point so I'm glad you noticed that as a strength. I wish we had a little more time to put in another puzzle or two! For pretty much everyone on our team, this was our first ever game finished and first game jam submission. I noticed the win condition restart bug after submission and I have fixed it, but too late to resubmit to the jam, haha.

that's cus you already have the meatball recipe, duh! 

Thank you though, I put a lot of work in the music and sound design and shared some good background and art space with people! There's actually a decent amount of cut content to expand the rooms that I developed we didn't have time to implement. Lots of really good and fun conversations were had about getting this together it was a blast we really put our heads together on this one. Lots of talks about parmesan mechanics lol. Really appreciate the shoutout! 

Responded :) Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing! I know one of our other devs replied but just wanted to let you know I created a youtube full gameplay so you can kind of get an idea of how some of the trickier stuff works, and some of the ways you can get caught. Please let us know if you have any other questions! All feedback is really helpful :)
