this game is a real treat, its really fun to juke the guards like that. i have a few nitpicks because i do genuinely think this game is a lot of fun. i think the combo of the map being as big as it is + the fact that everywhere looks the same makes it really easy to get lost and not know what part you havent been to yet, your ink puddles help but not by much. i also think getting caught doesn't really effect the gameplay much besides losing a but of time, and getting caught in the first place is hard when they are so easily dealt with. which combines into, despite the map being confusing to traverse, the obstacles were so easy that i still managed to get out with a good score. BUT, the ink is a really fun movement option and trap option, sucking up furniture and throwing at enemies feels great, i feel like a slick thief for sure stealing all that treasure. very very good game, great job!

thanks! and yeah, i agree, the level design was a last-hour-of-the-jam special. given more time i'd love to add more landmarks and make it easier to navigate. i spent the first four days almost exclusively on player controls and movement, which ended up being poor time budgeting haha
appreciate the rating!
