I actually made an imaginary game like this in Notepad and played it with some friends a very long time ago. Fun to mess with them a little. It actually made me want to come back to this. If you want, I can give you ideas on enemies and areas for a sort of sequel! Or maybe you could make a kind of editor for this game? Overall, I love this game, and I love how it spirals out of control, and I hope to see more of it!
Well, shoot, it seems I won't be able to make any since I don't see anything about GMS2 being free. I think I missed my shot when I saw your post, which was a month or two after you replied. Whoops.
Great ideas! It took me awhile to win because I didn't realize a certain buff could carry between battles - I *almost* had a working strat without this, but not one without some considerable luck...
i just had a boring and sad day but while i was looking at gx games on the opera gx browser i saw this it made my day single handly great in fact that i found this site bc i was looking if there was a universal thief 2 or smh you need to add more content into the game or make a second version where you put more that just 2 days into it i bet if you would work on it for like 2 weeks it would be a lot better and most people would play it if they knew it was made by you 12/10 experience finished it 5 times and didnt have enough of high funny numbers im waiting for a second version or a big update come on you can do it (also i made an account just so i can express how much i liked the game)
thanks for playing :) the reality of gamedev is that is I spend 2 weeks on something it will actually be more like 2 weekends, so 4 days. A year spent on a project is around 60 days with no free time for myself. Time spent on a project has very diminishing returns :p
Amazing game!! My favorite part was conquering Youranus ;D
Lol all jokes aside I LOVE this game, its seriously addicting and I managed to become the Almighty in just a few hours. Theres something seriously satisfying about this, being able to cause more and more damage by stealing abilities. The boost is ABSOLUTELY broken and its the most satisfying thing ever omg i cannot get enough of seeing the ridiculously high numbers. The plot progression was super enjoyable and the funny writing made my day XD I'd recommend this to anyone. Plus the artwork looks kinda goofy but pretty in its own way ngl. (Edit: OMG I didnt realize the art was done by Shinlalala one of my recent fav devs too- the coincidence I got this game recommended right after i played his is crazy)
10/10 My satisfication is immeasurable and my day is perfect :> Amazing concept
idk if you remember me from newgrounds (you responded to some of my comments: https://bingusisrad.newgrounds.com/) why is this in the queer games bundle im curious. also, is it wrong that i know exactly what color palette this is? (sweetie 16)
Beating the ??? Stage took a few tries. Did the Fenrir to lock them down and double Nidhogg.
Was so worried about them using the same move twice and just losing. Didn't realize that the highlighted move is the next move until this comment: https://itch.io/post/6990306. Thought the AI was just made to be dumb and wants to unlock all its moves first.

Love the creativity of this game, crazy that you made this much content in a jam!
thanks, it was very fun to make!
You can get one of the most broken moves at the start of the game:Boost.
From there you just go for better attack moves and heals
yup, you got the main strat right :)
I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE MAYOR FOR AN HOUR HDJDJHDHJDHFKSK

I probably won't make a sequel, because I would not be sure what to add after fighting literal gods :p
No editor either but the source files are freely available if you're using game maker studio 2! (which happens to be free as of last week)
Was it a lot of coding to make this game work? If so, I will not be able to do it, because I barely know coding, like, at all.
You can just change the text and numbers to make new things :) there is code, but not a lot!

You could put the universal thief in greek mythology. Could be awesome
god of thieves
Yeah like this. You said coding games cost alot of time, so you could do like a phase per 2 months what you think?
Nah :p I have a bunch of other projects!
Amazing. Nothing left to steal :(
Great ideas! It took me awhile to win because I didn't realize a certain buff could carry between battles - I *almost* had a working strat without this, but not one without some considerable luck...
how come I never left a comment for this game?
this game is awesome, the powercreep, the abilities, the combos, the cheese
wonder if we ever get a remaster or part 2
I know another dev has been working on a part 2 for a while, but I myself am not quite sure what I could add in a sequel X)
you should totally give them music you use
or even make a a new not so sneaky steal everything thief song

damn it i was hoping for more gameplay for this game
That was ridiculous and I loved it. Thank you for the lovely experience.
Glad you liked my ridiculous experience :)
This is the best game I've ever played on itch it had me and my friends in suspense playing the last boss, the ending felt very fulfilling.
thanks for playing :)
how did you learn about this game?
I was scrolling on the web games for itch and this one just stuck out like a sore thumb (in a good way)
did you go all the way? :)
My new favorite game
thanks for playing :)
probably my fav game iv ever played on itch!
glad you liked it :)

Oh wow, glad you like both of our works :) how was this game recommended to you btw?
I was discussing abt browser games with a friend and he told me this was a good one to pass the time ^^
Cool :)
I am asking, because I noticed a sudden influx of players so I was wondering if there was a tangible cause for it :p
Wow, who's Shinlalala . :p
Happy you liked the game ^^
Finally, I figured out how to beat it! That was so much fun.
glad you liked it :)
I crashed the game, I used copy after the stopsign used go
oh no. This is the bug I never fixed T.T
The space exploration theme reminds me of this track
Yup! This was one of my inspirations for the bass line!
since I can't upload videos in mp4 form you can just wait for a while until premier ends and see the big nums!
that's a lotta damage
the multiplier i decided to end on
the damage
good numbers
LOL
this was crazy fun. I literally spent hours finishing this game and its 4am now. I dont regret it tho lol thanks for making this.
Glad you had fun :)
BRUH ITS 4AM FOR ME TOO!
I am about to be awake until 4AM as well

Heyya, it's because everyone in the team is queer :)

Came from the Best GMTK 2020 Games.
Not sure what Identity theft is good for, but I'm only in the second Office.
