Neat game and homage.
Bugs I experienced:
First attempt, the controls where jumbled. QE moved me left and right. Z moved me up, AD stole left and right.
I then got caught and no controls worked when trying to play after the gameover screen, and game had loaded.
After a site refresh, it worked complete fine, and no issues.
My best score was 56 seconds and 28 items stolen. Rank Master Thief.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out where the freezing when pressing E or Q comes from but so far nothing has worked, I hope trial and error can eventually get me there
Pressing A or Q defines whether you're using an AZERTY or QWERTY keyboard, but it might be more trouble than it's worth, I might remove that in version 1.03.
Under a minute, not bad!
EDIT: As of version 1.04, both the freezing issue and the QWERTY/AZERTY controls issues have been fixed!
