Catch for cash by flip120

[raw]
made by flip120 for LD 40 (JAM)

You're a burglar who's decided to rob as much as possible, as fast as possible. But the more you steal, the harder it is on your back. So get out of there with as much loot as you can handle, before it's too late. As my grandpa said when he came over for supper, don't bite off more than you can chew!

Keyboard: * Move: WASD * Jump: K * PickUp: J * Drop: L * Hide: I * Start: Enter

One of best and probably most polished entry i have played. I could imagine to buy this game on steam right now. Instant gem!

The game has really nice cute graphics. The controls were a bit lackluster for the keyboard (im sorry its clear that the controls were designed with an xbox controller in mind), and I couldnt progress far, because after spending a decent time figuring out the controls, 3 times in a row, I was instantly killed by having a guard on top of the doorway as I went through. Game needs a way to tell where the guards are before going through a doorway (if there is, m-my bad).

Super nice ! Nothing to say, solid entry... Really good job. Idea : Could be nice to spot where the guard is, before going in a room.

The game is very good ! I loved it ! The controls are a little bit hard to get used to, but the small graphic asset above the character to provide informations as to what we can do helps a lot !

Great job! The art and animation are awesome, and the gameplay is fun. The contextual UI prompts are a nice touch too.

This is great. Love the artwork, and it plays so smoothly. It would have helped if I could move the camera to look down or something as it was hard to time the guards movement before descending. Music was as a little repetitive but still really good.

Really cool, both graphics and gameplay are great. I also like the reference to jam theme with the thief bag!

The only problem I have with the game is the instadeaths. You should have made it possible to stay in the door and hide, so that you dont die instantly from going through the doors.

Awesome game, second the @crispypear suggestion, there should be a way to avoid instadeaths

This game won my heart just by being beautiful. It's got a great concept, perfect for the theme. Well done!

Very cool game, just felt frustrated not knowing if the guard is going to be right at the door or not when I switch floors, otherwise 5/5 from GFX to SFX.

First impressions, the pixel art looks awesome I love it. Second impression zip extractor very slow and then download error :(.

Oh well 5/5 for the pixel art. 0/5 for zip extractor on windows :(

oh congratulation! Nice art! Can I follow it also on indiexpo? Do you have also a page there? This looks great! I looked for the games that used the #LDJAM but I don't find yours. So good luck!! I will hope to make a video about it!

I love it! We made a similar game, so i could quickly relate (and of course, skipped the initial loot to only take it when leaving). The graphics are amazing and the music is really moody, perfect for the heist. I also love the step sounds, i had a lot of trouble with them and still hav no satisfying sounds for them, so i can appreciate ;)

Hiding is also such a nice touch, especially with thos beautiful animation. My only issue is, that it's very hard to predict if going up or down a room is safe. Oh, and the death scream is sooo disturbing, a bit too heavy for the cute graphics :D

Excellent entry, i'm really impressed how round and complete you've got it.

Love the graphics and sound. Also nice use of the theme! Our game was also about stealing.

I love the game! The graphics are great, the animations are really cute and the sounds are very fitting.

One thing, that would be nice, would be the ability to peek through doors, because it happend way to often, that I would go through the door and instantly loose, because a guard would be in front of it in that exact moment. Jumping lets you look on the floor above, but is quite inconvenient.

I like, how polished the game is.

It took me way too long to figure out, that it would be a good idea to dump the collected stuff in front of the exit. At first I thought, you would have to collect everything in one go :D Finally I collected 260kg in 155 seconds, resulting in 104 points. I hope I got everything. :)

All in all really awesome work!

Wow what a cool looking game! animations and sounds are spot on.

I did get caught a lot just going through a door so it was a bit of a luck thing, I would say this would need addressing as it got frustrating.

great job, look forward to the post jam version

This was great! The pixel art was awesome and it felt really smooth using a controller instead of a keyboard! 10/10 my friend!

Nice DA and game concept! Controls feel smooth and light, and it's really challenging to get the items.
Perhaps it was a bit punishing when you enter a door and some dude is waiting for you right at the exit, and I couldn't find out how to get what the dogs keeps in his bedroom ^^ But the overall game is well done.

Nice game! Really enjoyed the art style and the polishness of the game, also the controls were smooth. The idea is also natural for the LD#40 topic, so that's great!

Not bad! Like stealth mechanics. Not like that I can't view next room in the door.
Visuals and mood are good to!

really fun entry!

I especially liked learning I could stomp on the guard's heads. Haha.
Might be slightly more fun with a progression of levels and a dollar amount requirement?

Fantastic animation and UX. Best use of sound to indicate weight and noise I've heard the entire jam. It doesn't work properly with my 4k monitor (bits are cut off), but that's just a bug. Definitely worth a few bucks on Steam when it's ironed out and content is added on.
