Very cute game! I liked the environment and character reactions. I was a little confused on what to do at first, but got the hang of it. I ran into some bugs that made me have to restart. I was able to walk out of the world from the bottom left of the play area and then never saw my character again. At some point I stopped being able to knock things down.

So cuteeeee! I love the ambience and the expressions of the workers!!! It fits the theme very well too!

My only nitpick is that the view that you get by default from itch.io or the player seems to not work well. But once I played it using fullscreen It worked great! Game was very fun!

Great job! Keep up the good work! <3

This game is reaaaally beautiful, the work on the designs is amazing.
But i don't know why, i fell in the left side of the map and was incapable to come back x))

Love the stealth game concept and the art! (But I also got stuck at the left side of the screen though! ><)

Really nice style and somewhat easy to undestand gameplay. This was pretty entertaining!

Cute art and animations! I like the design of the critter, and the freaked out expressions on the people make it really funny to mess with them.

cute little game, liked the artstyle and the expressions of the characters were great

wish there was a bit more to do, maybe a few other locations with different layouts but it's still good for what it is

Found a little bug here, carrying a roll and jumping on solid objects pushes them (?) And gives you the ability to glide :D
Other than that i really love the game - was a bit confused first, but only because i played on the tiny screen here and couldn't quite see the Q for interactions - but as i moved to the rolls and saw the E i understood :D
Love the art and music! <3
