It.. was.. annoying to control the character. I think it would have been more fun with wasd movement or arrows

Well, I personally didn't enjoy this one. The movement is really awkward. You have to move with the z key while moving the mouse to move. This gets annoying really quickly, especially on a laptop mousepad. It probably would be better to use the arrow keys. I don't really like the look of the graphics, but that's just me, and its not like it kills the gameplay. Other than that, its okay, but it could probably be better. If you were to continue this, the first thing I would suggest is to make the character move with the arrow keys. That alone would make the game run so much smoother and fun to play.

@Gravity Games, are you on AZERTY? Because W+S works if you are on normal QWERTY

Can be frustrating at times, mostly due the fact that you stop whenever you hit a wall. Otherwise, fun to play.

The character is bad (like a real thief) and was fun to play.
I just wish that I could see farther than this, because the enemies have a larger line of sight than you and sometimes I didn't knew if they were there.
But it was still fun to play, so I'm giving a good rating.

This was fun! The walk animations are hilarious :D The ai is smart enough to be challenging and reasonable. Would love to see more mechanics built into it :D

i'd REALLY enjoy this if it wasn't for the horrendous collision detection.

The walk animation made me laugh so hard, that I didn't even notice any control-flaws :) I actually had quite some fun playing this.

Challenging fur sure. I beat it haha. Collision needs a little work, unless the walls are supposed to be sticky. Why the weird movement controls? it'd been easier just to have the keyboard move the dude and/or the mouse used just to face a certain direction. dunno, that's just how i thought!

Good work - but then, I would say that, given that my game is similar ;) Graphics were a tiny bit glitchy (strange vertical lines appeared that looked like errors), but the music was good, and the sound effects did the job. It mostly seemed a bit easy, but then I kept getting caught on the medicine level from rushing too much - so maybe it's just right :)
Have to admit I find the controls a bit awkward, but then I've always been more of a fan of using the keyboard for directions than using the mouse for a walk-to direction.
