I really liked the design of the character and the concept of the game - which tied in well to the theme. I was slightly frustrated by the walls clipping into the camera view (that could have been handled slightly better). I would also have liked some better UI. Overall very fun though.

I really enjoyed the music and idea of the game. However I had a couple of stacks messed up by walls I didn't see coming because of the clipping and the camera setup.

I really appreciate the comments! The visual clipping on the walls with doorways is definitely my biggest pet peeve about the game in its current state too. I had wanted to tackle it but sadly we ran out of time. It works slightly better in editor -- instead of making the walls invisible if they're between you and the camera we just alpha them a bit, but the doorways were still a bit wonky. Alpha didn't work in HTML 5 though unfortunately.

Thanks again for the feedback!

I agree with the other commenters that the walls were a bit of an issue. And any game with physics can be a bit frustrating at times. Still, it was silly in a fun way. Nice job!

Good concept. First loading time is toooooooooo long and camera is sometimes frustrating, but the game is very funny ^^. Greetings!

Nice work ! The physics seem a bit random sometime, I destroyed the half of the kitchen :( The sign for the robber bag is not evident enough, I though it was a garbage bag. The music match perfectly with the game. Overall it's a good entry for the Ludum !

Very funny game, the music is great, the only thing to improve in my opinion is the camera movement, is a little hard to handle it sometimes. Good job
