Also there's a bug where everyone's sprites turn into cops! That's terrifying.
I was wondering why sometimes the civilians turned into cops... it wasn't really clear what I was stealing from people. I noticed that sometimes they had a little logo that showed they had items, other times my dude just went Uhm, and the counter went up. Also, movement felt a little "slidey"... as if I were on thin ice (which, in a sense, I guess I was).
Also, first try I was supposed to get four items, but got caught at three. Then, when I replayed it only asked for two? Did that twice and the game took me back to the main menu.
Do like the concept, though, and I think with a little work you could have a nice game on your hands.
Some bugs to be noted where, the civilians change sprite into guards during the 2'nd level, i have no idea what caused it, felt random... when you walk diagonally your speed is not the same as when you are moving pure up/sown, i have had the same issue myself when making Top-Down games, you just have to divide it by... i cant remember right now........ sorry haha
But by using this movement technique i was finally able to outrun the cops! haha
The mechanics are interesting, it's like in some games like assassin's creed, when you steal money to people in the streets.
The "something/nothing" intro is interesting, but pretty boring when dying a lot of times.
I had trouble because of the QWERTY layout of the keyboard. Mine is AZERTY, so I couldn't play in a comfy way :(
I think you should allow to play with the arrows too.
Thank you for your game, and keep jamming guys :)
