I liked the idea and the art! I reached a point where nothing was happening...just surrounded by dead bodies...so many...bodies....

I wish there was more of the stealing and not just mindless murder of innocent civilians. Great base!

This was a great entry, I could see this being a fun game if you continue beyond the jam. It goes from 0 to 100 once you start your life of crime. A sobering reminder to players lol

Thanks for the feedback @gharliquebread

Originally wanted to put in more stealing, hiding bodies or even a win state! Unfortunately proved too ambitious and ran out of time.

Nice game. Maybe need a sound effect when someone notices you, would make it easier to spot the people you need to stop.

sprites are really well made, good job. fun take on the theme, I like how the music is so cute while you are murdering innocent citizens.

my main issue is the difficulty, it could be a bit more gradual in my opinion

This made me laugh so hard. I love the sprites, all the art is beautiful. I also love the juxtaposition of the chill retail background music against the horrific acts that I'm committing.

The art and atmosphere was nice. It was fun trying to strategically time my kills to avoid getting caught. I would have liked to see an ending screen, even if it was just "congratulations, you've gotten away with petty theft!" Overall an interesting take on the theme.
