Really cool! The theme is really well-implemented. I do wish that in the room with the Kung Fu kid (rest in peace) the thief box was a little higher in the room, because the dialogue bar covers up the contents, making it difficult to get the baseball bat.

How to tell that this is a good game: that old grandma totally stumped me. I'll have to give it another shot once I've recovered more brain cells. (I'm a bit worn out from working on my game all day and fixing stuff until there was literally one second left)

@adrien-dittrick God giveth, god taketh and you have no chance against the likes of @peace-of-cake-games . They intrinsically resist the EXPLOIT :tm: . Your demise will be swift (or something in that nature)

@iak yup! Negociating with gods is the thief's usual method.

Amazing game, great artwork and overall i really like the inceptption like theme. What i found a bit annyoing was the dialog noise when there was a long dialog, i think it was just a but to loud, but apart from that great game

fav game I played so far! amazing gameplay, level design, music and humour. Got stuck in some places that I think were a wee bit unfair to solve (the multiple bedrooms final part, and the ending) but this is solid 5 star material.

loved it. extremely funny, great writing, interesting mechanics and exploration or the theme. with some difficulty balancing this would be perfect. mwah chefs kiss

@squigglez hey! This game already went through one set of difficulty reductions though X)
The penultimate level is very hard on purpose because of sans undertale reasons.

We need to go deeper! but let me bypass this A* pathfinding first....
I really enjoyed your game, the concept is clever, the goal clear and the minigames excellent idea (you made pacman wow).

My only comment is that the difficulty might need a rebalance, since the enemy is pretty sensitive, maybe add a vision cone to let me know if I'm at risk and a cooldown so I can get a chance for hiding. Another is the walls, maybe the angle needs more perspective since sometimes I get he feeling i'm behind one but still noticed.

Great entry!

Super cool, I had a blast playing it even though I could figure out how to beat the grandma level before crashing my browser by going in too deep. Guess I should've seen that one coming :laughing:

This was fun! I like that its essentially a puzzle game with a bonkers presentation and minigames, really clever way to approach a jam in general I think. I felt like a true gamer at several moments when I figured out how to proceed.

I can't believe this is the first Inception-themed game I am playing this jam.
