Nice little game! I liked the idea, it's simple but it works. Fits well to the theme.

great level design, I like how some levels require precision in where to place the box and how to position yourself, though I think waiting 10 seconds for the cameras to go off is a bit much, if I was the robber I would run out of patience and rush in guns blazing lol

Crazy, that you walk backwards, but I like pixel games, so thumbs up. ^^

Cool take on a stealth game. The addition of the box works well, making the levels into a sort of puzzle game. Nice game!

nice music. and puzzles. The third one I had to think that behind the box you could hide XD

Really great puzzles! The pacing was quite good also (the harder puzzles were later). There could have been some inbetween levels to introduce the ideas in a less challenging environment (placing boxes on ledges wihout mixing a non-trivial jump for example). Would have loved to see the puzzle gimmicks fleshed out a little more, but obviously can only do so much in such a short period. Really great stuff!

Hiding behind the boxes was fun. That last puzzle stumped me until I read some of the comments here.

A simple concept done well-- Good job!

Nice work, the game is easy to learn and it is immediately clear what to do. It would have been nice if the sprites had been improved a bit. It always makes me feel weird about the direction of the character's eyes, I feel like he's looking behind him ^^

Lot of fun! If you plan to develop further, might benefit from being every 6 seconds or so instead of 10, but I don't fault you here since you were matching the theme. Liked the level design!

Cool mini-stealth-mechanics derived from the theme. I love the box-carrying-capacity of the thief ! =)

The music slapps! awesome choice, this was a fun little diversion to play while at work. might be a little rough around the edges, but the core concepts at display here are solid! some good game design at display here

This was a lot of fun, the music was nice and while the graphics were simple they worked really well. The lack of any indication of an upcoming power outage really amped up the stress! The only feedback that I could give is for user input/experience; Having a two handed input on the keyboard is totally fine, but making the player use the mouse to click on the restart button just slows down the game flow. Aside from that I really enjoyed it!

Cool little stealth game (in its purest form). The mechanics are easily understandable and the puzzles in the harder levels were good in showing the possibilities, the game design can offer. Personally I think that the wait period is a bit long (but it was the theme, so it's probably for this jam not possible to avoid...).
Aside from that, I enjoyed playing your game. Good job!

I enjoyed this. The graphics were nice, the music was alright and the stealth mechanics were fun. My only gripes with this: too much time spent waiting, and the boxes are really weird to control.

With some more work, this could be fleshed out into something cool. Good work.

Really nice little platform puzzler, great job!

Neat puzzle-platformer with good level design! I think I had some bug that sometimes I couldn't pick up boxes (or had to try multiple times until it worked) but otherwise it seemed to work as intended. I really appreciate the escalation of the levels, I didn't get overwhelmed at any point and you managed to do many new things with the existing mechanics, great design!

Interesting idea for a puzzle game. However, I feel like most of the time I spent waiting. It would be great to keep the player busy while waiting for the lights. Overall fun entry! :D

Really cool game idea! Enjoyed the mechanics were fun but the only thing that made it really hard was the waiting. The platforming felt good. Overall great job
