Compact Looter by Qaolin
Steal & stack!
Pack stolen goods onto carts without waking up the owners. Play as a medieval thief in this physics-based stealth game.
Controls
Hold mouse to hold objects, Scroll mouse when holding to pull/push, Left Shift to sprint, Space to jump, WSAD to move, Alt F4 to exit,
How to play
In each round your goal is to load as many valuables from surrounding area onto your cart before dawn, but be careful! The cart's space is limited, items can fall over and topple creating chaos and noise. If you make too much noise, the owner will wake up, and you'll have to replay the level, regardless of how many valuables you have on your cart. Items can fall out off your hands if you drag too fast, for really heavy items you will have to put some work. You can earn additional stars for each level if you steal enough valuables. Good luck!
Game is made in Unreal Engine 5 which sadly has no support for playing in browser, you'll have to download the game.

Feedback
Making and playing this game was so much fun we might even stick to it a little longer. Aside from building a tower made of cheese we had so many cool ideas, but to finish the jam we focused on the core gameplay. Big thanks to everyone who played the game and please share with us your thoughts, feedback, what did you like, what you didn't like, what would you change and of course would you like to play more?:smile:
Also - if u manage, please share with us some screenshots of how your loaded cart looks!

Sadly the collision of entities in your hands with yourself are a bit wonky and the game would be so much better without this issue.
Refused to elaborate any further

Great game, the only inconviniance for me wsa that if you hold an item in front of you it bumps you and slows you down. So i found myself walking backwards all the time. The fact that you need to rotate slowly not to loose the item you are holding is neat. Very fun entry!
Really nice visually and mood-wise.
The only issue I had was that items on the cart could collide too much and raise the alert meter, I lost one round because of that, it only made me loose once so it's ok.
Cool idea that fits the theme and nice concept overall, I had fun ! Good job !

Its a great entry with a humble twist on the theme. I just wish things were less sound prone! But I guess that is good! haha
thanks for playing <3
But honestly it's a fun game, and those pumpkins are really rolly!
I think the ending may have bugged for me? I got put back on the third level with a seemingly endless timer.
