I love this! A really simple idea, but well-executed. Super fun! The difficulty ramps up at just the right pace IMO, such that it feels like a challenge but not overwhelming. The energy meter felt like it was tuned to perfection. It took me 4 tries but eventually I was able to beat it. The graphics were simple but very charming, and the music is a real bop; I was smiling the whole time. I really, really enjoyed this one. You should be really proud of this one; amazing job! :)
This was a nice game to play! Really easy to get into and quite addicting. Nice one!
I really enjoy this game! Was simple but so fun.
This was very fun! It got extremely difficult towards the end but that was okay because it was such a quick game to play - I enjoyed that your weapon was a glare :D
Nice game! I really love the gameplay loop, it's super fun to play.
Simple, cute and fun. A bit too hard for me, but thats just a skillissue. Great jom on how concise the whole experience is, and how polished it all is!
This is such a cute game with a really simple but very engaging gameplay loop. I was able to understand it quick but it took be a couple tries to get it mastered which I think is the perfect place for a game jam game to live. Excellent job on that. It escalated well, introduced a new enemy towards the end to increase the tension, and the time was the perfect amount to where I feel challenged but I also don't feel like a sunk commitment if I lose a run. Well done, thanks for making and sharing it :)
This is REALLY cute and a fun idea for "sleep." I appreciated how you incorporated the tutorial into the game, which indicated a good level of polish. Good job! :)
Always got me when it was like 10 seconds left! all of them quick little bastards! is hard to be a eepy guard!
this was a fun game! really enjoyed the little lads trying to get the gem!
I think this might've been mentioned in another comment but I agree that an endless mode for this game would've been amazing!
Nice game! Took me many tries and I even managed to lose with 0:00 left but it was fun, so I didn't mind! I liked how some of the thieves came in from the ceiling on a rope. The introduction of thieves that you had to look at for longer was cool too!
Short, simple, and super polished! Had a lot of fun playing this. The tutorial was super clear, too. Nice work!
I had fun playing this one, a simple idea very well implemented. The gameplay was smooth and the sound and graphics combine really well with the game. The game fits too, solid entry. Good job.
