A little difficult to control.

Burgle was executed far better than this. mattfoxgames.com/Burgle/

Took me a little time to get to controls, but once I did it was great! good job

Music should totally be more Twin Peaksy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF43b38k0Mw

Neat though. Id love this concept to be fleshed out.

I like the art style, but feel the gameplay was very repetitive. It seems like it could have used something to avoid while robbing the place.

tumoxep 2012-12-17 08:09

Awesome. But I find out that levels repeats itself (maybe it's a firefox problem). Anyway, five in all fields.

I enjoyed playing your game. A bit short, but this I can understand ;)

Fun little game. Maybe should be called Steal the TVs?

LucaPavone 2012-12-17 09:39

There's a bug where the music plays again after you try another level or restart a previous one due to not meeting the cash goal.

Maybe a secondary thing to worry about would've made things a bit more enticing.

This is a great game very enjoyable for all :)

I was putting stuff in the truck, but my time kept running out. I must have been doing something wrong, but I couldn't tell what. The sounds were cool, and the graphics were fun. The background tripped out a bit tho, it turned into triangles once I jump off the truck. ?

Great artwork, I would have made the audio sample a little longer and the difficulty curve slightly shallower.

On my first attempt, the burglar was floating in the air. The second time I was able to play. Fun game!

raincole 2012-12-18 18:02

I start looking forward a longer game in this genre:)

Fun game and great art, but some levels are really unfair.

adventureislands 2012-12-18 20:30

I like the graphics, though the stages were bit unfair and were mostly just about stealing tvs as quickly as possible. Perhaps this could have used bit more time?

jvanbaarsen 2012-12-19 08:28

@AdventureIsland yeah, i needed to create a lot more stuff.. But 48 hours, you know :P

infernet89 2012-12-27 12:13

Very nice game! More objects and more level (and maybe some obstacles, like guard dogs or something) will make an awesome game! Upvoted :)

Interesting concept! It was nice to have figure out to steal the more expensive items before time ran out. You could build it out more and see if that goes anywhere. It would be nice to see what happens if you get away vs when you are caught, and also if there were more expensive-ish items so it was harder to choose what to steal (other than the TVs).

norgg 2012-12-27 14:17

Nicely executed in general, although making the item values random makes the difficulty vary wildly. The first time I tried level 2 I felt like it was completely impossible because the TVs were valued very low, the second time I passed the level on the 2 TVs alone.

caranha 2012-12-27 14:22

Very interesting concept, and nice graphics and polish. I wish there were more than two levels!

I don't like that the prices vary between two items with the same image - since you are limited by time, it should be possible to have a more accurate evaluation of price just by looking at what is available.

But thanks for the game!

pl0xz0rz 2012-12-27 16:00

be the buglar! Steal the TV sets!

dr_soda 2012-12-27 16:01

I think it would be nicer with a few more seconds on the clock, so that you can really enjoy the nice graphics and get a better feel for the house. It would be fair to also increase the target $ amount as well, but also maybe make his walk speed just a touch faster.

Not bad overall!

superfluid 2012-12-27 18:44

Enjoyable game, thank you! Was the amount of time available random or related to the level size? I couldn't read the between-level text because I tapped space to offload the stuff at the inopportune moment a couple of times. Feel some kind of threat (other than the countdown clock) would have added to it. Love the graphics and the piano muzak ;)

schnerble 2012-12-30 16:16

A good idea, but needs a bit more time and tuning. The only winning tactic seemed to be to steal all the TVs first. Maybe having the owners come back after the time limit could've made things more interesting - but yes, I know the competition is always a rush! Sound and graphics are both pretty good :)

markavian 2013-01-03 13:27

Good concept, but really difficult. I noticed the stuff to steal has random prices, but the timer it made it way too difficult. Really cuts the game play down to no fun at all. There wasn't much choice in what to steal, no real challenge, just blind pot luck.

gornova 2013-01-04 22:51

nice stealing game, too much gameplay empasis on run around :(

azurenimbus 2013-01-06 02:32

This is really charming. Loved the graphics and sounds. Fun experience!

triplevisiongames 2013-01-06 14:10

I really enjoyed this I loved the music especially

therestlesstaxidermists 2013-01-07 08:26

The music wasn't quite right for this game. Would have wanted a more tense one, Ocean's Eleven style! :D Nice game though!

ahm99 2013-01-07 22:52

Sometimes the items don't give you enough money and then it's impossible. Pretty fun though. Nice job :)
Maybe you should make a post-compo called: TVs begone!
