Cool game! I do like the idea. Would be even more better if we could play it with 4 5 players. Good job!
Good job and nice graphics, simple but neat !
Too bad there isn't any AI so we can play solo. Maybe in a future update :D
Pretty fun. Would be cool if you could play one player but time limit so.
@khod Thank you so much, and yes support for controllers would be great! x)
@iozsaygi Not a bad idea! 0.0 I'll definitely consider it in future updates!:) Thanks for the support!
@kanonix & @cpokered Thank you guys for the nice comments! And as you said it was due to the time constraint that I skipped making this support single player. But it would be an awesome feature to add in future updates! :)
A great concept for a local multiplayer game. I loved the music. I would love an AI so you can play by yourself, but I understand the time contraints. You did great.
Very good idea, the art and the music are good. It's a shame that it's hard to test the two player gameplay.
I'm not very good at being two people :laughing: although I can see how it would be cool with two.
Music is fitting and retro! Good job!
Honestly, this was fun playing through the first time even without someone else to compete with. With more levels, that might be enough for the easily amused. Maybe it's my inner criminal nature, but...I mean, I got the most money. Seems good.
The flashlight mechanic is brilliant (no pun intended); the alarms and lights going on where you've stolen I would imagine keep it more balanced. And it's really cute. Well done!
did not realize it was a multiplayer game so at first i thought the guy on the top was a guard ...later thought it could be a partner and just a while later realized it was the second player ... so dumb me ... i was like

duuude lets escape together!
@velvetlobster Haha sharing the money with the thief was apperently more of a payoff x)
@badoomtch @xacur @kazatan Thank you guys, and yes, it's hard being 2 players at the same time x)
A tip till single player might be added: Call on you spouse/best friend and have a great time;)
@cjgladback Wow thank you for the comments and inputs, I too was thinking of making more levels. And with a little bit more time, I would definitely had that added.
If I publish a updated version I'll add at least 3 levels:)
except the fact that since we're (me and my partner) not having qwerty keyboard and so it's very difficult for us to play the robber, I found it extra fun,
This was fun and a great entry! I loved the mood and the music fit in perfectly. The graphics were passable and did everything that they needed to. I'm glad I got to play this one. I had to play both players at the same time, unfortunately.
The only comment would be to maybe make it a little more clear where you leave the grounds as the thief. I walked out a time or two without meaning to because I wasn't aware of the exits.
Nicely done!
Cool idea! I have no friend on hand to play it with though :(
Both the graphics and the music are great in this game. And I love seeing a multiplayer game, that's something I haven't seen yet.
Cool game. It reminded me of an old cops and robbers maze game on the old Atari 2600. Really well done.
Cool game.
@minibobbo Thanks dude, super happy to hear!:D
Yes, at first I had a text reading "Exit" at each exit, but I made the decision at the end to remove them. I regret it now x) Thx!
Nice game! I like the idea a lot, especially the light mechanic. It's also a neat base, to add more levels and an online mode to make a full game out of it (and maybe some more polish). Maybe even a 4 vs 4 mode or something like that.
@binarysystem @nisovin @mccarlp & @o2o Thank you guys!:)
@le-don Yeah would totally be a good base for something like a matchmaking game, and also more levels. Thx for playing, glad you liked it:)
Nice game!
The art style, music, and sounds remind of the escapist, and the bonanza bros and I love it, I think that the camera is a little to far away from the characters so it makes it hard to tell who's who maybe giving each of the players there own camera might help. besides that this is a great game and I hope to see more.
I didn't have someonelse to play it with but I got the idea, It's a super cool approach and execution! You did a great job, its really well done! Random maps would be a great adition!
Awesome and simple game idea, I wish we had more multiplayer games in LD! Keep up the good work :v:
@fallingflatstudios Super neat idea with the cameras, I will have that in mind for a future update for sure, thx for the support!:)
@webox Yes! Ofc, random generated maps would definitely be a big improvement! Thx for the support dude!:)
@richnou & @phyro Thank you so much, glad you liked it!:)
This is really cool idea. Even more impressive is the fact that you managed to do this under 24 hours.
I didn't have a second player so I review this from one player perspective. I can imagine things getting pretty intensive in multiplayer. Thief has to be really careful with flashlight use, but can also get lost really easily without it.
Having main menu as a tutorial scene is clever idea. I found things easy to adapt and jump in. Music is thematically fitting. It has kind of desperate undertone. Maybe thief is desperate for loot? Otherwise there are not many sounds in the game. Maybe there could be footstep sounds when the thief is moving and the guard is close enough.
Pixelart is really good. However using such a distant camera on main level, makes the effect of the pixel art suffer a bit.
Overall pretty good entry!
I really had fun playing this game. Keep it up! And I love your pixel art :)
@olga-shershneva Thank you so much, I haven't been making pixelart that much so it means alot hearing you liked it:)
@keppu Thx dude - for playing, for your input, and your constructive critisism! I loved your comment, and I'll have it in mind when I have time to make an update:)
