This was a lot of fun to play. Reminds me of some of these old and weirdly engaging flash games, in a positive way. I've lost many hours to this kind of game. I liked the art style, too - I saw that you made it all yourself, and that's quite an accomplishment.

I wonder if the game would benefit from being a little faster? As it stands, the first 100m or so are fairly straightforward, and the dodging only becomes interesting after that. Maybe the "grace period" could be shortened a little?

This could also work really well on mobile devices, with dragging the thief left and right instead of keyboard controls.

All in all, well done! This was fun.

• Use of Theme - 2
  • I understand what you were going for with the loot recovery but it kind of feels like a lazy interpretation of the theme imo.
• Gameplay - 4
  • The game is very fun and engaging. I enjoyed trying to master the rope stabilization (keyword trying, because its impossible) my record was 450$. The game design is very well done with the slow progression of difficulty, the clear objective and the variety of obstacles and loot. Overall a great experience. At first i thought that the light around the character meant something but i guess it was just for the vibes, which is not a bad idea but i think might create some confusion.
• Creativity - 4
  • I loved the interesting and unique rope mechanic, great job on that. Also the variety of loot and obstacles like i said above. But im just not a fan of infinite games, because other than trying to get a higher score there is no replayability incentive. I wish there were missions or levels.
• Art - 5
  • The game looks beautiful, very well done.
• Sound - 4
  • The sound design was well done, i just think the BGM is not very suitable? 

Haha I swing him a lot that he has hit everything possible 🤣🤣🤣

Super fun and cute game I would say. Nice job 👍

This was a fun and cute game! Wow I was bad at it at first and the little thief got pelted with arrows haha great job on making a fun game!

Good job for a solo submission. Had some fun with this one. 

I only wonder if you could have engage with the theme more. E.g. having the player have to choose when to get back out (recover) their loot rather than just pick it up and the more loot they had the harder it was to control. Maybe I thought of that because it reminded me of 'Tiger Tiger' Minigame from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that I have been playing recently.

I think it is a very cool concept of collecting treasures in this way while descending from a rope! I just feel bad for the thief -- he has to endure a lot!
