I always appreciate different takes on the metroidvania genre. I like the inventory system, the writing and all the NPC:s too, though I was overwhelmed by how many of them there were at first.

Some remarks:

-The control placement is kinda weird and moving is rather slippery too.

-Only the fullscreen mode shows the dialogue options but then you can't see the item descriptions.

-I was able to glitch through one of the sus-looking walls by scurrying but couldn't get back for a while. After mashing the interact button the wall disappeared and I was able to leave, yet my explosive wasn't consumed. So yeah, I have no idea how they work.

-Got stuck on the luggage quest. I gave the ticket to Roughage but didn't get anything from him.

I like the noir aesthetic.  And I like the use of an inventory system that mattered how large objects were.  The dialogue options were also fun.

Gameplay was a little sensitive on my computer (slight move to left or right moved very quickly). Camera could use a dampening effect (maybe try cinemachine virtual camera).

Overall, really nice job and I like the uniqueness of it.

I really enjoyed this! I liked the art style. I wish there was more variety in the platforms or buildings, I found myself getting lost. Something simple like putting signs on the shops or numbers on the apartment doors could help give the player landmarks to navigate by.

There's controls for selecting different dialogue options and the characters seem to talk like I'm saying things to them, but I never saw any dialogue options. I didn't play the game in fullscreen because I wanted to see the controls on the itch page, so maybe the dialogue options  were not visible because of that.

I couldn't figure out how to give the nose to the performer, but I did get the briefcase upgrade at the store. I was really excited by the briefcase upgrade! At that point I had filled my inventory with dollars and rope, so an upgrade felt good at that point in the game.

I figured out scurrying up walls (really fun btw) but couldn't open weak walls with the explosive or use the ropes. I got the ropes on the hooks, but didn't know what to do from there. Some clarity would be helpful. The instruction dump at the beginning was overwhelming, I think some more organic learning (like the guy who teaches you long jump) would help the player learn more effectively.

Overall I really liked this game. It was charming. Even though it's a bit unfinished and clunky (like most jam games lol) something about it really stuck out to me. Very curious to see if and how you build it from here :)

Intriguing take on metroidvania! The art style and the narrative focus really stand out. There are some great extra details too, like rearranging bag contents to make stuff fit. I'd be interested in playing an update with more details added (e.g., music and sound) and some issues ironed out (e.g., tightening the controls). Good work.

FYI I got stuck in the dark a couple times by scurrying through a wall without a light. 

Interesting adventure and style. Good overall. Excellent story writing.

I had technical troubles opening rolling gates, once accidentally just get through without opening it, and stuck in that room.

Character movement feels somewhat inertial/slippery.

The overall game feels entertaining, and the puzzles are pretty challenging. The only feedback I would give is if your character's Rigidbody2d hasn't used "continuous" for collision detection mode yet, then I would recommend it for the speedy character. Yet again, such an entertaining game! 

I liked the concept and art style, but the character felt glitchy and I had trouble giving the clown their nose.
