I loved the style of it, but the thieves certainly could have used some more work visually, haha. Overall, nice simple game with cute art!

Gameplay is nice! Toy car is quite fast and simple to drive. Nerf darts are a game seller for me :D
If it was a full mobile game, I'd play it

Handy candies! v1.2The game is very fun, the music is good and the car control is great!
One thing I have to say, is that the game doesn't totally fit the game.

Duck HeistLoved:
- Gameplay was engaging and fun!
- The clever use of a child's playmat for the use of the special object.
- The darts being left behind was my favorite detail of play.
Consider:
- Multiple thieves would spawn, but only one thief indicator showed up. This was my biggest hang-up, since I did not figure this out until playing for 2-3 minutes.
- Make the world appear more like the child's playmat. The only reason I made this connection right away was the description of the game. Make things look more plastic or felt to emphasize the use of the playmat (like in Kirby's Epic Yarn).
- Music did not fit the feel of cops and robbers. Although good, I did not feel pressured by the music like I would want. Make it more exciting!

Crane YetiWOW! Thanks for the feedback!
"Multiple thieves would spawn, but only one thief indicator showed up. This was my biggest hang-up, since I did not figure this out until playing for 2-3 minutes"
I have seen many people complaining about this, we should definitely iterate more on the indicator.
"Make the world appear more like the child's playmat. The only reason I made this connection right away was the description of the game. Make things look more plastic or felt to emphasize the use of the playmat (like in Kirby's Epic Yarn)."
There is a carpet texture on all models but you're right, we could improve the look of the playmat.
"Music did not fit the feel of cops and robbers. Although good, I did not feel pressured by the music like I would want. Make it more exciting!
That wasn't our goal, we wanted to create a mood of a child playing and being himself.
Very clean game ! Easy to play and funny. Maybe could be enhanced with some bonuses, like moveSpeed boost or things like that. Great job anyway!

Santa's Impossible MissionA cool concept, and if all assets were made this weekend, I'l give props for getting everything done so fast.
10/10 would commit Drive-By in my neighbourhood again

Plastic Phantom Thief IvoryThis game is not safe! My child played this game and immediately started his own local police force and is now catching dozens of criminals a day! Neighbourhood is much safer however he no longer has any free time to spend with his parents! Do not let your children play Pew Pew Police!

Stolen TimeThis was very fun. Cute little tyke car with the police light on the top with nerf guns. I liked that the darts stopped and "stuck" in the ground. The phone leading you to the thieves is a neat touch.
I did notice the phone doesn't always point you to the closest thief, which makes it tough to eliminate them quickly. The dart hitting the thieves was a bit tough at times as well, with several missed shots.
Music was enjoyable while playing, and the map is creative.
Overall enjoyed the game a lot, nice job!
