Great visuals and fitting music. I couldn't finish the game because of too tight corridors. Controls would have been nice to see, even if only on the itch.io-page. I like the hiding mechanic with the boxes though. Good entry for the jam.

Nice presentation, but the gameplay need some severe polishing.
The biggest thing needing of fixes has to be the character's collisions, since you can barely even walk through some of the corridors...
The art and music are cool! I noticed that the music doesn't loop, it just stops playing after a while. I also wasn't sure about button mappings - like someone already said below, I had to brute-force to figure out how to get out of the box again :) The game would benefit from some instructions that explain the goal of the game and how to play.
Cool game!
- I really like the promo art and main menu. Guard dogs were fun. You have a great artist on your team.
- I liked how the cat jumped into the box when nearby, it is a cool mechanic. Also it was nice to see where guards are looking.
- I could not figure out which buttons to press - I wish there were tips (e.g. press Spacebar to crouch, press Q to exit the box). Just keeping the objective\gameplay summary in text on top of the screen would be helpful (e.g. 'Follow the error! Guards increase your time, these objects decrease your time. Boxes can be used to hide, crouch (Space) to move slower').
- Background music was neat, and it was nice to be able to change it in the settings.
- The arrow pointing to where to go was very helpful, I would be lost without it.
- The scope of the game was just right for the jam length
Good work!
