I liked the game! Really cool take on the theme and really cool vibe! I was confused at first at who I was controlling or what A/D were for, but after a couple seconds, I figured it out! Finding out the reverse of the controls was also a tad confusing, but an interesting take on it! I like it! There probably could have been a better explanation for how the controls work, though. Maybe a training level where the trio are at a practice area preparing for the heists, and they work through the mechanics to prepare for the big heist night? You could even implement a story into this game if you wanted! Cool idea! It is interesting how you control the two characters at the top and not the main guy. Figuring out the strat to the game was pretty easy, but I actually failed a few levels 1-2 times lol. The voice acting is kind of funny lol "I'll give 'em the ole razzle dazzle." XD The voice acting got a bit repetitive by around level 7, but still funny! The gameplay also started to feel repetitive by then, so if you were to continue working on this game, I would suggest either changing things up and have the hacker guy be the one you have to control more, or you have to alternate between the 2 a lot, or get the timing just right. It would be cool to either have to time a lot of the lasers just right to get through, but if you get going at the exact right time, you don't have to stop your character at all. I also think that pausing after a while should lower the alert level down, at least a tad. Being at the diamond seems to be the only spot that you can lower your alert level, which can make losing in the second half of the level kind of frustrating. Still, overall a good game! Great job!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I'm glad you appreciated it, and I agree with your suggestions! To clarify, you actually CAN lower the alert level when stopping... as long as the Hacker is at his laptop, which means the Cleaner is the one holding the rope from moving. The idea is that you need both of them to move the Thief up, and only one of them to stop him, otherwise he just falls. A training level would be great! Thanks again!
