Play as Doc and Snuggles, his pet cat, to steal all the gold on each level. Gameplay involves utilizing all of Doc's tools and Snuggle's ability to reach high places. Move crates, pull switches, freeze unsuspecting civilians, teleport around, and most of all steal gold.
The compo version features 6 levels, and takes about 15-20 minutes to complete.
WASD to move; Space to interact with objects; 1 2 and 3 switch gadgets; and the mouse is used for Doc's tools. Pressing Z will toggle control between Doc and Snuggles.
To run the LOVE version, you have to install the LOVE framework, linked below.

Thanks to my friends for keeping me honest and motivated. A very special thanks to the viewers on my livestream cheering me on and their support throughout the weekend.
Got some feedback that the controls are a bit confusing. Here's a bit more in depth explanation:
a/d to move left/right w to jump z to switch between Doc and Cat
Space bar to interact with signs and levers and vaults.
Gadget 1 is hands: click on boxes to pick them up. You have to be close to them. Click again to drop it. Gadget 2 is freeze ray: Hit people to freeze them in place. Gadget 3 is portals: Left click is exit, Right click is entrance.
switching led to some interesting puzzle solving. Only one of them has to reach the door though in order to get through, so that felt a bit weird. some of the people look zombie-ish?
Wow, there's, uh, a lot going on in this game. There were lots of buttons, and I feel like I was going all over the keyboard and mouse buttons to do stuff. Music was good for the first few minutes, but it got really repetitive toward the end of the game. I'm looking forward to the next version!
I liked it! Reminded me of the Lost Vikings. It didn't take long for me to get a hang of the controls and I liked how far you took the core mechanic.
However, I tried putting both portals on top of each other and I ended up hearing a terrible noise. Maybe make a check to see if the other portal isn't right on top of it and deny deployment?
There's too much going on with the controls, they aren't smooth. E.g. hitting space to close the textbox i just opened with space would make so much more sense.
I don't feel the evil rising in me, maybe it's the lack of display of the gold I've stolen so far, or the lack of any sign of danger. how about police cars arriving outside after a while, making their way through and hunting me. just 1 * for the theme. The puzzles though are great fun.
I think I got the doctor trapped...if that's the idea of the game, then that's ingenious! Never would I have expected the cat as the double-crossing villain!
Seems to be using WASD without keysym conversion, so even when I tell my OS to temporarily switch my keyoard layout to QWERTY is still acts as though it is Dvorak. Makes gameplay basically impossible for me.
Sing: I'm sorry to hear about your input trouble, I hadn't thought about alternate keyboard layouts -- next time I will!
Where are you falling through the floor? There are issues with doors closing on you and pushing you out of the level, but other than that I never encountered it.
This looked really interesting and fun but there were to many unpredictable collision bugs : the cat or the scientist suddenly teleports outside of the map making it impossible to complet the level. I couldn't go further than level 2 after 5 or 6 tries. Frustrating. I'd love to play a fixed version though.
