//The Windows Build is the most tested, so it recommended.
#BEFORE YOU PLAY#
I coded everything tied to framerate. I regret this, so now to get the game in a playable state you have to lock framerate to 60fps, the easiest way to do this is set graphics options to FANTASTIC on the launcher.

REVIEWS FOR "THE HEIST" Willhelm: "7.8/10 too much gold"
Nice game, but you can really only get 1 shot off as the guard before someone else shoots you and kills you. Plus, the aiming mechanic is a bit cumbersome. Overall though, I managed to get ~$1200 so not a bad take at all.
The concept is great. I really enjoyed playing your game. Finished it on the second try, took me around 12 minutes. The only thing i didn't like, were the controls. The walking/standing stance requires some getting used, but adds to the difficulty, i guess.
Was just going to switch to a guard to clear the area before entering the vault with over ten thousand in my pockets and I press R instead of tab. At least a confirmation would've been nice. I stopped playing then and there, sorry.
Other than that it was a nice game. The AI was indeed quite dumb, but it still provided somewhat of a challenge. Graphics and audio got the job done.
I think it was a good thing that hacking and possessing were two separate things, since you could move to a safer place before possessing a guard in the open. The aiming mechanic did take a while to get used to.
AI may be simple, but works nicely for the map design. Still didn't get to the end because I didn't manage the hacks nicely. It's a nice challenge, and everything fits together in a nice way. :)
It would be a nice thing to see this expanded upon. It took me a little bit to get the aiming/shooting, but that's just me playing first and reading later. :P
I ended up playing this for half an hour in one sitting, and my final score was $5,577.
I agree with the others about the controls. There's no reason NOT to use the person you just hacked into, especially since they die after 6 seconds. Switching to an enemy and aiming should be automatic. Otherwise, I really like the game.
PROTIP: All enemies have only 6 bullets, so you can sometimes bait them into wasting all of theirs by forcing them to fire at walls or a hacked enemy. As long as they're actually out of bullets, you can walk right past them.
