Hasty Heist
"Hasty Heist" is a game in which you play a thief who has a list of 10 things to steal from a house in under 3min30.
However, you only have one slot in which to carry an object. Other containers can be found in the house to expand the storage space.
Will you be fast enough to pick up all the items scattered around the house and escape the police?
Controls :
WASD/ZQSD : Move
Camera : Mouse
Left click : Pick-up
G : Drop last object
Made with Unreal.
Made with the Unreal asset "Assetsville Town"

Bien mais on ne peut pas poser son cerveau dans le monde de Cortex.

Another interesting take on the theme, the game was a bit hard to understand what you were supposed to do and the controls weren't clear, if you added the controls to the website and a description on the game it would help a lot for future plays, I also noticed the motion blur was really heavy and did hurt my eyes a bit so I had to move a lot slower to avoid that from happening, but overall this is a really wacky game and I love it!

Thank you very much ! Controls are in the itch.io but I agree that they must be in the game too.

Great take on the theme. Game looked great however it ran below 20fps for me which was not the greatest. Still fun run and grab game and a good entry :smiley:

Pretty good, and intresting. But i didn't understand how to get out before the end of the timer and just waited for the end, loosing sadly.
It's well polished and the idea of stacking thing on my back made me laugh. I wished it would stack every items instead of just "upgrade" items.
You could have paused the game with the list of items we should find before starting the timer, it could have make the player feel more like a thief planning home invasion :)
Great job !

It's a great first Ludum Dare. Keep going !

Didn't quite get it. I kept going into minus space (0/-12 for example).

Really cool idea! love the concept of playing as a thief and dashing straight to the second floor!
Moving was hard, and so was picking up things. I got caught by the police, which was a fun twist!
Please try our game and let us know what you think. Thanks!(●´З`●)

5 fps here xD

Pretty cool game. Fun and complete. I love the music! On the bad side, the low fps and motion blur made it difficult to look around esp. when I had more bags on my back.
Edom Games3 Oct 2023, 15:46
Interesting game but unfortunately I was getting really low FPS :(

MaksimJ3 Oct 2023, 16:05
I really like the idea of the inventory. The only confusing part was when I expanded it to 2 and 3 slots, both times I didn't notice it expanded, I just thought I picked up an item. I also really like the effor put into the mini cut scenes and stuff, great effort!

One really good game, the inventory system is really cool tho it's probably possible to win without even looking at the list.

captainzo4 Oct 2023, 08:49
@mathkarma Thank you for your return ! Yes it's possible but you have to be really lucky xD

It’s hard to believe it was completed in three days, greate game
LDJam user 3026594 Oct 2023, 13:14
Very fun game, nice theme

@kazuyuki @leiggarfeed Thank you very much for your return !

HolySparks4 Oct 2023, 19:19
Fun game and nice use of theme. I think the whole environment is great: if feels real enough, with a wide diversity of stuff there, it's just fun to play in and explore. Just gotta say that the basketball and some item in the bathroom spawned under the floor. I managed to pick the ball but for the other iten I had no luck

Watoo454 Oct 2023, 19:45
@holysparks Thank you for your comment and sorry, it's an issue that should be fixed in the updated version!
Cradac4 Oct 2023, 21:09
Really fun game idea! It took me a trip to realize that I had a list of what to steal and didn't just need to beat a highscore. I'm not so good at remembering lists like that so the gameplay mostly was me picking up everything in my way and dashing back to the van to drop everything. I think to this was made harder by the fact that items are not where you expect them in the house.

Oscar Berry4 Oct 2023, 21:32
It looks cool and makes me really want to play.
Unfortunately, the lack of help for the controls and, above all, the lags prevented me from playing. It would be good to try to optimize the game.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this game, it's an enjoyable experience! Good job!
CacaDePerro5 Oct 2023, 15:18
you're right, its simular to ours game haha, great minds think the same :D
Golovco Adelina5 Oct 2023, 16:33
reminds me of an old game i used to really enjoy. interesting take on the theme with limited space being the house you’re robbing lmao. great partake in the challenge!
EgorMnc5 Oct 2023, 19:26
nice game

ThunderChief6 Oct 2023, 03:50
Interesting game, nice !
Darkmax146 Oct 2023, 14:33
Enjoyed playing your game a lot, the frantic search for items was really fun

Jordan Neff6 Oct 2023, 14:42
Neat game! I like the theme tie-in with the inventory space and looting. As a heads-up though, you need to remove yourself from the graphics category :exclamation: since you used asset and icon packs meaning the majority of the game graphics were not created by you for the jam. It would be unfair to all of the teams and artists who did spend a lot of time during the jam creating wonderful art :art:

Watoo457 Oct 2023, 12:40
@jordan-neff Thank you for your comment, your right it's not fair, how do we do that?
AmunOnra9 Oct 2023, 19:41
Nice idea on the theme, great graphics and cutscenes! The mouse sensitivity was a bit to high for my taste and the FPS dropped a little low which made controlling the character quite hard when there many obstacles in one room.

LDJam user 37557818 Oct 2023, 07:36
Not bad, this is not the first time I’ve seen 3D on Ludum Dere, but at least this one will be more enjoyable

ScaryTreeGames18 Oct 2023, 07:38
Hah, the game is very exciting. It fits the theme of the current game jam. I felt like I was in the shoes of a thief. Cool!

Tetracold18 Oct 2023, 08:28
the game is decently fun, the way the theme is implemented is nice.
I am not gonna give a rating on the graphics since they are Unreal assets
The game can be fun especially when you are trying to get the objects as fast as possible while trying to increase your storage so you can carry more. there's decent variety with the objects. I also thought that the game over cutscene is kinda funny.
It would be nice if the motion blur would be tuned down. I have encountered quite a few objects that clipped though the floor though my runs.
I even softlocked myself by climbing here.
Game's pretty fun tho!

very cute game. Initially, I didn't figure out how to drop the item until I quited and found the control page on the menu. Maybe mention use G to drop item at the dropping area would be better?

Bravo
