FYI, and maybe it's just me, but I'm getting a 404:

It's a little funky on the embedded player; it's better on Itch, but you might want to make the game window a bit bigger in your Itch page settings. Nice effort, though!
Nice job! Lots of people on this one. I liked the art and audio of the game it was fun, animations were simple. I had a hard time telling if I was doing a good job or not? It felt like there was not enough player feedback. Good entry!
@threeli hallo dear！ thanks for the feedback, yesterday we fighted until last second to fix this problem,would like to invite you try our new version! It would be grateful if you enjoy it!
The art style is breathtaking! This is so polished for a jam game. The sense of design is amazing, from the UI to the itch page itself. The motion design is fantastic and the BGM is a perfect match! My only small piece of feedback would be to maybe tighten up the game feel. But it's an amazing game nonetheless!
This was quite fun! I got a divide by zero error that broke the game on the collection page when hitting the right-side arrow, but beyond that it was great
I played it, great work! I agree with @haka and @gold-daniel, a minor issue with player feedback feeling a little nebulous but honestly this feels close to a professional design. Pretty blown away by the amount of work on display here. Are you and the team considering working on it further?
I love the art, music, and how it all comes together! The raven is adorable and I enjoyed all the little touches of personality. I agree with other commenters that the lack of feedback makes it hard to tell how well I'm doing. Awesome stuff overall :)
The art and music are really standout here, the whole thing has a lot of character. It would be nice if there was a touch more feedback on some of the interactions. Would love a meta game with the items you steal. Really nice UI work.
I was drawn in by the cover art and am truly amazed by the level of artistic detail, which I really adore. What surprised me was that even the mouse cursor icon was customized—it's absolutely adorable, and I love it so much. However, the art style feels quite inconsistent once you enter the game. Especially when stealing items, a square image suddenly pops up, which really breaks the immersion. This could have been executed better.
@adrien-tremblay Thank you for your suggestion—it's been very helpful! Could you clarify what exactly you mean by “perspective”? Are you referring to the window size in which the game runs, or the perspective of the game's background visuals?
@santen. Like the world appears to be from the top-down perspective ie. Camera looking straight down. But the characters are drawn as if from a side view (camera looking at them from the side). So it jsut feels a bit wonky
Very pretty game. Nice music too. Love the premise. I tried so hard to steal as much as I could! The little crow sounds were so cute. And the objects he stole were very shiny too. Very well put together. Perfect for the jam.
@adrien-tremblay Oh, I see! Thank you for your suggestion. We hadn't realized this issue existed before, but we'll make a note of it and try to make adjustments in the future. We're very happy to receive your feedback—thank you so much!
As others have said, the art is really good! I feel like the gameplay could be improved in some areas, with some obstacles like furniture or buildings to avoid, or humans with different behaviors - anything that would add some variety. Also, small detail, but I appreciated the settings menu.

Hopefully it is just needing to rename it?
