Bob the Rob is a robber in training. He want's to prove himself and steal the most valuable Vase from the reknowned "Maze Museum of aetherial art and Liminal spaces - M.M.O.A.A.A.L.S".
Help him navigate through the corridors and rooms, pickup keys to unlock doors and scissors to cut through tape barriers. Luckily a map of the museum is drawn with each step you take.
Can you find the ancient and extremely valuable golden Vase and bring it back to the entrance and your Car?

We did not manage to finish phase two - which was planned to start when you pick up the vase. We envisioned an alarm going off and guards chasing after you while you rush back to the entrance. This alarm phase as well as the mini-map, signaling where you went or didn't go yet, was the signal-part of the jam theme, so we removed the theme category from our ratings ;) Just in case you were wondering.

Controls:
Walk with WASD or Arrow Keys
Items are collected in your inventory and used automatically when you touch barriers and doors

It's a fun game, the mechanics feel smooth. I don't see much relation to the theme though.

Really liked the art style, and the minimap works very well, very nice to add the colored dots to remember what places you need to still investigate. I might've liked some kind of timer or something else, I was missing a bit or urgency for being a heist.

I just like the dude's design, he looks so goofy 😏
The game itself is great too, you did a great job (and just NAILED the main character)

Nice game, but there does not seem to be any relation to the given theme

Thanks everyone @sylvic @t00nbink @lost990 @nno1 @ekopeko @msipp27 for your feedback, glad you liked the little character!
Yup we didn't get to finish the signal part apart from the map. We had envisioned a "phase two" - when you pick up the golden vase it was supposed to sound an alarm and guards were supposed to chase you on your way back to the entrance. So yeah we removed the theme category from our rating options :)

I'm very pleased with the responsive controls. Thank you so much for the minimap.
Although, I must say that having such a detailed minimap simplifies gameplay.

Thank you for your game, it's cute and cool!!

The gamefeel is really good, it's great to run anywhere with this little guy ! My PC took off like an airplane but it was fun to steal this legendary golden vase.

The game is fun to play, it would be great to have a hint in the form of various signals that will help you find the vase

@indiepanda Indee we could improve it, in fact we still want to implement "phase 2" - the chase phase after you have found the vase. Alarms will go off and guards will chase you until you rech the entrance 👍

@mortith Thanks so much for your feedback, makes me very glad I dabbled in rigging and animation this time around (not to experienced in it yet)
Yes it's still very unoptimized, sorry for the bad performance ^^

Pretty fun maze game! Some music would make it even better. And if you add chase mechanics later on, I'd enjoy it even more

I do think a phase 2 would really help the game - let the player scope out the museum's layout and prepare an escape by cutting / opening barriers. The idea reminds me a lot of Monaco if you've played it. Either way, I still enjoyed the breezy heist, so good job :)

While it's a shame that the second part had to be reduced in scope, the core feels very smooth and pleasant. As a fan of the heist genre, wish you luck in expanding the project if you ever feel like it, well done!

Fun game to play, only issue i faced was the constant looping all the way back through the maze sometimes through the massive winding maze. Still a very good game! Good job :)

I liked how the mini map is drawn as you progress through the level.

Finally, someone tells the true story of what happened with the Louvre Robbery last October!
Decent entry, ran smoothly, easy to understand and straightforward execution. Nice!

Just, kind of a mixed message ;)

Great little maze game, had fun exploring around and even became a little obsessed with checking every corner to see if there were any extra easter eggs laying around. Character model is very cute and I loved his little run animation with the particles popping up. GG!

my pc sounded like a jet engine taking off but stealing a golden vase as a silly little guy was worth the lag

Loved the character design! :smile:

Would be fantastic with some sounds and music to add to the vibe, and some guards on patrol to avoid using the mini-map.

I really also wanted to drive the car away at the end with the vase in the boot :smiley:
