I think a short tutorial would be nice, as how you actually play the game is a bit confusing, but it looked really good!

Nice game! I would make the escape more clear but otherwise it is fun to play!

Strange Places: Moving CompanyThe idea is really nice and creative, but it feels a bit confusing at times, which makes it harder to fully enjoy. With a bit more clarity, it could be even better.

THIS PLACE IS OURSThis was fun and chaotic. The 30-sec limit makes it instantly stressful. You don't have time to think, you just grab and go lol. After a few runs I started to remember where the good stuff was and it turned into this frantic optimization game. I liked that new levels unlock based on a max amount stolen to give me something to work towards. And the music speeding up as time runs out? That absolutely adds to the panic. Also, the text at the start of each level are hilarious.
I'm a fan of the directional navigation for the UI, never had to touch my mouse so that is much appreciated. It was very respsonsive.
Short runs, super replayable, and just the right amount of hectic. Fun concept.

Where Left Socks GoThis games really cool! I like how fast paced it is but that 3rd level is a BIG jump up in difficulty, I couldn't find enough high value items to beat it? But overall the graphics and sound are great. Well Done!
(PS this isn't that important, but a sensitivity setting would have been appreciated as I thought it was naturally a bit high)

Cosmic ColoniserHonestly, a really good game, the music was perfect for the kind of game, and I loved the artstyle.
I loved the fast phase of the game, and this interpretation of the theme was pretty creative.
And even if it got me a while to beat the third level, I kept trying it, because I was having fun. It was a really good game, nice job!

The forbidden tacoThe game cycle has a way of pulling you back for that one more run experience, while every time ensuring you do feel the pressure. I would have loved the addition of "stranger" to the places, other than the mundane. This isn't usually my cup of game, but I did give it a few runs never the less :)

StarFish : Plaices in Strange Placesthank you for the feedback! we tried to go for a feeling of strangeness as in not knowing the place and where to look for what, and have a novel take on the theme. could be interesting to take it to 'weirder' places tho.
regarding the replayability: you just have to dangle a highscore in front of people and they'll naturally try to beat themselves, as you know ;)
Easy to understand and the constant need to get a better score ! Great game!

Strange FollowerReally great use of audio, I really felt the time pressure. The flashlight view was great, too. And really novel take on the theme, love it.

Some Normal GamesVery entertaining! Didn't quite manage to make it to the end, but I really am the worst thief alive lmao

The Doll RoomCool and fun game, I like the amount of stuff you can steal, it was driving me to play more so I can see what else can I steal. Good job!

Hitchhiker's Guide to HeroismInteresting concept! I like the idea of grabbing as much as you can quickly. Nice work.

Edge of Reality Travel AgencyThe Brackeys Godot CRT combo is unstoppable!
This was sick, so fun, the music is great and the gameplay is super fun and intuitive. The music and sirens ramping up does a great job of making you feel rushed.
