Had a lot of fun with this game, played it with a bunch of buddies while goofing off after class. Was wondering though, is there any way to escape a guard after being caught?
Thank u so much for creating such awesome game. I spent whole day with my buddy today playing it and we really enjoyed. You know today there are very few games like this , simple and exciting at the same time (kinda classic arcades [Ps : I love arcades] )
What an amazing game, it's really a special type of fun that I'll never have enough of. Just wish it had more features like having ways to spend our money for stuff like lock picks and it'll be golden.
Hopefully you give it some update soon, my new favorite Pico-8 game :)
I thought that was a bug. I observed it only happen when I lose the previous game by getting caught (both guys busted or can't afford bail). If I loose by running out of money while skipping targets, I start new game without missing out on the first day.
Good question. It's the engine used (pico-8) that has this as default, and it's not possible to change. If I'd wanted to change it I have to do my own mapping, but it would only work for the web version, and then I'd have to deal with instructing different keys for web and the downloaded versions. Which I rather not do.
Oh yeah, there's an emulator for google play store called P8 player and i dunno if it's something with your game or with it being outdated, but it only runs about half the game. (No pre-hit info, sound is completely broken and text is half-broken.) Would you mind having a look? Love the game!
that was pretty long playthrough, but at some point too many cash decreases everyday, imagine spending 400$ everyday. But nice game, enjoyed playing with my friend
If one of your burglars are still on the loose you can escape and pay bail to continue to play (if you have enough money). If both burglars are caught the game is over.
hi, thanks for playing! thanks for the report, just so I understand correctly: when you think you have unlocked it, you press up to open, but it goes red?
hi, sorry for the late response When you have unlocked the safe with the correct code it will start showing a green light. If the red light is showing you'd have to start over.
how would one rob a safe or hack a computer if its a part of a guards path. is there like a item i can buy to restrain a guard? also i love the hit and run strategy with statuettes
hi! thanks for playing, so guards have hearing and can be made go in different directions (it's random). But sometimes the head security has just done such a great job that it's just impossible, then it's better live to burgler another day! GL
hi, it's supposed to be a cam control, so you can both see what the cameras see and you can also turn them off while you stand there. Cameras themselves have a little light to indicate whether they are on or off. Happy burglerin'!
But how would you turn off the cameras as you are there, is it like the green thing is the monitor selection and if you press up it turns of the camera? And if its black its off?
that is exactly right! but you can only turn off one camera at the time, and if you happen to select it again it will become active again. You can disable the camera of you go up to it with burglar nr 2 ;)

this warms my old burglar heart, thank you for sharing!
If only one of you get caught, the other one can escape and pay bail to continue, but that's the only way. It's hard for burglars nowadays.
i hope u won't abandon the game yet and will add more features ❤
how to crack the safe ??
hi, thanks for playing and commenting!
There's a little knack yo open the safe, you need to have the sound on and then listen with your best burglar ears...

this warms my old burglar heart to hear, thank you so much!
day 69, nice!

hi! thanks for playing and for the kind words, warms my burglar heart. :)
Why do I have to waste money on laying low for a day every time I start a new game?
well, if you had a stable economy to begin with there'd be no reason to go burglering ;)
I thought that was a bug. I observed it only happen when I lose the previous game by getting caught (both guys busted or can't afford bail). If I loose by running out of money while skipping targets, I start new game without missing out on the first day.
that do sounds like a bug tho 😅
thanks for the explain!
I like this game
I like this comment
Great game! We had a fun evening playing it with some buddies😁
that warms my burglar heart! thanks for playing and commenting!
boy, with that inflation it is no wonder people start stealing
Right?! We're all just honest burglars trying to get by
why 'sdfe' and not 'asdw'?

(I myself am not a big pico-8 nerd so i 'm not sure what the issue is.)
thanks for letting me know! I'll make time soon to see if there's anything I can do.
If it’s not too much trouble would it be possible to get a .p8 for those of us who have a handheld that doesn’t have wifi? Please and thank you. =)
hello! I uploaded the p8.png, would that suffice?
Much appreciated but the emulator will only run .p8 which you get from the pico-8 carts folder after saving.
I uploaded the p8 too now. Happy burglerin'! :)
(I'm curious, what emulator and handheld you are using?)
Thank you kindly. =)
I’m running MinUI’s Pico-8 on an Anbernic RG35xx.
omg, that's awesome!
It's easy for a burglars to get used to the high-life ;)
Thanks for playing and commenting, makes me happy.
is there any way to escape the cops?
hi, thanks for playing!
If one of your burglars are still on the loose you can escape and pay bail to continue to play (if you have enough money). If both burglars are caught the game is over.
ok thanks for telling me
So simple, and yet so good. My second favorite game on itch
oh you heart burglar you! thanks for playing and commenting!
I think the safe is broken because there is no differ in the pitch and when I think I have it, the light turns red.
hi, thanks for playing! thanks for the report, just so I understand correctly: when you think you have unlocked it, you press up to open, but it goes red?
I can't tell if I have unlocked it or not since the sound for you to push the left or right arrow key doesn't seem to change for me
hi, sorry for the late response When you have unlocked the safe with the correct code it will start showing a green light. If the red light is showing you'd have to start over.

So i found a bug where the guard got stuck in a wall here's some images:
He was only walking up and down forever
thanks for the report! they do be silly sometimes.
Very cool game i played it for hours and learned all tricks in the game >:)
hi! that's great! what do you think of disabling cameras? useful or nah?
VEEERY useful, when i discovered that you can disable cameras i literally became millionaire
haha niCE! I'm happy you enjoy the game!
How would you er use the wierd moniter thing the 4 screens
hi, it's supposed to be a cam control, so you can both see what the cameras see and you can also turn them off while you stand there. Cameras themselves have a little light to indicate whether they are on or off. Happy burglerin'!

ah, good to know. i thought is was just some game humor showing some pong game.
