Idea Thief (Reveal+Devlog?) Feedback and help appreciated!

I’ve been working on this little pulp game for 4 days so far, and decided I should share what I have already made! This game was thought up when I had already tried making two other games but coming across difficulties in coding, so I eventually settled on a more small and basic one that I would actually be able to finish. I had no idea what it would be, until I came up with the idea of stealing ideas, which I then made into the game so far!

The general plot is that you need to present ideas to your boss TODAY, and you have none. You watch a news broadcast which tells you that an artist named Antonio A. Art has come up with 10 golden ideas he keeps in his mansion, which just so happens to be across the street. You plan an idea heist!

The title card for now:

The starting area, your house:

The empty spot is for a treasure item that you can collect in the neighborhood area. Speaking of:

The mansion’s lobby that you break into:

And that’s all that I’ve created so far, except a couple songs and sound effects which I’ll share later!

Edit 1: I forgot to mention, there are 3.5 different endings, all of which I have programmed so far, and one of them is a very silly secret ending!

Gave it a go this afternoon, love the energy going into and looking forward to seeing what happens next with it. Feels like a perfect world for Pulp

That means a lot! Thanks for playing, I am a one-man-team so it’s especially cool to see my little demo of a game get played

Sneak peek of the next room ((there will be fewer updates because I am on a trip and I forgot to bring my computer, this is coming from my phone )):

Edit: Forgot to mention, I’m going to definitely remove the little rat and place it elsewhere when I can develop, and there miiight be some more worms in the little arcade!!

Edit 2: Worm added!!!
