The reaper never sleeps, he's always working.

Two modes to play, either be the hunted or the hunter.

• As the hunted, see if you can outwit the Reaper and survive the day by finding a key in each area then making it to the exit! Use the cabinets to hide if he's too close or on your tail. (Check the screenshots for a map of possible key locations if you want. Keys aren't explicitly shown as they are slightly randomized but it may help to find your way. One key per area, with three potential drop points). 
• As the hunter, cats have always been your nemesis (it's that whole nine-lives thing). Collect them all and you've won the day!

Check your times against other players in the leaderboards once you finish a mode! This is the only part that doesn't fully match the GB Jam requirements as it uses built-in leaderboard options.

Keyboard Controls:

• Arrow keys to move player or toggle the mode selection
• Enter/Return to Pause or start a mode
• Escape while paused to return to the main menu
• A or Space to interact with items (cabinets and switches)

Mobile:

• Use the on screen buttons/prompts

Assets used:

• Thanks to everyone that has helped me on my journey to learning pixel art! Youtube, asset packs, my almost 40 years of playing too many games, it all builds together for figuring this all out and finding a way to take what I've learned into this project.
