Lurking Lapine (8/2023 Gain Jam Entry)

Late? Yes. A whole damn week late for Fat Bunny Week. But I got this out in time for the jam. 
A somewhat stealth based action platformer, even if it doesn't fit the idea of the gain jam as much as my original, far overdesigned idea did, you're still working against two limits.
Time, and lessening ability. No not in real life, in game!
Give the game a shot, you'll see.

(OH, and read the Readme, it has a lot of stuff, but I'll put controls here as a just in case)

Controls:

A, D and Spacebar are your basic movement. Left, Right and Jumping respectively. A jump in a stealth game like this is strong, but it won't stay so for long!

Additionally, you have some other abilities, W can be used to interact with items, ranging from hiding, to picking up items, to stuffing your face, all very useful abilities.

S will allow you to dig a hole! If you're standing on a floor and you hold S, you can dig one, and may only have up to two. If you press W on a hole while you have another, you crawl your way into the other space... it's assumed you dug wide enough tunnels, yes.

You can press Q to eat food you have! This is... kind of your main objective, so it's a good thing to know to do. It's noisy though, keep an eye out for when you do! Don't let consequences creep up on you at a bad time!

Food isn't just for eating though... or uh, your eating, you can press E to throw it as a distraction! It also serves as quite the potent attack, but any food down their hatches is some that isn't yours, judge carefully!

You can also press X to throw a rock. Thankfully, the guards missed the seminars that had been going around ever since that "Solidified Serpent" went big...
Right, right. One more thing! Hi, first game, all that. I'm going off of -1 hour of sleep, so I 'm a little parse on the pleasantries, but any interest is appreciated, I at least gave it a strong shot on player sprites. (and enemy but, game maker said no to those...)

Made a small, literally last minute update.
Should fix softlocks, make the noises less painful, remove floor food, and fix holes spawning in the floor!

Additionally? I tried to make the AI a bit more dangerous, they're a little smarter now!

Made another update, fixed the remaining softlocks, for real this time.
Added more food and a counter for how much is on the map
A majority of the new additions don't rely on branches, and some of the food that did were moved to not, as to make more of the game still open once you do start thrashing twigs.
A few issues with the guards were fixed, including touching a branch making them ascending to godhood. They're still far from good, but better.
Small map adjustments
Special thanks to anyone who's playtested and/or given feedback! It's been helpful in making sure I can squash each and every issue that's been presented so far. (If you present the guards being stupid I will be very sad.)
[another small update, fixed a small oversight that prevented the third weight stage from fully climbing certain ladders]
