I messed up my game’s topic somehow… The title has a bunch of random stuff I didn’t type…

@MyCraft_Steve it will be the first Friday in December. Sorry for the delay; we would do it next week but there’s no livestream because of [Thanksgiving](https://forum.makecode.com/t/no-stream-on-thanksgiving-week-11-24-25-11-28-25/40521).

The announcement livestream will be on **Friday, December 5th 2025** at **1:00 PM PST** on [twitch.tv/msmakecode](http://twitch.tv/msmakecode)

Thank you!! 😊  
And yeah, given the rush, there isn’t a tutorial yet. (But in the final version there will be!)  
Just click / tap using your mouse / touchscreen to start. Your goal is to not let the water drain out of the tank, so Ramune can keep dreaming and sleep through class! 😆 You do that by clicking on the ducks, activating a helpful power.

After I read this, I had no idea how this related to heists and stuff.

Oh, I get it now! Cool!  
Btw, I believe I have discovered a bug:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/a/8/a86716a5d898fc64a1807ab4361cb3272e922f73.png)  
The ducks are those lines of color at the very top, and they’re not coming down.

Thank you, noted! I’ve fixed the bug now 🙂  
I don’t think I can update the heist jam link with the most recent version, so I’ll probably make a new topic for developing this game.

</div>

Oh yeah… 😆  
It’s more clear in the most recent version, because the teacher is deliberately trying to ‘rob’ Ramune of his sleep, as math problem start to seep into the daydream and make it more difficult.  
(I don’t actually support sleeping through your classes if you can help it but it makes for fun gameplay!)

All this explanation… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Still, that must’ve been shown in the game too. Without that, it looks more like a puzzle game than an actual heist game.
