Naughty Teddies Invade the Museum

Deep underground, in this one museum's private vaults, naughty teddies keep teleporting in to destroy the artifacts. The only way to stop them is to chase them down and give them a good cuddle. The fate of the private collection is on your shoulders...

• Chase Teddies around 7 Vaults filled with priceless - and extremely fragile - artifacts!
• Get judged on your performance by The Curator - can you score 3 stars and have The Curator deem you splendid?
• Turn the tables in Demolition Mode and try to destroy more artifacts than the Teddies can! (unlocked per vault when you complete it in Protect the Museum Mode)
• Customise your character's colours and facial features!
• Create as many User Profiles as you need to store and separate character customisations, settings and score records!

System Requirements

Weakest system tested on is a laptop with a dual-core Intel Core i5-7200U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 620 (integrated graphics). Stays over 50fps @ 720p on Easy, though on higher difficulty levels (more Teddies on screen, more to process) it becomes necessary to scale the Resolution down in the Options Menu to keep an acceptable framerate.

Most powerful system tested is a desktop with a quad-core i5-4460, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 1050Ti. Solid 60fps @ 1080p.

Known Issues

Text scales weirdly on Nvidia on Linux when in Fullscreen mode (scales fine on Intel, not tested on AMD).

Options Menu doesn't appear to close when Fullscreen set on Linux. Screen only updates when game loses focus (i.e. alt+tab away and back to the game and it will have unfrozen).

MacOS and Windows throw a wobbly about unsigned apps if you direct download, but are cool with you running the game from the Itch app, so I heartily recommend doing so.

Tried Mac builds on a borrowed Macbook Pro, but they ran painfully slow, despite the hardware being way more powerful than my puny laptop running Linux (elementary os). When I can borrow it again to spend some time working out why it runs so slowly on Mac, I may be able to put out a Mac version.

Solved the performance issues on Mac, and while it mostly plays fine, there are some strange bugs which never appeared in testing on Linux/Windows, such as Teddies occasionally being invisible, or the happy heart particle effect never ending. My 7 year old thinks they improve the game, and who am I to argue?

Tried a Windows build in a VM and it ran upside down and wouldn't take keyboard input. At some point, I will probably do a bare-metal Windows install on my laptop to properly test a Windows version, but in the meantime I'm not willing to release a game that I can't guarantee won't render upside down and refuse input.

Finally made space on my laptop for a Windows partition and it works fine, except the .exe has the default Godot icon, and the whole thing seems to break if I change the icon.

All this to say, it runs fine on my machine. Tested on elementary os, Pop!_OS, Manjaro XFCE, macOS Big Sur and Windows 10, so I'm looking forward to reports that it doesn't work on Fedora, Mint, Gentoo, etc...
