Hi,
I defeated the crime! This game was nice, way less boring than I would've expect it to be. The combat felt pretty good (different enemies and a power-up for the boss-fight) + I loved the idea of clues instead of hearts for this game. Only thing I can give you feedback on is polish; the gun doesn't rotate when you aim (or at least not for me) and some enemies spawned outside of the room (this wasn't a problem as the bullets would pass through the walls). Also: you did a good job on the music and the sound effects, they really make the game that much better!
Keep up the good work :)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback and for completing the game!
As I said also in another comment I agree with you, the first things we would do if we had more time would be polishing and balancing the game :)
I had fun with that! I loved the character design, and the touch with the window changing as you go to the door was really good. If I was to give any feedback it would be that the switch from the office to just being straight in combat was a bit sudden and having the pistol sprite flip vertically when aimed backwards would really make a big difference, but honestly those are both really nitpicky. Great job to everyone involved!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback and I'm happy you had fun playing this!
We would have liked to add more information about the story with some comics since our artists were really good and we had the story written down. Sadly we were short on time and we decided to cut this thing down :(
I totally understand that one haha, I had to cut some things at the last second in mine that would have made a huge difference
Great music and fun visuals! I may just be bad, but the first enemies seem to kill me rapidly, and are verrrrry bullet spongey.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the balancing has been done in a hurry so might need more attention :)
All good! You got the hard part out of the way now you just make it fun :)
Awesome game, love the Private Investigator theme and music that fits so well. Only complaint is that the combat is a little slow, if the gun did more damage or if there were some power ups to increase the pace a bit would definitely help. Great work!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback and yes, I agree with you :) If we had more time balancing and polishing would be the first things to do.
Art is fantastic, audio is great, story is fun, gameplay is engaging! Only real complaint is the fight against the nice lady with the hearts drags on a little too long. Otherwise honestly 10/10
Thanks for playing and kind words! glad you enjoyed the game!
Great job, I especially love the sound effects when you get hit, really sells the experience. I got softlocked at the gate of truth because one of the baddies spawned off the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for playing and sorry for the bug! really ran out of time xD
Awesome game! The character sprites are already really good! Would love to see this get developed further.
Thanks for playing! glad you enjoyed the game xp
