The audio is suprisingly great, i love the narration and the gibberish when they talk. Visuals are also pretty nice! Its really funny when you got Ghandi saying he was a great roman emperor :D

I really liked the game so dont take my critique too harsh, those are just minor things i noticed.

The ending could be a tad bit more satisfying.

One time Thomas Jefferson didnt give me an answere, so i just had to guess. And if you ask Einstein where he is from, he responds with new jersey which is his place of death, not where he is actually from.

I had quite a lot of fun with the game and i think you did a really great job, congratz on submitting!

Cute artstyle and nice idea for the theme! :)

Very very cute pixel art with the combination of Animal crossing sound! Game was easy to pick up and entertaining! well done!

Super fun concept! I really enjoy games like this. Kind of reminds me of Papers, Please, but it's very original.

Nice, I'm no good at history, but really appreciate this way of learning, you may want to expand this if you'll like teachers invest to your work, nice job!

I liked the voiceover narration at the beginning. It's a fun deduction game about world history characters which teaches history a lot better than most history teachers. Good job!

I got a few imposters in my shuttles, this was actually pretty challenging. This game made me realize that I am pretty bad at history. Great job on the game, enjoyed it very much!

Great game and execution.

I liked the idea, even though it's a bit too long, so I didn't finish it, I reached around 40 people on board (including impostors).

It's a great way to test your history information, a great way to prepare for a history exam!

Also, great voice story telling by the way, I wouldn't have read that if it wasn't for the narrator.


But on the side of things, why is Hitler one of the people that are supposed to restore human history lmao XD

Developer

Glad you liked it!
Unfortunately, Hitler was selected because the refugees from the past had voted him in. Hitler was actually very influential at the time and changed the course of history, even though he was a tyrant.

Awesome sound effects! Really stood out to me in this one. Really cool idea as well, unique design :D

Developer

Thanks!

Absolutely top tier sound effects and a really good base for a game - love the mechanic and how it was executed. Feel like with a few more things added onto it to spice it up (kinda thinking like papers please-esc) it could be a really fun game that I'd pay money to play. Felt like the graphics fit the audio really well.

Developer

Thanks prchristie! Papers please was actually a huge inspiration for this game!

Really thinking outside the box, nice idea and execution!

Developer

So funny and entertaining! I love the premise, the pixel art is super cute, and I liked the Charlie-Brown-teacher dialogue boxes. It's a good length, and overall really well designed. Plus educational! The only thing I would change is I'd shorten the amount of text at the beginning. But REALLY fun overall!

Developer

Thanks Gwenckatz! I loved your games as well.

Very fun and educational! For some reason I absolutely loved the sound effects too! The button presses, the fake dialog, etc. Great work!

Thanks BlackOpsBen!
