This was an incredible game! the wordle minigame sections were really good and the dialog around them was really well written. The story was also interesting and I really enjoyed the mystery element that we had to solve

Wow, a murder mystery in a game jam what a feat! Really well done visual style and polish on everything, very impressive overall! The story was fantastic as well, it definitely took me a while for the solution to click but it all made sense it the end. Very good job!
This was a really fun game, and the Brainblast was great! Everything fit together really well and the story was entertaining.
I really liked the dialogue and the artwork. The brainblast puzzles are good and I like the build up to them but I wish there were a few more attempts, appreciate you putting the answers in the description page
Brainblastttt got only on correct without help!!!!!! really good experience with good music and good user engagement…. Loved it!
I really loved the game, and the visuals are spectacular, and btw when I read this line:
It made me immediatelly think of Brooklyn99 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIYuU2_rYP0
Wow, you really put a lot of work into the story. We should watch out for you in the story round. Overall, the art looked great and nailed the theme. I never played wordle before, but I really enjoyed it as minigame.
Great game you've made! Never played many detective games, so was really appreciative of all the hints!
Nice story with the mind-blazing detective. Would have wished a more mechanical implementation of the themes, but this is just a personal taste. Very nice visuals and effects in an all around great game!
Thank you! I feel you on the mechanical implementation I toyed with the idea a bit but if Im being honest. Im trying to use the game jams this year to help prototype some of the systems I want in the game I'd like to release at teh end of the year. So I decided to focus more on story but I agree, a more mechanical implementation on top of the story would have took it from great to super dope.
Pretty nice mystery game, with a cool overall storyline. The wordle minigame was a nice change of pace too, I just wish there was more guesses before losing it. Great entry!
I always really enjoy your GDKO entries, and this certainly did not disappoint. The atmosphere of the game was great, and the art was really cohesive. I also really loved the squares and the splat transitions. I think you implemented the Theme and Modifier in a really unique way. I would love to see this expanded further in the future, I really enjoyed this game! I kept getting the wrong answers but I finally got there in the end lol
