How does your game fit the theme?
The actions you can use are all "Joined Together" you can only use the actions in a predetermined sequence of your making. The sequence can only be used a specified number of times the order of the sequence can be changed at the start of a level by dragging the words near the clock and swapping them . Tut they are always "Joined together"
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?
Yes
We created the vast majority of the art during the game jam

Interesting proof of concept could definitely be expanded upon. The current puzzles were very easy, but there probably wasn't enough time for more puzzles :P
Also, the ability to change command order is cool, but definitely needs more actions or a longer chain to be actually challenging.
All in all though, nice little game, I enjoyed it ^^
Yeah, given 3 days i think there would have been more puzzles!
@Biped Potato, its an interesting good, good puzzles good job mate :D
Thank you!
Nice concept, a good basis for clever puzzles!
Thanks!
Good idea.
Also the concept can be implemented a different way if you want: change the action chain and watch it simulates the detective.
Thanks for playing my game! Yeah but if you let the player control the movement it will allow for more flexible puzzles.
I enjoyed this game quite a lot, awesome concept! wish it could be a bit longer :)
I don't have any criticism but a couple ideas. first one is obvious probably but it would be cool to have extended sequences, up to who-know-how-many moves. and the second one is to try to make the detective following a sequence without player's input somehow. it could make a completely different game though, I just thought you may find it interesting to experiment with
Thanks for playing my game! Those are all good things to add, too bad the jam is over :(
I'd say it's worth it to explore it further after the jam is over!
Nice puzzle game! Had a blast!
Thanks!
Nice game! It's a bit too easy with only 3 option slots however. I didn't even realize there were limited actions until the 2nd to last level.
There are many ways to elevate the depth of this game. Here's a similar idea that I think does this really well.

Yes it does seem pretty similar! It does seem a little bit easy as i didnt have a lot of time.
I really like programmed action games like this. It's fun to try to noodle out the correct sequence then execute a plan successfully. I wish you had a little time to flesh out the mechanics a bit more. With just two actions and stuck with two moves means there are very few permutations for the solution. It all boiled down to when you want your two moves to happen in relation to where you begin. Puzzle games are super tough to balance though. But falling on the simpler side is better than the too tough.
This is a great submission for just 48 hours and has some nice polish. Well done!
Thanks for playing the game! Kind of funny but my brain was kind of being wierd for the first day. I interpreted 48 hours as 3 days and when i realized it meant i only had two days the game was kind of barebones.
Oh no... that's a scary mistake and realization. Glad you were able to get something turned in!
This was a fun game, I'd love to see more words being added to the chain and maybe having it be longer. The delay between moves could be reduced for more fluent gameplay but other than that great job!
Thanks for playing my game! I wanted the gameplay to be smooth so i had delays. Maybe not the best choice?
This has a lot of potential, the core of working around the chain is a fun concept, executed well. I'd probably play a post jam version!
Thanks for playing my game! Yeah, i may or may not make a post jam version.
Really nice puzzle game^^ It's very satisfying to smash three boxes at once =D
thanks! I made sure to adjust everything just right so it would be very juicy!
A fun puzzler with lots of potential for complex levels. I especially like the visual of the moves always swinging on the chain and that smash animation!
Thanks for playing my game! I do think that the chain would stop swinging given enough time as i just attatched a hing joint (Nothing special). Your game was also very fun!
The hand animation is amazing. The game was great, would like to see more environmental hazards if expanded upon.
Thanks for playing the game! Yeah this game was made in 2 days so i didnt really have any time to add environmental hazards and such.
Good fun. Would like to see it expanded, with longer chains and more actions to really push the puzzles.
Yeah if the chain is larger than the puzzles would increase exponentially!
I liked you idea, and the game is really fun. Although i would have liked to see other connection with "Linked Together" other than the links of sequences.
if you'll excuse i will keep smashing music boxes.
Glad you liked the Game! Gameplay wise though i cant really think of any other way to incorporate the theme.
Such a clever idea! chaining together moves was definitely interesting! I had a bit of a hard time figuring out how to start the game but once i got it, it was definitely fun!
Thanks for playing my game !
