Very nice game! I like the graphics and art style, the story is funny, and seamless continuity of story and gameplay in the beginning is very well made. It was a little hard for me to untie the solution, but that's probably because I'm not used to play similar genre. Great take on the theme!

That was really cool + great style ! I'm really happy to see an Ace Attorney like game in this jam !

Submitted

I love it! The game seems relatively forgiving when presenting evidence, which was nice. But it’s still strict enough that you can’t just do anything you want. I like the feeling of having some freedom in which angles of questioning I want to pursue. It still felt somewhat guided, but far less so than in the Ace Attorney games, which seem to have been a strong inspiration for this one.

I did run into one bug where the game crashes when you try to present the chips as evidence that Mr. Haver was not in fact trying to lose weight, but that’s the only time I had any issues.

Doyle is a delightful character, and his and Ms. Haver’s expressions are hilarious. The art is incredibly charming, and the story is funny. Definitely one of the best submissions I’ve played!

Awesome submission!  The art was great and the gameplay felt very complete (minus the missing audio).   Really enjoyed the game, even with my high score of -26 lol

I really  liked this one. It really grabbed my attention. Even though I did really lose it in the courtroom, because I tried to show the evidence but it didn't manage? But that might just be a user error once again. ^^"

I loved this! Generally not a fan of this genre of games, but the courtcase section got me :D
I lost horrendously though hahaha, but it was enjoyable looking for fake evidence!

Well done! Dialogue is well written for a jam :)

Submitted

Cool game, really like the simple art style. Good job!

Everything is great but the art style is the best. Had fun playing this!

Wow, your art is so good!

A beautiful little game. Well done on the art style, loved the effort put in there. I think you have a hilarious theme interpretation too - great idea!

Submitted

great concept + incredible artstyle

Submitted

Really cool! I wish there was a way to skip text faster though, since you have to replay through the evidence-collection to get to the court scene again.

Thank a ton for playing!  :)  Small spoiler, if you get the "ok" ending, Doyle tells you to press "G" during the intro to max out your text skip speed.  ;)

This was fun to play through, I really like the concept. Great work on this!

Actually, thinking more about it, this would be great as a full game. Would play more for sure.

Submitted

Fantastic humor and a great concept. I'd definitely play more of this

Submitted

Really cool Idea and looks great, and is lot of fun!

I love it! It's an amazing twist on the Ace Attorney formula, and an impressive 48 hour work. Wish it had some sounds, but less is more there.
