Nice police detective idea.
GAMEPLAY
Fun concept to find the culprit, and trying to identify the suspect is engaging. The controls worked fine. Text could be a bit bigger maybe. PS: The play button could be more prominent to enhance user experience. First game I really had to search for it :-)
ART STYLE / VISUALS
The characters design are a standout feature, adding significantly to the game's appeal.
AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
Background music or more sound effects would enhance the atmosphere. I was surprised on first play when I first heard the loud shot..
INNOVATION
Not really applicable
THEME
The theme is lightly touched upon..check.
Solid game jam entry. Keep up this nice work with future updates or games đź’Ş
I really enjoyed this, and the visuals are so bizarre that I loved it
I'm not the best with detective games, but it was still fun giving it a shot! I like how unique the character lineups were. The point system was visually unclear, since it's the opposite of the guilty/not guilty scale. Labelling it with correct/incorrect, or changing the colors of the guilty scale could help. I also found a bug where if you keep clicking around on the characters after you hit the red button, they won't get pushed away to the isolation chamber lol. Excited to see the updated version and nice job for the jam!
Neat game, don't know if it intentional but I see black bars in some places.
We have some graphical errors we have to fix, but we're still working on the game and will be uploading a more polished version when it's done. Thanks for the feedback!
Interesting idea, I like how the characters become more of different syles in the later levels. I got 4-1 and it bugged when I ask the kid a question( the screen turned black). Its hard to give feedback as idk what is broken and not but I liked the game.
Thanks for playing! Yeah we still have some bugs we have to sort out, but we do plan on polishing it more in the coming weeks and updating it.
Good game, but I think you need to improve the graphics of the game, please try our game :)
Except the first crime the visual evidence did seem to match? I think it was the 4th or 5th one that bugged out on me. I wish full screen would’ve worked properly, and staring at that tiny little sheet to read the words got draining tbh. Also think it should tell you who was actually guilty if you get it wrong! Fun characters and problems though, would love to see what this looks like when it’s finished and polished if y’all are going to work on it more! :)
Thank you for playing and for the encouraging kind words! We're hoping to finish it and polish it out in the future so your words are encouraging! The photo evidence is unfortunately bugged, it did however happen that our placeholder image does corelate with Level 1 in some ways. We'll absolutely keep everyone posted when we manage to fix things!
The photo was the same for the first three cases, wrong for the cookies, the second one (bar brawl) seems like it was the right one?, and then wrong for them murder. Then it changed for the fourth (park fire) to a match which was accurate, and the fifth one (clay store) had the purple spill and eggshells… I think the sixth one was something different too, but that’s the one where talking to people seemed to crash it.
The work you did on each character is great! Not sure I understand how to find the culprit though. I noticed the photo evidence doesn't seem to match the crime so maybe that's the piece I'm missing. Really fun concept though.
Thank you! Unfortunately the evidence is bugged out! Glad you managed to enjoy!
Hi, i loved the Character Design, especially the bee one or kinda of, they were pretty unique, i hope you guys can develop more unique characters and play as the detective was brilliant! And don't forget about the sound!
Yeah unfortunately the music was turned off and the visual element to the evidence is not working, we are planning on a fix for after the game jam because we're still excited to get a better finished product
Bummer, the game sounded cool in paper, but it's broken. If you fix it, let me know, I want to play it.
