fun game! tho even with more than 5 faces, you can sometimes easily pick the right one because of how the features were generated

Curious what you used LMMS for, I couldn't hear any music. Love the aesthetic and that was really the only thing the game was missing.

Thanks for playing! I used it for the explosion sound which is two sounds combined one from Labchirp and one kick from LMMS. I also usually just use it to quickly get a mouse hover/click and some simple sounds like that. And yeah I didn't have time to compose a track since I only had one day to work on this.

I greatly enjoyed this, with more polish it could really be something. A couple of things I noticed: you can have 5 faces but if the color or one feature is unique to the perp, it's very easy. You should think about countering this by checking first and adding a certain amount of matching features to the others depending on the level. Or you can just add a timer that rewards you for choosing faster, that would be easier and I think make it more fun. Really good and simplistic game!

Thanks for playing! Yeah making the suspect not too unique would definitely ramp up the difficulty and combined with the timer idea it would make for some tense and exciting gameplay! It was rushed though that is why it is too easy and simple. Glad that you enjoyed the little game!

Very nice and fun game! It gets very challenging towards the end!
