It's amazing to me that this was made in a mere 48 hours. That's an incredible accomplishment. I enjoyed this game quite a bit (I got 8 out of 10 correct) and appreciate having had the opportunity to try it out.
I jotted down a few ideas or suggestions that I had while playing:
- A "new game" or similar button at the end would have been nice, for players who wanted to start back over again easily and try another round of it. Not strictly necessary though. It's easy enough to close out the game, reload the page, and try again.
- Adding an element of randomization would really help give the game better replayability. Of course it would require more dialog to be added, either having multiple variations per character, or maybe add more characters that the game could randomly pick from out of a pool of 20 total or something, with 10 for each game session.
- You could also add difficulty levels with easier clues and more vague/cryptic ones too. You already do have a degree of variance with that in place as it is.
There were also a few spelling/punctuation corrections to make in some of the dialogs that I noticed:
Granny's Lines
"I'm sorry to bother you but I seem to be in a bit of a pickle."
Should have a comma after "you"
"Oh, wont you please help me find the one who did it?"
"Wont" needs to have an apostrophe.
"My grand kids never believe me when I warn them about that but its true!"
"Grand kids" should be "grandkids" instead, you need a comma after "that", and "its" needs an apostrophe.
"Scars? Oh, heavens no, I would hope not. Even for a ruffigan like themselves."
You may want an exclamation point instead of a period after "not" for emphasis. Also "ruffigan" was intentional I'm guessing, as a portmanteau of "hooligan" and "ruffian"? If not, you probably want to pick one of those two instead.
Farmer's Lines
"I could barely tell under all that thick bushy beard."
You probably want a comma after "thick" here for a natural pause.
"Ain't you listenin?! Dark! Dark hair, I say! HE MILKED MY COW!!!"
"Listenin" should have an apostrophe at the end.
"Lookin' real guilty of a COW MILKIN! But I can see RIGHT through that facade!"
"MILKIN" should have an apostrophe at the end.
Art Gallery Owner's Lines
"I require reperation for the incredible wrongdoing done to my establishment!!"
"Reperation" should be "reparation" instead.
"Unbothered by the atrocities they have committed! But no winds or lashes is stronger than me, an art gallery owner."
Either change "is" to "are" to reflect the plural, or change "winds" to "wind" and "lashes" to "lash" to make it singular instead.
"Like it didn't bother pulling it's weight when the face was molded from the earth."
"It's" should be "its" here instead, without the apostrophe.
