Really loved the pixel art on this one and the play on the theme. Each scene takes you into finding out who planted the bomb etc.
Great job and very unique.
Could you please play and rate my game as well?

Thanks! Will do!
Please do! Thank you and good job on your game!
Really nice game and art, good job!
Thanks!
Really nice art and game! One small thing is I would have the diologue boxes finish when you press E/Space instead of just closing. Good job!
Thanks! I agree, but the way I implemented the dialogue system made it so that couldn't work!
May I ask how you did it?
There is a good Brackeys tutorial on a similar system to mine!
I'm asking because I had the finishing thing in the dialogue system in my game and I could maybe help you if you wanted. If not nbd.
Yeah, I just checked it out! I would definitely be interested to see how you did it!
How did you implement your scrolling? I did it so if it was in a state of scrolling and the button was pressed it would auto complete. Otherwise it would move to next.
Scrolling was done using a foreach statement. A letter would be added every frame until the sentence was complete. If the button was clicked it would just move on to the next piece of text.
Yeah so just add an if statement. Only move to next if complete. Otherwise make complete.
Thanks!
I loved it! I really felt the tension as though I was there, and felt so good when I finally beat it. The art looks amazing and the ticking sound adds very well to it, well done!
I have nothing bad to say about this game, really really liked it. Keep it up! Are you planning on updating the game in the future? I'd love to play an extended version :)
Would really appreciate if you could check out my game and leave a rating too, thanks!
I enjoyed it! Liked the back and forth between characters and the art style you used! I'd love to see the game develop even further! Great job!
Made it to all the endings I think. Clever little concept. Maybe have pressing "E" do the same as "Space" if you are already in conversation.
Thanks! I would have liked to have done that but the way I implemented the dialogue system made it so I couldn't do that sorry!
Don’t apologize. It was a really good starting concept 😊 if you have to already done so we would love a rating by you on our game too 👍
Already have!
This game was really cool! I like the little short narratives you have. The pixel art and sounds are really good. The only suggestion I have is that the sound effects are a little loud and also play after the action has completed. Otherwise is was really fun playing your game!
Thanks! I'm sorry about the sound effects they were very rushed!
The game is amazing!
Thanks!
Really good game i guessed wrong. but still it was a fun experience i really loved the game.
Thanks! Please could you tell me where you had to guess in the game? I would really appreciate that!
By guess I mean finding the criminal i choosed general but it was jhon
Sorry, I really tried to make it clear that john was the bomber! My bad!
Cool little game. You should make more levels for it. Also i somehow managed to disarm the bomb, without reading anything. Just cut all the wires.
Thanks! I'm not sure how you did that!
I guess i got lucky
Really cool game, nice mecanics and artsyle. The only things I noticed dialog sound was(for me at least) a little too loud.
Thanks! Yeah a lot of people have mentioned the dialogue sound wasn't great and I agree. The sounds were a rushed job!
I love it. i like the fact that it has a little story and different endings. Good job!
*maybe you sould also like to try and maybe rate my submission*
Will do! I'm glad you liked it!
I got 2 of the 3 endings (not sure how to get the last) and i love how dark it gets. a super great story game! reminded me a lot of the movie "source code"
Thanks! What endings did you get?
The once where you correctly defuse the bomb and the one where you incorrectly defuse the bomb
Ah cool! If you are interested you get the final ending from either arresting the wrong person or arresting the right one!
ah ok, will replay it :)
Amazing game! Great storytelling, the multiple perspectives was genius! Loved it all!
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Wow really nice game! I love Pixel Art! The sounds were super nice and it made a bunch of fun to play! Thanks for your submission!
Thanks so much!
Good job! this was a nice little story game!
Thanks!
I love this style of game, I loved the art. A few things you couold make it better:
-running
-longer game(obviously)
Check it out the game "Uncanny valley", it could be a great inspiration.
Your game is very short but I had a lot of fun, please make a sequel, bigger story with great plot twists and character(maybe in a mansion with a murderer). Start working on this because I want to play hahaha!
Nice job, gave it a good rating for this!
I'm really glad you liked it! Your improvements are all great and I think it would be really fun to make a sequel! I really like your idea of a murder mystery!
Just don't forget to message me when released, I'm actually hyped for it, if u want I could help too. I love stories, specially misteries!
I would love that! Do you have a discord?
Great Game
Thanks!
pls play and rate my game too: https://rakshit-ranjan.itch.io/rewind-knight

But... but I tried to stop it! Why didn't I stop the bomb?!? WHY???? All joking aside though, great little experience. Very Humorous. Please play our game if you haven't yet. We appreciate it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I will play your game very soon!
