The game is unfinished in a few spots but even so it was fun.
I enjoyed the blackjack minigame as well.
Nice job 👍

The luminol shooting mechanic is interesting. I wonder what it will reveal?
Congratulations on the submission!

MoonstruckNice scope for a game like this, especially the blackjack mini-game, even if you had to leave some things unfinished. The sprites worked well and the characters had personality and an Earthbound quality.

Stranded on a Garlic StarLooks cool, solid game. You put the control info wrong, Jump is not "A", it's "X" is think.

Space ShooterSolid start! Looking forward to see this finished, there's a lot of potential here. Keep it up!

Siren Cat in SpaceWhat you have looks like a pretty solid start. A little audio and a bit more dialog and it could be a solid little adventure/mystery.

Corrupted SignalI see that you didnt have much time here, I hope that you finish it!

Hair or BonesBig fan of the idea of a GB mystery adventure game, and the inclusion of things like the blackjack minigame make it feel true to the genre. Could really use some audio to help sell the atmosphere.

Castle of the CosmosThis is an intriguing premise, and you put in some fun little details (the drinks order, a fully implemented blackjack game, etc.). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the murder mystery really kicks off?...

Dagger's Last TestamentI tried to play this, but I got stuck at a dialog box constantly popping up saying "Excuse me, sir! I'm afraid this is first class."
I restarted, and was able to get into the second wagon, got to the murder part, fetched two items, and didn't really know how to progress beyond that.
Definitely could've used some sounds and maybe a chiptune, but I really liked the graphics :) For so little time spent on the game it's a really cool start!

[GB Jam 11 - Space] Forming TerraOff to a good start! I like the sprites a lot. Not sure who did it, but I definitely suspect the dealer of cheating me at blackjack.
