Crazy good!

Wow this is crazy. Both our team and yours made a comedy mystery game set in a dark house, with a "Mr. detective", that mentions jam as in jelly, in unity for the same jam. Honestly insane. Had a good time with the game.

Great minds think alike!

I was really excited about the idea of a "point and click adventure game where you didn't have control over where the character went", but I didn't feel like I got that. When the character did go out of my control, it wasn't used mechanically, only to tell a joke. Don't get me wrong, I liked the jokes it told, but I think there's untapped potential in your concept.

We could definitively have taken the out of control aspect further. Thanks for the feedback :)

Laughed my head off far more than what I should have. Could have taken the controls away from me a little more, but alas, was a fun experience.

Developer

Thanks man :)

I like the graphics style and the music, it gives a nice atmopshere. It's also short story which is nice. We have time to see the whole story in few minutes.

But I should said it ends quite abruptly. I was like "maybe my game crashed". Maybe a final picture would have been more "soft" to inform it was finished.

Also, even if the theme is respected, I'm sure you can go farther. You have a nice universe you placed and you can explore a bit more about it. Also, maybe put more "out-of-control" moments. They are nice but not really that much present in the game and they don't bring lots of thing. And the situation becoming out-of-control at the end is put a bit fast, so the player doesn't have time to really appreciate it.

Even with all these feedbacks, good job ! Well done !

Thanks for great feedback. We would love to explore the art style and universe more and definitely agree with you in your criticism.

Cool idea but could have a faster pace.

Wow that was actually pretty cool. Not much gameplay per se, but I did like how he would have a random thought and run back to do something. The humor was golden, nice work!

Developer

Thanks :)
