Really enjoyed going through those cases, great game!
Fun, very chaotic game. The art and music is nice, I like the jokes on the documents. The sorting trough the documents is an original idea, I think it could be really fun if its a bit more balanced. After a while there really was no way for me to get to the bottom of the stack anymore. The second round, adding wires, didn't seem to really add much to the game for me. Just reading the evidence I had collected was enough. I would suggest being able to move this evidence, as some of it was unreadable because the suspects were blocking it.
This game is a fun Idea and looks great, I immediatly got stressed and overwhelmed however. Had to close it.
I love the concept, like a detective game boiled down to the essential elements. The high speed that clues come in at feels off. I think the same level of difficulty could be achieved with bigger variety of clues but more time to read them. But for what you've done within the time you were given this is awesome!
Great art and music. Really fun to play. 5/5
Amazingly well polished for just a 48 hour jam! I loved the concept, and it works great for a short little game. I would like to see the cases get a bit more difficult, and the UI covers up the text sometimes. Loved it!
Great concept! The time limit and sheer amount of info coming at you made it a real challenge! In the end, one or two of the clues gave me enough information to guess the correct answer for each case, so I never needed the "connecting" mechanic. An interesting take on mystery mechanics!
Great art style! Love the meta content too haha
Super creative and fun! The presentation was also very intuitive and unique! Great job!
Art style is great! Played smooth. Papers were coming in bit quick. Overall great work!
A lot more fun than I initally would've thought! The joke papers were a lot of fun ^^ Good job!
This is such a unique and extremely well executed idea. I really wish the yarn connecting was implemented as an actual game mechanic of some sort, but perhaps that's asking for too much. Awesome job!
Fun Game, Great Aesthetic. Amazing Work. Need more cases.
BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.
It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.
