Hi, thanks so much for playing! Regarding that little bug — thanks for the feedback, but actually the Paladin can vote for the Vengeful (the Paladin just can't vote for the Rat or another Paladin, and votes for a soldier who voted for an innocent one). Hope that clears things up! In the future, if you run into any bugs, feel free to post a screenshot of the board setup so we can help you troubleshoot.

Super smooth visual, little bit fast to reach the end. Doesen't fit the theme, but you alredy know that. Keep up the smooth work! :)

Such a cool visual! The theme is so addictive 🎶🎶 I reached the debt goal in just 3 days. I would’ve loved to see a twist, like a robbery or something similar. Having all that money without any risk felt a bit too easy. The game also gets a little repetitive after a while.
But keep up your work! :)) 

Great use of the theme. I have to say the artwork you drew is super original. If I had to give any advice, I'd add a semi-transparent box under the text for our dear alien customers, to make their responses easier to read.

Thankyou so much for trying it :)

Hi everyone!

We're looking to play through more entries before the jam ends and would love some recommendations — puzzle games, narrative bits, weird art styles, anything really.

Drop a link below and we'll play it and leave a rating.

If you're also on the lookout for games to try, we'd really appreciate it if you gave ours a shot too: Slap the Soldier, a newspaper-styled deduction game built around the "Trust No One" theme. You're handed a lineup of soldiers who are each lying or telling the truth depending on a hidden role, and you need to cross-reference their statements to figure out who's actually guilty. It now has a browser build too, so no download needed.

Slap the Soldier

Thanks in advance, and good luck finishing up your entries!

I really enjoyed the game — great graphics and a nice idea. I'd tweak the puzzle-solving a bit by using a separate button for accusing, so you can go back and reread the statements first.

Also, there's no indication of whether you guessed correctly or not. after an accusation it just moves straight to the next level.
Overall, congrats, well done!

Nice idea i ould be funny some sort of hints given by numbers so u can trust them or not on the next move to do GJ :)

Thank you so much, really glad you liked the visual style! Yes, it's meant to be a real challenge. we are still working on balancing the difficulty across levels, so hearing it was tough for you is great feedback :)

Good morning, thank you first of all for trying the game! I understand the confusion — to select a soldier you can click either on the red tag showing the identifying letter, or on the head :)

Nice idea, I had fun too, although I'd have a few suggestions to improve the experience: the hunger bar drops too fast, maybe, and also I'd add a sound when the vegetable takes damage to give some audio feedback, since the health bar is out of the POV. Other than that, great job :) <3

Thank you so much for your kind words <33 I'm really glad you're enjoying the game and that the artwork stood out to you it means a lot, since a lot of care went into it. I also really appreciate you flagging the difficulty and the lack of a tutorial  we're actually working on adding one right now (one day), so newer players will have an easier time getting into it. Thanks again for playing and for the feedback =)

What an incredible game. I have to say, this usually isn’t my kind of genre, but I felt so immersed in the story. I experienced this huge sense of emptiness and nostalgia for something I’ve never even seen before. Thank you. :')

Hey, first of all, thanks for playing! No, the idea actually didn’t come from there, but rather from combining role-based mechanics like Lupus in Tabula with deduction/elimination rules similar to Sudoku :)

Hi, thanks for trying the game! We know the tutorial is much requested, we hope to add it with future updates :)

Hi, nice idea! I'd suggest though making the map borders more defined, and adding some temporary power-ups, like the Arkanoid power-ups that give you a timed or momentary boost, because the second level was really hard.

Hello if you like puzzle try my game :)

Good morning, first of all thank you for playing! Second, we're aware of the tutorial issue — unfortunately we didn't fully polish that part due to the limited time we had available. We'll definitely fix it in the future :)

Hi if you want to try my game is a puzzle where you must find who has slapped you.

Hi everyone!

I took part in the jam with Slap the Soldier, a Procedural deduction/puzzle game where a group of soldiers accuse each other and you have to figure out who's telling the truth.

Each soldier has a role that defines how they behave when accusing others — some always tell the truth, some always lie, some vote out of self-interest, and there are a few other, quirkier roles thrown in too. The challenge is cross-referencing everyone's accusations to work out the real culprit.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the puzzle logic and how satisfying the deduction feels. Any feedback is welcome!

Thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a try!

Really nothing I can add, amazing from the music to the graphics all the way to the super fun gameplay loop. If I may offer a small suggestion: the text should stay fixed (left-aligned) while the rest is being generated, instead of moving until it reaches the edge of the textbox — otherwise it becomes illegible until it stops. Other than that, truly great job, I can't wait for you to release it on Steam <3

Good morning, and thank you so much for playing!

You're absolutely right about the tutorial — adding a few levels that gradually introduce the roles would definitely help ease players in. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time during the challenge to include one, but it's something we'd love to add going forward.

As for the accuse button: that comes down to a small communication gap on our end, sorry about that! The soldiers themselves are clickable — you can select one by clicking their head or their letter. Once a soldier is selected, you can accuse them as the culprit. The role tokens are only there to help you make and test your own hypotheses; they don't need to be assigned correctly (or at all) to proceed.

Thanks again for the feedback really appreciate it! :)
