This game had cute vibes all around and I really loved the art style and character dialogue. I do have to agree with the previous comments that the controls were confusing and for me, a bit overwhelming with how many things I had to click. Though the books were cute and filled with information, I just felt overloaded with it TT
This was really fun! I enjoyed putting my brain cells together and thinking about who is the murderer :)) It was find just randomly clicking just to see the paws move haha. I do wish that there was an ending to whether we got the killer right/wrong or just for the drama. For a while I was confused on the [inventory_next] etc. keys until I realized key/mouse bindings were suppose to be there hahah
Overall, I had fun with the game! I think you guys did good and think you can flesh this into a bigger game :3
The visuals of the game are absolutely adorable! The characters and their dialogues were also quite charming <3
I do think the game was a bit too big for what it actually used. A smaller space could have led to more utilization of the objects around the house for the investigation. I wish there was more thinking and putting the pieces together for the player since I was intrigued by the cake murder!
A couple of additional comments:
- I found a bug pre-investigation that lets Dad's dialogue option to activate when I'm no where around him in and it even came up when I was talking to Mom.
- When I change direction really quickly, the music glitches a bit
- Holy slippery player
- UI/Text Boxes cover up the artwork
- Space doesn't work for interaction TT
- Text can be a bit hard to read
I really like this game and I hope you guys can polish it further!
This was really fun! It activated the statistics lessons that have been drilled to me since high school. I wish there was some kind of sound effect to the game and I am not sure if the slight background shake adds to the experience except make me dizzy when I focus on it for too long. Like the other comments said, a skip timer would do wonders to the experience.
I had fun! Thanks for making this :))
This was such a fun game! I found the graphics to be charming and the game play to be simple but effective in stressing me tf out with the instructions. I can see myself getting addicted if there was an endless mode for this.
Gameplay - I must say that the bottles would sometimes not register my clicks so I would end up missing a bottle and it would mess up my run ;( The light level confused me at first because I thought it was beeping whenever I made a mistake. Maybe a more daunting factory overlord vibe light might have fit it better? Though that could have been intentional on your part haha
Visual - Like I said, I really love the style because it gives me nostalgia. I think the font for the bottle dates can improve since 1 and 7 can look really similar when speeding by really fast.
Them - Theme incorporation was creative! Though I wish that was present in all the levels and not just the first two(?) since I ended up forgetting about the 1s.
Overall, I really liked this game :DD I hope you had fun creating it because I had fun playing it.
