Thanks for playing! Let me know if you manage to unlock all the achievements. I don’t think anyone has yet but there’s an easter egg in there as a reward ;)

Thanks for the game. Had fun time catching the bad guys (at least in the digital space).

This was an awesome and complete feeling game- especially for the time slot. Loved the extra details like fading all the faces besides the right one when you fail. It was really fun and encouraged second tries! Great game!

I copied my score, but screenshot overwrote it, 505, in case all 3 above me mess up :D

A British version would be rich pickings here.

I’m Canadian and not too familiar with British politics. Who did you have in mind?

Are we naming names? I wasn't sure who one of your guys was, with light grey hair. There has been wall-art on reddit of red coats and other British politicians. Politicians tend to get overlooked by other countries, especially when retired. I don't watch TV so I couldn't even name 4 equivalent Brits, but you know, they say we prosecuted more than those famously litigious Americans did.

Reply
MattressDDeveloper189 days ago

Yeah, probably better to leave names out of it… Thanks for the feedback though! It would be fun to create different sets of faces to play

Reminded me of those old day DOS games. Good old 'Find Waldo' game style. I wish theme and object was more needed for gameplay, but still a fun ride

This is one of my favorites; cool art style, music, and the gameplay fits the theme so well.

For whatever reason I very much liked the  "find luigi" game on twitter where you had to find luigi in the same way as faces in your game, so it was very fun to play for me. Reached a bit over 250 points on my first try. Also big + for not such an obvious idea for the jam.

That’s exactly what inspired this game! The Yoshi mini-game called “WANTED!” from Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. Zack and I both loved playing it when we were younger so we decided to create our own version.

A bit monotone but very polished; really dig the style!

Awesome! Thanks for playing. Our friends who play tested hated the flashlight mode, so I’m glad someone appreciates it!

Really fun take on the Where's Waldo gameplay type. I love the humor and the evolution of gameplay. I'd love to see more of this game to have even more different type of level. It's super addictive and super efficient. Congrats!

Thank you! We were considering adding more, but decided to spend time trying to polish what we had instead. I think a bounce movement pattern would be fun, where the faces bounce off the edge of the screen instead of wrapping to the other side.

Reply

Great take, I don't think I've played a Where's Waldo-like before 😂and I liked the ways the levels got tougher. I found the yellow haired guy *much* easier than the rest fwiw (like, sub-2-3 seconds every time), maybe more hair colors would help.

Maybe more hair colours unlock if you make enough progress ;)
