Really cool idea to include an endless mode! The fall guy definitely made me twist my brain more

Really great structure for a deduction game, albeit many of the levels were very straightforward to solve. I love the theming and style of the game. Its very clear the main concept and you executed it very well.

Beyond World's End

Amazing game! It feels similar (even better) to Demon Bluff. Note that your game is fully playable on mobile, so you might want to add it to your game metadata to avoid getting "This game is not playable on your device" on mobile.

I love this game!!! Logic games are one of my favorite types of games, and this game was really fun! Plus, you made it a really polished experience with the graphics and audio.

I think the "rat is not the rat" wordplay is clever XD The game seems very polished and I really enjoyed it, well done!

Hey did I run into a bug? #2 says there is a rat in his column, but the fall guy is not the rat and neither is he...
I took a screenshot of what I mean: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n2Gn9ovkjzF6kGCWJstL7XknOsuINSyO/view?usp=shari...
I still had a lot of fun playing!!

Wolves in the Wool

Hey thanks for the review and playing.

It is not a bug. The Fall Guy is always not the rat, but the crew (who are clean) think he is the rat.

I have had this feedback before, so I could definitely do a better job of making it clearer!

OHHHH NO IM AN IDIOT LOL
Now that I know it's not a bug, I realize you spelled it out so clearly I'm so sorry 😭

This was awesome I really liked the inclusion of the fall guy, I played this for a bit Nice job!!

Really liked this game! might come back to it later in fact. You should make the streak more impactful cuz there should be like a "real" consequence to shooting the wrong guy, and losing your streak as of now just doesn't have that impact. You might even miss the streak feature in fact. I also didn't really like how the gun was upside down, though that might be intentional. Great game though!

What did you mean by the gun being upside down?

Nice art and groovy music.

I had some issues with gameplay.

The paper before some levels would come up all the way or at all.

The colored button were very helpful, good idea

Great Deduction game overall!

Blind man's bluff

SinpleaSubmitted2 days ago

I am a big fan of the art music and vibe :) I had some odd issues not being able to see the text. Sometimes I would not get the text after a level. But I could still progress things with spacebar.. so it was not locked! I really enjoyed this!

I have had some other feedback on this... but I have not figured it out 😅

Do you use a 4k or non-standard size monitor?

SinpleaSubmitted2 days ago

naupe

GwagDevDeveloper2 days ago(+1)

hmmm ok I think I have fixed it now. tldr for anyone using Godot 4.7+ who finds this in the future, use `offset_transform`!

Really appreciate the review and taking the time to send over your monitor specs!

I really liked the visuals and also the little story we're following along. There's also a lot of work done on the UI and the whole thing feels really satisfying!

Curse of the Number Dungeon

JIJIIIIIISubmitted3 days ago

i love this game! it was really fun! I honestly don't mind it being short. as they always say "Great things come in small packages"

Submitted

GwagDevDeveloper3 days ago

Thanks! I wanted the campaign to serve as a tutorial and keep it short so more people would complete it during the jam.

That's why I added an Endless mode that keeps generating new puzzles 😄

DevlukeSubmitted3 days ago

This game was really fun and perfect to play. I did had troubles with the endings but that's just difficulty curve doing its thing!

So well done!! 5 stars!!
