How does the game fit the theme?
In Read Between the Wires, you can't even trust the rules provided to solve the puzzles. Each puzzle requires not only deciphering the clues, but also determining which of them is the liar.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just the font--everything else was me

Really nice cohesive art style! The game is fun, but I think I suck at it lol. Kept blowing myself up.

top 10 overall for sure! Took me a while to figure out that there were only 3 our of 4 rules to trust, but you can use logic to figure out which one not to trust and then solve the puzzle. Very solid game with layers of complexity, still not so hard that it would become frustrating.

I loved the game, it has a lot of potential

Submitted

BOOM!
^ That was me playing this game...

I liked the art style and the idea was solid.
Would have loved to have a very simple bomb as a tutorial at the start and be able to see all the rules on the same page.

Otherwise, solid game. Well done.

Game style is really nice, the concept is cool and its a great use of the theme!

I am astonished that a game of this caliber was made by one person. Kudos to you because I found myself playing a couple of times and failing a lot LOL. Well done!

Nice deduction game with a great twist!

A special shoutout for the font size: I have seen so many jam games where pixel fonts were scaled down way too small, but here it is perfectly readable. The artwork and sound design are really well done too.

The only thing: having to constantly switch back and forth between the clues (even if that is totally intentional) definitely stressed me out a bit! :D

Really fun and well-crafted entry!
