How does the game fit the theme?
You must deduce which gnome on gnome twitter is telling the truth, using the "gnomonic device" of "trust gnome 1"
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just the font, Blenda Script, and a handful of google images/ambiences

Great puzzle game! The Twitter Gnome feed is a really cool concept, especially the humor. I like how I thought I had it all figured out, and then after executing my solution realizing there's one more thing I missed. Art style and aesthetic is really polished as well - if someone told me this is a full release and not a game jam game made in 7 days I would have believed them!

STARHAULERloved this, i could finally live out my fantasy of scrolling twitter and actually getting something out of it. super well polished, I wasn't surprised that 6 people had worked on this because it felt like a finished game. I loved the music, and art, the puzzle design and the vibes. No notes this was great!

Shoddy CadreFun little puzzle game lol. I loved the cozy pixel art and chill music. For once it is actually important to scroll through twitter and isnt a complete waste of time lol.

Cyber-BluffReally fun little sokoban twist with a gnome and a fake twitter feed that kept making me laugh. I loved the clean visuals, the chill music, and how each puzzle felt like a tiny brain teaser with just enough charm to keep me going. Some levels hit pretty hard and I definitely had moments where I stared at logs for way too long, but the overall polish and the humour made it worth it. Good work from the dev. (pls play my game)

I am not an Alien?I really liked the visuals and the dwarf character; I wish I had a similar character myself. The puzzles are excellent, too, and the gameplay is incredibly fluid and carefully crafted. Great job!

Is this me?Really enjoyed the puzzles. Some of them really made me think and were challenging, good job on the design!
The artstyle is very neat! Music and sounds fit the game well too. The game is very polished. I'm also really thankful for the undo mechanic as it does save a lot of time.
Overall this is a very well done and a polished beautiful puzzle game. Good job!

Trust No ThiefThis is so far my favorite jam entry!!
Usually I am not that crazy about this Sokoban type puzzle game, but the fun objective based formula plus the puzzle solving turns it form a pretty basic game into a very cleaver and fun one!
I absolutely adore the choice of using twitter both as a way to communicate the clues but also to flesh out the world have reoccurring characters, the dialogue is both very accurate to what twitter and hilarious, I found myself constantly laughing at the way the messages are written and the references (totally not cuz I'm terminally online).
It is one of those joke mechanic ideas that I wish I had because this is exactly the way I would write/present it too, it's so peak. I also absolutely love the small details like there being separate themes for checking your phone. the amount of detail and charm on top of humor is through the roof
it is also impressive that you managed to create 30 puzzles and on top of that they are all so varied, they di so many fun clever things with the small amount of mechanics available. the pure puzzle solving aspect was the perfect difficulty for me.
I could only make it to level 27 but that's only cuz it was finally the one puzzle that I found too difficult to get the exact layout of the logs right. I never was lost on what to do, I think they are excellently communicated, I got confused a couple of times but that was because there was some kind of clever pun and it clicked when I read it again

Charge the Tower (Unfinished)Great visuals and polished gameplay. The theme might take a bit of backseat in this one but its still there and polish makes you forget about it quickly. Great job :).

Pawn Hub – The Art of the StealVery chill and puzzly. I kept wanting to write my own tweets!

Honest Abe Cannot Be TrustedThe last few levels broke my brain. I can't believe you made me open a spreadsheet to solve some of the levels haha
In the last area, I seriously thought for a couple minutes I had to put the second gnome somewhere, but I guess this was the end :0
That's pretty crazy to think this was made in just a week and that the game is completely free! Great work!
