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

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!

Fun take on the bomb defusal games!

Very polished! The mechanics are a bit confusing at first, but the game turns out to be quite addictive!

Submitted

very fun concept i like that you can take notes and order the numbers, although a lot of the time it did come down to 50/50s lol

The game looks and feels really polished, even tho we never managed to defuse a bomb because it is really hard if there is 2 notes that say wire 2 has to be cut before 3 and wire 3 has to be cut before 2 :D...
Fun concept!
