Wow! Simply nothing negative to say nor feedback to add. Great work!
Very great game
Just played your game, It was really fun, especially art style is perfect If you have some free time, feel free to try my game as well. I'd really appreciate any feedback!
Really really enjoyed this! Everything felt so well-thought. The ending made me gasp, and that's enough for me to make me enjoy this. Good job! ^^
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.
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!!
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!
Thanks for the feedback.
What did you mean by the gun being upside down?
I love the game design, it feels like an elegant board game and a polished video game!
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!
Thanks for the feedback. I have had a few people with that issue, I think I have fixed it now 😄
Sound and Music are amazing!
Very fun game! Love the art too! Everyting is well paired imo. GG!
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?
naupe
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!
great gameplay,music,theme and over game loop ,this game is outstanding! :D
Loved the art, theme and style, the story is pretty nice and "cozy(?)" dare i say, cool game!
Love the art, suckered me in with lil animals, and a fun game!
