It's a great example of how to combine simple mechanics. I was completely hooked on the game. I'd be happy if you'd check out our game, too.

I love the atmosphere of this game, visuals and audio. At first, I was too focus on the case and talking so I ended up having negative money in the first 30s lol, but those cases were interesting. Great game!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm especially glad you enjoyed the cases!

This was truly a nice experience. Most of the categories under avaliation could be described by "Simple but amazing".

My only critique is that the cases were pretty easy. That's probably intentional to compensate the fact you're solving them while dodging trash cans. But there were no noticeable punishment for hitting them, so it kinda cancels out.

Despite that, amazing game, I'll give it a solid 9/10

Developer

Thank you! 

Actually, I also had a feature that would let you start over from the beginning if you ran out of money, but out of fear of introducing new bugs at the last minute—or simply because it might be unfair—I decided against it.

Infinite runner + detective game is a really cool and original combo ! 

I had fun, well done !

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

I like the sound effects, aesthetic and music choice. The concept is pretty cool, I like that you can drive the car and also honk the horn haha. the 3 exit game ui panels was unique. I think you should have tried to replace the menu screens default looking unity assets. This could be expanded for sure with something like more stops a long the way and fleshing out the dialogue and investigating.

Developer

Thanks, I'm really glad to hear that! I also had a few ideas on how to expand it, but in the end, I just ran out of time.
