How does the game fit the theme?
Uses the bluffing game of poker and the 'truth & liar door' trope to break the player's trust, and logically deduce what's true and what's not.

Really interesting concept, would definitely love to see more but I fully understand the time crunch while learning a new engine! I definitely think more poker games should have table talking and other ways to play around the NPCs, and this is a really neat spin on it :)

Submitted

Nice concept, keep going the good work

Neat! I'm a fan of the concept. With some character designs, a defined game loop (without page refresh), and some more tlc I'd be down to play more! Also fits the theme nicely.

Cheers!

A nice little poker game. I wish there was a way to start again without page refresh.

The poker rules took me a couple tries to fully get, but massive respect for challenging yourself to learn a new engine during a game jam!

Yay i won!

This was a lot of fun, and a very good take on the theme. Its like im a detective playing poker.

 I did a handful poker games in my day job. So, this peaked my interest. Th game felt like too guided. maybe you can expand upon it. also definately add some more juice. a little shake here and there a tween or two! over all amazing work. Cool assets as well

Submitted

It's a cool idea, and I'd love to see a more fleshed out version of it. I wish I could go back and see what was said previously.

Submitted

I really like the idea and how simple but effective it looks. Missing audio, replay value and it’s not really possible to guess who is who cause they change overall solid game

I enjoyed the game - it's a great first project. As mentioned, a log to keep track of who said what would be really helpful. Hope you'll continue with the riddles! We would appreciate it if you could take rate our game as well🫡

Really liked the idea of the game, but I think it needs sort of a "log" to keep track of what everyone said in previous rounds. Keep working on it!

Good Game, more levels would be cool and audio was sadly also missing,  great visuals and idea tho.
