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.

Beyond World's End

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!!

Wolves in the Wool

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!

ConnorADeverSubmitted27 days ago (1 edit)

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 😭

AwayCrash44Submitted27 days ago

This was awesome I really liked the inclusion of the fall guy, I played this for a bit Nice job!!

Submitted

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!

Wrong Way 'Round

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!

Modernism Calling

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!

Blind man's bluff

SinpleaSubmitted28 days ago

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?

SinpleaSubmitted28 days ago

naupe

GwagDevDeveloper28 days ago(+1)

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!
