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)?

The idea seems nice, but i wasn't able to put the game in fullscreen, which made it have a part of the screen cut off.
Nice bomb defusal game! But I can't quite figure out the rules, so I just keep blowing up :D
Very cool game, not sure how the theme ties in but it's good regardless. My only complaint is that the music is a bit monotonous but I like it.
Really nice game! Love the pixel art!
The graphics are absolutely immaculate! It really doesn't look like it was made in one week, congratulations. And the gameplay itself is fun and intuitive
Nice deduction game with a super clean style. The art is polished, the rules are readable, and once the logic clicks it feels great. The only real friction is UI flow: on a laptop it’s tough that you can’t see all notes on one screen, so switching back and forth gets stressful and makes mistakes more likely. But the core idea is strong, the presentation is solid, and the puzzle twist fits the theme really well. Good work. (pls play my game)
I wish I was able to see all notes on one screen, but I still love the game!
Nice job!
Took a while to get the hang of it but once i did it was great
Very polished, good artstyle. Well done!
loved the artstyle and concept, too bad im bad at logic and following rules
Really nice cohesive art style! The game is fun, but I think I suck at it lol. Kept blowing myself up.
top 10 overall for sure! Took me a while to figure out that there were only 3 our of 4 rules to trust, but you can use logic to figure out which one not to trust and then solve the puzzle. Very solid game with layers of complexity, still not so hard that it would become frustrating.
I loved the game, it has a lot of potential
BOOM!
^ That was me playing this game...
I liked the art style and the idea was solid.
Would have loved to have a very simple bomb as a tutorial at the start and be able to see all the rules on the same page.
Otherwise, solid game. Well done.
