Really liked the visuals on this one - reminded me of SNES retro graphics like Link to the Past. The game loop was fun too; it wasn't too difficult to deduce who were the suspects, but the difficulty did progress as the days went on. The story was cute too, and the sfx of the different characters was funny. If I had to critique, the HUD’s minimal aesthetic felt out of place against the retro visuals. Also maybe some higher res art for the profile pics would've been nice; for instance, the genie stood out with his high res art compared to the other characters. But other than that, great job on your first published game and first game jam! Hope to see more of your work in the future :)

Edit: the term for the mismatch pixel art is mixels (learned that from another comment!)

Thank you very much for the detailed and warm review. I'm glad you enjoyed the aesthetics, story and sounds. And you definitely hit the nail on the head on every constructive criticism you have: The HUD was supposed to be completely different and fit the rest of the theme but sadly we didn't manage to polish it in time so we had to stick with the prototype, and we really wanted to have a higher resolution art for the chat pictures but again a combination of the time constraints and just both of us not being very artistic haha. We will definitely use this jam as a learning experience for future jams and games in general.

Thank you very much for playing our game :D
