Interesting game, I enjoyed going around and collecting evidence and questioning the witnesses.
At some point the textbox disappeared and it was hard to read against some background, but it fortunately came back, it would have also been nice to indicate the end of the game (even with a message saying that it's all for now).
A super charming game! The love for Ace Attorney absolutely come through, and the art and characters throughout are incredibly cute! I'm also a huge fan of the comedy in the writing throughout. The case and clues are also nicely satisfying, which can be a tricky thing to balance, and mechanics to interact with them and the crime scenes are really well integrated - I'm impressed by the coding involved there. Especially for a solo dev project, this is an extremely impressive entry - well done!!
Love the vibrancy of the colours in the game. The investigation mechanics are designed really nicely guiding you through the process and giving hints without making it too hand-holdy. The sound design is cute, but I'd love to see some volume sliders in the settings. Unfortunately, I seemed to run into a bug after presenting the green go and the game stopped working entirely. Not sure if it was a problem on my end or not.
Thanks for playing my game! Could you tell me when you presented the green goo, so I can have a look at that bug?
Of course! It was during the trial after I presented the vent evidence successfully to show how Indy's 'friend' got into the room. Then I went to present the green goo to illustrate how they got in there, and... no progress.
I think I know what bug you're talking about. The game's not finished yet, so when it reaches that part with the goo, there's no more dialogue to pull from, so it just stops. The only thing that will fix it is for me to go in and add more content. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Take that! You've made a really nice and enjoyable tribute to ace attorney here, congrats!
Keep up the good work!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ace Attorney's one of my most favorite game series, so I'm happy to have made something like it
Phoenix Wright with monsters and animals is a fun idea, the art and sounds are cute and engaging. Cthulhu is a good pick for Judge.
Thank you for playing! Coming up with all the designs for the characters and making the art sure was challenging, so I'm glad that you liked that as well as the sound design
