Nice game! Failed on normal - didnt get that clues are related to the same person :) But on easy won it! Sometimes just from 2 clicks within 5-10 secs I think - lucky guess. Loved it!
Some observations: When you caught the guy, the text on the screen is changed before the witch dialogue pops up - so you can see a new lever started, or a new clue dropped before the witch actually said smth to you. Likely the UI should be updated only after you finished the dialogue.
One more: I have selected the guy with a cone (first clue) - it was wrong. The 2nd clue says black socks. But the first guy had both the cone and black socks!
Thanks for playing our game and glad you enjoyed it. Some of the guess are dressed similarly but the one you're looking for will be unique. By the third clue you'll know all the info you need to find the party crasher.
Fun game, maybe easy mode could have infinite lives to help ease the player into the game mechanics otherwise the music was banging and the idea it fit the theme really well. nice work.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! Both appreciated!
fun game, performance is a little choppy but that can't really be helped too much in a browser, overall I really enjoyed playing, well done
Thanks for playing and your positive comments!
Easy mode is to hard :P
To many guests to search, when multiple people are wearing the s clue as well (red fingerless gloves,.. found one, but not right,. .and star glasses,.. ok,. found one, but not right,.. and ghost hat,.. never found one, time up)
I liked the concept and the set up, and the mechanics are fine. But I'm just not skilled enough to manage that many people to search through on easy mode.
But well done on the game! great going both of you!
Thanks for playing. We're going to look at rebalancing the levels after the jam and appreciate your feedback about it.
Love this submission! I managed to clear all 24 levels. I had some issues with performance and mouse input not registering but a reload of the game page seemed to fix it. The game itself was a lot of fun though. Great work!
Thanks for playing and congrats on making it through all the levels despite some lingering performance issues. Your positive comments are appreciated!
Fun game! I like the zoom effect and white outline on the guest you are currently looking at. Performance was good for me in my playthrough. One thing I noticed was that if I left the game view and returned, it would no longer register my mouse look input. That might just be a quirk with web builds on itch.io. Really enjoyed your game!
Thanks for playing and for letting us know how your experience was. The web build continues to teach us lessons every day. 😆
Glad you enjoyed it despite the quirks!
Nice fun game 😊👏
it was laggy a little bit.. mybe because I played the browser build!
Anyway it was fun! great job!
Thanks for playing and sorry you had issues still with lagging. Making a 3D game play smoothly for everyone in a web build has proven to be a challenge. We'll continue to learn and make improvements and appreciate your feedback.
No worries, mate! 👍 your hard work is clear and game looks amazing 😍
Thank you! Loved your game by the way!
Many thanks to the developers—they’ve significantly improved performance, and the game is now much more comfortable to play!
Fun idea: a witch's party on a grave, and you find the uninvited guests by their clothes. The music is cool, and some costumes made me laugh (the road cone hat!) 🎃
Honest feedback: for me it was too hard. The timer is very short for so many guests, and the game froze often in my browser. More time on the first levels and better performance would make it much more fun.
Good luck with the jam!
upd: Many thanks to the developers—they’ve significantly improved performance, and the game is now much more comfortable to play!
Thanks for playing and leaving your honest feedback. We're looking forward to improving our game after the jam and will keep your experience in mind!
Yes, thanks for playing! FWIW we've updated the game to address the lag issues, so it should run much more smoothly now.
Yes, it’s definitely become smoother.
Thanks a lot for the optimization and for paying attention to feedback—I think this will have a positive impact on the game’s rating.
Thanks so much for trying our game out again. Glad our changes made your experience more enjoyable!
I had to move towards the forest to reduce the lag. Idea is nice, searching is sometimes quite difficult. But I like it. Well done.
Thank for playing through despite our lagging issues.
Thank you for playing! We just updated the game to address the lag issue, in case you'd like to give it another shot. It seems to be working better now.
Yeah its very laggy but idea is great. Good job. 👍
Thanks for playing. Glad you liked our game idea. We're working to see if we can improve the lagging.

Really liked the idea, but I struggled with the lag
Thanks for playing and your positive comment. We're looking into the lag issues.

Pretty decent, however the performance on Web really lets it down, I either have to only use Zoom or resort to orbiting the edge and looking outward to see as few people as possible.
You'll def want to look into LODs so simplify the meshes of the characters at a distance, of course with this being a game of trying to spot the "uninvited" this might be a challange, the other option is to break up line of sight so not all the characters are visible at any one time, but are in distinct areas so you don't lose your place of where you've searched.
Also I found the use of "Wrong" and ✅ confusing, I initially thought I had found them (the check) and perhaps "wrong" was like something to do with them being uninvited...I only later realised on losing tha they were marked as "been guessed" so perhaps different iconography could work better.
Thanks for checking our game out and leaving such detailed suggestions on how to improve the lag. It was our first time creating a 3D game on our own and although we did implement some optimization things, clearly there is still room for improvement.

The performance is SOOOO much better, well done, I noticed you paused the animation of characters far away unless you zoom in on them; very clever solution.
I did notice one small thing which I just have to share, some of the graves have no space infront of them for a casket 😄 but as I say, small thing.
Fantastic work, well done on the fix.
Thanks for taking the time to play again and I'm glad your experience with our game went better.
In regards to the grave placement, we'll "flesh out" the placement in the future. ;)
very good concept, had lots of fun :)
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
Good rave loads of people having fun. Tricky to find the correct guess but very fun to play a little bit of where is waldo! Good job!
Thanks for the positive feedback, means a lot!
I know the music is good when everybody dances XD.
Love the concept, the gameplay needs improvements also its a bit laggy sometimes.
Great work.
Thanks for playing and glad you liked the music. If you have a moment could you let us know what browser and set up you were using so we can try to address lagging issues?
Sure!
Chrome.
I tried reloading it and playing it again, it seems when there are huge number of models in the viewport it lags when moving and sometimes when you stay still. I suggest to see the models and maybe reduce its vertices (I am not an expert but i think this is the issue), and I did not see any spikes on my gpu/cpu/RAM when the game lagges.
hope this help, and best of luck
Thanks so much for your detailed reply. We'll look in to it!

Excellent game. Graphics were superior. Game play was flawless. Design was excellent.
One thing, the clues can fit several of the guests sometimes, 'Wearing black socks' there were several guests wearing black socks.
Anyway, the game was great fun, thanks
Yes you might find some "red herring" guests out there. That's part of the challenge. Only one character will fit all three clues. Thanks for playing and we appreciate your feedback!
Fun Game loved the different characters and loved the concept. Literally I liked the game and its replayability my only issue would be the lag spikes id get looking at the crowd I was lagging way too much. But it was fun.
Thanks for playing our game, could I ask you what browser you were using? We've found issues with some setups and are working at improving performance.

Oh sorry I must’ve missed the first reply I was using normal chrome and ill have another go now that the lag is fixed because I was actually enjoying the game.
I love the music so much. It really sets the tone as soon as you open the game. Good job on the intro the tutorial fit into the intro really smoothly. I was a little confused at the guessing. When I guessed wrong I'd get a green checkmark which usually means correct, but a big word saying wrong! The messaging was a bit mixed
Thanks for playing and leaving your feedback. I agree the check mark is confusing. I had meant to put an invitation icon above their heads but, ran out of time before I could circle back.
