My first big ranked gamejam, and it shows me how much I still have to learn lol. I feel I learned a lot about how time crunch hits you like a truck and leaves you with a game far from your original vision. Not too proud of my ranking, but determined to improve it in the next iterations of Brackey's gamejam!

Good game, liked the art style and music a lot. (I liked the music A LOT)
The game was a bit confusing at first, but really fun once I got the hang of it! I don't think i have much criticism to give for thsi, since it was pretty well scoped - tho as another commenter has said, a few hints would be great!

Recommend switching off smell in our device while playing this game
Ty. The music was something I left for the last minute and my sleep deprived brain gave the green light for this horrendous audio without much thought. I do intend on adding a bunch of bug fixes, audio fixes and some items you can start with to ease you into the game as soon as the jam ends.
Thanks a lot for playing, and im really glad you enjoyed it :D
Cute game! It took me a while to understand what I was supposed to do, but it was really fun once i got the hang of it.
Great work, loved the art style and simple gameplay though the timer was really stressful lol.
Also note:
There were some small layering issues in the bottom of the map which you might want to check out once.
I guess I echo everyone when I say, what a fantastic art style. The sfx is pretty good, but I didnt hear any background music.
I'd like it if you could skip dialogue, and a back option when you press barter or ask a question, but i guess those are polish details you will add after the jam. Had a fun time playing your game Pawn Scum (which is not a chess game where your pawns betray you, like I thought it would be from the name lol)
Really nice idea, and fun to play. I'd recommend having a smaller amount of people as the rounds were slightly too long for my taste, but loved the passenger models and the IDs with just their heights were hilarious.
I could definitely see that you had a lot more planned for this game, but i genuinely believe you executed it pretty well, especially for a solo dev!
Thanks a lot. Initially, winning the rounds can be impossible (I intended on having items available from round 1, and having players budget money to keep items to solve cases, but time crunch is real.
Marking as true and false does have a temporary effect, which again, in a hurry, i didnt make permanent.
Really appreciate your feedback though, and I'm super grateful you took your time to play this :D
