Pretty fun!!
I liked the music a lot, really brings that "mystery" feeling into the game. I had fun, nice game =]

NICE Game! very new idea!

chas 2012-12-18 01:00

Bravo! Great job in implementation and in concept

cryovat 2012-12-18 01:01

I had a lot of fun with this one. Played several rounds. Would like to see the concept explored further. :-)

saguaro 2012-12-18 01:17

Very cool. I enjoyed this one.

lmattos 2012-12-18 02:14

Awesome

Great non-obvious use of theme. Superb mood. I found the game was extremely difficult, spotting the clues and finding a matching suspect all but impossible, but it's terrific. Good humor, too.

intoxicatious 2012-12-18 04:41

Pretty fun. Murders didn't happen soon enough. I sat for a long while, but still fun.

dremelofdeath 2012-12-18 04:56

I love the creative use of the theme. The music really makes it, and the things that people say makes the game that much more interesting. Great work!

therestlesstaxidermists 2012-12-18 10:23

Fun game! The music is perfectly suited for the game and the idea is quite original. Played several times but always found the villain a bit too easily after a few seconds. But overall a very creative game!

Fun game! Got the sucker right after his first kill :) Loved the mood of it

Nice gameplay, it's fun to watch the crowd and search for the killer. Nice take on the theme, the title screen is kinda misleading given the in-game graphics though. Good job :)

tau7153 2012-12-18 18:08

Really nice, I think I'll bookmark it for later!

illugion 2012-12-18 20:37

That was really fun, i played it many times just to see if i could get him before he kills anyone but i think there are no clues to do that XD

conflictivelabs 2012-12-18 20:53

Well, the killer has a tendency to follow his victims until he can commit the crime. If you happen to spot the dude while he is purposefully stalking his victim you can theoretically catch him before he takes down his target.

CireNeikual 2012-12-18 20:59

Nice concept and music! Makes it tense!

monobo 2012-12-18 21:34

Really nice take on the theme! The suspect pilled 4 poor victims before I got him ;) , was fun to get him, gameplay felt really polished!

scriptorum 2012-12-18 22:08

Nice take. I think the scoring should better reflect the number of victims. I took down a guy pretty quick before he killed anyone because he was right on the heels of another. But my best score was a guy who -- even quicker -- killed immediately and I tagged him running away.

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-19 04:06

Very very fun!!! Lovely gameplay, lovely graphics, lovely mood. Top marks!!

azurenimbus 2012-12-20 00:56

Wow, so good. Unbelievably fun, and the whole mood of the game just literally sent shivers up my spine. Great job, guys.

A suggestion to make it even better would be to have a way to figure out who the killer is before any crime is committed. Some kind of suspicious activity. Unless that's there already and I missed it.

azurenimbus 2012-12-20 00:58

Also, very cool take on the theme, I thought it was pretty original, interpreting the theme as the accusation.

mase 2012-12-21 01:19

Loved the voice balloons.

I tried clicking on newspapers, expecting them to offer some clue.

wuhao 2012-12-21 01:48

LOVE the music, solid score for mood.
If there are room for improvement, i suggest that you could add other kind of clues than just verbal clues from witnesses

rylgh 2012-12-21 04:42

very nice! the way people give you clues about the criminal is neat, and the interpretation of the theme is so clever...

eraldo 2012-12-21 05:33

Very nice game.
Random guessing helps save all victims. :)
The music does a great deal in this game.

pierrec 2012-12-21 08:35

Nice take on the Theme. It's like a real-time peking mysteries (I loved this game so much as a child). I didn't use much the following feature, with the smart glass. Hints given are enough to find the criminal. I played twice, and twice I solved the mystery in one minute with three clues. I didn't find it difficult.

edocentrique 2012-12-21 17:05

It's really fun !

gornova 2012-12-23 15:33

Best Jam game IMHO. It's an awesome idea! :D well done!!

brant 2012-12-25 21:57

I don't have words to tell what you accomplished here. Good work!

mistakoo 2012-12-25 21:58

It's interesting to find two entries with this unique take on the theme. Although each played differently.
Love the title screen art. Also superb use of sound and music.

pitoum 2012-12-25 22:08

Coolcoolcool!
Like the concept, and great realisation!

themelon 2012-12-26 09:09

Love this game. Great idea and well implemented for the time period. There is potential in scope, but the simple mechanics you have work well.

Jeremias 2012-12-26 13:44

Short but well made and very polished. Was fun to play! You should consider something to prevent the following behavior: Starting a game, waiting for the first murder and then click on some guy near the murder on which the description fits. There is no need to go deeper. If he's it not, it's easier to restart the game ^^.

zkenshin 2012-12-26 20:54

Quite enjoyable. :)

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-28 00:35

This is a great idea :D

chambers 2012-12-29 06:53

Lots of fun!
Very polished game.
I had to download the Windows version so I can play this again later :)

saulotti 2013-01-07 13:15

Looks like my submitted game =)
Find the culprit and say "You're the villain!" kind of game.
