That was awesome. Finalist material in my opinion!

victorgrunn 2013-08-26 02:42

Excellent job, one of the most creative and theme-focused I've seen so far.

douglasv 2013-08-26 02:44

Awesome game dude

ravetcofx 2013-08-26 02:55

I love murdur mysteries! Love this game man, best I have found thus far!

yaguar 2013-08-26 04:51

Some seriously awesome pants.

rabbits 2013-08-26 04:53

That was amazing, I think his pants were somewhat awesome though..

zillix 2013-08-26 04:54

wonderful. what a great experience and presentation. well done!

tacospice 2013-08-26 04:54

Awesome game!

lancey 2013-08-26 04:55

Really great submission!

otresnjak 2013-08-26 05:34

Everything about this is wonderful.

radjor 2013-08-26 05:41

haha... vintage dagger- I immediately said "where's the hipster?"

Funny game. Very easy of course, but looks good, sounds good, tastes good.

caranha 2013-08-26 08:39

That was a very well polished game, and you are a great sprite artist :-)

The game was funny, although I couldn't quite make the reasoning for some of the puzzle solutions.

Here is my playthrough on this game, as you requested! (sorry for the sound quality!) http://youtu.be/qbbJssZ8WMY

customphase 2013-08-26 08:53

haha, awesome

That's exactly what I thought too!

This game really is excellent.

small-trouble 2013-08-26 13:13

Awesome game, Captain Awesomepants would be proud.

crowbeak 2013-08-26 13:28

This was really pleasant. I love the graphics.

tobiasw 2013-08-26 13:34

Oh my, were to begin! The amazing pixel art? The stylish choice of font in the funny titles? The dialogue? The humourous sitatutations? The riddle solving, sometimes just really funny and sometimes you have to think a little? I really don't know - I love everything.

All the riddles made perfect sense for me - except the beach. What's the reasoning there?

The only thing I'm not too sure about is the music. I'd suggest you give http://abundant-music.com a try - in my opionion, it's vastly superior to autotracker.

You did a really good job there, and I'm rooting for you to be in a top 3 list! Justice always wins!

hypnohustla 2013-08-26 16:31

Awesome game! Really great use of the 10 seconds theme. Always love a good murder mystery! :)

ludipe 2013-08-26 17:45

@TobiasW :"All the riddles made perfect sense for me - except the beach. What's the reasoning there?" There's a shoe next to the corpse and the murderer is missing one.

Awesome game. I played it a few times to make sure I understood every case. You did an amazing job! (Overall 5/5)

tobiasw 2013-08-26 17:59

@Ludipe: Oh! I just played it again, and it says "a bloody boot". I, erm, thought it said "a bloody boat". Like a toy boat or something. Please excuse me, I'll be busy sitting in the corner feeling stupid.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-26 20:36

Awesome in pretty much every respect. Clever little puzzles although I did just click them all for the dojo guys :S but come up with more of these scenes and I'm pretty sure you've got a hit on your hands

amidos2006 2013-08-26 22:00

That's really funny and amazing I love it reminds me of old days riddles in mickey magazine :)

andrewshouldice 2013-08-26 22:58

Fantastic. This is a really great game idea. I only wish there was more!

wally2069 2013-08-27 02:13

Nicely polished quick style detective game

bneutral 2013-08-27 09:03

Just lovely.

erhune 2013-08-27 09:39

Just 2 words : AWESOME and PANTS!

bombjack 2013-08-27 09:56

Very fun, great job!

sos 2013-08-27 11:23

Haha! Amazing! I'm the best detective!

boaheck_artgent 2013-08-27 12:56

This game was brilliant. It could have been longer, but who am I to talk. I only made 8 levels in my entry. I found my self laughing out loud. 5/5 overall.

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 18:24

Really fun and original :D

psychomonster 2013-08-27 20:12

Best game I've played so far...

blennosoftgames 2013-08-28 00:49

Wow! I liked how the mysteries were generally complex enough to take some serious thought, yet straight-forward enough that you had a fair shot at getting them on your first try.

I didn't figure out the reasoning in the sumo wrestler one though, just randomly picked the right guy. The rest were all very satisfying to solve though.

nezzhil 2013-08-28 08:23

Very funny. With five suspects it'll be perfect. :)

oxydam 2013-08-28 11:42

One of my favorite entries so far. Very original use of the theme and great realisation.
I want more case.

aquilicoco 2013-08-28 14:30

Awesome ;)

pereubu 2013-08-28 16:30

hehehe, very mcpixely :3

chambers 2013-08-29 00:58

Great idea, I had a great time playing it, this is the best game I've seen so far. Please make more levels, this game deserves to have TONS of them :D

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-29 11:13

Ha, this is great! love the pixel-style and the hover-texts. The story is great too.

And the title just makes it brilliant :D

canvapps 2013-08-30 12:48

graphical adventure! I was missing some of them!
Great work!

antidote 2013-08-30 18:08

I enjoyed playing this so much. Nice humor and interesting gameplay. I think it has potential to develop further, looking forward to play it post-jam :)

zkenshin 2013-08-31 01:57

Would make a fun mobile game. Well done. :)

23 2013-08-31 03:54

That was fun! Very polished.

I played this in a pub in Tokyo with some friends, and one thing that was immediately obvious to me but not to some older people / long time expats was the guy behind the forest murder. While I had an easy time tying "going to Starbucks, impatient" to "vintage dagger" and then laughing about the Instagram reference, that sort of stereotype just wasn't on the radar at all for some people.

paulmcgg 2013-08-31 13:11

Really funny, good job. Great art too.

otus 2013-08-31 20:25

Awesome game!
Very funny and polished!

I specially liked the second case, haha
Nice job!

georgebroussard 2013-09-01 03:17

This was funny, and fun to play. I got them all right on the first pass. I must be wearing awesomepants!

colapsydo 2013-09-01 07:40

Well realized. I like how easy but not obvious the cases are.
The case of forest fiend is hilarious.

zerkruemler 2013-09-01 09:54

Very funny adventure

tijmentio 2013-09-01 11:55

Haha this was awesome and it just worked perfectly! 10 seconds are just enough to solve the mystery!

martin_monosys 2013-09-01 13:55

Great game, really a lot of fun.
But somebody please tell me about those sumo wrestlers, I didn't get that one... :(

snemanden 2013-09-01 15:37

Really great and fun! Quite humurous and really liked the artwork. Only thing I found a tad odd, was that a few elements didn't fit the art style ("Pick the Culpit" font, an arrow, etc.). However, a fantastic entry.

volute 2013-09-01 22:17

Great idea, great game !

dreamteam 2013-09-01 22:26

Refreshing take on the theme... great job! Nice pixel art and the song worked well with the game. Some of the puzzles were a bit easy but for 10 seconds, what else could I expect? Some of the scenarios were pretty funny, too.

megashroom 2013-09-02 01:17

Perfectly executed.
The graphics were amazing, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the dialogue was hilarious.
One qualm, the culprit of the first murder didn't align to any clues, but the rest did.

zccc 2013-09-02 15:50

Amazing, very well done :D

withoutpillow 2013-09-02 17:19

everything is awesome. except maybe that i can't figure out what the logic behind the sumo wrestler case was.

garethiw 2013-09-02 17:59

Those are some awesome pants!

ashdnazg 2013-09-06 13:51

Conan Doyle is rolling in his grave...

Anyway, I enjoyed this game, and the cases were good.
However, I kinda can't stand auto-tracker anymore.

seconddimension 2013-09-06 19:59

so so good, great work. Every scenario was funny, required a bit of quick thought and looked lovely

moomoo112 2013-09-06 20:29

Great game, I love the graphics too.

ltyrosine 2013-09-07 15:10

"Sure! Blame the foreign" hHAHAHAHA amazing game

ratking 2013-09-08 10:45

I love the settings and the characters. Hilarious!

kddekadenz 2013-09-08 17:20

Autotracker music :D
Pixelart was ok, the puzzles were mostly fair.

cosr 2013-09-09 00:27

Good game, good pixels, good sense of humour throughout. Decent polish and feels nicely complete.

pierrec 2013-09-09 12:34

The game is good and funny! I would have loved to play more difficult levels! Will you make some more ?
The music was a bit boring in the end.

tigerj 2013-09-17 00:33

Really awesome, really pants. nice job!
