It doesn't work for me. Windows + Chrome.

dunin 2014-08-24 23:06

argh, bad start...
it works for me with Chrome. Maybe the browser isn't up to date. Or the loading too long (I didn't make a loading screen...)

ramori 2014-08-24 23:47

Interesting, took me a while. Graphics remind me of C64 games :)

koalamo 2014-08-25 01:21

Really cool concept.

druid 2014-08-25 12:41

Interesting game, reminds me 6 degrees of sabotage :D

stephan_h 2014-08-25 15:07

Great game. Love the characters.

nelly 2014-08-25 15:10

paypal? wat?

fserb 2014-08-25 15:10

I liked it :)

arzi 2014-08-25 15:11

I like the idea, but I don't really see how it's connected (heh) to the theme. Also, the controls weren't very good, I managed to deduce the godfather, but when I pressed space there was another person already in the way.

lyszie 2014-08-25 15:26

It worked fine for me on Chrome+Mac. It was a fun game :)) interesting choice of theme

dunin 2014-08-25 15:35

thank all!
@Druid: I didn't know it, cool game!
@Nelly: Sorry, I don't look at all the settings of itch.io, too tired. My mistake.
@arzi: it's people from "different world". the connection is that all know who the Godfather is. Maybe it's too fetched. And accuse the godfather means catch him (see the arrow). for two player it's a good part of the game...

cacciatc 2014-08-25 23:47

Getting the timing right to accuse/question could be annoyingly tricky. Fun game and a logic puzzle to boot!

rantt 2014-08-26 02:13

I like the old school graphics, fun game :)

berail 2014-08-26 15:14

Simple but funny game to play with friend :D

makio 2014-08-26 15:17

working fine ( mac / chrome ), I like this pixel art style and enjoy you did it with phaser :) ! Inspector win 8)

windmill-games 2014-08-26 15:17

The wall of text in the start was a bit offputting and not really required as the controls and objective is quite simple. When you get past this obstacle the game it self it quite fun. Its fairly simple, yes, but sometimes less is more. I am not quite sure how this fits the theme though.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 15:18

Godfather wins! I have been defeated!

camilleh 2014-08-26 15:19

Interesting idea. It gets a bit tricky with them crossing in front of each other though but that probably adds to the challenge. Nice job! Just a note, I didn't know I had to click on the main picture to start the game, I waited for a bit for something to happen or load.

kdunee 2014-08-26 15:19

I really liked the game a lot, especially once you figure out a strategy, but the connection to the theme seems quite weak.

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 15:21

The idea here is one that's rarely seen in many games, and it can be really fun if done right. Sucks that I can only play with the Ai as I don't have anyone to join me atm. Don't really see any correlation with the theme.... Artwork looks good, though.

esayitch 2014-08-26 19:35

Big block of text at the start was a bit too much and made it sound like it's more complicated than it is. Game itself is strangely fun, if simple, and the graphics and sounds add a lot to it. I liked!

waynaul 2014-08-27 04:38

Fun game. I like the variety in the characters. Well done!

hyoga-3d 2014-08-27 12:53

Nice concept, pretty difficult though.

catonmars 2014-08-27 13:26

Interesting concept and nice graphics!

sunflower 2014-08-27 19:38

Simple but entertaining concept; not something I'd replay it over and over again, but still fun to play. I really liked the variety of characters; the only odd thing I noticed about graphics is that the inspector has outlines, while the suspects don't. Overall very solid entry, though its use of theme is a bit too metaphorical for most, I'm afraid. ^^"

(ps. I replied to your comment on my entry, maybe you'll find my response helpful)

depp 2014-08-28 03:09

That's slick! I even like playing against the "dumb ai".

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-28 06:33

Nice concept, but it's hard to select the person we want perhaps you could add something like "please don't move for a second" or use a selector attached to a selected person... I don't know... however, I found the godfather and that's a nice entry

voider 2014-08-28 15:36

I really enjoyed hidden in plain sight, so I'm looking forward to try this one with some friends -glad you included gamepad support, and even azerty keyboard config :D.

The dumb AI looks pretty decent, and the graphics fit really well with the game!

2014-08-28 16:09

Intéressant...

ceosol 2014-08-28 17:56

Replying to your comment on my game. I totally agree with the bad tone, different weapons and/or chords. I plan to continue the project and add those things in as I get the time :)

About your game: It is definitely something that you should develop further. The actors moved a little bit to quickly and sometimes the godfather was stuck moving behind someone else. That being said, I could see this being a big hit on the mobile app market. People are looking for something quick to spend some time and your game would do the trick :)

kristof 2014-08-29 18:43

The concept is really nice. But I think it is missing something to make it more interesting...
The characters move a bit fast and as there are so many, it is hard to target the correct one. The graphics and music add a nice retro feeling. Overall, nice work!

hypnohustla 2014-08-30 06:56

Loved it, so simple yet fun. Good character designs with moody music. Great game :)

4xisblack 2014-08-31 09:33

This fits well within the emerging genre of asymmetrical couch coop games I've seen around the internet lately; it'd be great for parties and whatnot. I like the unique take on the theme! I also like that the godfather will lie to you; it creates interesting moments where two people accuse one another :P

off 2014-09-01 19:51

The theme and graphics are really nice.
Actually the simple interrogation process is evry intuitive, my only critic is that maybe characters are moving too fast. But actually even with Dumb AI, the game is pretty nice and fun. The soundtracj could also be better but that really a details.

Salutation d'un autre ludum darer français! ;)

spotco 2014-09-01 19:51

Big wall of text is definitely not best way to explain the game.
Was surprisingly fun, and liked the character art.

dissiden7 2014-09-01 20:08

Was a bit hard to select a character and ended up making mistakes because of that.

But it was a really nice and different game.

dylanwolf 2014-09-05 03:15

This is a neat concept for a deduction game, and I like the polished retro style.

rodroy1 2014-09-06 20:13

Nice game. The controls are a bit fiddly as I found myself interacting with people I didn't mean to when playing a the inspector. Reminds me a lot of spy party.

roguenoodle 2014-09-11 11:15

Pretty fun! Didn't quite get it at first, but once I did, I enjoyed playing against the dumb AI :) Could see this being really fun with two people

sephyka 2014-09-13 12:04

Génial! Le gameplay me rappelle un peu Hidden In Plain Sight, un jeu super rigolo où les joueurs sont planqués parmi une foule d'IA, avec plein de mini challenges par équipe. J'étais super fan du genre. Beau boulot sur la DA en pixel et les personnages. C'est vrai qu'une fois qu'on a capté la mécanique, difficile de se tromper (d'ailleurs j'ai toujours trouvé le suspect). Ça mériterait peut-être quelques mécaniques de gameplay additives pour brouiller les pistes. :)

frankus 2014-09-15 16:10

Nice game. I think that without a friend to play with, it can be difficult and less fun. The overlapping characters mede it hard for me to see which character I was talking to. Great job!
