Looks cool, I wish there was a Windows version !

sarahfrisk 2014-12-08 04:28

Argh, I thought I had fixed the link and apparently I deleted it. Shall fix!

sharp911 2014-12-08 04:29

Yeah I with it was Win compatible, I cant rate as I dont have a mac and dont run linux.

sarahfrisk 2014-12-08 04:31

Windows link has been fixed, forgot to add the http:// to the url so it didn't appear.

Awesome art, and the database narrowing things down is actually pretty neat. Good job!

Pretty cool game. Unique art and style, and I liked the "where in the world is carmen sandiego?" feel lol. Great work!

Well done, though you can't actually run out of fuel (I was at -30% by the end).
Great artwork, by the way.

Got a little frustrated getting the same data multiple times even after a successful chase, but I enjoyed the solar system trivia!

sarahfrisk 2014-12-08 06:01

@Halleflux I must have accidentally broke the out of fuel ending when I was tweaking the two main endings.

Found the criminal! Really well executed and a refresh of astronomy indeed! :P

Great game. I love the whole tininess thing, I just with that the one screen could be a little...larger. A lot of fun, not challenging but satisfying. Great job.

raptor85 2014-12-08 07:44

reminds me a lot of carmen sandiego, managed to apprehend the suspect.

sharpcoder 2014-12-08 16:12

Fantastic job! That was quite fun. You should consider making this a mobile game or something, because I could see certain people spending a lot of time playing something like this (especially if it was more challenging). I loved the subtle space trivia as well - overall, sweet game!

thristhart 2014-12-08 16:17

Yaaaay I did it. Fun way to learn some planetary trivia. Good "it is a mystery" music. I enjoyed the feel of narrowing down the potential suspects. I don't think this fits the theme at all, though. Not that I blame you, this was a terrible theme.

sarahfrisk 2014-12-08 16:23

My nod to the theme was that everything occurred IG-BOT CAM computer screen, and you're using that screen to get into contact with the the agents, IG-BOT, and access the criminal database.

I figured whoever the Space Inquisitor was, they spent most of their time in an office on a giant Imperial Spaceships, checking in with all the lackeys who were doing the actual investigation.

Made me re-live my Carmen Sandiego days :) art was great!

pjchardt 2014-12-09 01:41

Great! Reminds me of the old Carmen Sandiego game I played in school. I also enjoyed having to google info to know where to go, I learned a bit while playing :) Wonderful entry.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-09 16:15

Cool stuff! Nice art, and I liked the educational aspects of it, quite refreshing.

f7f5 2014-12-09 21:23

Refreshing change from the usual LD entry. Loved the graphics and the use of Otomata.

tuism 2014-12-09 22:00

Pretty solid! I was surprised by the Google involvement :) It's like one of those old educational games - I played Eagle Eye Mysteries (and In EEM London), aw really loved them :)

Didn't find much in terms of design fault, other than the fact I don't know for how long you could keep a modern person for with this kind of mechanic :)

But that's for a longer term game of course! No problem now! :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-10 01:09

Love the graphics! I Included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Kdfz6b6_ebE

teamquadratic 2014-12-10 04:46

Fun and very polished!

puppetmaster 2014-12-10 08:06

Love you graphics style. Fun to play. Well done!

rjhunter 2014-12-10 23:08

Hehe, my entry was initially meant to be something like "Where on the Screen is Carmen Sandiego" -- it looks like you got a lot more of the investigative stuff than I did!

Lovely graphics, smooth interface... and I like the sinister undercurrent that had me asking "...wait, are *we* the bad guys?"

I didn't get the connection to the theme until I read your description in the comments. Perhaps a couple of in-game word changes ("My fuel levels", "IG-BOT is travelling to...") might have helped make the connection.

Fun game anyway, good job!

thopis 2014-12-13 03:17

Very cool art and great in general!Thank you :)

xanjos 2014-12-18 00:45

Pretty short but still very polished. I liked the whole deduction gameplay plus I get to learn stuff about planets at the same time :D.

phocker 2014-12-22 06:04

first - thanks for making the python game easy to play - usually it is a nightmare - great graphics and music - nice mechanics - adding to play again list

el_kloklo 2014-12-29 18:39

It's reminding me of the old board game Cluedo, mixed with wikipedia element :)
