Awesome stuff! Loving the style and the mood you got going on. Pineapple pizza is a great theme. Good audio too.

Very well done! This is one of those gems you stumble upon once in a while, when rating LD games. The visuals, audio and storytelling all complement eachother, and create a very moody and humorous experience.
NICE!
This one was good! The graphics are unique, the audio is good and the story is lovely! Nothing more to say :D
Wow! I love this kind of experiments. The navigation is awesome,great work!
This is a pretty cool game. The graphics are amazing and fits well with the audio. The dithering effect looks really nice. However, I have no idea on how to stop the murder. I'm guessing you have to say something to someone, but after a few tries, I was still getting nowhere. The beginning was also a bit confusing, as it took me a bit to figure out which character in the cutscene was mine
@lancescaterpie, very cool game. Loved the audio and visual style!
Wow, just wow, this game is amazing, graphics looks very good, and music is just so rad, I can't stop listening to it, but it was a confusing ride, still didn't get what should I do to stop the murder, btw @lancescaterpie can you please leave a download link with a music from this one? It's sounds so cool that I want to listen to it again and again!
@freyby I've put a link to the soundtrack in the description!
Loving the style!
The graphics and the audio really come together to make a very unique and interesting aesthetic. I liked the little mystery story too, loved trying to get to the bottom of it.
The controls and initial experience needs a little bit of work, though. At first it's pretty difficult to know where to go or what to do, and later on I kept wanting to press space because I can read a lot faster than the text's appearance speed, but when I skipped forward the text I only got like half a second to read it before it went to the next piece of text. Basically, either add the option of turning off the auto-continue for the text, or at least remove the option to make the text skip the typing animation because that feature is useless when it anyway auto-continues right at the end of the typing animation.
Really enjoyed the game though, very unique and full of your own style.
Amazing artstyle, seriously awesome work. I'm totally gonna pore over that source code to figure out how you did it, haha.
I have to say, the music for this was absolutely amazing. I loved the art-style as well. Once I figured out what was going on it was fun to try to track down the events that were happening. A bit confusing at first, but now that I know what to do I actually don't mind the vague intro. I would say it could use a slightly clearer beginning, like... where to go (unless I just missed that bit). I still absolutely loved it.
Awesome mood! I didn't beat it but will definitely try it again.
Good atmosphere, music and overall idea. Take on the theme, while not clear in the beginning, is also an interesting one.
The rasterization effect could be a bit easier on the eyes - the same idea, bit with slightly smaller dots would help during longer gameplay :)
Opening is awesome, although a bit confusing the first time (took me a while to understand I'm the inspector, not the father), game plays well later. I'd merge ctrl and space button to operate (it would resemble an atari game then :D ), since it would be more convenient and I can't really see a reason not to.
I didn't manage to beat the game in my playthroughs though. I've seen (I think) all the scenes that play out during the day, searched the room while they were empty, but still I didn't manage to avert the death. Got two bad 'endings'. I somehow cannot replicate the dialogue with Pizzeria owner about the mob boss situation, and I get the feeling that to complete the game you have to be either extremely precise, or really frantic about your actions :)
Overall, a solid project, and well executed. With a tad more development it could easily become a bigger game.
Cheers!
Very cool look. love the surrealness of it. Bit glitchy, crashed once for me.
Very interesting. Some slight control issues, but otherwise it's was fun to try and figure out what needed to be done.
I really enjoy this overall! Unfortunately the game crashes whenever I try to talk to the mayor right after the cutscene he has with the mob boss. Not sure if that effects my ability to beat the game or not because I can't seem to figure out how to avoid the murder either way. I'll probably try a few more times regardless since it's a cool story and I'm interested in seeing it played out. Like others have said the music and graphics are great and create a strong atmosphere. Excellent work!
Wonderful graphics and music. The game seems interesting but it was hard to play for me because I had trouble reading the text. I think I will come back and try to unravel the mystery. Plot based games are always impressive due to time constraints, so good job!
I played this on Livestream Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-ZBj_dJa4
I had a lot of issues playing this, the scrolling-dithering art style made me very sick. I don't know if others have had this issue before. I REALLY enjoyed the mood / Atmosphere and I'm really sad I can't get thru more of it as I'm a huge noir fan.
@occultone Thanks for playing as long as you did, I had no idea the graphics would do that to people, and I'm sorry if you were badly affected :(
