It would be nice to start with at least one clue. Also, only providing an Android build is a bold move and will probably limit your player base. :) The cards are looking nice though.

Played on bluestacks, everything works well. Art and sound design are perfect. Looks and played like reigns + tinder. "cheeki breeki" - 12 Logvinovih iz 10
@ellenack Ehy:) thanks for your feedback! Every card has a very short description and some of them give you clues.
About the android build, we fix that by releasing a html 5 version of the game.
Art and sound were great. The jokes and references were great. :D It would be great to get a hint at the start, and make it more of a puzzle. I guess "sacrifices must be made" though. :)
This game is such a neat idea. I really liked it! Would be a great mobile game too if you added some more depth to it.
Had to load up my bluestacks VM for this, but it was worth it! This is great! Wish I could rate you in graphics, I really like this art style
I like Cluedo style puzzles ! Good arts and mood, but I must say : the culprit on the 15 suspects round had a hat, when one of the clues said he had not for sure. And, yes, a mexican hat *is* a hat. Good job anyway, it was fun to play. :)
I really like it. the music is great and I love the artwork.
@treslapin Thanks for the feedback and kind words! :)
@papercookies thanks! We are working on it, right now ;)
@lereveur Ops... That's a nice bug! We'll fix it soon! Thanks for your help!
This is a really neat little concept! I solved most of the levels using just random guesswork though - I could never be a detective xD I love the vine references tho OMG
another underlooked game, the concept is pretty cool, i love the game, i love everything here. and i had a lot of fun playing it, you should polish it later and have a mobile version of it
Well polished. Kept wanting more hints without making a sacrifice, but dems the rules!
Nice game, I loved the humor on the description and the concept. Nice use of the theme. Maybe try to add a way to restart from the level you just lost and not from the beginning. good work :)
Everything is crisp, clean and polished - from artwork to animations. This game is definitely made for mobile devices.
I think you should consider introducing more problem solving/ thinking scenarios. At the moment, the initial sacrifice to start off with feels a bit like trial and error. Think of point and click adventures and how they tackle problem solving.
The game looks polished enough for the app store. That's an impressive faet for your team in three nights. :thumbsup:
@pavocado Thanks for playing! Hope you had fun! :)
@fattori We are currently working on it! If you would like to follow the development, here is the link of the [Twitter profile](https://twitter.com/Cyberpangames) we have just opened! Thank you for your feedback :)
@ghostmaple Thank for your feedback, we will balance the hint system in the next versions of the game :)
@vivien-fargette Thank you :) We will consider that option. Hope you had fun anyway!
@MZA Thanks, caffeine helped us a lot! The gameplay will change based on your feedback in the next version, therefore we will consider a better approach for identifying the culprit. Also yes, we are planning a mobile release on the AppStore. If you have any further suggestions, you can tweet us and follow our brand-new profile here: [@Cyberpangames](https://twitter.com/Cyberpangames)
Nice hommage to Reigns! I'd wish it made a little more sense to receive hints after killing an innocent. Maybe some type of lore explanation. Also, being able to see the next next if you move the card in front of it seemed a little bit like cheating, I'd prefer if I didn't know who's next and I have to decide if the one I'm seeing fits the culprit description of not and if I should execute them.
Other than that, pretty solid game! Good atmosphere and graphics! (If you're gonna release the game be careful with the simmilarities to Reigns, it might be considered in poor taste to have not only the same mechanic but also the same artstyle)
Hm... I also o wish we got 1 hint at the start, the descriptions are mostly jokes/references which makes it hard to pick who to sacrifice for the clue. Then again... I thought it would be a list of suspects with more information about them, so that's why I was surprised they are just blank people. For that reason I did not enjoy guessing with blood type as that seemed very random, but that's all for the criticism! Overall it was a very fun experience and I'm looking forward to the updated version. :)
Reigns-like game! Cool! I like the whole vibe, good music (although quickly repetitive), the art style is really good (I suppose very inspired by Reigns too). I like that type of gameplay but it didn't feel objective enough, you don't get enough tangible leads to actually get anywhere, and their "alibis" aren't really alibis. I like the humour but it may be getting too much in the way of the actual gameplay.
Kudos for putting ace people in there :)
Pretty solid Reigns-like game with crisp graphics and great audio, the card interaction was on point too. I got to say that choosing the killer is much of a random crapshoot though as what people say do not seem to be helpful for the most bit and definitely do not sound like they are being interrogated. The obvious clues do help you to narrow the culprit down but are a little too obvious, was hoping for some logical statements so you could do some detective like work and spot the inconsistency. I'm not sure how a card Reigns style format has benefited the game too as you seem to be mostly cycling sequentially through cards.
Very unique game design - I haven't played Reigns, so I'm not too sure about the similarity, however, I loved the idea of a Tinder style detective game. I had a lot of difficulty deciphering clues about who the murderer was from just the cards alone, so sacrificing was definitely a mandatory for me.
Due to that difficulty, I felt the game could use some balancing to make it (slightly) more solvable who the killer is without having to sacrifice too many times - This may be the case however, and I was just exceptionally bad at figuring it out, haha.
I had an issue a few times where I swiped one direction and got the opposite effect I was hoping for, however, this may have been due to my mouse leaving the game-window and causing some confusion. Wasn't a major issue, but it did cause a few accidental deaths.
Those comments aside, this was a very neat entry. Well done to the development team! :rocket:
It's dynamic and ambience is very neat. Well done
@ynneblack thanks for your feedback! We are working on it and trying to improve the system based on your suggestions.
@lucien-catonnet The graphic is not directly inspired by reigns but we've needed to keep it simple (flat style/ minimalist) in order to highlight some physical aspects of the suspects. Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
@randomphantom we are working on it and trying to make it more investigative in the next versions. Thanks for your feedback!
Nice entry, with a nice mood and mechanic. It has a lot of potential. :smiley:
I'm gonna go against the crowd here and not call it a Reigns-like :). If anything, it reminded me of https://store.steampowered.com/app/501320/The_Shrouded_Isle/ which is a murder deduction + sacrificing game that has a similar concept. I think it would be neat to find 1 more game mechanic to add onto the deduction-side of the game to push it just one step further. Overall this game was still pretty fun, and finding the killer per round was very satisfying, especially when you had 1 heart left. Unique idea and execution for this LD, good job!
@peachtreeoath oh my... Never heard of that game before! The art style is amazing! By the way, thanks for your feedback, how I said in other comments, we are listening to every suggestion you made and we are working on a new version right now.
Really good entry! I had a lot of fun with this one. The way you had to sacrifice to find the culprit was fun and the art went well along with it. Great job!
This was a really well done game. The level of polish is great and the take on the theme is unique. I have bad short term memory, so it became a struggle near the end to remember all the clues at times, but that's on me more than the game. Overall, great job!
Enjoyed the gameplay. Reading the same descriptions each round got a little redundant and didn't seem to assist much in helping you figure out the culprit. There still was humor and I enjoyed deducing the killer.
I really liked this! I thought it was unique and fun. One thing I'd really like would be to be able to read all the people without having to swipe all the way through for each one. The music was relaxing and the game was engaging though thanks for making it!
A really innovative card game. And provided with the APK, it's also a great experience to play this on a mobile device. The killer is already predictable if you'll play it again from the start. Pretty neat though, thanks for this game.
I like the concept though I felt lost most of the times, thinking I was choosing victims with barely any clues at all. With some more deduction challenges this could be pretty cool. Also, I'd consider choosing a different artstyle, with the swiping mechanics it reminds way too much to Reigns.
Anyway, cool work. Hope you take this further.
Wow, this is such a cool idea, and was made really well. The game is incredibly polished, the art is great, the music sounds, and the music sounds really nice.
