Nice concept, it's a kind of remastered "guess who ?". Though, I find it pretty difficult, like I tried 5 times and I accused an innocent each time XD

iozsaygi 2019-10-06 20:15

It reminds the some game that i used to play but i don't quite remember that one. It was a detective themed game. Good job tho!

bjeaurn 2019-10-06 20:37

Fun art style, fun game idea. I like it, I had no clue how to solve it; so many people that could be lying. Great idea though!

bobotast 2019-10-06 20:49

@bjeaurn I'm glad you enjoyed it! Only about 1/4 of the people are lying, majority consensus has been correct for the games I've played.

cooz 2019-10-06 22:15

Absolute fan of the moving legs and caracters graphisms! I had to try 6 or 7 times before accusing the bad guy! It's really fun! However what about the theme? :water_polo:

stefanie-leitch 2019-10-06 22:17

Interesting idea, definitely enjoyed the graphics. Had a hard time figuring out how you were supposed to deduce the guilty party though. Overall, good job!

jedineeson 2019-10-06 22:19

Great SFX and Graphics! It's Immersive to, GG well done !

william-carlisle 2019-10-06 22:24

That's Really Fun!

bobotast 2019-10-06 22:26

@cooz lol, it's tangentially related to the theme. You start with no idea who took your Tim Tams. And with no Tim Tams! But I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

travis-carlen 2019-10-06 22:27

I do love the graphics style you had throughout, and it made me think a little as I tried to do a head count and remember exactly what "navy" meant in terms of color. Great Job!

to have trusted one's advice and then realized i was lied to is the most i have felt myself to have nothing while playing through these games.

kuviman 2019-10-06 22:57

Hard. A lot of people are liars. They are not innocent at all, it is also a lie!

adroitconceptions 2019-10-06 23:12

interesting air style. took a few moments to figure out how to 'talk' to people to get the clues.

one problem I had was the 100% reliance on color (I have a red-green color deficiency - various color blindness-es account for 8% of men, 4.5% of people world wide), something to consider for a color matching game.

bocodillo 2019-10-06 23:15

I love the crazy walk animations. Never managed to find the culprit though, guess my Tim Tams are gone forever.

svyatozar 2019-10-06 23:19

can't win it! :-)

callavicka 2019-10-06 23:29

Fun little game! I like the art style you chose. It would be cool if you got to ask people for hints rather than them giving the hints automatically. As in you could ask for shirt/pants/shoe color and have more player choice in the game. It may make it more interesting.

musicblox 2019-10-06 23:36

Not my Tim Tams! This game is just ridiculous fun. Frantically running around the black square and listening to people randomly shouting what the perpetrator was wearing. A tooltip for the accuse button could have been nice, but the game is brilliant the way it is right now.

xacur 2019-10-07 00:28

Very good, ingenious game. I like the art style and how fast you can play it. It's hard though.

cirno 2019-10-07 00:36

The idea of this game is quite fun. It is not a logical problem but you need to investigate different people and find out the truth most people hold. This makes the game different from most similar games I have seen.

iconocatstudio 2019-10-07 01:55

Love the walking animation, it's too good! It's a good concept, and a nice play on the theme. Well done!

100th-coin 2019-10-07 02:39

Oh man i'm a terrible detective. I can't figure out who's telling the truth and who's lying!

karlipoppins 2019-10-07 02:42

Love this little PICO-8 entry! Fun little concept, I actually had to get my notebook out to win the game :) Love the execution and simplicity, I think you can game the system by just checking if 2 people are giving the same (item/color) combo to know if it's the truth, but I may be wrong?

One of my favorite entries so far!

khaotom 2019-10-07 02:58

The walk animations are funny, really like them. I like the minimal visual presentation too. I caught two perps on the first try each. Maybe I'm destined to become a detective?

bobotast 2019-10-07 02:58

@karlipoppins I'm glad you enjoyed it! How it works is, there are 31 other people (besides yourself). Seven are liars, and one of those liars is the thief. Everyone else gives a random detail about the thief, but liars give a random detail about some other random person.

So if two or more people give the same detail, it's probably right. But there is a (small) possibility, that two or more liars will happen to give the same (incorrect) detail.

6smith 2019-10-07 03:01

being colorblind makes this pretty hard haha

yayiest 2019-10-07 11:38

Nice game! It took me a while to work out that X was the accuse button, does it mention the controls anywhere? But after that managed to guess the correct person first try! :smile: I also really like the walking animation.

kazatan 2019-10-07 14:37

I like these sorts of deduction games :smiley: and i love the crazy spaghetti legs :laughing:

It would have been awesome to have a little background music to add to the tension but otherwise this is a solid little game, nice work! :thumbsup:

randdir 2019-10-07 16:56

Really nice concept, loved it really fun to play keep it up :)

lukvasando 2019-10-07 20:53

I didnt get the tim tams!

w0lfenstein 2019-10-07 21:30

Cute graphics and animation, interesting and simple gameplay. Enjoyable!

starvingindie 2019-10-07 21:40

Neat little game. I found that some of the clues were contradictory, was this on purpose? All in all I enjoyed this pico :) great work!

danielcmcg 2019-10-07 22:07

Very good art style, I'm pretty bad at it though =P.

simxple 2019-10-07 22:27

Nice artstyle, and game idea! But quite hard to solve.

netmute 2019-10-08 13:50

Loved the idea! A bit like playing werewolf with your friends :) I just walked around and tried to find common clues, then accused the first person who claimed the opposite xD

Edit: You even randomized it each time! *highfive

raomer 2019-10-08 18:06

Yeah, got my tim tams on the first attempt :) Maybe i was just lucky. Interesting take on the theme. The walk animation is nuts, i love it! People with difficulties telling colors apart will have a problem, i would say.

lesinvisible 2019-10-08 20:20

I don't know how I did it, but i WON, great game, 10/10!

agrdev 2019-10-09 20:22

Really fun! Characters design is great :D Very solid entry.

f1krazy 2019-10-11 20:38

On the one hand, this is short even by Ludum Dare standards. On the other hand, the fact it's randomised gives it a level of replayability that very few LD entries have. Gameplay-wise, it's simple, but tricky: you gotta try and chat to everyone, keep track of the most common colours they mention, and then try and find whoever matches that description. I love the stylised character designs, they have real personality to them.

And it's always good too see other people using PICO-8 for this!

hcursino 2019-10-14 10:08

Aaay! A game that is different! Good job at this one, it was quite fun and I just LOVE those legs animation! hahahaha Great game.
