Man I can't stop laughing, never tought in the word "summons" as court summons. Great sound effects and music. Also great idea. Characters are just too funny!

This is so funny lol. Love the voices but most of all I love the answers/hints it's just flawless. I'd have spent a weekend just thinking those up. I'd change nothing except maybe put an animation or something on the questions button since at first I couldn't understand where to click!

This was very interesting! I loved the character designs and the music.

Charming visuals and sound. The gameplay felt a bit tedious, since it's just there as an excuse to show off the art perhaps a more streamlined UI would have worked better? Have three questions per juror to select from, automatically move onto the next when you're done, to cut down on the clicking around through menus.

The core memorization loop feels very well tuned. That feeling of *why didn't I remember that?* is awesome!

*Huge kudos* for the music, too. It's a huge accomplishment to make music this good and also *make the rest of the game*, so congraulations on making the deadline!

The music was soo cool! I loved the sounds. But I prefer no talking when I am reading. So the first song was a little too loud. Nice Art!

Hi! Incredible characters, music and style, hope you're happy with the results, I can see how much work is behind this. Thanks

Really solid submission! Very unique idea and seemed well polished. was nervous near the end to see if I picked right since there was one I was on the fence about but everything worked out :)

Really fun take on the theme! The music is hilarious and really fit the mood of the game. All the character art is really cute too! Like some others have mentioned, moving through all of the menus is a bit fiddly, and it would have been nice to be able to check my client's info again after starting the questioning. Overall really nice!

It's strange, it's fun, the music makes me smile and the jurors are weird in a good way :) The art is interesting and silly at the same time :)

I liked the surreal vibe of the music and visuals, so many weird and wonderful jurors.

The vibe continued with the possible question categories and answers, very imaginative!

Lovely and hilarious!

My critique is, it's hard to focus on the game, especially at the part we read the game rules. Not being able to play the game fullscreen makes it harder. At some point I started to ask the jurors random questions just to see the game content, rather than trying to win the game.

5/5 for Innovation, Mood and Humour.

This is such a good take on the theme!

The characters were all unique, strange and hilarious :D I loved all the references and puns too! The fact that the judge made sure we did not ask too much of one question made things harder, but that's good.

Great job!

That was a really enjoyable time! The goofy music and wacky art worked really well together to make a really funny and good-feeling game. I for sure forgot some of the facts on the client which lead to some difficulty in narrowing down clients, but in a good way!

For sure one of the most unique interpretations of the theme I've seen which is awesome!

The music and sounds are absolutely incredible. Really neat idea and super funny. Great work!!

scottjmulligan 2024-04-16 04:01

I really like the art and music in your game! I also feel like it's a very creative spin on the theme. That said, I felt the core mechanic was a bit difficult to follow. I also felt it was pretty repetitive.

This is so much fun and creativity. I've not seen anything like this. I also love the jurors' character design, so cute and funny. Great work in every category/aspect.

Hi! Great music and sounds, and good writing. I like the idea. Game is quite challenging, too. Maybe the menus/UI could use some work, transitions/animations, some polish. But nevermind, very cool, had fun! Bye!

I like this game! You guys are great!

dishwand 2024-04-19 02:20

absolutely adoring the mood of this game. you did a great job with the soundtrack and character designs, and the mechanics of interviewing to weed out bad jurors is clever and hilarious.

The visuals and audio are fun and funny; I like the "handmade-touch" going on (I just wanted to say charming but someone else already said that, so I said something different). My short-term memory (for things that I feel are somewhat arbitrary) is trash, so I did terribly with this game. First go around, I accidentally got rid of the jurors on the defendant's side, but I figured out the game by then. Very interesting concept, and I like the silly options for every question and factoid. Good work!

I absolutely love the music!
