This is really good! Specially for a game jam! You (and your team if there was one) have a huge potential for game dev

I got 9/10....maybe I should've went into forensics in college.

I got 6/10, Christ, some of those people were absolutely useless.

Sorry to the kid, but I genuinely wanted to smack them over the head. Gently, but still.

And the cop… Oh god, the damn cop. I know it’s not meant to be easy, but at least give me a better description then what your donut looks like! I need hair color, not sprinkles!

The kid answered the wrong questions on different questions

i got 6 right but i laugh cause i drew it all wrong but still got 6 nice game btw

cant click continue idk whu

7/10, I was shocked it wasn't any of the ones with poor descriptions

These got more and more insane.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT THE DRAWING?!

you must select something for every detail and then on the top right corner a "continue" bottom will appear

6/10 , must improve

This is absolutely lovely, so fun yet entertaining. I saw the video and after playing it couldn't believe it was really done in 2 days, great work!

This is such an amazing game to be done in 48 hours. Love the art and character design. 

I got a 10/10 surprisingly XD

I only got a 6/10, but I still really enjoyed this game! Baffles me it was made in only 48 hours. If it got more time, I could see this becoming an even BETTER game.

It's amazing to me that this was made in a mere 48 hours. That's an incredible accomplishment. I enjoyed this game quite a bit (I got 8 out of 10 correct) and appreciate having had the opportunity to try it out.

I jotted down a few ideas or suggestions that I had while playing:

  • A "new game" or similar button at the end would have been nice, for players who wanted to start back over again easily and try another round of it. Not strictly necessary though. It's easy enough to close out the game, reload the page, and try again.
  • Adding an element of randomization would really help give the game better replayability. Of course it would require more dialog to be added, either having multiple variations per character, or maybe add more characters that the game could randomly pick from out of a pool of 20 total or something, with 10 for each game session.
  • You could also add difficulty levels with easier clues and more vague/cryptic ones too. You already do have a degree of variance with that in place as it is.

There were also a few spelling/punctuation corrections to make in some of the dialogs that I noticed:

Granny's Lines

"I'm sorry to bother you but I seem to be in a bit of a pickle."

    Should have a comma after "you"

"Oh, wont you please help me find the one who did it?"

    "Wont" needs to have an apostrophe.

"My grand kids never believe me when I warn them about that but its true!"

    "Grand kids" should be "grandkids" instead, you need a comma after "that", and "its" needs an apostrophe.

"Scars? Oh, heavens no, I would hope not. Even for a ruffigan like themselves."

    You may want an exclamation point instead of a period after "not" for emphasis. Also "ruffigan" was intentional I'm guessing, as a portmanteau of "hooligan" and "ruffian"? If not, you probably want to pick one of those two instead.

Farmer's Lines

"I could barely tell under all that thick bushy beard."

    You probably want a comma after "thick" here for a natural pause.

"Ain't you listenin?! Dark! Dark hair, I say! HE MILKED MY COW!!!"

    "Listenin" should have an apostrophe at the end.

"Lookin' real guilty of a COW MILKIN! But I can see RIGHT through that facade!"

    "MILKIN" should have an apostrophe at the end.

Art Gallery Owner's Lines

"I require reperation for the incredible wrongdoing done to my establishment!!"

    "Reperation" should be "reparation" instead.

"Unbothered by the atrocities they have committed! But no winds or lashes is stronger than me, an art gallery owner."

    Either change "is" to "are" to reflect the plural, or change "winds" to "wind" and "lashes" to "lash" to make it singular instead.

"Like it didn't bother pulling it's weight when the face was molded from the earth."

    "It's" should be "its" here instead, without the apostrophe.

Super fun! I got 8/10

9/10 pretty good :)

8/1o... close enough

(+1)

10/10 YESS the police should hire me asap 😌✨

The tattoos never look right from the drawing stage to the suspect selection stage, they always look different. 

(+1)

Cool game concept! Wish there was at lease some sort of "You Did It" screen at the end or something but other than that it was good. Got 9/10 in the end (damn you toilet-brush hair!)

XD

game loads forever on mobile </3

(+1)

Fun game and concept! I guessed 7 out of 10 of the criminals correctly. Although it's weird that the music in the drawing section doesn't loop. You might have already known that, though.

it broke

6 out of 10! Maybe i should change careers
