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.
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!)
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.
Thank you a lot for hosting this game jam, this was the first time I did one and finished it, and it was very cool ! Your game is awesome btw, it’s crazy how you did it in such a short time.
Super fun! I just wish at the end, it would show you what each of the real criminals look like compared to the one you arrested. I only got the fart gallery vandal wrong... I must know who to take in!

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

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

it broke
6 out of 10! Maybe i should change careers
really fun but wont tell me if i am right or wrong which is sad
it does tell you, only at the end
Thanks
this is so fun! a story mode would be really cool
nigga this IS the story
this should have gamemodes like hard easy and medium
awww nigga wants a dark souls mode
This was so fun omg... please make an endless mode or something
Thank you! I'd love to do endless mode but idk how the dialogue portion would work off the top of my head tbh
you could probably have 5 dialogue options for each then randomize them
I absolutely LOVE this game! I would love for you to make it a full scale thing! I would buy the shit out of that!!
I tried playing but I don't know how to click on the character to choose it :(
why can't i play the game, it says memory access out of bounds :(((
its happening to me too :((((
why is the continue button blocked?
Click on the speech bubble again if theres a triangle. Then u can move to the next part
This was so much fun!
I enjoyed this. Maaaaayy have arrested one innocent person 😅
Thank you a lot for hosting this game jam, this was the first time I did one and finished it, and it was very cool ! Your game is awesome btw, it’s crazy how you did it in such a short time.
Wow!! This was a ton of fun! I'm shocked it was done in only 48 hours
Thanks so much!
Super fun! I just wish at the end, it would show you what each of the real criminals look like compared to the one you arrested. I only got the fart gallery vandal wrong... I must know who to take in!
We had some extra stuff planned for the end but had to shave it down due to the time limit. Maybe a future update! Glad you had fun!
Another great quirky game from Shawcat. It's the third game in the video and starts at 21:44.
