The Mouse Trap

Not exactly my type of game, but despite that I found it to be very entertaining.

Great writing and plot, definitely kept me interested throughout :). Interesting theme. My main feedback is probably stuff that's been said in every single feedback already, but music and sound effects would have really added to the atmosphere of the game.

Overall very well done! Congratulations.

I really liked how the story progressed, in the end, when all was revealed, it all came together soo nicely. This is quite the feat in writing for a 48 hour jam! Graphics were not the prettiest, but got the job done and were clean enough to not confuse items or anything.

Sound would have added a lot to the charm, but I've been there in other gamejams :D

This was surprisingly nice game, I liked it. It is too bad there wasn't any sonuds. Reminds me of old point'click games from internet. Game felt snappy as there were no extra animations, and you could try out possiblities fast, which is good in these kind of games. Extra animations would not have fitted graphical style of the game either. And I am surprised amount of conversations and pretty coherent story, good job with it.

I really like the creativity of the characters and their designs, and the art style feels like it fits the tone of the game really well. Great game over all. Good job, soldier.

I'm a big fan of the Ace Attorney series, and seeing a game in a similar style during a game jam is really fun. While I think the ambition of the project for a 48 hour game jam made other aspects of the game suffer, the art is still charming and the lack of music isn't a huge deal.

Obviously the writing of the game is where most of the charm is, and for a script written in 48 hours it's quite good.

On the gameplay side of things, it does suffer a little bit. The game falls into the same trap as the Ace Attorney investigation sections where you pretty much have to present every piece of evidence to every person. For example, I would have never presented the cat poster to the rich cat if I wasn't just presenting everything to everyone. I also would have liked to see the "Contradict" button on every piece of dialog that isn't your own, since finding the evidence to contradict something is usually pretty trivial.

Still, I'm impressed you were able to make this game at all, and had a blast playing it!

Very cool take on the theme. The story was really awesome too. I really liked this one. As others mentioned below, some audio cues would have made this entry really shine.

Great work overall!

Good murder mystery. I liked the character designs, and how three buttons unfolded a cascade of drama. It's unfortunate there aren't any sound effects. It really helps get through a lot of reading for me, even though I liked the writing a fair deal. The engine could be used to make a lot of fun games.

I actually really liked this one. Detective games are hard to come by in game jams. Good job on subverting my expectations, I thought all the time that it was the electrician or the businessman. The artstyle didn't actually bother me since it remained consistent and wasn't jarring to the eyes. What did bother me is the lack of any sound effects, which you could've just gotten from FreeSound.org, and a few plotholes. I was stuck a few times, once because I wanted to investigate the chain, but I was off by a few pixels, so I thought it couldn't be investigated, and later when I tried to contradict the electrician and showed her the fur, she said it doesn't support my case or whatever. What you could do next time is get someone, maybe a family member, to playtest your game, so you can patch up any plotholes and leave the player immersed.

I'm a fan of the Ace Attorney series so this was fun to play through. I think the addition of sound and music would have helped it out greatly. I was playing it with a friend and we were reading out all the lines in silly voices.

Felt the art style was actually quite charming too.

Haa, that was fun. I liked the artwork in all its clumsiness. Story flowed well forward and I didn't really get stuck at any point. It was pretty whole.

Sounds would have been a nice addition. Maybe some proper ending scene too?

Ps. Nice to see Megavolt has ended up trying a new life as Millie ;)

Wow, this one really surprised me. You knocked it out of the park! I love the ace attorney style and you got it totally on point. The characters are interesting, the world building is fun and matches the jam theme perfectly, and the mystery itself makes sense and gets the "aha!" moment right.

It feels like a very full experience, there's lots of stuff to examine and interact with.

It's a shame there's no sound, but the rest of it holds up very well, I'd say.
