Speed Interrogating by Jezzamon

[raw]
made by Jezzamon for LD27 (JAM)
There's a murderer on the lose, but in on is 50 seconds! That leaves you 10 seconds to interrogate each suspect, and 10 seconds to decide who's guilty!

Question your suspects about each other, and they'll give you a fact about them (what clothes they are wearing, or what their background colour is). Murderers are inherently dishonest, so they can't help lying! Try to figure out whose story doesn't add up before the ads are up!

Controls:
1-9: Question / accuse
Space: Move to next person / restart game (at end)
M: Mute sounds
Right Click: Adjust difficulty

I failed horribly. I love the idea though.

Great concept, and a beautifully clean graphical style.

I was pretty terrible at the game but I liked the idea, vibe, art and music. Perhaps 1-9 is too much and if you limited the options to 1-4 or something it would play easier?

Too much information to keep in the head all time.

Great idea, though, wish interface was more convenient.

Nice concept and great art. The controls are not that intuitive, though

I had to play it a few times to tell whether I was winning or not (if you haven't lost, the win screen is a bit confusing). This was crazy fun, and I loved everything about it

I absolutely love the concept. Please develop this more! In practice, I found it really really confusing, but with a bit of work I think it would be a really great game.

You did a fantastic job of making a murder mystery without words! I wish some of the colours would have been more different from each other, especially the background colours and the shirts. Juggling dark green and light green, or pale pink and pale purple was a bit of work.
But you did a great job with this!

Nice Entry! Graphics are simple but efficient. Getting the right suspect is not always easy. I first did not quite get the commands and needed some runs to get an idea of what to do.
