Very much in line with the theme. Success feels a little random, in whether or not you get a good enough Venn diagram hint early enough to do OK. The hidden clues were lost on me until I read the info here - I didn't really know who the VIP was, and I sure didn't know these other clues.

Waiting for text to appear made the play time a little longer than it needed to, so I wasn't captured long enough to see some of the more nuanced features kick in.

The player is expected to sit back before taking action and determine who to target based on information given. The graphics (at a glance) may not look spectacular, but once you get into the game and start playing, you immediately realize that there's something special going on with the graphics... That is, everything is animated! Everything! I mean... EVERYTHING! Right down to the Font, icons and even the talk bubble itself is fully animated. This level of detail is very impressive, especially for a game jam. The music writing was good, but the 8-bit sound quality is never a good thing for me (being an old man with hearing problems). I would definitely play this game again when I have a little more time. I consider this to be a good candidate for the game jam. I hope to see you near the top.
