There's a brightly colored killer on the loose! Are your shoes gummy enough to track him down and then bring him to Justice*?

In Profiling: The Game!, you are given a full set of specs on the perp and it's up to you to throw the book at him*!

Don't be too reckless and arrest* an innocent, though! And don't let him get away!

CONTROLS:
Press 'TAB' to pull up the killer's information.
Press 'Space' to zoom in on your crosshair.
'Left click' to shoot the perp!

*Shoot him

Excellent idea but was way too hard to find the guy in time. There's a better game in there somewhere.

I could not find the killer, it seems really impossible to do it in 20 seconds

Even without the wacky controls with the space bar, I think the timer is wayy to short to give a fair chance to the player

Did it! On my third or fourth try. Quite a challenge. Cool idea for the theme. If there was more of an AI there could also be behavior as part of the profile which could be cool.

Clever idea (and great description), but...it's basically impossible to play, I mean there's NO way you can find the right character in 20 seconds! But hey, good job putting the game together. ;)

I shoot him one but it was by luck !
Could be better with an inverted chronometers, find his as fast as you can but with just a scoring effect. (maybe he could kill more people as long as he alive, making it more easy to you to find him if you blind like me?)

I think that zoom mechanic is not really needed because of the short time to find the killer. If found him though but the challenge is rather high :D
