And now I'm late for work :(

Seriously amazing and fun game, well done! I've seen similar sorts of process of elimination puzzles, but this was a lot of fun, and the ruleset made things really interesting.

Just one word - amazing! I played many levels so as to discover how you manage difficulties among levels and I think that it's one of the best puzzle game which I have ever seen. The storyline is incredible. I don't like all these mythological myths, but yours is really pleasant. The gameplay is addictive. maybe the aesthetic could be better, but it's good enough. My favorite for the 35th LudumDare. What is the engine that you used so as to develop this project?

@Geckoo1337: Thanks! It's raw HTML5 (no engine). Each time I start an LD entry I grab the stuff I can reuse from my previous entry (loading files, playing music, setting up event listeners, common algorithms).

Wow, this one really got me intrigued. Im not a that big fan of puzzle gamess, but this one is really well done. The learning curve is quite right, the voice acting creates a nice mood and the puzzles are hard but never unfair. well done!

We managed to get to the end. Extra point for the end 'puzzle'. :-) Very well done, it feels quite polished for an 48h entry!.

There is also nice flow to the puzzle difficulty, you definitely got the progression right. More puzzles would be nice of course, maybe with multiple unknown prisoners.

We made a game with a very similar yet somehow very different take on the theme interpretation, maybe you want to check it out :-).

Amazing puzzle game!

The rule variations complement each other perfectly, the learning progression is excellent, and the graphics, sound and "intro sequences" combine to give the game a great atmosphere.

I also love the take on the theme, shaping both the playing field, and for the shapeshifter, even the rules of the puzzles themselves.

The last puzzle level was nicely challenging, and really brought all the previous mechanics together.

This is fantastic. I already played your last ludum dare game to the end and also this one. You are the master of puzzle games.
Also a very smooth control and nice sounds and music make this game absolutely fantastic!

Really fun and clever puzzle game. I can totally see this as something I'd pay for on my iPhone.

Really nice game, however I felt it was overly similar to the game you made for last Ludum Dare. You're a really interesting designer and I'd like to see something fresh...

Brilliant - really well done and exactly the kind of game I like. Make a load more levels and I'd buy it as a phone app.

This is just fantastic. An elegant set of mechanics in an elegant presentation, with wonderfully designed puzzles. The way you implemented the controls is also super user-friendly, which is impressive for a jam game.

Even though you've got a completely satisfying set of levels and story here, I'd love to see this expanded into a larger game, perhaps on iPad. If you do keep working on this, one of the things I'd recommend is a way to either mark squares as "ones I'm pretty sure about" or a "pencil mode" of some sort where I can mark squares I'm just testing out. Something like that could players experiment and manage some of the larger levels.

The game itself is great.

Sadly, my Browser (FF 46 on Debian Linux) froze several times for a half a minute or so before accepting its fate. I could only force-close it. :'-(

I would have never thought of a puzzle game like this, and I'm loving it. Fantastic job! Act 4 level 2 was probably my favorite of them all. Also, the last level of Act 4 was pure unmitigated evil and I hate you for that.

I would play the shit out of a post-compo version with more puzzles and prisoner types.
