anthropomorphic suspect by dunin

[raw]
made by dunin for LD35 (JAM)
A kind of mastermind with a sort of match-3 thing.

Help the old lady to found the thief...

In hard mode, you have 15 parts of body instead of 12.

Nice game! I love the pixel art and the "detective" feel it has.

Gotta be honest, music was annoying at first, but the game was pretty cool! Really innovative with the mixed game types and pretty fun. Artstyle was amazing and I can't wait to hear about that rotoscope tool :) Good job!

Incredibly nice implementation and art - the old woman spouted so many completely random lines :D

i... genuinely can't think of a criticism here for the actual game, it's pretty darn good. The soundtrack could use a little work - there, there's my nit-picking <3

Honestly though, consistent art style, easy-to-learn mechanics, and a solid,bug free game. Good work :3

Very charming little puzzle game. Good in pretty much all ways. You put quite a bit into the story. Good job!

Sometimes I get the answer but there are no specific parts. I don't understand soon, but still very interesting.

Cool concept! I beat easy mode after a second try. Awesome art for the different body parts.

This one is very funny! I'm not sure but i think it is sometimes not possible to win after some guesses.

Really great idea. Doesn't fit into the theme too well, but I really like these merges of classic games if it works out. And it did in this case.

Omg, the graphics. They are perfect.

Great concept, and nice execution! The matching and detective mechanics fit together very well.

This is clever. I felt dumb because I beat easy mode without realizing you could shift the lines VERTICALLY. That made hard mode much more reasonable.

Cool concept! Nice puzzle, I like how you have to be aware of the unintended combinations when sliding pieces. Not a fan of the music. Anyway good job!

The only thing I really didn't like about the game was the music which was hitting my misophonia a little hard. However, it was an overall good take on the "Mastermind" board game.

Really like this one, nice Victorian-ish style. Original take on match-3, where you DON'T want to make too many random chains. .........argh, I just read the comments and didn't realise you could move vertically either. oh well, still beat hard mode, haha!

Very good game. As people mentioned, sometimes we guess the correct solution but must create random combinations to clear the board while praying to get the right parts before running out of tries. Except that random part, I really love the game.

I enjoyed. Good game.

Had fun here. I liked when the music theme starts when making the first combination even if the music theme stay a bit poor in time.

Very nice jam game. With a little retheming I could see this working well as an educational but fun game for kids on touchscreen devices.

Wow, great, i thought of something like that but couldn't make it fun and interesting, but this is a great idea you have there and it plays really well.
Beautiful images, nice one!!!

This hit the right spot as I'm currently reading through a Sherlock Holmes novel. Brilliant idea. Top notch execution. I liked it a lot. Beat it twice on easy and once on hard.

Good fun and a good use of the theme.

Graphics and sound seemed both consistent and polished.

I think she needs meds if that is what she thinks her thief looks like. I found it to not be very fun, but the game plays well.
