J'Accuse! by bobotast
Your Tim Tams have been stolen, but you haven't a clue who dunnit! Everyone else can give you a clue, but a few disreputable individuals aren't telling the truth. When you think you know who it was, accuse them! And bask in sweet, sweet justice. J'accuse!
Made for Ludum Dare 45 -- theme: "start with nothing"
This is my first submission for Ludum Dare, and my first game made on Pico-8

one problem I had was the 100% reliance on color (I have a red-green color deficiency - various color blindness-es account for 8% of men, 4.5% of people world wide), something to consider for a color matching game.
This game is just ridiculous fun. Frantically running around the black square and listening to people randomly shouting what the perpetrator was wearing. A tooltip for the accuse button could have been nice, but the game is brilliant the way it is right now.
One of my favorite entries so far!
So if two or more people give the same detail, it's probably right. But there is a (small) possibility, that two or more liars will happen to give the same (incorrect) detail.
It would have been awesome to have a little background music to add to the tension but otherwise this is a solid little game, nice work! :thumbsup:
I just walked around and tried to find common clues, then accused the first person who claimed the opposite xD
Edit: You even randomized it each time! *highfive
Interesting take on the theme. The walk animation is nuts, i love it!
People with difficulties telling colors apart will have a problem, i would say.
And it's always good too see other people using PICO-8 for this!
