Unfortunately Adventure Game Studio only compiles to Windows.  I think I could get it to Linux, but the OS\/X ports don't work with the updated OS.  Something with Allegro 3 incompatibility (what AGS is built on).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wish I could do something other than Windows only, but not possible.

You weren't supposed to be able to fry Leo until after you had proof but I turned on the guilty flag to quickly  test the summoning circle code and I forgot to turn it off before submitting!  Good catch!  I've fixed it and will upload the replacement this evening. Thanks for playing! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@emptyrealhell. The bed puzzle is actually useless in the game currently up tthere because you need to solve it to prove Leo is guilty. However since I forgot to reset the Leo guilty flag the game just assumes he is guilty without the puzzle being solved. The latest version will fix this. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is a great reason to not do all your testing and submitting late at night because you miss little things like this. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for all the kind comments and suggestions everyone!"},{"author_name":"spotco","author_uid":"35477","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 5:02am","epoch":1440737820,"text":"very well written!"},{"author_name":"merzlot","author_uid":"40559","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 9:19am","epoch":1440753240,"text":"If you want something done right, do it yourself\r<br\/> &mdash; Dr. Destructo"},{"author_name":"NoWandStudios","author_uid":"50652","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 10:08am","epoch":1440756180,"text":"I love monster style and I laughed reading the mind at minions xD.

It is a complete games with a variety of puzzles (the hardest one has the option of just skipping it if you are feeling lame), 5 minions to investigate, and annoying sounds.\r\n\r\nThis game was made with Adventure Game Studio, so unfortunately is only available for Windows.  Sorry OSX and Linux users!\r\n\r\nGameplay is easy.  Right click to cycle through actions (walk, talk, interact, read mind, destroy, etc.).  Press escape to bring up the menu.  When you are done talk to Dr Destructo to get your score.  The highest possible score is 5.\r\n\r\nEverything was created within the jam timeframe.
