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.

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!

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

FloatingGhost18 Apr 2016, 13:10

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

love it, and its built on Phaser too! nice :)

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

Very good! Congratulations.

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

Adipson18 Apr 2016, 17:30

very fun ! bravo !

This was a neat idea, good job!

Cowa18 Apr 2016, 18:28

Love this art. And very funny!

Danman991418 Apr 2016, 18:31

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

hijomo18 Apr 2016, 18:34

nice puzzle game. the shifting was an interesting twist.

mrnannings18 Apr 2016, 19:28

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

BoltKey18 Apr 2016, 19:38

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.

tayl1r18 Apr 2016, 23:42

dang, i think i lost even tho i guessed right because other suspects took priority. oh well, neat game! nice graphics and idea.

Ithildin19 Apr 2016, 02:33

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

GAFBlizzard19 Apr 2016, 08:01

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.

APantaloni19 Apr 2016, 18:18

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!

MurderPunch19 Apr 2016, 18:30

Awesome game! Had a blast playing this with my fiancee.

RafaSKB20 Apr 2016, 00:51

Simple and fun! =)

GrimGary20 Apr 2016, 02:02

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.

medidog20 Apr 2016, 02:19

Nice puzzle game

kestrelgames20 Apr 2016, 03:17

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!

Strike20 Apr 2016, 07:07

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.

Kazetsukai20 Apr 2016, 08:05

I enjoyed. Good game.

MatLab20 Apr 2016, 08:39

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.

fizzhog20 Apr 2016, 09:13

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.

bryGPO20 Apr 2016, 10:14

Love the art in this!

blob20 Apr 2016, 10:28

Pretty original idea!

Larzan20 Apr 2016, 13:02

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!!!

arhpositive20 Apr 2016, 13:26

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.

KairosXIII20 Apr 2016, 13:51

Nice take on the theme, love the pixel art style.

technovirusattack20 Apr 2016, 16:57

Game concept is so fun! And lovely graphics. Nice work!

DSSiege1120 Apr 2016, 19:40

So simple yet so great :D That's all I'm going to say, now I'm going to play it one more time ;)

TheMightyTeam20 Apr 2016, 19:56

Simple concept but difficult to master. Well done!

celia1421 Apr 2016, 00:26

The graphics are really stylish and the game is great - an innovative combination of simple, fun ideas.

DivineOmega21 Apr 2016, 13:36

Good fun and a good use of the theme.

Graphics and sound seemed both consistent and polished.

Pestel Crew21 Apr 2016, 15:02

Good idea, I liked it. I'd played in something like this on your phone. Cool prototype.

gurkenlabs25 Apr 2016, 18:52

I had much fun playing this, it reminded me of playing board games with my siblings :)

SecondDimension25 Apr 2016, 19:41

Really liked the concept and art style, nice entry.

Aaranos8 May 2016, 22:14

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.

dollarone9 May 2016, 02:14

Excellent idea! Music fits. Love the old lady :)

Only complaint is that hard mode was too easy: http://imgur.com/WKRA4XW ;)
