Play as a detective and solve one of the most difficult cases. But be careful, some tasks won't go as smoothly as you might expect.

I never knew I needed an office pinball game :D

This is just utterly wonderful. Great job with the visuals and atmosphere!

Had to give up on the stamp money after the cash fortified itself behind some chairs and a table.

Nice idea! The concept is really cool! It's fun but I never get all the money needed because of the furnitures behind. This is the consequence of the concept and level design, all object will end on top of the room. But it's always fun to get a mess in a room. gg!

That was fun! I don't know why, but I laughed so much. I could really imagine this Detective moving around and kicking everything in frustration.

Same issue with the money. I've never managed to collect them all.

Nice idea. Ball stuck in the furniture sometimes. But graphics are amazing!

Yes, I figured that it could get pretty hard to collect all the money or write the entire letter. But I guess the fun part of the game is not to complete all quests, but to create as much chaos as possible. However I've implemented a small reward for the players who like to hit their heads continously against furniture and walls and finish the game.

Definite goal: Make room perfectly clean... just kidding, trashed it first time, and second time, and... Funny and cool entry. Congratulations on making it!

The opening moment and the typewriter part really made me laugh! This is such a great idea. One of the most memorable entries I've played. Great job!

Thoroughly enjoyed going in blind. What a cool mashup! I maybe would've liked some indication of what I had to hit for various tasks, but I suppose fumbling about could also be seen as part of the fun. I really enjoyed this entry, and could definitely see myself playing a series of short games about doing mundane tasks with this twist. Great job!

Very funny twist, I was definitely expecting some kind of first person game!

Really great art and music. The idea is fantastic but sometimes things would get in the way of what I needed to hit and it was basically impossible to reach the object. Really great sound effects. Thoroughly enjoyed the game.

It's kinda frustrating to complete the objectives due to the somewhat random nature of pinball, but props to you for innovation.

Haha, that was very fun, love the idea. My girlfriend got hooked and got to the end, even though it's quite frustrating!
