Detective Gumball: Murder Mystery
Play as Detective Gumball, the world's greatest homicide detective, and solve the murder of a wealthy socialite. The suspects are full of secrets, but none so much as the victim himself.
This game was made for the February 2018 Bitsy Jam: oh no.
This game was made as an exploration of the possibilities of Bitsy, a browser based game creation tool developed by Adam Le Doux.
Music credits: Clock Tower on the SNES - "Don't Cry Jennifer Theme"
Character portraits implemented using ruin's "Image to Bitsy" tool.

This is absolutely amazing! From the music to the graphics to the humor, this is A+!
I love the highly scientific approach of this investigation ;)
I'm just binging on your bitsy games and having a blast! I'm quite partial to whodunnit games in particular so I thought I'd leave a comment on this little gem :)
Lovely stuff, hope to see many more
In my opinion this game would have been a great fit for the No Shit Sherlock Jam as well, because it was super satisfying to see a detective game with sooo many different outcome possibilities! The running gag with Sgt. Derringer also made me chuckle. :) You have an interesting way of making games and I hope to see more stuff like that from you! Developers make the Bitsy engine and games really interesting for me. That's also why I recommended this lovely game in one of our compilation articles about the oh no (bitsy jam), along with two other interesting games. It's also featured in a related showcase video. :)
Best wishes,
