Thank you very much for the extremely constructive review! The screenshots of buggy walls that can be passed through are especially useful.

Not that I am a huge expert of RPG Maker, but testing my game (and several other drafts over the years) I've noticed that one of the most common errors (or better, "overlooks") in that department is when you place a "second layer" tile on top of an edge one.
For example, look at this image:
The left hill works as intended: you cannot "hop" on it, and in case you're on it, you cannot hop off.
The right hill, instead, has some bush tiles inside the hilltop edges. In this way, the bush passability (that is full 4 directions passability) override the edges one.
This makes events able to cross the edges no matter what.
(just to make my picture clearer:
RED = non passable
GREEN = passable
BLACK ARROWS = a 3 years old child attempt of underlining the fact that green means passable )
EDIT: this doesn't happens with bush tiles only, but with a LOT of tiles. IIRC it happened to me with flowers or small rocks (the ones in RTM tileset Exterior B).
Are there scripting API documentation documents anywhere for RPGMaker?
Very seldomly can people confirm eachother's alibis. The worst instance is when two people contradict eachother but there is no one to back them up. Both Hannah and Roger claimed to have been in the Butler room (but not with eachother). So, who's the killer? It seems to me just like a matter of luck. 50% chance of getting it right. I never encountered that in Sleuth (though I didn't play a whole lot of it).
This part of the critique isn't exactly fair. If you continue to ask Roger and Hannah, one of them will likely change their alibi, and that person will be the killer. Asking a suspect more than once when you're not sure is the key.
Hard to believe there's just a little over two weeks to go in this contest. Where IS everybody?
The controls bothered me a bit. Sometimes I found it hard to remember which button did what. I imagine playing this game with a gamepad (instead of a keyboard) would make the monster bashing a lot more enjoyable.
I haven't gotten to Brodzilla yet but unless it uses custom keypress code, you should be able to use a gamepad for it. Just press F1 to configure it.
I just mashed the attack button throughout the entire game without ever needing to use any real strategy.

Having played it, it indeed doesn't work. Standard functions like movement work with a gamepad but the battle system doesn't.I don't think it would work.

I'd really appreciate it if someone knew how to get through the dog part in The Edge of Darkness so I can write a proper critique for it.
You just follow the dog from screen to screen. Triggers a cutscene which gives you an item. Guess I can't promise it's not bugged but it worked fine in my last test through the game (and I didn't change anything with it after that so it should work fine).
That's what I'm doing, but in the screen I posted the game freezes. Most likely since there's a cutscene in which the player should move a certain number of tiles down but is unable to do so since an event is blocking the way.
Hmmm, never encountered that when I was testing it. I will check into it tonight and see if I fucked it up somewhere without realizing it.
I don't promise anything amazing, just a bunch of bundle leftovers.
If anyone wants to throw out some last minute reviews, feel free too. In Spain on a trip, something that came up after I started this, got to a hotel now but very tired. Will tally-up when I wake up to determine the placings for everyone prize-wise.
The game playing and voting category will start on August 9th, and finish on September 12th at 11:59 PM PST
OH RIGHT, Pft. Tired, was a long day. XD; I forgot off request of delayed deadline the voting deadline was also extended. Very helpful, I'll be settled somewhere for 5 days when that happens. Carry on~There's still three more days?

Nah, if was when I'm back, that's not until the 27th. Phone handling codes will be a bit of a challenge but I can do it!As far as I'm concerned, you could also just wait until you're back. You shouldn't lose precious holiday (or whatever) time for this contest!
Here's a video. Just showing what I have in the beginning, in case it has anything to do with progression or what order you do stuff in. Skip to 1:00 for dog chasing.
Just get it done in the next few hours, I'm starting up tallying but as I only have a phone on this trip it may take a small while.I need more time to review!
Basically yes, I'm on as off tallying on my phone, if someone submits a review before I'm done tallying (I'll post here when I am done), I wil count it.Today is September 13th. Does this mean the voting period's over?

This is a joke.
What is a joke? If you're referring to how long Dusk has taken just give him time. He's out of town after all.This is a joke.
This is a joke.
I put in a stop gap and am about to upload it if you want a fixed version (since i believe you can just copy/paste your save files), but, that might be too annoying or whatever I dunno. I am not sure what the easiest fix is other than just uploading the entire game again.
After all those delays, I got it all calculated and added a few last minute entries into the prize pool. I tallying up lead to these results:
01.) RivalQuest by zashga
02.) Recurrence by Tommy Gun
03.) Képzeletbeli Gyilkos by ChainsawKitten
04.) Brodzilla by Copons
05.) The Edge of Darkness by ZenaxPure
06.) The Age of Dusk by Noble Neckbeard
07.) GAFQuest by tensuke
08.) My Miserable Island Vacation by sld
09.) Murder Mystery Mansion by Tempy
10.) The Very Best by PsionBolt
11.) Delinquent's Journey by originalself

Yo welcome back Dusk! Hope you enjoyed wherever you went in Europe!
Congrats to everybody and of course a big up to zashga!
