This time, follow Waffles in his first days as a Inspector and prove to everyone that you are more than just a rookie. Find clues, report to your partner and solve cases!

  • Top-down adventure game with point-and-click mechanics, inspired by the classic Gameboy games!
  • Works on Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance!
  • Easter eggs, mysteries, old characters from the previous Inspector Waffles game!

Demo is already available, I'm planning a Q3 2024 full release.

Stay tuned! :)

This game is AWESOME!  I have had a blast solving the first three cases and love all the cat  and dog puns as you can see in my gameplay:

Thank you for all of the time, energy, and love you put into this game Goloso Games!  I'll get my notepad ready to solve the rest of the cases and find out what else is going on in Cat Town.

oh man, I LOVE this game. The little wiggling cat tails, the humor (I maybe played a game all night too), please keep going on this.

Heyhey, i got the physical game but wanted to know if i can buy the rom aswell?

Hi!

If you backed the physical game, you will receive a digital key for free :)

We are working on it right now with Broke Studio, you should get an email in a week.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you very much for doing a video of my game :)  Glad you like it too!

I already commented the same thing on your blog but can't stop myself from triggering the algorythm some more.
I can't see what kind of players would not like this game, it has intruiging elements from various genres, set in a classy style and ofc we are featuring cats here - cmon. Try it, comment it and rate it - I cant believe I havent seen this on the front page :O

(+1)

Thank you :)

Hope itch will add it on the front page someday, crossing fingers! :)

Nice game, but I couldn't discover the secret thing. I know it has something with the abandoned parcel near police station.

You have to go to police station and ask a person to go to alarm store, so you can get the parcel tag. However, I can't put the tag in the parcel.


Thanks anyway, and waiting for the complete game.

Thanks for playing! :)

If I can give you a hint, you should check the clients' list in the alarm store, there is one line that explains the secret thing's first step.  You have the next steps right. I know it isn't easy but it's on purpose :)
