I find this to be a rather interesting game. I do have some criticisms, but I will offer suggestions as well.

1. I know someone else mentioned this, but it might be a good idea to have the ability to review the controls.

2.Stemming from #1: Is there a map? If there is, how to you access it?

3. I know some people, including myself, want a save feature. If checkpoints cannot be done, how about save points?

That's all I have for now. I admit I haven't completed this game, but what I have seen is good.

Do you really want suggestions for games? I have three ideas that might make good flash games.

Two are suited for side-scrolling gameplay, but they both have an unusual element of play to them. Doing them depends a lot on your programming skills.

The last one is suited to the over-the-top perspective featured in Deadly Investigations, but it has it's own difficulties.

The first is that the game would need to be quite large or come in seperate parts.

The second is to have talking and interrogation between characters like in old adventure games.

The third is the inclusion of multiple characters, though only one can be active at a time.

The fourth is that this game is based off a story I came up with and depends greatly on my input. The story relates greatly to the puzzles in the game, and would ask the players think differently than they normally would.

If you are interested in these ideas, please send me a note. If not, then that's okay.

At least I know you can make great games.

I saw your reply to one reviewer with a request for more info so you can improve, so here are some things i noticed. Let me know if they are useful.

---In the training level's briefing ONLY, it says you have to shoot 4 out of 8, but the game has you shoot 3 out of 6.

---Although I cannot truly verify it, I tried shooting the poker player when my gun suddenly jerked. While the sway of the weapon is realistic, the thing is, I pulled the trigger while the crosshairs were still on the target and the game registered it as a miss. This may or may not be the case with other areas, but I am not sure how to prove it is truly occuring. Otherwise, I would tell you straight out if it is a glitch.

---As others have mentioned, there are unexplained penalties to completing a mission successfully the first time.

---When re-trying to mission, was it an intentional design choice for the player to re-purchase ammo for failed attempts? I'm just trying to verify this.

Great game overall. I love this type of game and would love to see more games based on this gameplay style. I think of it more as a puzzle game than anything else---it is "tactical" assassin, after all. That's what makes this series so great. If only the video game Silent Scope had the puzzle feature. I would love that!
While the game is excellent, there are a few glitches that can cause some irritation. They are not enough to detract from the score.

And thanks for making the briefings a good read. I love stuff like that.

Well done.

This is my first review, but I hope you ind it useful.

This is a rather well-done piece of art. The interface is simple in concept, but that is a definite plus.

I think that while the changing of colors/form for many of the pieces of wardrobe may make things a bit difficult, I found it enjoyably surprising that there were more options than at first glance. While it is a bit annoying to have the items change shape/colors, I think that feature should be kept, but it should allow an option to freeze the selection of an item. It would be a shame to remove the change feature, but caution must be exerted to keep it from being cumbersome.

I think the choices here are wonderful. Excellent job on this piece.
