Unnamed detective game needs coder Thread

Hello fine sirs.

Got some ideas for simple side-scrolling detective video game demo project - 3-4 small screens, 4 characters including the protagonist.
I'm not a programmer so I want to find coder to team up. Gonna make all art except sounds(I'll find some free for demo). You can choose
any engine you want and experienced with. Simple is better. Great if you have some XP with side-scrolling kind of games.
Multi platform? Would be nice!
limitations on colors? I want some!
Multilayered backgrounds.
Sprite based animations.
Great if engine can be able to handle some physics(2d).
Sketch of first screen.
(gonna replace it with actual art later)

PM me if you interested.
