This game is so awesome!
Awesome game. Nice transition between articles. Reminds of the Daily Prophet!
This is
one ofthe best games I have playedso far. I lovethe music,it'sinsane, you created it in 48h!This game was superb and I am
in no wayjealous that I didn't come up with it. My favourite so far!Damn, this game was amazing! Really fun and twisted to play.
I'm a big fan of Dadaism. The design of the paper was right in the bull's eye for me.
LOVE!
I really liked this game, it's a great concept, congrats !
Very cool idea with a great art style! I like that there's a couple different ways you can censor the text to mean different things!
Nice idea! Cool art and execution! Check our game too!
Very interesting idea, really good art style, the writing is good with unique music that fits the game theme really well!
Great job!
This game is truly remarkable! The often surrealist collages on the lightbrownnewspaper create a wonderful visual aesthetic thatgoeshand-in-handwith the spectacular background music. Of course, this game's true strength lies within the near-flawless execution of itsabsolutely bonkerspremise. Seriously, you could not imagine how hard I laughedafterseeing just how absurd these headlines were capable ofbeingwhile still remaining valid. The subheadings are what really do it for me, turning headlines that might otherwise soundforced intofully-realized, gloriously nonsensical situations,makingthis one of the funniestgamesI've ever played in the process. Not every interpretation could be transformed into an actual headline though,forobvious reasons. However, even when the illustrator couldn't reasonably interpret my gibberish titles, seeinghisutter confusion in the form of a ransom note was still very amusing.In short, this game is in a league of itsown,and I have no doubt in my mind that it will be selected as one of the winners for thisgame jam.I genuinely hope to seemore,considering the fact that this game already excelsatso much!10/10LMAO thank you for your praise and also the funny and creative comment hahaha
the best comment <3
Very funny orwellian idea, loved it.
Really like the presentation, scrolling across the newspaper really sells it. I always knew the birds were bad!
Very funny and enjoyoable game with amazing execution! I hope to see more these kind of things during jams. English language literacy is required, so this limits the potential amount of players.
i was immediately immersed in the atmosphere, the itch io page itself adds so much too!
im abit sad that the game didnt recognize some of my funy titles :(
maybe you can use ai? :o
then this game will be so cool, im already imagining a improved version and wanting to play it :D
Perfection!
oh wow this is incredible. the visuals are absolutely stellar... fonts, cutouts, all of that, it's so so good and fitting. really simple gameplay, but the way you managed to create 3 different ways to finish the game with just 4 headlines shows how much you can twist out of this simplicity. the writing is fun and ranges from absurd to concerning. a high quality game in all respects.
my only problem was that at first for some reason i thought i was only allowed to censor two words per headline, which as you can imagine gave me some trouble :P but that's most likely just a me problem
Wonderful game. Really funny and enjoyed the music a lot. Some of the titles gave me hard time :D
Interesting concept! Mouse cursor a bit laggy for me but I was able to go to the end. Music is insane x)
Very noice game
Although a game where you rarely get a different out come than ???? still a really great game!
there should be around 5 outcomes other than ??? for each title, we have included a walkthrough on the itch page description if you wanna get some hints :)
