love this game! the dynamic music is really good, the concept is really creative, all of the headlines have multiple funny and different solutions, and the collage style is extremely cool. usually i like to give at least one piece of critique in my reviews, so i'll say it was a little tedious to restart the game after making one of the wrong headlines for an ending and i wish you could go back and change individual headlines instead, but this game is pretty much perfect as is :)

Avoid TetrisThis game is great!
I think with more work to flesh out more possible redactions it could be even better. Right now there are times where something logically makes sense reading it but the game marks it as not making sense

Tower RevengeSuch a fun game and a creative take on the theme! Definitely enjoyed cutting the bird's population in half, and then blaming the geese lol. Great art, great music, great game; top marks.

The Phantom's TouchThe English language lays battered and bruised on the floor. The sheer abuse it must have been wrung through to create this masterpiece is indescribable.

SneakerdoodleGreat experience and executed so profesionally!
Had to use walkthrough to get all the endings, and the game didn't count some of my headlines, a bit hard to get all the endings on your own though :)
The artwork is a masterpiece!

HUMAN INVADERSGlad you enjoyed it! You can find the walkthrough here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-MIf6Sa7991N99oiaiapm25D6nP2ZAFtVYb0JiUWQ_0/edit?usp=sharing
Best game I have played! It's very fresh and new, I love the quirky writing and the different ending. The part where I have to censor words which changes the entire meaning behind the headline, insane. Really love it and keep up the good work! Really enjoyed this with my friends.
CREATIVITY IS THROUGH THE ROOF!!!

EB-87Very cool visuals and sound. Some phrases that make sense for me don't seem to trigger any image, maybe give a bit of feedback whether something is working or not
