I really enjoyed it. I got thrown out of a window. Thought this was very creative, especially with the endings news story's.

A fun little idea, though I wish there was more to it! You clearly put a lot of time into the story/presentation and it pays off.

Quite a creative take on the theme, I like the animations and the effort you put into making the scene look like a real TV event!

I got 2 endings but didn't really feel like playing a 6th time to see more, maybe if the performance of the divers was more random it'd make it more appealing.

Very interesting concept regardless :-)

The concept of the game is great, and the way the ending of the game is presented in a news format is interesting! I expected to see more of the ending but the diving animation lost interest after I saw it a few times.

The concept is really intriguing and funny!
I am impressed by how you interpret the theme, very out of the box thinking. The audio was carefully implemented and the game loop is satisfying even if you lose. Getting the results from the newspaper was pretty cool.

Zabovia 4 the win!

I love the story in this game

Fun mini game, had a blast getting different endings and the "news stories" cracked me up. Well done!

Glory to Zabovia!

It's a fun game ! I loved how the pressure was built when suddenly it was my turn to vote first, with the spotlight and everything stopping and waiting for my input. (I went to jail, 10/10 would play again)

Haha this game ticks the right boxes! That final dive though hahahaha. The only challenge I see here is how to make this into a complete game that'll be engaging and fun to play for 10-12 hours. :) But that's thinking too far ahead. Great job!

Fun idea, a bit sad that it is that short, but being able to see different endings in pretty nice !

Nice music and great replay value to get all the different endings!

Nice use of the theme!

This is really well done! At the beginning I thought it was pretty cheap because it felt easy enough to please the judges, but the Zabovian dive, and the spotlight really got me!

Really interesting concept. I like that we both went with being a sports judge but went in completely different directions. I love that you tied it in to the Papers Please universe.

I'm a bit confused by what's the strategy here though, it seems like the results of the dives are always the same (or at least three times in a row when I played) - Liberia scores low, US scores high, and Zabovia slips and falls and presumably scores zero. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do in this situation to win the game.

Loved it! Very interesting idea and the pacing and animations make it wonderfully dramatic. Very solid game overall.

Very creative take on the theme! I found it a bit hard to know what to judge, but it was fun seeing the outcomes of getting caught by either side!

A fun little experience. The art and audio has a nice charm to it, and the storyline is short and sweet. Very creative!

Thank you!

The ending to this was absolutely hilarious!

Short simple, and engaging the whole way through xD

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Utterly creative and a really dark humour take on what actually happens at these sporting events. One of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen! I kept getting pushed out of windows 😅

Defenestration? In Zabovia? Please.

Liked idea, cool game!
