Very nice art and music ! gave a bit of a papers please vibe
I feel like maybe the theme wasn't central to the gameplay perhaps ?
But really enjoyable , loved the humor in the writing
Very nice puzzle game, I liked the mechanics and the humorous headlines between each level.
UX wise I would love it if when you're placing a prisoner block on top of another already placed prisoner block, rather than blocking you with a buzzer sound, it would swap the two pieces (so the piece you are holding is now in the jail, and the piece that was in the jail is now in your hand)
The music... I know that from somewhere, but where? It's not gillbert & sullivan... oh, this is going to bug me.
Hello :) Nice game. It sure got a bit hard toward the end, maybe some hitns could have helped me :) I also was a bit frustrated that I couldn't directly replace a puzzle piece in the grid by simply placing another one, that could have add some confort :)
Very nice twist of Tangram. What crimes did all these tadpoles commit to be put even in the same prison as the rest of those hardened criminals?
I've talked about Paper, please
That was super fun, nice job. Music / sfx was great. Last puzzle took a little bit to get. The little knives/shanks were my favorite part.
Very solid puzzle game! Loved the dialogue from the police chief too, and the newspaper headlines. Very well done, the last puzzle was pretty tough
Pretty neat puzzles! It was nice to finish them all! Really reminded me some old puzzles from 90s, ah nostalgia :D
I love me a good puzzle game! Really great job, I can totally imagine adding even more rules and obstacles to this...keep up the great work!
Very cool, a little confused how to "keep the tadpoles away from the frogs", I figured something to do with whether the cell was closed off but not sure
I laughed at the knife tadpoles a lot more than I should have! Hahahaha! On the last level I let a poor tadpole escape and I was called lazy u_u but I couldn't solve it! Great game, super fun to play! Congrats!
the last puzzle got the brain beans jumping. i thought it was hilarious that the tadpoles gained a shiv graphic when they were celled up with the frog
Nice puzzle. It was a bit difficult to figure out but each one had a distinct piece that when identified could lead you down the right path. Cute game
great puzzle game, I love the dialog and the story in general!
Really interesting puzzle game! I like how the newspaper comments when you mess a level up! Also really liked the background music, it really added to the overall atmosphere! Great submission!
I loved the concept of a two-layer puzzle (1 - fit all pieces in the board; 2 - make sure all tadpoles and frogs are separated). I think allowing the player to "complete" a level however they want (either by solving one of the two layers of the puzzle or just skipping completely) shows very clever game design: a puzzle game that can be as challenging as the player wishes. I also liked the narrative and how the newspaper calls you lazy if you skip a level hahaha
Congrats, amazing game overall! And more levels please! :D
Loved this game. The puzzles were really well designed, each one after the first couple took me at least a few minutes and gave me that "a-ha" moment that is great in a puzzle game. Unique gimmick mechanic that I could definitely see expanded. Also, I love the interpretation of the theme and the sense of humor. Excellent job!
Awesome game! The puzzles were difficult, but impressive. And the overall aesthetic was wonderful. I thought the tie-in to the theme was a *little* thin, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this one quite a bit :D

It was a bit hard, but the idea with the newspaper, the jail, and the combinations needed to keep the inmates from killing each other was really interesting. Quite innovative, maybe... and definitely challenging! Good job!
