Interesting concept. I'd like to see it fleshed out into something more robust. But in this prototype, the execution was not there. It felt more like a puzzle of "find the two headlines that can fit together" rather than letting me express any real creativity.
Also, the controls were rough. The buttons were hard to click and drag/drop was inconsistent (which made me unsure if I wasn't allowed to combine certain headlines).
Awesome! Very fun concept. Best game from the jam I've played so far.
I wish there was a bit more visual feedback when the controls changed. I also wonder if it would have worked better if the controls changed every X moves, rather than every X seconds. Or maybe if you had a countdown flashing on screen telling you exactly when the controls are going to change. As is, it felt a bit "unfair" when controls changed just as I was pressing a button to move.
Also, a bit of a gentler start would have been nice. Changing controls and dodging traps is challenging enough without the bottom of the screen coming up to swallow you, at least until you've had a chance to practice some first.
Thanks for giving Need 4 Meat a try and apologies for any issues you're experiencing. The truth is that there is no downloadable build for N4M--it is meant to be played in browser. This is also the first we're hearing of any major performance issues. Have you tried checking the strength of your network connection? Additionally, have you tried playing the game on the itch.io app? From what we understand, the app allows you to install browser games. Might clear up any issues you are having.
