What a gem! I am obsessed with the illustrations for the different articles/pieces. You can see that a lot of love and creativity went into this. It's just too precious and the little animal characters are full of personality. Just a joyful game. One of my favorite games of this jam! (the scoring component is very addictive)

You run a News Loop in a small village, where what you publish strongly influences the locals, which in turn loops back into the next day's news!

SCALE & TAIL - GMTK 2025This is an amazing game 25/25 and a really creative take on the Loop theme! The fact that the stories have an impact makes for some chill, but not so-chill decisions in wanting to have a near perfect arrangement of stories and the content of the stories.
Your game is going to be such a big hit for Twitch streaming.
Also the point calculation was super polished, love it!
(It would be really nice if you can drop by and checkout my team's entry for the jam here)
I loved it! But when I reached level 5 it would not let me add any pictures to the newspaper :( So I couldnt finish it

SmokescreenGreat job! The game feels good to play and the artwork is very well-made. My final score is 924, but it could probably be improved a lot.
It would be cool if you could also manage your team of editors, form relationships with them and send them out on missions. Filling out the grid feels nice but gets repetitive after a while.
Also, where to subscribe to Giraffe Maker Tool Kit? 😁

Loop WorldwideWow I've only managed to get in the 800's so far myself!
Definitely! We had a number of ideas we had to cut, including scoring systems, but we had really wanted to have some more interactions with the town. One idea was to have rumours/ anonymous tips that you had to discern whether they might be accurate or not!
This was adorable! Extremely polished and engaging. I love how there are different types of stories that play out and you can choose to go for negativity or positivity (I did two runs hehe). We also went with an "in the loop" theme but it's incredible how differently y'all interpreted it!
