Super cozy, and impressively polished! Love seeing the little stories evolve.
Cool puzzle game. The narrative says I can choose? But it seems I have to organize everything in order to fit, so i guess I have to publish everything? Anyway, cool idea.
would love it if you could try and rate my game. thanks
Adorable art style, also love the scoring accelerates if it goes on for too long.
The only thing I wish it had was a reveiew from The Boss(tm) at the end based on your score and how positive you were.
Amazing art style! Fits with the cozy vibes of the game! Liked how you had to balance between negative and positive stories to get a higher score. In the end, I managed to get 590 total sales.
I loved this game! It definitely has very cozy vibes, and all the news stories are so cute!.
Loved it! Absolutely stunning artwork!!! Just wished there was more of a difficulty spike
A gem if anything, puzzling delights mixed with a compelling narrative, an art style and 90 pieces of unique designs, this is a masterpiece.
Love everything about this, the puzzle gameplay, the art, the little stories! One of the top games I played this jam so far, and definitely one I will continue playing and I’d like to see fleshed out more after the jam!
cute little game, lots of fun cute pictures and cool things to read constantly
I played this quite a long time. Looks super good, it feels super good, and the idea is very nice and well implemented. What really stood out to me however is how easily you teach the player the mechanics. The main mechanics is super obvious, that's one thing, but the way you tally the score makes it immediately clear that full rows and columns give extra points. I love that. On day 4 I ran into a weird bug where none of the articles would go on the paper, but I really enjoyed it until then. Very nice job!
636 sales! Really fun, all the art is really cute! I also loves the ongoing stories of each of the small thing, the frog writing the books, the missing dog that got found and lost. it's so fun
love your take on the theme, incredible art as well, and the game is pretty fun!
Really good job, Art and Audio are great, and the gameplay reminds me of a more lighthearted version of Headliner, I ended up with 903
