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

Hi and thanks for your review! As far as I know, for many of the levels it's not really possible to fit every available article in your paper, which makes it possible to choose to include either negative or positive news :)

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.

A gem if anything, puzzling delights mixed with a compelling narrative, an art style and 90 pieces of unique designs, this is a masterpiece.

Such a neat idea and very different from most of the games made! I really like the art and it's a pretty neat concept! Thanks for the game! :)

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

Really great artwork and love the way the stories build on each other, feels really thought out. Well written!

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

WOW 903 is crazy! Thanks so much for playing & for the kind words <3
