Absolutely love it.
That was honestly a very, very creative implementation—really awesome! I didn’t understand it at first, but after reading the game page—wow! Great idea and a really cool concept!
"Gun was potato and cat was bad." LOL this was a really cool concept
"Stinky fire prevents very tiny visits!"
Great job! Loved it.
coo, artstyle, loved the game
Feel free to check and rate my game :)
Very cool idea! Like it
Hahaha, this was actually pretty funny. Very original and well polished :)
I really loved the creativity of this game, it's super original! This game reminded me why I prefer remote work to office work though. By far. Twisting the theme to make it the name of a newspaper company making simple headlines? Genius. Probably my favorite twist of the theme in this game jam. Amazing job!
This is a unique take on the theme that I haven't seen so far. The obstacles move a bit slow, but I also like that they can be used to push the words as well. Great idea and nice execution
Things I like:
- Very unique concept and gameplay
- Overall visuals are great
Things that need improvements in my opinion:
- Lack of background music
- Pushing obstacles away seems to be an important part of the game, but the obstacles move way too slowly. Maybe would be better if there was a button to kick or push them away quicker
damn nice game :D what a masterful idea. and great execution. the physics feel good and fair, great job with the art also! 5/5!
Thank you!! Happy you enjoyed it :)
Damn I love the way you inteprented the theme and i like the graphics, the gameplay is good but its hard to get words around and idk if screen was meant to get stuck when i finish publsihing the article.
Thanks :) definitely just forgot to add a button to replay the game at the end though… oops
This is a brilliant interpretation of the theme
the dragging thing is interesting but slightly annoying since stuff gets stuck so easily. the idea is very novel and fun though
Rouge store creates badly fire!!!?
had fun playing (got 32782000 points)
The best part about this game is that you probably put in more effort in making a headline than most journalists put in their entire careers
