This is a really polished game and I'd like to see where it goes in the future. I liked having to choose words that keep up the news company's reputation and avoiding already used words felt like a natural difficulty curve. The only things I would consider adding are more word options and consequences of your titles (eg. after every few newspapers, the titles you sent can be seen on some newspapers that come up on the screen). Other than that, this is a great game!

I had a lot of fun with this one. Just wish there were more words to play with, or maybe less actually. Something to shake things up because, as fun as it was, it was a bit easy in my opinion, and it got repetitive. But I understand it was due to time constraints. With a little more polish, I can definitely see myself spending hours trying to come up with the perfect combination of words. Great job.

Great game! But I wonder how did you scipt it to know when it is right and when not to put a world?

This was pretty fun! The incidents were quite amusing and it was a blast trying to figure out what combination of words would work for different headlines. I think what would make this better maybe is if the list of words would rotate rather than just having the same set every time, but I also think the idea of avoiding reusing words also adds a fun challenge to the game. Good job!

This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen so far.

The concept is really interesting and incredibly well executed. Also, and I don't know if it was done on purpouse, this game reminds me a lot of another JuniperDev game, The Simpler Times, wich has a similar mechanic.

The only thing I can "complain" about is maybe the theme is a bit ambiguous and not really spin-related, but that's just my opinion. Also it'd be cool if you could somehow see your headlines inside the newspaper or something like that or (as I've seen someone suggest before me) some sort of reaction so you can visually see how good you headline was.

Overall, a super cool game, great music and sound effects, really polished and so fun to play (also I loved the Spiderman references), one of the best ones I've seen.

Edit: Oh, and btw I didn't think of it, but about the theme, it really matches the secondary theme, seriousness.

Newspapers are probably the most serious thing in this world. (Even more if you boss is J. Jonah Jameson...)

Great idea for a game, my wife and I had fun coming up with headlines together to match the story. Would be cool if it showed you all your headlines at the end, maybe with some sort of reaction to the headline from the public? Idea for if you had more time than just a week perhaps.  Visuals and sound effects were great and fitted in with the game setting.

What a s(erious)illy game! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the jokes and was pleasantly surprised when a word I chose that I assumed had nothing to do with the headline was super relevant lol! I wish I realized sooner that you can hear what Mr. Bohn Bonah Bameson Bunior thinks of the original headline because he had some very funny anecdotes. I must ask, did you write all of these headlines yourself? They were very creative and gave me some good giggles! Anyways, I shall take my 193 score and become a professional spinner. B)

The game was great ! The artstyle really caught my eye and I was very intrigued with the idea. However, at some point I just started guessing because stuff that made sense to me didn't make sense to the game  :/ or maybe I misunderstood. Still, I had a lot of fun and took my job veryyy seriously at the start of the game haha 

That's an incredibly clever title for your game :P

You really nail that newsroom style, and the Spider-Man references and JJ's animations are awesome! I had a lot of fun tinkering with the titles... the mechanics are implemented really well, and it's just a great game!

I love the J. Jonah Jameson parody! The game's a lot of fun and it's cool that we thought of the same theme but implemented it really differently!

This is a great take on spin! The most unique i've played for sure. Visually it looks spot on. Audio was great, the typewriter sounds were very fitting, the music is a long enough loop that you don't quickly get bored of it, but since I took a long time trying to figure out what words to put together, eventually the bg music DID get a little much of the same jingle. Personally I think a little quietness included in the loop can go a long way to not wear out a player audibly.

In terms of enjoyment, while I loved the spin (hah) and the core game play, it wasn't easy to figure out what good words to put together with such a limited choice. Sometimes I thought of titles but the word options just weren't there which meant I had to read every word every time to figure out what I could possibly do. Now taking into considering this is a game jam game, I can very much understand that's not easy to finetune in 7 days all the word options, connections, and scoring.. at least I assume that was not a simple task. An idea would be to have a smaller world library per round so that there is less reading every round, or a bigger shared library of words so it's easier on the player--then again wanting there to be a certain difficulty is definitely a fair choice to make.

Good game, my brain is now tired. 

Took a while to understand where the "spin" aspect was lol. This is fun! I think the amount and choice of words were great. Would've loved "levels" or "tiers" to reach after certain points to add to the sense of progression. Other than that, no notes! Lovely art, audio, and feel

Lovely way of going about the theme! I wish that DAMN Menace showed its face but oh well, can't win them all. Jokes aside, I would have liked to know a little more precisely how each word was chosen as relevant or not and how they impacted the score. Maybe a future update where you can purchase new words to use and clear the debuff off of others would add for a bit more replayability.

Interesting entry!!

Enjoyment: 3/5

The main idea is very cool, but trying to understand what words to use in what situation kind of gave me an headache, I couldn't really manage to get that high of a score, but it was interesting nonetheless.

Creativity and Theme: 5/5

Very creative use of the theme and I love the overall vibe the game goes for! :D Reminds me a lot of Job Job from The Jackbox Party games, except it's serious instead of silly.

Visuals: 4/5

Visuals look pretty nice, I just wish there was a little bit more going on, maybe give the guy speaking some more sprite variations? Still very good!

Audio: 5/5

The audio works well, I have no complaints.

Seriousness: 5/5

Indeed very serious. 

FINAL RATING: 4/5

The idea is very cool and unique, I just wish i could've understood which words to use in which situations a bit more lmao. But I liked this entry's charm overall! :D

This was really fun to play - the mechanic of piecing together different headlines from choice words, having to strategically choose what words to use and where in case they came up again later, it was genuinely really fun.

The interactions felt snappy and clean, and the game felt really well polished. A cool little word puzzle game under the hood, skinned and presented with a rather hilarious theme. Before I realized it, I'd gotten to the end, and I still wanted another headline to spin.

Now I need to go take some photos of that Menace.

Awesome game and really unique concept! I was hooked because I wanted to see the next silly headline, and all of them were hilarious. The UI design is also intuitive and responsive. Excellent job on this!
