Oh dang I must have played this about 10 minutes too long to get it in before the ratings deadline
That was chaotic and weird, I had no idea what I was doing but I was having fun the whole time.
Very good stuff!
Really loved the visuals of the game and a great implementation of the theme! J Jonah Juniper was hella cute lol! Overall, a great entry. Congrats, guys!!
Very creative idea and super pretty game! It was VERY overwhelming at first, because I accidentally cut out the instructions, and then while I was thinking of what I was supposed to do more articles instantly jumped in on the side and I just kept cutting out more and more words haha. My screen quickly became cluttered (Its my fault but still) and it would have been very nice with a way to discard words, like a trashcan? Maybe there was but I missed it. But overall, super nice game with nice visuals and very funky music. I always enjoy the types of games that allows the player to be creative and create funny sentences. Here are a couple I made!
"google releases their newest ai model: RAM fire"
"Obama has rizz" B)
Very serious. Felt like I had a job and it was kinda scary.
Hard to figure out the mechanics, but the visuals and the audio is immaculate.
As expected from the mod team, this was a very polished and good looking experience. It took me a bit of time to understand exactly what I needed to do and how the scoring works. But once I did, it became really fun, and I had a great time. This is a really creative take on the theme of the jam.
I love the visuals and audio in this, and getting to make silly sentences! Like another commenter I did end up wishing for some more space to put the words I was saving, I collected quite a ridiculous amount eventually. Great job!
Art? Excellent. Theme? Excellent. Implementation? Also excellent. I've been looking for a game inspired by "spinning the narrative" that actually makes use of that premise, and this nailed it! I loved that I could just collect a variety of words and then mash them up to make whatever I wanted, but there was still a score I could aim for if I wanted. This was super polished too.
Spin Doctor theme is good in my book :) congrats on the implementation.
Loved the art and all the little bits of polish. Super fun take on the theme. My only two notes are:
I wish there was a visible timer, or some sort of indication for when times about to run out
I wish there was an endpoint, I feel like I'd be more motivated to keep playing if I knew I had a limited number of headlines to try and make the highest score
there is a visible timer, it’s a little colored pie slice in the top left corner that slowly ticks down!
What an interesting take! Probably the most creative game I've encountered in this jam so far!
Very fun game!
Love the idea.
I wish I understood how scoring works.
sooooooooooo polished. i have never been more glad to have yall as server mods and event managers. to put in so much work throughout the jam, helping others AND making a game as sick as this?! (,: wow
We wouldn't have it any other way <3
This is so cool! I really enjoyed the idea of stitching together new sentences, but i felt like my screen got cluttered with so many words, I was having a hard time go through them all, especially with no full screen option (although maybe that's part of the challenge?). Also I couldn't tell if I pressed the send it button by mistake, but at one point while I was still going through and changing words, the paper got sent automatically, which annoyed me. The visuals and audio are spot on, I especially liked the interactable desk! Very solid entry, 10/10!
Oooo thanks for the feedback! Fullscreen is definitely something we should've thought about... oops!
was fun and funny! great art and really unique take on the theme !!
This is a really good game, and a nice take on the theme! It's a little hard to tell for what the categories are looking for in the headlines, but I am sure I would get it with more time playing it, but I liked the goofy making of the headlines, and the extra papers giving you more words to work with, and saving words from the previous ones. Awesome submission!
Great game, and amazing for only a week. Loved spinning the stories!
This was a really cool concept and it feels very polished for only a week
my only feedback is that there should be a way to delete words so they don't end up covering the entire screen and the game seemed to be endless but I wish there was an end screen where you can see your final score and all the headlines you made
Super creative! I really love the concept, and I can imagine your imagination running wild.
hmmm I think we need an explanation from flora
honestly? I'm not used to not having a clear objective so it took me a second but I found the fun in just making the most absurd headlines from the 234 cutouts I was hoarding all over the screen lol the art's amazing all around, the music's a banger, and the sound effects are pretty satisfying, a very solid game all around!
