Very clever concept, good narrative/gameplay cohesion. Juuuust difficult enough to be on the edge of frustrating. If you plan on refining it further after the jam, I suggest a more gradual difficulty curve, with shorter phrases at first that gradually get longer in later rounds. (If something like that is already implemented, I missed it!) Still, very interesting approach to what felt to me like a sorting puzzle. Well done!

Cheers! We uhm.. thought about starting diddly with shorter booty titles and/or gradually increasing uhm.. the amount of bs. Might do this later. Poop.

Thanks for playing!

Cool idea, the game is really hard to get started, maybe letting the player read the prompt before starting would've helped.

You really could up the visual  feedback  and sound and have a complete game.

Nice job.

Developer

That's a good point! Thanks for playing and for the feedback.

Maybe we'll polish it a bit more and have a "final" version after the Jam :)

Very nice concept! I was thinking about some sort of news-reporting game, but couldn't flesh it out for a proper entry. And simply removing unwanted words is a genius idea.

Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Surprisingly difficult for a simple game, but I like the idea of removing intrusive thoughts from your head, I've never seen such an idea before. It's really creative.

Thanks for the uhm.. kind words quack!
