In what way does your game fit the theme?
You play as a blogger writing fake articles and watch as the false information you spread wreaks havoc on the world.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and art is original, the sound was downloaded.

Really nice concept! I was a bit confused at first, I made some "juicy" sounding headlines, but it said underneath that they were "weak." I eventually ran one, and it made a lot of money. Does "weak" mean yellow journalism, or is that supposed to indicate that the article isn't likely to do well?
I played for a lot longer than I was expecting that I would, connecting different articles to see what it comes up with was quite fun. I actually stopped playing because the UI was difficult, there were a couple of buttons that were really difficult to click on.
Yeah, we definitely didn't communicate this well, but "weak" means that the articles aren't really related and your post isn't really factual. Thank you for your feedback though!
Great idea for chaos! Nice Game!
The game is pretty cool, but the UI sometimes isn't responding well
Very nice idea. However, it would be cool if we could see the consecuences of the articles.
So this game has a cool concept that fits well with the jam.
However, the controls are fairly difficult, as often button clicks are not registered.
Interesting concept. I'd like to see it fleshed out into something more robust. But in this prototype, the execution was not there. It felt more like a puzzle of "find the two headlines that can fit together" rather than letting me express any real creativity.
Also, the controls were rough. The buttons were hard to click and drag/drop was inconsistent (which made me unsure if I wasn't allowed to combine certain headlines).
Definitely the most innovative concept man, great job!
This is an awesome concept! Loved the game :)
Hello people. First, i think your idea is really good. Saddly, the game has a few bugs. for example, i couldnt publish my stuff. also, i could just buy anything. is that intended? The Design of the game is okay, but could be impoved by alot if you want!
Would be awesome if you could play & rate my game aswell! Thank you, tiimo :3
We saved the tutorial for the last day so I feel I didn't explain the premise well. You are supposed to be able to buy whichever articles you can afford and then combine them together to create a new headline. In the my blog tab you should be able to drag the post-it notes at the bottom into the two slot (grayed out post-its) and if there is a connection it appears in the left-hand side and you can select and hit publish. This works on my end, but it is possible it doesn't work on other devices. Either way, thank you so much for your feedback!
