Such a fun and hilarious idea! Had a blast playing. I'd love to play a full game
It's really fun, but only the ending that gets you dictator or revolutionary actually popped up for me
HOW DO PASS THE FIRST TEST!
Cross out everything except "You're hired"!
what did i just play
It was a good game, though I'm not sure how to finish it. On the final clipping (The End?), I cannot click Submit. I'm not sure if I have finished it or not.
there’s a walkthrough in the description on how to get the different endings!
███ █ particularly good GMTK game jam game, ███ the idea is good and the music adds to the atmosphere.
Overall, it's a good game ███ as it stands it's ███ ████ perfect.
Seriously, though, good job.
Thank you, everyone, for your support, we are planning on turning this into a complete game in the near future!

This was absolutely amazing. I kept playing even after getting every ending and found new collages every playthrough! There's so much to do, and honestly if there were even a couple more levels like this one I could see this being sold on Steam as a full game.
Interesting and unique game, very creative. Good job really <3
You guys accomplished some really cool stuff with this! I didn't even realize there was more than one way to rewrite a headline until the end. It was fun going back through to try to find other scenarios.
Very interesting game, there is a lot of possibilities, which couldn't have been easy to account for. I think there was a few I did that had ??? for. But not a big deal, seriously strong jam game.
This is such a well executed idea! I love it! The music can be a bit grating though, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed playing this and coming up with new headline meanings. I hope the team can fully flesh out this great idea!
This is such a great idea, please make it a full game!
We are planning to!
This was fantastic. The music with the typewriter noises etc was great, I wish there was a volume slider or a mute button because sometimes the music skipping was a bit much but really good tone to fit the game well done. I was trying to find all the different ways to make new meanings and had a wonderful time.
played this with my younger brother, we were folded laughing. Please expand on this its sooo good. I dont even have feedback. Amazing work
This might be my favourite game of this Jam. Would love to see it expanded with more headlines!
Love it. The concept itself could be made into its own game and the aesthetic is perfect for it. Although, the branching choices could be made more clear
I loved this game 10/10
The art was great here. I liked the concept too, reminds me of Papers Please. It also took me a while to understand that you get two sequences of words to cross out, not just two words. But after I figured that out, the game made a lot more sense.
Ok took me a little while to figure out I could cross out multiple words with one line (but that's on me, I didn't read the instructions properly). Once I had understood, I thought this was both hilarious and a super novel concept!
