Thanks a lot for playing, We are really glad you enjoyed it!
That’s fair feedback. The theme actually wasn’t an afterthought, we spent quite a while brainstorming how to connect “spin” to journalism. In the end, we decided to make the spinning mechanic represent the topic itself rather than the act of investigating the headlines, which is why the minigames focus more on the situations surrounding each story.
And thanks for pointing out the MJ level! That’s a good observation. We noticed during testing that most players naturally focus on the rhythm prompts, so bringing MJ closer to the gameplay area would definitely help make the animation more noticeable.
