Love the presentation, pretty unique concept and a cool use of the theme. Also liked how you can get different outcomes for each headline. A bit short but would like to see this expanded into a game with more articles.

The art style is fantastic, and the gameplay made me laugh. Nice job!

This brings back memories of fooling around with a Sharpie and cheap stripped books on the school bus. Expressive, well-presented, and REALLY funny. The art and music are perfect, too!

Interested to see how you’ve programmed this. My game is also about sentence deconstruction, but I had to simplify to only accepting either adjetives or substantives. I’m curious on how you managed to create such text analysis.

Edit: I’ve just read the walkthrough. Ok, it was simpler than I thought! Great job!

So many unique ideas for this jam and this is definitely one of my favorites. It even leaves me guessing how the code for determining the possible sentences works. Very clever and great submission!

love this game! the dynamic music is really good, the concept is really creative, all of the headlines have multiple funny and different solutions, and the collage style is extremely cool. usually i like to give at least one piece of critique in my reviews, so i'll say it was a little tedious to restart the game after making one of the wrong headlines for an ending and i wish you could go back and change individual headlines instead, but this game is pretty much perfect as is :)

The gameplay is so good, really cool your ideia. I would play even more! Amazing job

This game is great! 

I think with more work to flesh out more possible redactions it could be even better. Right now there are times where something logically makes sense reading it but the game marks it as not making sense

Great concept, but one of the articles made me confused. Good job with the game

Such a fun game and a creative take on the theme! Definitely enjoyed cutting the bird's population in half, and then blaming the geese lol. Great art, great music, great game; top marks.

10/10 i can make the governor assassinate the hotdogs and birds cut scientists in half. great work!

I'm a sucker for these! I would totally pay for this, this is just what i do on a daily basis with random articles and signs. Love the art, well executed to the concept/time of the game.

It's a bit hard to solve for the endings available but still creative and funny to play! Really love the mechanics and concept here!

Incredible entry! With more playtesting to get all the possible redacted headlines it would be phenomenal.
