Nice concept :D

Nice game there !

Seems quite short, also have I missed the ability to restart the game.

Excellent little game! The idea was great, and it's a good use of the theme. Nice music and graphics too. It's a shame there's no option to replay it though, since it took me a few tries to get all the photos.

Poor Mayor!

Really cool, shame you didn't have enough time to make more levels.

Incredibly well polished. Wonderful work! Interesting and fun.

This game is really nice!
It looks good, it is fun to play and everything feels polished.
Would be interesting to see more of this!

Nice game. Also tells a lot on how journalists can twist reality at their own will

vvolis 2015-04-21 18:51

Very very good! Love the atmosphere, the visual style and the music. The way you have animated characters is so simple yet so fucking lovely! Great job! Wish there was more content and a bit more important fail state. Anyways, great job guy!

I rate this: the-hotdog-guy/5

Seriously, good stuff

mitchellsha 2015-04-21 20:13

I love how derpy the characters walk!

arttut02 2015-04-21 20:17

I would have liked to play a few more levels. This was good.

yuigoto 2015-04-21 20:24

Loved the overall mood of the game and the "weapon" you used. :) That hot dog man...hahahaha!

Graphics and music really fit well together with the theme and style in the game.

Could be well expanded upon the photo journalism theme, twisting news, tabloids and stuff. :3

Nice nice!

Love the cutesy graphics and the concept is hilarious. Not a whole lot of game content for a 72 hour submission from a team of 3. Great job nonetheless, one of the better games I've played.

bizm 2015-04-21 22:28

Super cute and innovative! :D Love the attention put into all the mini "events".

everlessdrop41 2015-04-22 22:35

Really liked this one, very nice concept

Apparently I only got one usable photo, and it really wasn't the one I expected to be the "correct" one either. I could have swore the one I took where the mayor was holding scissors like a maniac would have made the CUT... hehehe... *ahem*. But it didn't, it was labeled as bringing laughter to the crowd. What!? No one in the crowd was even smiling. Okay, fine, fine. I got a quick shot of the hot-dog suit guy fiasco, but apparently not at the right time. That one I was okay with... but I took a picture of the baby one and it was like "stealing candy from a baby". Now, that one I could have swore wouldn't have been classified like that because everyone was smiling, the baby didn't cry, etc. It just felt like what the game was telling me were "good" photos could be interpreted otherwise in reality.

Aside from the gameplay criticisms though the visuals and overall feel for how the camera reacts to the mouse cursor felt great. Very smooth overall and polished feeling. The audio was also appropriate and helped establish the overall mood.

Poor doggy... Haha, great job on this one!

rjhelms 2015-04-23 02:00

Really well polished. Nice take on the theme & a great visual style. I just wish there was more of it!

jwin 2015-04-23 05:00

Excellent idea!

xaychru04 2015-04-23 10:23

Cute graphics, I enjoyed it! :)

team-mac 2015-04-23 14:53

Fun game! Great idea and well implemented. Love the art style and all the characters. I'll never be a great photo journalist - all I had were great pictures of the mayor

aaronjbaptiste 2015-04-23 22:23

Artwork, audio, mood all top notch. Gameplay was solid too.

Would have liked some more levels, and I was able to win by pretty much spamming photos of everything (I guess that's realistic to real paparazzi haha!.)

Adorable animations, great great.

micahcowan 2015-04-23 23:13

Simple and short, but well done, fairly polished, and fun. Nice work!

papygaragos 2015-04-24 12:27

that was a great entry. I had to play it twice though : first time I went in the wrong direction looking for the mayor
