@indigowolf Sorry, had it published as a draft instead of public, should work now.

Bigfoot used Vaccines and Nuclear Waste to wreak havoc in another dimension; the NFL says Hiroshima is to blame! fun little game. I don't know if its by design but you can't submit a headline with a card that has a score of 1 in it. I had a good laugh at some of these. It would be nice to be able to scroll through all the headlines you submitted at the end of the game. Congrats on the game!

I love this take on the theme! It is conveyed nicely and has a really great charm to it. I had a couple good chuckles, and liked that I could combine headlines for a laugh or to try to optimize the subtypes; I think that adds a good amount of replayability. I'm a sucker for market-buy games, and really enjoyed adding my own topics or enabling deeper intrigue. If anything, I would have appreciated being able to tab back to my "inventory" while at the shop, so I wouldn't have to buy colours blindly.

Great stuff, thanks for the fun!

Very cool approach! Had a blast coming up with bizarre headlines. Great job!

absolutely loved the game and the sound effect for dragging and dropping cards is so satisfying!

That's a deep rabbit hole! Really fun take on the theme.

Yeah, headlines are really going deeper and deeper, we sure will know all the truth someday. Really fun to try to make the most absurd sentence, great job.

Cute take on the theme.

Mechanically it feels a bit too easy, but for LD it's usually best to err on that side.

No complaints at all really, game worked as expected, no issues cropped up, and I had a fun time assembling increasingly bizarre headlines.

Nice work!

Hilarious. Mad libs as a Ludum Dare game. Gameplay is a little repetitive, but it's a short game so hey. This is the only game I've played so far that I wanted to take a screenshot of, because it was so funny.

Game is 104% inspired =)

Love the concept and humor! Great game and if you found a way to make it online with friends I can see it being very popular!

Wow, that's something new. Very interesting concept and nice implementation too. I had a lot of fun, creating these headlines. After some point, the level is not leveling further, although the button is present. Other than that it's a cool little game or rather an experience. I picture it as a fun hit game if you manage to create a community-powered content system, so everybody can suggest a topic.

This is the best entry I've played so far. Once I did maybe run into a bug though where it didn't let me continue and I had to restart. Tons of fun, great concept!!

Omg I don't know how much time I spent playing your game, I just forgot about my life and kept playing hahahah too much fun and a unique take on the theme. I liked the options to be selected and the sounds. The only bad thing was that after playing so much, the game crashed for no reason and I couldn't see the end (the buttons were not responding).

Пронырливые журналисты способны сделать сенсацию из чего угодно. Даже из снежного человека в Тихом океане.

Увлекательная карточная игра! ^_^

Actually, the first game that got our team through to the last level, even wanted some weird ending or cliffhanger at least. Felt like a spy organisation putting news straight into minds over the world, reminded me of my narrative for ludum dare 40 (the more the worse theme, on ads-straight-into-mind feeding). Nice algorithm, and mostly funny newsflashes are created. The music has the bite, though when playing till the end might wanna mute it for more authentic concentration. Could be a fun board-like game with options of sounds off, so can chill for some trippy lo-fi or jazz. Thanks for smart hilarious experience, really loved to get deeper at faking the news! Fake... or is it?)

A very inspired take on the theme. Goofy and good for a laugh. It was a little buggy for me, sometimes it didn't register a complete headline. Overall, a fun, if simple, game.

Really cool twist on the theme in this game. Enjoyed it a lot! Nice job getting the headlines to all be believable as conspiracy theory-y headlines as well, can imagine it being pretty tough to come up with all that! Nicely done!

jk5000 2021-05-12 07:28

A funny little game idea. I had fun playing this game. Well done.

roka-josh 2021-05-12 08:56

Really cool entry, I liked the funny possibilities that occurred. Overall really unique take on theme and executed well, great job!

zaibakk 2021-05-12 08:59

That was amazing! I had so much fun playing your game! The idea is fantastic, the humor is perfect and I generated some incredible stories! Really fantastic work, it's amazing! One of the best entries so far! :)
