I have so many good thing to say.. 1) Opening music is a bop, great job! 2) Talking sound effect it incredible! 3) Love the monitor name! 4)Though it is a bit boring reading everything, still is fun learning about the different universes. Great game!
I love the unique twist on the theme, I would have never thought of intergalactic news
I don't really have many critiques, the game was pretty solid all around The one thing I might say, though, is that some of them were pretty obvious, like one universe liquids didn't exist and multiple headlines, not just one, talked about water in some capacity, which made it a little too easy on some of them. Great job though, I loved playing!
I was a little unclear on what I was supposed to do. I feel that changing "Universe Facts" to "Facts about this Universe" might have done a better job clarifying. I also feel that it should have been clearer that clicking the headline was the final selection. For some reason, I initially thought I'd have to drag and drop the headlines and instead I'm on my way to getting fired after clicking one. Either way, fun idea and some good humour.
You need to fix ui, i can't see fully with my screen resolution :)

@naganen ya, you have to full screen it for it to work because of resolution size
@adam-jenness This is a fullscreen screenshot :) My screen resolution lower than 1080p :)
@naganen oh snaps, im an idiot lol, good catch
Really fun way of doing "Delivery" and a cool premise. I don't really have much in the way of critique for this game, but the talking sound effect was hilarious. Great stuff!
@matthewdrake Thanks, thats actually my 4 year old who really wanted to help with the game lol
The idea is totally there, it's easy to understand and to play, on the other hand the voice acting I was not ready :)
A really nice thought-provoking game, really original. The graphics and the SFXs were alright, had some fun with it. Good job!
@zsharpfire Thanks !
It may have a bit too much text, but other than that everything else is great!
I give you points for innovation but as others mentioned, that was really a lot of text to go through and thats usually not so much fun. Anyway good idea and kudos for the voiceover :D
Very interesting concept! Top notch voice acting. Nice little logic puzzles that would be easier to expand in future, I would have liked it if while delivering the news, there was some audio or visual queue for when you got things correct or incorrect, like maybe you have images for the correct headlines and sometimes what you say does not match and the character looks confused or there are boos or something.
@nerdyherbivore lol ya my 4 year old wanted to help and he’s like can I just make any noises I want? Sure I said and honestly became the best part of the game
That game is a real brain melter. Funny idea and cool execution. It's quite tough sometimes to find the right things to say. But that's only me having that issue. The news reader is an absolute pro. Great job, great game!
Whew this was tough! Really enjoyed the opening music and it was fun learning about the different, weird nuances of each reality. Solid jam entry!
That was funny to play! Interesting take on the theme
This game forced me to actually exercise my logic skills from back when I was in school (which actually turned out to be quite a bit of fun). I enjoyed learning about all the different universes and realized how tricky it would be to disentangle the fake headlines from the real ones when the universes themselves are so different from ours. It turned out to be a great mental exercise!
One small thing I'd say is that it did take quite a while to read each headline (and while some of that is wording things a certain way to force the player to examine each statement carefully, I think another aspect of the clarity was the font, actually - it was hard to parse each headline on the right at a glance).
But overall, I enjoyed the game and was extremely glad to see that someone took the notion of "delivery" in this direction.
Top-tier voice acting for the newsdesk anchorman made me guffaw, as well - that part's absolutely an A-plus in my book.
@hanadulcet i honestly appreciate the feedback.
Intro track is pretty cool!
very whimsical facts about the universes. I love the approach to the theme. this makes me want hang out with you haha
It was hard for me to read all of the instructions. not sure whether its the font size or the contrast between pure white and black. I got a bit confused staring at it. and because of that I had to restart the game to actually play.
Something to keep in mind that not everyone has your hard set resolution. even tho it is shown in ITCH resolution, you have to press full screen.
Great feel of the game!
Takes a bit of understanding at first but the mechanic is really nice, it's fun seeing the news report at the end, well done.
The game is extremely simple and straightforward, although it has some cool ideas for prompts and interesting take on the jam's theme. An option to skip last cutscene would be very helpful; that way game would be more enjoyable to replay. I also think that adding some visuals (like simple icons) to the facts about the universe would make them more readable and the interface would become clearer.
I would like to travel to some of these universes! Also the text reading totally threw me off, pretty fun entry!
I absolutely love the way you used this theme, delivering news articles is perfect and hilarious.
Thanks for letting me play this on stream, you can find your timestamp on this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jjtp0dcDg
Thinksecretly thank you so much for stopping by my stream to share your game! Congrats on your first game jam you did great. These pieces of universal facts were super creative and I really enjoyed reading them and connecting them to the news titles I should or should not have said.
I think a bit more diversity in audio would have been nice but other than that super great :D
An interesting twist on the theme. Nice little game, well done!
innovation is an easy 5/5 for me, the idea is really creative and I like that you took the risk and went with such unusual idea! the gameplay is fun but it gets exhausting after a while because I have to do so much reading and process much information just to drop it all in the next level it's like my brain Rams keep getting full then empry then full again lol which made me tired quickly, but I do love the idea and I certainly had fun trying to figure out the right option, awesome work for your first game, hell, awesome work period!
Very good idea, graphics are great, and the news speaker voice made my day :D
@0x-void-x0 this is valid about the amount of information. Thanks for checking it out.
Good idea for a game! It's funny, thanks for the time.
It was interesting take on a game. Wish I would've gotten immediate feedback after picking my choice. I wasn't really sure which one I got wrong.
Really fun and really well done. Your entry fits with the theme - unusual way. I laughed a lot :) Thanks ++
The gameplay loop works fantastically. I was very sceptical at first, as I thought it'd be too hard to get into a new set of rules each round, but I may have underestimated myself lol :D Super cool concept!
It was a pleasure to play this nice looking sci-fi game with such atmospheric ambient music +) I was a bit confused at the beginning not understanding what I have to do. I also failed to read starting prompts in time, so I would suggest to give a player more control here
