Great UI solutions (namecard) and dressing (ticker), helps a lot to add meaning to the game world. Possible extension would be to use the cliché 'a web of lies' making further use of the 2D plane.

Really awesome game but too fucking hard! :) Or I just suck at the controls. You should fix the sticky collisions, add control support, add more levels and some story along with some old school 2d cutscene inbetween levels and I would totally buy the shit out of this! :D"},{"author_name":"Thingus","author_uid":"15715","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:35pm","epoch":1418250600,"text":"This was lovely; Paranoia, The Game.

Very well done on the actual business cards, I'm not sure why it was so satisfying just typing my name in! I'm not sure why, but I guess I was hoping for a.. totally different kind of game?! I dunno, that's weird isn't it? I guess I felt like the game didn't do the theme\/premise complete justice. I guess I just wasn't expecting a dexterity\/skill game! Anyway, nothing against the game, that was just my strange experience.\r\rAs for the game, I liked how you eventually flooded the area with these rumors sort of like negative vibes, like you could see the negative work environment you were creating, all by yourself! \r\rThe music and the mechanics went very well together, I really loved the phone on the soundtrack."},{"author_name":"Code Medicine","author_uid":"45794","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:34am","epoch":1418275740,"text":"Great entry, never seen anything like it.

Unique idea. I like the music a lot.

The way that you have to manage space and try to keep in mind the way that the game will progress - getting more difficult as you advance through the ranks - creates very interesting gameplay. Unfortunately, the collision was very problematic and caused numerous gameplay issues such as unpredictable reflections of the rumors and causing the player to get stuck on the environment. I think these problems could definitely be solved with a little bit of preparation. Very nice job overall, keep practicing and you'll have a much easier time on your next LD!"},{"author_name":"Florent","author_uid":"14207","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 9:41am","epoch":1418722560,"text":"I was still an itern after five minutes of play, maybe that's a bit long but very nice game overall !"},{"author_name":"MrBadIvan","author_uid":"44988","time":"Dec 17, 2014 @ 6:26pm","epoch":1418840460,"text":"Brilliant idea!=) It is very fun and the process is challenging, I like the feedback on rumor hit=)"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Dec 22, 2014 @ 7:56pm","epoch":1419277860,"text":"Nice concept, though after time, everything gets out of sync.
