Probably one of the more unique ideas for this jam. I apperciate the wealth of material you recorded for it.\r\rOne of your main problems is the fact that there was a lot of sitting and waiting. I felt like maybe you should've gave the player more to do rathe than sit and listen to radio casts.

Also can't listen to hokomoko anymore :P\r\rAnyway, the game idea is pretty great. I don't think I've ever played something like this. That said, it would probably be better if it wasn't exclusively audio as I was often losing attention. Maybe there could have been some sort of textual information (newspapers\/social media\/documents...?) which we could actively search for to corroborate the accuracy of the radio.\r\rThe theme (censorship\/totalitarian state) is also close to me liking (you may want to check this other game out: http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-34\/?action=preview&uid=36138). I think it was well executed.\r\rHowever, the Ludum Dare theme correlation is pretty weak if you ask me. Ministry of "Growth" and Information is it I guess?

Nice variety of stations, too.\r\rOne thing I found a little frustrating was, as the number of stations operating got smaller, it was hard to find the optimal way to spend my time - either stay on one station and listen for the whole loop, hoping I find the offensive remark, or continuing to flip through them and risk missing it."},{"author_name":"Tijn","author_uid":"49432","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 11:15pm","epoch":1450912200,"text":"Awesome game, guys! It's clear you had lots of fun making this. I also love these kinds of quirky, innovative non-standard games. For me, this is what LD is all about!\r\rI agree with some of the other comments that it would be nice if the channels weren't randomly chosen, but in a certain order instead. But it's a minor detail, really. It's also not immediately apparent for each channel what you are looking for, but searching for it is what makes the game fun to play. I like that the game is quite forgiving when you guess incorrectly, which gives you the opportunity to just try and see what happens, thus exploring the various hilarious content. There's little replay value once you've heard everything, but most LD entries don't even have the amount of content you guys have, so that's alright really.\r\rAll in all a very nice game.
