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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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