Talking Heads by ponk
Talking Heads is a game about information circulation.
Drag and drop heads to build a circuit that translates letters.
Here is a gif of the mechanic : http://i.imgur.com/QYH9Zs5.gif
If all the heads are connected with the last ear, you start a new level.
The compo version have only one level.
In the post compo version the levels are procedural and infinite
The game currently lack of level design elements to make a challenge progression.
Need to find out a simple idea and may be create some hand made levels.
For now there is only one drawing reward when you go the next level, but i will try to provide more content not too late.

Cool entry!
Going to make a level generator when I got time.
But for now I'm going to play and rate some games !
Well done.
Still fun and weird though.
Managed to get the reward with one head out of the circuit (there's something I never thought I'd be writing!) -- dunno if that's supposed to be possible? Great stuff though :D
I love the way the game introduces itself in the words that the people are saying.
Seemed to be pretty straightforward to begin with, but really made me think to find a solution :) Very stylish (yay, tweens) AND fun to play. Great job!
I wish the game was longer, but that's really just me being greedy - it's such a novel and wonderfully executed idea. The graphical style is very pleasing and works perfectly with such an abstract concept (I love the reward at the end).
I hope you'll pursue this further; I'd love to see where it goes!
Each of your comments are real motivation boosters to finish the game.. !
Will post soon !
Good job captain.
It's not quite as luscious looking as your previous entry... maybe if the heads had bodies or something to form a background it would look more complete.
It might also be better if the text had more of a purpose.
it would be cool if some heads change the way the message is presented, so you would need to delivery the right message by turning the message to it's normal state
something like that
Your suggestions really help me to decide what should I do next with that game. (If I have time to work on it)
@voxel : Is "human-making" is what I think ? :)
Need some other levels...
