finally, a way to make ransom notes for my family even after my mom took away my scissors :)

Really fun idea and very well executed. There's a great layer of polish over the game, even if its loop is a bit atypical. The sound design is satisfying, too.

Very nicely done, and a very unique entry!

Very cool concept and well executed. The actual cutting and pasting of letters mechanics looks very clean and works perfect. Not sure how I feel about basically rips of actual game covers in the game though.

The idea is super fun and I had fun trying it. Sadly the letter I made was not understood, and I am sure wrote the right text. But anyway a great game. Well done.

Great Job! I never saw something similar, but i think the guy that receive the letter is pretty stupid, he don't understand it ... or maybe am I :P

I love everything about this game! The design, style, and the sound effect, are all absolutely amazing. I'd be great if there's more letters, I couldn't find F anywhere.

This is a really good game. The art was perfect. The mechanics were perfect. The interface felt so polished. This definitely gets a lot of creds for creativity. Good job!

Ohh, what an original idea! I didn't see any games like this one on this LD. But the use of AI </3...

Really liked the idea and its execution. Cutting out letters is cool, composing a blackmail letter is an unusual task, was glad to work on it :)

Liked the references to popular games, I recognized many of them.

One of my favorite games from the jam so far! Really fun, nice and short, great use of the theme. The mechanic works really well. The objective is clear. It's charming and fulfills a fantasy and plays into nostalgia. Nice work!

Really cool idea, totally fits the theme and would have definitely played it longer it if would have been possible. Also nice fake game titles. :smiley:

I loved the game covers! I think Hyper Marius or Zolda were my favorites. :D Really unique idea to match the theme!
