So I started with a vague idea about the "Deep State", and ended up with this.

Your mission is (a) to figure out what's truly going on, and (b) to keep the red string / pins of your conspiracy corkboard nice and tidy. Click and drag to move pins around. Once no red strings are crossing over, new information (which is to say, new pins and string) will appear.

(Sometimes it won't be possible to uncross all the strings - so once you've dragged things around enough, a bin will appear in the bottom right corner that you can drag things into and unstick yourself.)

Once you've ███████████████████████, the game ███████ ████████████████. You can't ██████████████████████████ - ████████████████████████████. To ████████ the game, use the █████████████████████████████████, █████████████ ██████████████████████████ world map. Good luck!

That gets crazy FAST. It's been too long of a day for me to solve these puzzles. Great Concept and execution!

Wow, very fun! I played twice. This first time, I fixed one iteration, and then the second iteration was NUTS with everything connected, and couldn't unravel after 10 minutes... Is it possible to form unfixable tangles in your game? Anyway, the second playthrough was a much smoother progression, and I got much further. Fun puzzle! I like the music too, and the conspiracy vibe.

I got the villain :spy: Nobody can elude my gaze forever :eyes:

For real, this was one of those games that IMMEDIATELY tickled me. As soon as I moved stuff and more stuff appeared, I audibly got hyped. I love the concept and it would be so cool to have a this be a mini-game in a larger game about investigating worldwide conspiracies! The truth is out there!

The music is also extremely fitting and a beautiful piece! Top quality stuff!

To cap it all off, it's made with LOVE! :smile: Nice! Glad to see more people giving that framework some ... LOVE...

"Oh this is satisfying" - The first thing I said when I started playing. I was a huge fan of your previous entry, so I got very happy to see that you participated this time as well.

This is such a unique idea, and the funny thing is that it reminds me of making UML-diagrams of all things.

The visuals, music and overall presentation where all top notch, especially for a compo entry!

Your introduction is very interesting hahahahahahaha, I think it will be interesting to continue to improve the game, now the game is a little too short, I played the game twice

Very cool mechanic - I also like the twist around at the end, where you basically _have to_ make lines cross to win.

Dont think I got a very good score but at least I tried :P was fun though

Very clever twist on the theme! :)

I also liked how even with the unconventional gameplay, you managed to find a way to have a "boss fight" final challenge so there could be an ending.

Hope you get enough ratings in the next few days!

Good job! This was original, pretty fun, and fit the theme in a creative way. If the internet worked like this, I wouldn't sleep.

Wow nice job with these, I actually really enjoyed this. I love the take on the theme and the idea of just moving stuff around on the board, it creates some pretty funny images. It was a fun light puzzler almost. I dont really have any criticism or recommendations even, just overall was awesome. Nice job!

What an amazingly original idea! I absolutely loved it though I have learned that I am as terrible at sorting out these tangles as my tangled up headphones, haha. The only thing I missed was a satisfying tack sound effect. :D

I wanted to share this game with a friend, so I gave it another try, and, well… My score is really better than the previous, so I think you would like to see it :smile:

Everybody will concur with me that propelling part is being overpowered by the ladies these days. I love reading reviews here https://topcvwritersuk.com/topcv-review/ for more ideas as ladies are showing more energy for the direction identifying with the showing organizations They are in basic figures in the advancing division.
