Your message is blunt to the point of absurdity, but that's a good thing. On another note, this is neat. How do you get the data from online newspapers? Were you using the API of some particular news-source?
Thanks for the compliment. I used RSS. I will post a post-mortem soon so stay tuned.

The words being read from online newspapers is a neat idea, but somehow I always lose grip of the remote... maybe that's what happens when you have a beer too many ! :) Also, I liked the announcer "... an afternoon of carnage..." XD !
Wow this one seemed a little depressing as well. The message was right though. TV will rot your brain! Anyway I would have liked to see the mechanics expanded and a little more robust. Maybe add powerup words that help you, or the ability to hold a word and then launch it at other words. Lots of potential there. Great job!

I really enjoyed that one :D Great concept and well executed!
Hey! Thanks for your comments! I made a quick and dirty post-mortem, addressing some of the stuff you said. Be sure to check it out! http://wp.me/p30pBX-25
Nice take on the theme! I don't care so much about the gameplay being repetitive, but I would have liked to be better able to read the words that you pulled from the RSS feeds. Most of the time they are off the screen to fast to read them. I know that's better for my brain, but on the other hand the words are the most interesting part of the game for me. Neveretheless, nice to see how your Tet* idea evolved into this :)
Nice take on the theme and it works as a game as well, kicking the real world out of screen. The static noise was a bit hard, but the the newsreader sounded perfect.
