Such creative use of the theme here - awesome work. This is really, really creative and it's very clear a lot of thought went into this! I love the bird theme and your parodies of celebrity culture + the humor of bird mafia families played completely straight is awesome.
Some bugs I noticed:
- Organization/victim/method etc. names were sometimes duplicated
Other feedback:
- A way to snip specific threads other than taking the card all the way off the board to snip all threads at once would be great. I made multiple accidental connections that cluttered up my work area.
- Mouse-over areas on cards feel a little too big. That's why I made those unintentional connections above/it made moving things around less precise.
- I couldn't tell if moving the papers was done by a single click, then moving the mouse or holding and dragging. Both seemed to work but inconsistently.
These are very, very minor gripes purely in the spirit of improving player quality of life. What you have here is really, really special and I think you should absolutely continue development. Eager to see what's next :)
