So why does it need my name and friends list?
Reviews for "Newspaper puzzle"
DasSG responds:
Newgrounds Login is required for medals to work - but the game should work the same regardless. It's totally optional.
I guess the text comes from a generic Newgounds Passport login form.
NewgoundsIO comes with medals and scoreboard features (also provide your name so game can greet you I guess).
Scoreboards have a 'Social' filter so you can compare scores to your friends.
This game uses medals only, and I wasn't able to opt out of other features (maybe misconfigured it - long time since I used it in my previous game).
Sorry for confusion
nice sudoki and word search :( no finish game hard for no speak english

Thank you for a review. It's a pity there were problems due to language barrier.
English is not my native language so I tried to make the game more accessible even if the player has limited knowledge of it.
I've used proper i18n for dates. All clues are marked in blue and are either numbers (and arithmetic expressions) or parts of dates like weekdays/months which are properly translated (so is the calendar). Chinese zodiac signs are supposed to be in Chinese - it's a part of the puzzle.
Most of the text in a newspaper is just a filler to make it look like a normal newspaper.
P.S. I don't know French and none of my friends know it... it's just the way it is.
I can translate this game into Russian or Ukrainian (but it's kinda pointless on this site), with some effort from my friends it could be Spanish or German at best.
In theory with a lot of effort I can try to translate it into very basic Japanese.
P.P.S. The problem lies not in a translation itself - text can be Google translated, but there must be a person responsible for QA in case machine translation is utter garbage.
P.P.P.S. I strongly believe that every Canadian knows both English and French :)
