    Great atmosphere, Great pixel art, great story. Although difficulty can be frustrating at times it makes it more satisfying to pass a level. Really dark humour. I love it. 9/10 definitely recommend, especially for the price-tag.

    It's very different from most of the modern platformers but once you embrace the old school Prince of Persia controls, the game offers unique gaming experience with great narrative, humour and interesting gameplay.

    Indie pixelart? Check. Good ol' platforming? Check. Engaging storyline? Check. Immersive music, self-aware jokes, nationality of the authors? Check. Check. Czech. Only problem I've had was the inability to set difficulty - when you get stuck, you're stuck. The crow could give hints after several unsuccessful attempts on lower difficulty. Otherwise great fun.

    It's a roller coaster ride with dialogues borderline insane/genius, sick puzzles and challenging platforming. The story is definitely much less political than I would expect from the premise.It's well balanced and pokes fun in every direction. Sometimes it gets so bizarre it almost felt a bit philosophical. The pixel art also great and gives the game unique atmosphere.

    This game is amazing. Story is so absurd, but serious in the same time. Humour was just as I like it - dry and dirty as a cowboy frying pan. Puzzles are great. Sometimes the game is bit too hard, but solving those parts is actually satisfying.
    As so many Indie games before, this one also has pixel art graphics, but to be honest, it fits here. It looks very nice and fresh.

    A successful platform game where everything works well, including design and mechanics, except for the promised thematic overlap. [Issue#301]

    If you loved Orwell's 1984 (and traditional platforming), playing Ministry of Broadcast is a good idea.

    Ministry of Broadcast is a gorgeous looking game with an interesting setting and some funny moments in its dialogue, but the whole experience is dragged down by some frustrating design choices with its gameplay. The fans of the retro step platformers of the 16 and 32-bit eras will enjoy Ministry of Broadcast as a new entry in a genre that has been abandoned since the days of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, but it's harder to recommend to anyone who doesn't love brutal platformers.
