  • Amazing that you've made an online game! This is a challenge not many game jammers take on because it is hard to submit a working online game within 48 hours. You were able to understand the scope of the game jam and make something simple and polished. The only issue I've seen was that the timer didn't seem to be working properly. I wish the art direction was a bit more dynamic and eye-catching too, but this just a personal view. Very good job!
  • It was really surprising to see a hosted multiplayer game, thats a big challenge! I think that there were some bugs that came about from trying to coordinate the players and running the game, but it worked well enough! The art is understated and comes across as clean and professional. I really like it. The fact that you included a text chat instead of relying on another platform for it like Discord was cool too. I think you have all the pieces for a fun little web-game and I think it would be cool to see a completed/stable version of it out in the wild.
  • A very ambitious project for a game-jam, I appreciate the amount of work to setup the multiplayer elements of the project. I encountered a few bugs: signalling ready but not having it update for others, missing entries in chat, timer expiring too quickly. I only noticed background audio, so plenty of polish there. Some countdown audio could help build tension & suspense! Good work!
  • Team trivia meets Among Us is pretty ambitious in terms of execution, but the promise of a fun time is pretty undeniable. This has very nascent 'Jackbox Games' energy, and I think is an idea worth considering. I think the web server aspects kept you from exploring visual UX as much as you could, but I think the idea here is both fun and exciting!
  • This game shows a lot of promise but I think that the gameplay needs to be fleshed out a lot more to feel complete. There needs to be more ways for the imposter to fool the other character other than just the chat function. We also need some more interesting visuals rather than just a text box, have a look at skribble.io for an example of something well done. But I could see this evolving into a Jackbox style of game.

I love the style and music! Reminds me of Push The Button from Jackbox 6. Happen to be the inspiration?

Absolutely hilarious, and really fun concept

Had some difficulty trying to open the game and the README file didn't help
