That was fantastic! Very creative, and very good at telling a story and giving options without using words. Even the radio was a great touch, and edits to animate. You used your medium very well. I would have loved to see this go further.

Wow! This has some outstanding presentation! All of the messages were intuitive and I love the way you got the messages to edit themselves to show animation. And the art does a good job of portraying the emojis without directly copy and pasting them. The radio was a really nice touch. I just wish discord gave the option to loop the track without me having to go back and click it.
The one problem I had was figuring out how to proceed after feeding the dragon watermelon. There didn't seem to be any emoji for a trapdoor or stairs.
There is really a huge amount of potential for this idea, nice work!
Loved it! Makes very smart use of all the non-textual communication means that Discord offers.
I was ready to get puzzled by nonsensical emoji sequences and click through the heaps of various icon, but then it dawn on me that it's actually a very cool twist on the classical adventure game with a fixed set of commands and objects (was amazed to discover Discord's the text-to-emoji interface). Would love to play more!
I had to use the help because there is way too much smiley and nothing I tryed worked :open_hands: on the sheep to pet it ? But with the help I figured what i needed to do. With that said ...
Really nice game! I would have liked more of it! Kind of sad when I was done. A little dialogue would have be interesting. How to communicate with only emojis?
My favorite game so far ( also my first played chuuu).
I give this game 5 stars. I don't know how original this is, but i certainly enjoyed it a lot.
This is AWESOME. Some of the mechanics would be impossible in a different medium! Like looking closely at the picture, then looking through the emoji... very unique, and a great take on the theme! I also really enjoyed the twist on the old wolf/chicken/grain puzzle!
Like many textful text adventure games, it falls prey to the "guess the verb" problem, or in this case the "guess the emoji" problem. For the observational challenges, that's the challenge and that's awesome. But for the puzzle bits, some synonyms would have avoided frustration and not detracted from the experience.
Quite possibly my favorite game of the jam so far - kudos!!
