Summarise your game!
Controls: WASD & Typing
Story: The year is 2115, smartphones have gained sentience, grown legs and a taste for insults.
Find people to battle and fight your way up the digital food-chain! Be careful of Spoiky.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
‘You are the weapon’ interpretation
The player’s text is a weapon in the world of social media, and this game represents how the voice can affect others.
While not a completely true representation of the real world, within the context of the game your voice or (your fingers in this typing adventure) can cut through the ranks of the digital food-chain, like a sword would an enemy.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Have fun :)

This is a very cool concept. I like how it fits the theme; I'm curious how many comments would possibly come up. Out of curiosity, I looked for an insult database, and it's mostly obscene or political, so you probably dodged a bullet by writing your own. The music is also a bop! I noticed where the grass section was, the trees and other props weren't at the right layer, so the player passed under them. Overall, a great jam submission.
Thank you for your reply!
There are 150 comments that are randomly drawn every fight. And thank you for pointing out the issues with the grass section. It seems we have been painting on the wrong layers.
