Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • The character art is so well done. I really enjoyed the music too. This gives a strong doki doki literature club feel like you said in the GDD without being exactly the same. Great job on the theme interpretation though I feel like maybe the others are the weapons and you are a shield. The audio design was really well done. I really wanted volume sliders though. The sound effect on the successful connection of comments was real satisfying. For some reason a number of comment boxes were off screen and I wasn't able to full screen the game. I ran this on Chrome since you said Firefox has issues. The game was simple and satisfying. Some introduction in the game that explains to the player that they are a moderator for this character, weaponized to delete messages and explaining how would be a good addition to the game. Thank you for your submission to the game jam! GG on making this game!

Very interesting and cool concept! I mean, I would have just told most of these commenters to touch grass tho. I thought I was aboutta get jump scared before finishing, I got a brief doki doki literature club flashback 


As for feedback, a volume setting would be nice. Maybe a bit of an explanation on what to do when you start, like two matching comments drop right away and the colors are flashing/highlighted so the player gets the idea to connect them right off the bat

Wow, this is such a clever concept! At first, I was a bit confused by the lack of a score or health bar, but when the tone shifted darker, I absolutely loved it. The game features fun yet simple mechanics, a great use of theme, and excellent audio design!
