Submitted

Developer (1 edit)

yeah, i asked before i did and they both said they're okay with it :]

Submitted(+1)

dude, this looks SO cool. immediate atmosphere generated between the visuals, sound, and interface.

the correction mechanic of only choosing one word wasn't clear to me at the start.
it took using the help function a bunch of times to figure out you are normally just choosing an auxiliary/modal verb to negate it. at that point, it felt like i just had to go "will" or "do" hunting.

bonus points for including character customization in a jam project

Developer

very fair ! when i started thinking about this idea i thought i would be making more creative statements which would have unique ways to correct them, but as we know jam deadlines makes us scale back so this was the compromise

if i feel inspired i might change some of them to reflect that when the jam ends, because i was also disappointed in that part of it

thank you for playing !

Very cool design)

Developer

thanks :]

Submitted(+1)

Would recommend, my proper review is on the game page!

Developer

appreciate it :]

Submitted(+1)

Okay, even though it is very confusing in the beginning and you have to read a lot it is still the most experimental game of what I've seen on this jam. This is really original and I liked the art style very much. Nice game

Developer

thank you so much !
yeah, i knew making a text based game for a jam with this many entries is risky and people would probably be tired after all that coding haha

Submitted(+1)

Wow that was super fun! The concept is really interesting and unique. The art direction is really top notch and the sound design works really well. Like many other, I was a bit confused at first but I appreciate it as I think it’s part of the experience.

Developer

thank you for giving it a shot, glad you found things to enjoy :]

Very cool concept, but kind of confusing at the start. Very fun, cool sound effects as well.

Developer

thanks for playing !

Submitted(+1)

incredible concept!

Developer

thanks :]

Submitted(+1)

Extremely interesting game idea, and I love the interpretation of the theme! The way the computer feels to handle is super fun, and the sound effects and everything really adds to it.

I will say I was confused when I first played it and it took me some time to figure out how to 'succeed'. But once I figured it out, it was fun to correct people!

Also enjoyed the sociopolitical commentary :)

Developer

thank you, i really wanted the computer to feel tactile and fun to use :]
thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it !

Submitted(+1)

A very different interpretation on the theme, love the atmosphere and the the protagonists somewhat bluntness when replying.

Developer

thank you !!

Submitted(+1)

omg I was wondering if anyone would go with the "platform" shoes idea lol. And mixing that in with like political platforming? NICE

My one complaint is the window didn't resize right, so everything was kind of small for me and it was a little hard to click on stuff/read. Aside from that though, Great Job!!!

Also I found the capybara

Developer

yeah you get it !!!!

the game window on the itch page itself or the in game app windows resized wrong? i left the game embedded without full screen on purpose if that's what you're referring to, but i definitely see how it could be janky to click some stuff since it's so compact, i'll look into zoom options for the fix

thank you for playing, the capybara smiles upon you :]

Submitted(+1)

Ohh yeah so it was a fixed size, i see. Dunno what tooling you used but yeah that should be a pretty easy fix!


.. what tooling did you use out of curiosity?

Developer(+1)

it's unity ! i'll probably just resize the whole thing to be bigger, sorry it was hard to read :[

Submitted(+1)

Well I got banned XD

This is probly THE most unique concept in this jam and I love it!

Ofc it was a bit confusing at first, but reading what was being told made it easily understandable so wasnt a problem for me.

I loved the banter between  the protagonist and the other mod showing us the ropes xD

And Obv the Presentation and sound work is perfect!

Only thing Id suggest would be the game telling you that the next day is starting, cuz I just didnt pay attention to the dates changing, it was after I read the msg about them asking me to log off for the day and the other commenter mentioning they couldnt figure out how to go to the next day

But srsly, this was a super creative and fun spin on the theme!

You did an amazing job on this one!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much for going through it with so much thought !

i will probably make the shutdown button give you a prompt asking you to start the next day instead of it shutting down immediately so it's less confusing :]

really happy to hear you enjoyed it, thank you for playing !

Submitted

It was confusing at first but yeah figured out.  and very awesome idea! 

Developer

thank you for giving it a shot ! feel free to share what was confusing so i can fix it later :]

Submitted(+1)

It was different from the previous games i tried so i didn't think that it was gonna be a platformer but overall nice work!

Submitted

This is AWESOME

Since you seem to be wondering about that, here is what confused me at first :

  • Didn't really understand the goal of the game at first (maybe put it in clear words "You are a moderator and need to fact check biggotted or wrong statments"
  • Didn't know how to skip to next day
  • Didn't really understand how to use the different tabs at first

But other than that, man was it cool. Sound design is great, the art is awesome, I really really enjoyed it, favorite game of this jam so far. Great job ! :)

Also, maybe it would be cool to have an exclamation mark to show that there is news on the Icon before opening it ? I always ended up forgetting to look there

Developer(+1)

looks like we were playing each others game at the same time :D

thank you so much for the immediate feedback ! will try to improve it after the jam
for the exclamation mark you mean on the desktop icon right? they are present in the taskbar and the news tab itself but they turn off when you look at the news tab, so if you left it open from the previous day it's possible they didn't show, so i'll fix that as well

super happy to hear you enjoyed it ! good luck with your game !

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Looks like it haha

Yeah, I meant the exclamation mark. I Think it could also be present on the SAFEPINS icon on the desktop, since the tabs are closed when you start a new day.

Thanks, you can be proud of what you did ! Good luck with yours ! :)

Very cool game dude! A little out of place for the secondary theme in my opinion, but otherwise... Art design is just awesome! 8 social platforms out of 10!

Developer(+1)

so many platforms ! don't strain your eyes with all that screen time :]

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea, very creepy vibes. The sound design is well done.

Good job!

Developer

thank you !

Submitted(+1)

A really awesome spin on the theme laid out. It was slightly confusing but I absolutely loved the presentation and message.

Developer

happy to hear the theme still came through, thank you for playing and enjoying it !

do you remember what was confusing so i can fix it up after?
