Nuh uh, don't like.
coz thats the exact theme of the game. its supposed to be something simple and peaceful. if you’re looking for some kind of jaw dropping, flaming hoop jumping or like totally shameless story, this is not the one you’re looking for. And I don’t think leaving “Nuh uh, don’t like” would be a good idea. its like someone waking in your face and looking at it and then say “Nuh uh, ugly.”
No one’s stopping you from leaving negative comments but you atleast need to justify or express why.
Just criticism is not healthy, try to make it constructive atleast.
We understand things differently. I think comments are for your emotions after playing a specific game, and ratings are for showing what you like or not in detail. You don't understand that this was my emotion after playing this for more than an hour with some short breaks, and after all this time I don't like this game. Comment = emotion. If I would think that comments are for "constructuive criticism", I would've posted something else.
Plus, no one says "you can only post constuctive criticism here, nothing else" before you post your comment. That thought also looks so simple to me, just try to understand that people think differently, it works with every person, meaning if most people think this way a different person don't have do think this way too.
Constructive criticism is what helps creative people evolve. You're right, you can absolutely come in here and just be a dick about an artist's freely public, carefully designed, creative project that is already a super niche, difficult genre that they've worked hard on, say "Eww, gross" and just leave.
The alternative however, is to maybe acknowledge what it actually was you didn't like, and to give the creator some food for thought, maybe some insight they might not have. There's a saying "Say something nice or don't say anything." and there's a reason that exists, it keeps people from just getting torn down over and over with no incentive to improve.
I'm not saying you're not allowed to dislike, or even hate it, totally your opinion. But a little clarification on what was that looked so simple about it would make a big difference for the artist, the other players, even you.
Honey, let me help you...

- Why would I want an author who's work I don't like to "evolve" or "give him some food for thoughts"? Authors may do what they want, and they surely won't listen to everything you don't like, or they may end up making something that they dislike themselves.

"I'm not saying you're not allowed to dislike, or even hate it, totally your opinion."
- You literally said that: ""Say something nice or don't say anything." and there's a reason that exists, it keeps people from just getting torn down over and over with no incentive to improve."
"You're right, you can absolutely come in here and just be a dick about an artist's freely public, carefully designed, creative project that is already a super niche, difficult genre that they've worked hard on, say "Eww, gross" and just leave."
- A dick? You mean "Nuh uh, don't like" sounds like me being a dick? Oh, wow I've never thought it hurts so much. Or maybe you're such a big fan that every wrong word is an assault to you? Anyway, it's not my business but I don't see anything offensive here.
Yeah, that's pretty much it. Almost every misunderstanding was in the end answered in my previous comment. You just have to pay some extra attention.
I wonder if there will be more comments with someone else trying to bring up the same topic again, telling me I'm "bad" and all the other users are "good, but only if they like the game".
You're right, you can comment whatever you'd like. I feel like the amount of controversy surrounding your comment is a bit unnecessary, however, I would like to just point out that the reason people are upset is not because you didn't provide insightful feedback but because it was just a rude thing to say.
