That got dark fast.

I like how there are multiple different endings available.

Wow. I think I need an adult now. Made me laugh a couple times, though.

Very interesting game! I did not expect some of the stuff to happen (no spoilers). Other than that it was as fun match 3 game for sure.

I liked the integration of the theme into the game; the more you play with emojis, the worse your addiction to cocaine gets and you get sent to prison as a result.

After reading the comments, I understand where you were going with following the theme. However, I would not have had the thought of refreshing the page to restart the game otherwise; a reset button in-game would have been nice.

I had a hard time actually playing match 3 because all the emoji's have the same color. Maybe use some differently colored/shaped emoji's? I couldn't get far enough to see the different dialogue that other comments seem to hint at. I did win though :)

I have no idea what just happened but I love emojis :thinking:

Oh damn he got me :neutral_face:
I found it fairly difficult to find matches because every icon looked so similar, like Wilco said above using different colours/shapes would have been good

:slight_smile: :rage: :poop: :alien:

It takes some tries to get it, but when you do... :joy:

Not sure how it connects to the theme, but it's a cool short game! Well done
