Ultra funny,humour very funny

Wow I love this one to pieces -- my favorite so far! I'm a sucker for PC sims done well and this one was done VERY WELL!!!! Great work!!

DanielD5 Oct 2022, 04:02

It was pretty fun, but I wasn't sure if I was playing it right. I think it's a great idea for a game though and liked the little bits of art and text in all the posts.

AndreiSh5 Oct 2022, 04:08

I wish that the timer pauses when I open the rules, but otherwise, i like your game!
Nice graphic and chill bit!

Andy Chen5 Oct 2022, 04:14

Thanks for the support!

Whos Candice5 Oct 2022, 06:52

i like it

Adam Gallina5 Oct 2022, 07:04

I really enjoyed playing this! It definitely started to get stressful, but I liked the artwork. Well done!

Amythyst5 Oct 2022, 07:10

Really liked the concept, great art and music. It wasn't clear to me if I was dying because I wasn't resting or I was getting the wrong answer. Also purchasing things didn't seem to work? Or maybe I was looking at the wrong thing? Either way, had fun, great job.

Very good RP game, reminds me of "Paper please". Very well done. Very good atmosphere. I had to wait a while to understand how it works and the fact that you lose life regularly, but after a few games it's good. Good Job ! :)

Haotian Chen5 Oct 2022, 07:12

real nice gmae, easily one of the best i've played so far. but there is a moment that my hole screen turns red and never gose back, is that intentionally? I wont be surprised if it is lol

lespaul595 Oct 2022, 07:12

Really nice game and a cool idea for using the Theme. Love the humor and the overall aesthetics. Well done :)

Substain5 Oct 2022, 09:26

nice! its getting harder and harder to keep up, but the vibe is nice. Also I should stop smoking every 10 seconds

sztrovacsek5 Oct 2022, 11:53

That's a unique game for sure. Took me a few rounds to get the hang of it (and I'm still not sure, if I'm doing it right). The art is very nice and the messages are funny, good job! :D

Robert Li5 Oct 2022, 20:21

gosh dang. is that what it takes to be a website administrator?
smoking and over working is bad for you!
the game is overall really intense! I love it

apLavaridge6 Oct 2022, 04:52

Nice entry! Art is nice and neat, game loop is nicely balanced too.

LandoSystems6 Oct 2022, 04:56

Agreed with others here that it's a good take on the theme and a fun concept to base a game around. Lots of opportunities for humor, interesting interactions and entertaining content. Really enjoyed it!

W4YN3R6 Oct 2022, 05:01

Very funny, took me some time to get it rollin, but nice entry and fun concept!

Gorr6 Oct 2022, 14:07

Great idea. I love this art.

real_flamingicecubegames6 Oct 2022, 15:57

Awesome game. I only have a few gripes. I just think the game takes a bit too long to get going and I'm not really a fan of the cup and blink covering the entire screen. I really enjoyed the story bits near the end though. That was definitely not expected. I also found the advertisements funny. I never thought I'd see a gun with balls.

Mood and artstyle on point. Would be a cool mobile game i think.
Also a good thing that you included increasing difficulty.

Cal6 Oct 2022, 21:13

Really interesting take on the theme. Interesting mechanic and great art :)

Heine Hohenhart6 Oct 2022, 21:58

Good concept idea, enjoyed the experience!

Logan Hughes6 Oct 2022, 22:00

I like how you all approached the theme! The damage visual effect took me out of the game a bit, but I could see what you all were trying to do with it. Keeping track of everything while looking through all the posts was a challenge. The difficulty curve did roll off once the posts started to repeat, but I did have a great time trying out your game! Would be super down to play it again with a larger database of "posts"!

LDJam user 3029876 Oct 2022, 22:04

That was awesome. Really gripping theme and content, kept me playing to see how the story unfolded. The game itself also feels really polished, and I was impressed with small details like being able to minimize the moderator window. Definitely one of the strongest entries I've seen so far.

exilegl7 Oct 2022, 13:44

Very cool unique idea, and well made (although I would've liked hotkeys for approving/denying posts too). The large amount of content is cool too. I eventually reached a screen saying "I am at your door" - (not sure if that means I won or lost :P the checkmark and x buttons on that screen didnt seem to do anything) Good job!

stmatn7 Oct 2022, 20:09

This was quite a fun game. The graphics and sound were really nice and fitting. I found it a bit tediuos after a while. Constantly checking the personal needs is quite stressful, when you do not know when it ends. I would have liked a level system where you have to moderate X amount of posts. That would give the player some breathing room from time to time. However, the amount of content ist quite impressive. So, all in all very solid entry :)

Eezabra8 Oct 2022, 09:13

Horny 100, super nice sound effects and graphics!! Smooth transitions, love the needy streamer overload vibes (if it's referenced);D cute game!!

axelrinaldo11 Oct 2022, 19:43

Awesome game, I like how you managed to tell an overarching story through the game that was possible to follow despite how stressfull it was. Great graphics and nice balancing on the gameplay speed, stressfull but not too stressfull. I would have liked a sound effect to tell if I made the right moderation decision though (if there was I must have missed it). Great game! :D

XariusExcl12 Oct 2022, 18:24

"How to use Coroutines?" Also I recognized that youtube link! :laughing:

Very nice, I would've liked to know if I was doing the right decisions as well, but overall the amount of content and polish you all managed to put in is impressive! I don't know if there is an end, apparently there is? I got up to managing 4 stickers but died of brain damage before anything happened I think. Difficulty curve is good though!

Also some posts are mad funny

someone12 Oct 2022, 21:55

Interesting idea. The instruction panel disappeared way too fast to read it all so I had no Idea what I was doing.
It would have been better to delay the timers until you actually start doing stuff to allow time to figure things out.

Your web link is not clickable - probably needs the http://

LDJam user 014 Oct 2022, 04:09

Hilariously dark and painfully relatable, this game has its own unique vibe with all the art and narrative cynically and playfully reflecting an essential part of our internet culture. The growing tension building toward the ending twist is rather effective and adds meaning to the seemingly repetitive player actions. Really wish we could have more time to stop and read some of the really interesting posts but I guess that's what makes the game replayable ;)

PROJECTaroid16 Oct 2022, 20:01

Nice game. It is a cool concept, funny, and looks good.

LavaMagmo17 Oct 2022, 13:59

Fun game!

Paul Avallone19 Oct 2022, 04:46

Absolutely love the pixel art and animation. I wish there was more time to read things and the blinking and hurt visual are neat visually but it makes it hard to read. Great job.
