A recipe for a good joke contains setup, punchline, and, of course, delivery. In our game you'll get the setup, but can you come up with a good punchline and deliver it?
Master bouncy ball, unlock letters, come up with a good punch line and captivate the audience!
Share your best jokes with us in the comments!
The game utilizes GPT-4 API to rate the jokes. Even though we've spent considerable amount of time adjusting the prompts to get appropriate responses, due to the model's nature it's still possible that your good jokes won't be rated highly. So don't get discouraged, you might still have a chance to become a comedian for a live human audience!
Because of the API usage the game requires internet connection for the best experience.
To comply with GPT-4 API terms of use and for internal analytics we store the following data: joke setup, punchline, game level, unlocked letters, rating and game session ID. We don't store any sensitive data or other personally identifiable information. By playing our game, you consent to this data collection and usage.
Very creative take on the theme. Peggle game works without flaw, although after writing my bad punchlines there was always an error when connecting to server. Shame this part of the game didn't work as intended. Curious how is the punchline rated on the server.
Hey, thanks for playing our game! It turns that out games hosted on LD website can't communicate with external servers. If you're still curious give our game a try on itch.io!
Interesting game! Really liked the twist on the theme, and its impressive that you've managed to implement a joke rating system, i'm super curious to know what tech you used for that! It would be interesting to know more about why the joke was funny or not, with some sort of feedback from why a joke succeeded or failed. Nice entry!
I really like the unique take on deliver and the way peggle coincides with getting letters you cna write jokes with. I just wish there was more of a hint what would score higher.
Really enjoyed the sounds & feel of the peggle portion. Also curious on how the jokes were scored because some truly terrible ones ranked in the 7-8 range while most others were 2-3 haha. Level design was also good and kept things fresh, but unfortunately I ended up softlocked at this part:
Definetely one of the best I've seen this jam! So creative, simple and such a great execution! well job guys, you made an awesome game which made me want to keep playing it to see if I can come up with better jokes! reached about 20 points
Really impressive, the idea is insane, can't believe you thought this all up in a weekend, peggle sections were really fun, and the harder levels had me actually thinking about what keys to type. Well done.
Combining peggle and delivering jokes with limited letters is... unique, to say the least. Can't say that it was engaging, but at least fun for a while. Too bad the actual score is obscured by some "server magic": I didn't feel like I was in too much control over the resulting score. On average better jokes were scored better, but most of the time it didn't feel... "fair"? Even if the server logic is better that random scoring.
Moreover, I usually expect the game to make jokes for me, not the other way around: I don't get happy neurons activations when I joke "into the robotic void" :D
The peggle part was pretty fun and worked flawlessly, though, props to the team!
I love it! It wasn't too hard to get all the letters in the beginning but it got increasingly harder. On the second try GPT stopped responding sadly. On the up side, I got to see to 0/10 outcome because of the random output generation (because of course my jokes aren't that bad... right?). Really well executed, it felt polished there was a satisfying scoring build up and finish, and it was fun to play!
An interesting take on the theme, however I was never strong in jokes to really enjoy it 😄 Got as much tomatoes as was possible probably, there should be an anti-rating 😃
peggle part was good and nice take on the theme. i could not figure out the jokes. i think it would have been better to give the player options for puchlines instead of typing it out? thanks for making the game.
Although an AI may not be the best judge at comedy, at least I liked the idea of mashing two wildly different things :)
BTW, for some reason it gave me 75 out of 10 once:
Oh, also you may add a notice about the computer time on the description (I couldn't play it properly before because my PC time was wrong, now on the laptop with the correct time it's working just fine)
Really original idea ! Definitely a high contender on innovation category ! Some small criticisms: I understand the need to add some gameplay with the minigame but it was kinda frustrating (especially for non native like me) to be bereft of some letters, it was hard enough to try to find a joke in another language ! And also for me the music was really stressful (thanks for putting a shutdown button
it was really fun. I did not have many letters so I wrote "your mom" reply and I was imidietly boomed that I was offensive. very funny entry. very original
The "delivering a punchline" was a unique take on the theme, and the concept of having to come up with a punchline for a given setup was a very interesting idea. Though it did feel like the peggle segments sometimes hamstrung the possibilities too much - perhaps duplicating the most commonly used letters as extra targets could make it easier to avoid ending up being unable to construct meaningful punchlines with the unlocked letters.
The art was good too, the audience reactions were especially funny.
Peggle game works without flaw, although after writing my bad punchlines there was always an error when connecting to server. Shame this part of the game didn't work as intended. Curious how is the punchline rated on the server.
