In "Smoke Diss" you create insults with smoke signals to shame your enemy.

Rivalries between different tribes are not uncommon. The way such rivalries manifest on the other hand ... can be rather unique sometimes. Dish out heated arguments - by using heat and smoke.

Combine different smoke signals to create the perfect insults and show your dominance.

Input

The game is played using only the *mouse*. Controls are explained in-game.

Goal

Win against all your opponents and become the most *heated* debater.

Tips

Your fire resource is retained during rounds. You may save up heat to dish out bigger and stronger combos later.

Swearing using smoke signals is so fun! It's a really interesting take on the theme!
I didn't fully figure out the rules of the language, but I would say I'm so good at swearing lol

very polished game - especially the art style, music and sound effects are great! I also love the take on the theme "signals" being smoke signals to insult each other

Amazing concept. Love the artstyle. Couldn't quite figure out how the strategy worked.

The graphics are nice. I like the river animation and the movement of the blanket looks really good.
The gameplay is intuitive and the "helping tutorial hand" helped a lot in the beginning.

Having bigger numbers, when you achieve better insults, would be a good visual touch and would add to the motivation. Little sound effects while triggering the insecurities would also enhance the feedback additionaly to your exclamation mark.

Nice implementation of the theme. Had fun insulting the other tribe.

"Baby ugly and not strong." - some native american tribesman. ;)

Smoke signals is a cool take on the theme, and it was executed very well. Art is very nice and it all fits together. My only gripe was that I couldn't really tell how points are calculated or if they're random (besides insecurities). Insults were hilarious! "You not very good" is definitely one of the insults of all time :laughing: Really well polished game, congrats!

This is such a great take on the theme. It's hilarious.

The face reacting to everything is just perfect, it makes this game. You guys get my first 5 for humour this jam.

The art is great too.

A bit more variety between the rounds might have been nice.

Super polished entry! Everything just hits right! Great job!
I do wish I could retain some of my cards between rounds to prepare for the ultimate soul crushing insult! That Baby Weak & Ancestor Stinky was just waiting to happen! I did not quite understood what gave me more and what less points apart from the obscurities...
It all came together to a very funny entry!

The smoke was that signal I totally forgot about during brainstorm this jam. Total respect for the idea! The graphics is also pleasant, hope you'll make a post-jam version.

Absolutely hilariously awesome game! Loved the whole concept, the art style, the reactions of the totem head to the insults. Totally loved this game. Excellent job -- very well done!

The execution is extremely good. The idea is superb (I didn't even thing about this), and the overall delivery is just great. I love the music and how it changes appropriately, the premise is funny and the graphics are consistent. I loved the totem making faces and sounds when the insult was being delivered.

The only thing that could be improved is to clarify what impacts the actual damage, because after playing couple of times I couldn't really figure out when my insults are gonna do significant damage and when not, other than using insecurities. In fact I tried to play extremely nice, and the grammar check is definitely there, because by being nice you deal 0 points, but it wasn't clear how to maximize them.

Game. Good. Brain. Big. And. Smart. Entry. Good.
