The music is quirky and the background animation fits perfectly. As for the bully and nerd art; They look excellent.\rThe controls are easy. The concept is accessible.\r\rMy only critisism would be that there is no way to tell how potent an insult will be. Possibly having a number beside each curse? (Though, that wouldn't really work)\rSomething along those line ;)\r\rOther than that, a great upload! :D"},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:00am","epoch":1429523700,"text":"A nice idea and I love the music.

It's unique, it's original, but what is the gameplay? Trial and error? It didn't seem like different insults meant much, especially when they were randomised and sometimes you'd get duplicates or triplicates. Why? I prefer some strategy to the game rather than just randomly pressing buttons.\rI'd have preferred the controls to be clickable rather than numbered 1 2 3 4 (Especially when not clearly labeled in the game). \rNice graphics, nice music."},{"author_name":"Pantelis Petsopoulos","author_uid":"34259","time":"May 7, 2015 @ 6:17pm","epoch":1431022320,"text":"Yea thats the point.
