The game has an incredibly relaxing mood, with beautiful art and good music. \r\rMy only complaint would be the lack of feedback. I "beat" two poets, but during the game it's sometimes hard to see if you did an interesting poem or not (the crowd is cheerful sometimes, but maybe they should "boo" at bad poems too?)\r\rAny very innovative and creative entry, congratulations!"},{"author_name":"local minimum","author_uid":"24765","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1429544520,"text":"Fabulous! Such poems I constructed. I didn't fully read or understand what made a poem good or bad according to the crowd, but that didn't really matter so much. Most fun was in the poetry slam itself anyhow.\r\rThe text was a bit hard to read though. If the font had had some border around its characters to make them stand out a bit better and maybe collect the completed lines float up to the top so you could easily read them without being covered of the next line's composition alternatives.\r\rIt should also come with a handy screen-shot button if a poem turns out particularly good. Also, if there was a place for the best poem ever written according to the games metric..."},{"author_name":"generic_ghost","author_uid":"52312","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1429544580,"text":"Wow!

I think it's not clear enough how to make "good" or "bad" poems, and that's something that should be pointed out.\r\rThe art is great and sets up the mood, but maybe the text should be a bit bigger, you have a lot of empty space on the screen and you could use some of it to make the text clearer.\r\rGood work!"},{"author_name":"MightyToast","author_uid":"49934","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:15pm","epoch":1429549800,"text":"I love the take on the theme.
