Nice simulator. I liked Ferret Boy vs Dr. Mind :smile: - not easy to balance the needed skills for the movies, really. Sometimes there is not enough choice for the protagonists and no one to choose from to make the movie less comical, and then the audience does like the movie.
Good job, had fun with it! (and the achievements!)

Thanks for the kind words, @zondarg. Glad to hear you are a fan of Ferret Boy.

Dealing with too much comedy is actually the easiest one. It is to be solved by killing off characters - this is where the theme kicks in. Sadly, I did not spend much time on the GUI and thus it is easy to miss that one can tap "kill?" to kill off heroes and make the movie more dramatic.

I like the concept, with a bit more work on the GUI part and visuals it could've been a lot better. Still enjoyed it, good job

Hi :smile: I played your game on stream today, you can find the video here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/418104572?t=02h28m30s

This is why I don't make movies :D

Thanks @syrapt0r, it was quite insightful to watch someone play. If I had to revise it, I would make it clearer that there is a prognosis of upper bound/lower bound for happiness etc. The movie then puts you somewhere in between. So you can actually tell when a movie might end you.

Also the symbols should have tool tips. 💦 refers to exhaustion of the actor, for example. This is impossible to understand currently. This is not helped by having different emoji styles based on the OS and browser the player is using :sweat_smile:. Your emoji actually fit the comic book theme quite well!

I was banking on people learning through the achievements. I learned that people can play around them and check them out later, like you did. I actually do the same in, say, Steam games.

You had an extra hard time because you were not getting new heroes as you were not casting three support characters at once. While this feature is told in messages, it is not further highlit in the GUI. You merely stumbled upon this feature and did not think much of it.

Furthermore, Planetbane should be Planetsbane, I guess. :laughing:

All in all, I had fun watching you play and hope you enjoyed it.

Unfortunately I couldn't play this on mobile since the android's task bar took up the bottom two villains, but it worked just fine on desktop. I really liked the idea and it was definitely a fun and unique game, though that black and red font wasn't the easiest to look at :b

Clever game. Hard to play at first, but the difficulty decreases as you understand the mecanics. Good job !

The game is a quite hard due to rng, but I like the 'kill?' part. :smile: Produced 6 movies on my first try, got ~4 achievements :movie_camera:

I think you need to add 'Cameo' type of actors as well.

Very interesting! A nice idea and getting the achievements was fun. Well done!

@eyedromeda Indeed the zooming is a bit of a problem. The black and red font was a last ditch effort to let the clickable text look unlike the non-clickable text :)

@deformhhead @ixcon Yes, maybe I should have written that it is meant as a roguelite game. Each run you learn a bit more about the mechanics, the cast of heroes, the split between dramatic/happy etc. If I were to revise the game I would definitely add bonuses for properly introducing characters through cameos, and starting and finishing off character arcs. It could be a fun mobile game, but I will wait for the rating resonance.

@Raphiell Thank you!
