If you've played our other Ludum Dare entries then you'll know what to expect, questionable gameplay, vague connection to the theme and stupid humour. We hope you like it!
PS Press SPACE to fast forward the intro if you want.
PPS There appears to be a rare sound bug that occasionally occurs that stops the music. If you encounter it please close the game and start again please :) We'll try to fix it tonight!

I really did enjoy the graphics and the music is very good and I really also enjoy the humour and the setup for the entire game. Though this game kinda does kinda suffer from the whole "you input answer, and you get something completely different" problem but it feels like a nitpick in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, fun(ny) game, good job!
No idea who this famous rapper is supposed to be, but the last time I listened to modern music was when the BeeGees were just breaking through!
Haha. Thank you! Yep, we would have liked that too but ran out of time. We may go in and do a cheeky post jam patch for it. You can click to forward the text and press SPACE to fast forward a bit. :)
@nam-nguyen Thank you!
Not much of a game, but such a worthwile experience due to the fun writing, pleasant graphics and well-polished mechanics. Even the UI was top notch for a jam game!
Minor complaint: When you put in your rhymes, the last few lines get overlapped by the UI and you might loose context.
Keep rappin'!
Sorry for the thought dump haha
The game is hilarious and the overall style (graphics, audio) fits it very well.
On top of it, I really like the take on the theme you did here. It's a game about a serious issue and how unseriously it is being treated, one might say it's a potilical game!
But how did you... ummm.. solve the issue of copywrited songs?
unfortunetely at one time the game stopped at "His grandma Iris" but I replayed again and fortunately it was ok.
Anayway, congrat's!
Just one bug when I tried to rewriting the song and it stopped at "killing my wife" and the head bobbed forever. (I guess like drauthius's bug)
As for the copyright issue. We made the songs ourselves as a parody of the originals, which I believe comes under 'fair use' and we figured we'd just make them so stupid that even if the original artist took part in Ludum Dare and rated our game they wouldn't sue us haha.
Sorry you got that pesky bug. I keep asking @rodobodolfo to fix it but he's being stubborn! I'm glad you went through the game again though! Thanks for the review!
