Idle Twit by Josh Aaron Miller
Social media is the worst kind of idle game. 🐦🎮
HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS 🐦
- Interact with Twits and write your own to gain Peeps and Eggplants
- Gaining Peeps makes it easier to gain more Peeps and Eggplants
HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA 📱
- Clicking the Graffiti button comments on a Twit
- Clicking the Echo button re-Twits that Twit
- Clicking the Eggplant button upvotes that Twit
- Writing in the Scratch Box will post Twits
TIPS FOR EARNING PEEPS ❤️ - Everyone loves Graffiti (but don't Graffiti your own Twits, that's just lame!) - Echoing popular Twits will make you seem cool! (But who echoes their own Twits?) - SMASH that Eggplant button and maybe the user who posted that Twit will be your Peep!
FAQ
Am I doing it right? I've been playing for a while and I have 1 peep and a handful of Eggplants.
This is an idle game - making friends takes a while. Try earning 100 Eggplants, maybe that will get more Peeps to show up! But even if you don't want to grind that much, however long you spend in the Twitverse, thanks for playing! <3
WARNING
This game may cause: fatigue, boredom, frustration, confusion, feelings of powerlessness, lack of agency, addiction, and in some cases death. Do not use Idle Twit if you are pregnant or nursing, or optimistic, impatient, or easily attached. Ask your doctor if social media is right for you.

I was initially confused as it took a little while for Twits to begin showing up. Soon afterwards Twits came rolling in at a slightly overwhelming pace. I think the pacing could've been improved in this regard.
I would've loved to see better feedback. The player can Eggplant, post Twits, graffiti and re-Twit as often as they like. Suppose that the player gains or loses Peeps/Eggplants - it's really tough to pinpoint what action was responsible for that change (even with the added explanation). It's difficult to feel in control of what's going on.
I like the music and the art style going on, and this is a perfect fit for the theme...
However, real Twitter is easier to play.
LMAO in all seriousness though, I understand the concept, and I think it's pretty clever and nice! There are a lot of different twits to discover, and the sound is pretty nice too! Nice work!
