10/10, would stream again (on a fresh account obviously)
the card mechanics is very good
good job ;)
If the timer is there I think a more obvious display of key metrics (hype, viewers etc) would be beneficial, I didnt really pay attention to them much as I was focusing on the cards. (If there is no turn timer this is not an issue though)
The donations and use of google text to speech was a great addition.
Quite enjoyable. Well done
Seriously this is a fun game, the little jokes are good, and I got a rickrol donation so i'm happy ahah!
I found myself getting into a sort of "flow" while playing. I like the way it plays out; personally I think I would prefer to play it without the time element and have it more turn based, but it does add an element of tension. I was desperately trying to maintain my hype but in the space of about two turns ended up boring everyone!
I like the respresntation of streamer culture; there's defintely room to expand on the satire side of things (which would help with an increase in available cards in the deck), but overall it was a nice little management sim and the music loop was fitting and non-repetitive which is essential for a game like this. Only other thing I would add is a menu to quit out of the application, but I had good fun with this. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your entry and feedback!
