Well that was an... interesting game :P Graphics are surprisingly nice, especially the smooth walking and slapping animation surprised me, good job to your graphics person. Nothing to say about the gameplay as this is a meme game, got a chuckle out of me. I honestly think this could be an interesting concept, a dialogue game where the outcome is inevitable but that obviously needs a lot of writing.

What an idea :D The score is always the same(11, from the runs i made). Some more dialogue options would be good.

@noirox Thanks. I've updated everything and made gameplay more interesting with Viewership(audience) so you could check it out again if you want

To be be honest, I was not impressed and had a long list of suggestions for you. But then I played the "final version" and it seems you folks had a very good perception of what needed to be improved most! Iterating and improving on what needs most improvement is, IMHO, _the_ way to make a game (or anything, really) great, so I guess you are on the right track!

To me, the next step to improve even further (from the final version) would be to make the game flow more smoothly. I mean, I didn't like that pause/wait after each thing I said. I guess you already feel this was not nice because you added a skip button already -- but there must some way to improve the game flow, to make it feel more continuous. (Not I am expressing well my point.)

Folks, please take this as a constructive comment! I think you are doing the iteration dance right, and this is the most important thing in the long run! Keep improving!

Nice. I knew someone would make a game about this Lol. The concept is cool, but the gameplay can get a bit repetitive (it's also kinda easy). But the 3d models look/animations look great.

EDIT: I played the final version, and it was a lot better. My only bit of feedback with that is that it's really hard to tell which joke will do what. But I guess that's just what it's like being a comedian Lol.

Hilarious. The animations are really funny and well-made. I like when you make a joke about Was Smith, but he laughs and gestures as if he's saying "yeah, you got me good".

Cool idea, the PSX style graphics are nice. Would like to see a little more strategy in the dialogue choices.

My only feed back is that the window of time to choose my dialogue option was too small that's all.

I have to be honest, the game jam version isn't particulary intesting to me.
The idea is very good ! The graphics are cute as well. But it gets boring very quickly.

With that said : I also played the post jam version and oh wow what an improvment ! Really great job on that ! The music suits well, I love the reactions and those stupids "reh re ra roo roo" from the presentator :laughing:
Very well done for the post jam version, really ! I just wish there were a little bit more time to just even read the possible answers.

Keep up the good work :smile: !

Ps : don't put an exit button on a HTML game :laughing:

Cool! That was a nice one! Nice graphics! Audio would have been nice aswell, great oppurtunity for some voice acting. Overall great job, hope you had a fun jam:D

Played the game jam version, was pretty confused about what I was supposed to do. Played around with it for a bit but still couldn't really figure it out... It was either talk for an eternity or get punched. From reading the comments it seems like you guys really improved the game for the post jam version, so congrats on that!

Wow, the Internet is fast. Now there's even a playable version of the meme heheh

Interesting concept of balancing the audience and Was Smith's temper.

If you can, please release a Windows version, my potato computer couldn't run it on the browser.

(technically it could, but the game became a slideshow presentation)
