It was pretty fun, but I wasn't sure if I was playing it right. I think it's a great idea for a game though and liked the little bits of art and text in all the posts.

Nice graphic and chill bit!

I really enjoyed playing this! It definitely started to get stressful, but I liked the artwork. Well done!

Really liked the concept, great art and music. It wasn't clear to me if I was dying because I wasn't resting or I was getting the wrong answer. Also purchasing things didn't seem to work? Or maybe I was looking at the wrong thing? Either way, had fun, great job.

Very good RP game, reminds me of "Paper please". Very well done. Very good atmosphere. I had to wait a while to understand how it works and the fact that you lose life regularly, but after a few games it's good. Good Job ! :)

That's a unique game for sure. Took me a few rounds to get the hang of it (and I'm still not sure, if I'm doing it right). The art is very nice and the messages are funny, good job! :D

Agreed with others here that it's a good take on the theme and a fun concept to base a game around. Lots of opportunities for humor, interesting interactions and entertaining content. Really enjoyed it!

Awesome game. I only have a few gripes. I just think the game takes a bit too long to get going and I'm not really a fan of the cup and blink covering the entire screen. I really enjoyed the story bits near the end though. That was definitely not expected. I also found the advertisements funny. I never thought I'd see a gun with balls.

Mood and artstyle on point. Would be a cool mobile game i think.
Also a good thing that you included increasing difficulty.

I like how you all approached the theme! The damage visual effect took me out of the game a bit, but I could see what you all were trying to do with it. Keeping track of everything while looking through all the posts was a challenge. The difficulty curve did roll off once the posts started to repeat, but I did have a great time trying out your game! Would be super down to play it again with a larger database of "posts"!

That was awesome. Really gripping theme and content, kept me playing to see how the story unfolded. The game itself also feels really polished, and I was impressed with small details like being able to minimize the moderator window. Definitely one of the strongest entries I've seen so far.

Very cool unique idea, and well made (although I would've liked hotkeys for approving/denying posts too). The large amount of content is cool too. I eventually reached a screen saying "I am at your door" - (not sure if that means I won or lost :P the checkmark and x buttons on that screen didnt seem to do anything) Good job!

This was quite a fun game. The graphics and sound were really nice and fitting. I found it a bit tediuos after a while. Constantly checking the personal needs is quite stressful, when you do not know when it ends. I would have liked a level system where you have to moderate X amount of posts. That would give the player some breathing room from time to time. However, the amount of content ist quite impressive. So, all in all very solid entry :)

Horny 100, super nice sound effects and graphics!! Smooth transitions, love the needy streamer overload vibes (if it's referenced);D cute game!!

Awesome game, I like how you managed to tell an overarching story through the game that was possible to follow despite how stressfull it was. Great graphics and nice balancing on the gameplay speed, stressfull but not too stressfull. I would have liked a sound effect to tell if I made the right moderation decision though (if there was I must have missed it). Great game! :D

"How to use Coroutines?" Also I recognized that youtube link! :laughing:

Very nice, I would've liked to know if I was doing the right decisions as well, but overall the amount of content and polish you all managed to put in is impressive! I don't know if there is an end, apparently there is? I got up to managing 4 stickers but died of brain damage before anything happened I think. Difficulty curve is good though!

Also some posts are mad funny

Interesting idea. The instruction panel disappeared way too fast to read it all so I had no Idea what I was doing.
It would have been better to delay the timers until you actually start doing stuff to allow time to figure things out.

Your web link is not clickable - probably needs the http://

Hilariously dark and painfully relatable, this game has its own unique vibe with all the art and narrative cynically and playfully reflecting an essential part of our internet culture. The growing tension building toward the ending twist is rather effective and adds meaning to the seemingly repetitive player actions. Really wish we could have more time to stop and read some of the really interesting posts but I guess that's what makes the game replayable ;)

Absolutely love the pixel art and animation. I wish there was more time to read things and the blinking and hurt visual are neat visually but it makes it hard to read. Great job.
