Play peggle, write jokes, get booed!
A recipe for a good joke contains setup, punchline, and, of course, delivery. In our game you'll get the setup, but can you come up with a good punchline and deliver it?
Master bouncy ball, unlock letters, come up with a good punch line and captivate the audience!
Share your best jokes with us in the comments!
The game utilizes GPT-4 API to rate the jokes. Even though we've spent considerable amount of time adjusting the prompts to get appropriate responses, due to the model's nature it's still possible that your good jokes won't be rated highly. So don't get discouraged, you might still have a chance to become a comedian for a live human audience!
Because of the API usage the game requires internet connection for the best experience.

To comply with GPT-4 API terms of use and for internal analytics we store the following data: joke setup, punchline, game level, unlocked letters, rating and game session ID. We don't store any sensitive data or other personally identifiable information. By playing our game, you consent to this data collection and usage.

Peggle game works without flaw, although after writing my bad punchlines there was always an error when connecting to server. Shame this part of the game didn't work as intended. Curious how is the punchline rated on the server.
In any case, well done!
Very fun spin on having to make joke delivery and peggle, though it is really hard to think of good jokes, mostly got 4/10, but still very fun.
art also are satisfyed
Level design was also good and kept things fresh, but unfortunately I ended up softlocked at this part:

Moreover, I usually expect the game to make jokes for me, not the other way around: I don't get happy neurons activations when I joke "into the robotic void" :D
The peggle part was pretty fun and worked flawlessly, though, props to the team!
Really well executed, it felt polished there was a satisfying scoring build up and finish, and it was fun to play!
Excellent concept and really nice execution 👍
BTW, for some reason it gave me 75 out of 10 once:

Oh, also you may add a notice about the computer time on the description (I couldn't play it properly before because my PC time was wrong, now on the laptop with the correct time it's working just fine)
PS: Got a score of 54 :-)
I understand the need to add some gameplay with the minigame but it was kinda frustrating (especially for non native like me) to be bereft of some letters, it was hard enough to try to find a joke in another language ! And also for me the music was really stressful (thanks for putting a shutdown button <3). Overall, had fun playing this and again, very innovative !
The art was good too, the audience reactions were especially funny.
Interesting game!
