Need a link to the actual game dude :)

chrispugh 2013-08-26 16:42

Thanks! It's a web game so I only filled in the "web" link, which caused nothing to show up. Fixed now.

Superb idea! Loved the twist at the end.

Interesting - I like the use of the subreddit

Mutant raccoon virus? Oh noes!

I found it Hilarious and Awesome Idea with the speech. I submitted "What do i Do?" and it Made me ROFL. Then the Idea of looking at other peoples was Genius!

brogrammers 2013-08-27 07:54

looooved the concept! I wanted to do a text game too, but I didn't know how to make it coherent with the theme - you totally did it right.

Perhaps a longer pause before the 10 seconds starts just for the slower readers? I didn't finish reading so I refreshed the page, which kind of changed the effect on me, but man do I LOVE this!

@Shmarah, Thanks for the feedback. Done! And thanks to everyone else who's played the game so far.

Nice idea. I do not like text games, but I can say this one is good :)

pinktreeleaf 2013-08-28 19:47

short but unique. nice reddit integration.

kunonooni 2013-08-30 15:16

Interesting idea and concept. :)

Interesting concept. It makes sense to only have 10 seconds to write our plea.

What doesn't make sense, however, is that we have no time at all to prepare our speech before stepping on the podium. Aren't we supposed to have waited nervously in line for four hours? Why not use that time to prepare an excellent speech?

Brilliant!

Wow, such a great and well thought-out experiment! Hopefully you'll get quite some votes in the subreddit, and will be able to offer interesting conclusions. Stressful in any case :D

Your source code link isn't really a source code link if the files can't be downloaded. I was going to try to play this offline. :(

This game definitely serves for a dark mood - seeing as it is text-only, it's quite something. Most of the categories can't really be rated... Graphics and Audio aren't really existing.
Awesome idea to collect all the entries ^_^
10 seconds to think and type was a bit too short for me, I didn't really get I what was expecting me (which I probably would have, if I've *really* been in that situation)
But hey, I'd go for the mutant racoon virus rather than immediate death :D

snoringfrog 2013-09-10 03:07

Wow. Kinda figured out what was coming and I completely biffed it. Nicely done.

Not really a game, but a pretty great experience nonetheless.

By far the best part was
