Wonderful concept and use off words!

Interesting grammar game. I was able to get a silver metal praising my friend. I like the different scenarios. and animations.

Neat! A very creative puzzle game and fun too. I think a system like this would be very suitable as a mechanic for an adventure game or similar.

Nice that was fun :) Sometimes some quotes that seems like insult (to me) are unrecognized :/ (ex "You are small and stupid" ==> what ?) that's fun :)

This... this is great.

Oh crap this was fresh.
And the theme was well implemented.

Cool idea and cool implementation, I liked the scoring method very much!! :D

Very original idea!

My wish for post-compo is a two player game :).

Cool idea and quite a lot of nice possible phrases! Word-based games usually lack diversity but you've nailed it!

Very nice puzzley game, got some pretty funny sentences together, good job! :D

Lovely stuff. I was worried it would just be randomly stringing words together, but it actually had a bit more depth to it than I thought.

I think I get the game but it's just not appealing to me. I don't see a challenging mechanic. The graphics are sweet though.

This game was a lot of fun for me... I'm definitely gonna tell my friends about this ;)

The mechanics are quite interesting! The sentence builder, scoring (sarcasm! /o/) and the sentences itself are really fun!

If this game had audio, I'd be rolling even more on the ground! XD Great idea!

Great game! my insults were stupid, yet hilarious. i love the bachgrounds too.

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-04-25 19:35

Haha ! That's fun and hilarious :D Loved your interpretation of the theme and its execution. Nice job !

steboots 2015-04-26 20:43

All right, just threw out some burns, nice

thaaks 2015-04-30 16:35

Great idea to harm or praise people using words in a game! Good reflection of real life!

simianlogic 2015-04-30 19:15

Structurally it's pretty interesting but it needs a LOT more grammar units to make it feel less repetitive.

You should make the speech balloon a selectable text field so people can copy their insults and paste them down here as comments!

iceburg7 2015-05-01 19:18

This was great! The engine is smart enough that combining words is a lot of fun!

eddynardo 2015-05-04 19:39

Very nice job with the phrace mechanics!I really liked how the game didnt let you chose whatever word you want.Really innovative idea.

mrodrigues 2015-05-05 18:09

I'm LMFAO! Excellent job, loved it, 5 stars! The options available to the player and the feedback to his/her actions is perfect, there's nothing to add. I'm curious about the score engine, which data structure did you use to represent the connections between different words/sentences? I'm specially curious about the sarcasm mechanic! :)

crazyal02 2015-05-06 13:13

Fun concept! I'd love to see a competitive mode in a post-compo version.

Cool concept, reminded me of the Monkey Island insults battles ^^ It was not easy though, but it's all right.
