This is a very interesting take on both themes! And an interesting kind of game! The effort put into the dialog makes every click worth it!

This is a very interesting take on both themes! And an interesting kind of game! The effort put into the dialog makes every click worth it!
Very interesting concept, though it seemed based heavily on chance (maybe I'm just bad). Nice graphics though, and amusing satire on LPers.
This game is more or less my life. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/aHYNcWsg9Wg
Fun and funny!
Cthulhu game overed me every time haha :D
Good job!
(Although I'm not sure if I really had a choice or if this was all random)
Perfect! But Cthulhu fans take all my money to their fan-club. Maybe I shouldn't review every crappy game :o)
Hey guys, you are awesome! Balance fix uploaded, now Cthulhu is not so angry!
The game has a very clever idea, amazing art and great audio.
Great, great job! :)
A really great game. I'm espacially loving the twitter button that actually let's you tweet about it.
Lovely art style. Well done. :)
Really fun game, relaxing but immersive. You've exploited themes like a boss. Graphics are SO COOL, along with music. Really nice !
Interesting idea, although I'm not sure I understand what made a good vs bad game - luck? Nice graphics.
Fun game :) love all the humour inside haha.
Little helper: Good project if you've realise that project Genre, Name and Author sounds familiar as a popular real-existing game. Bad project - if don't. Sometimes unknown indie developer making good projects too :)
Very funny, reminds me game dev story a little bit.
Athmosheric and strange)
Perhaps some body animation of character should be replaced - i mean he plays games (not porn) - but it's just my opinion)
The art is great! But I wish it was more strategic.
Great art style and interesting idea but the simple gameplay feels too random for me. Sure I can guess games from the name but that often don't work that well and then you suddenly get some mail where you are forced to pay money and it is over. The writing is really nice though and it is fun to guess games.
Overall a good game Great job!
The idea is interesting, but I could not understand the game, since apparently, the options are very limited.
Nice and innovative interpretation of the theme. However it seems too long and unrewarding for me. Either you get which game and is presented to you or you don't. There is no reveal when you guess wrong so you there is no aha effect. I reached 100,000 subs and quit because the game became tedious.
But I still like the idea and execution. Very nice art!
Cool art style and funny emails, nice work.
Fun game! I really liked the writing, it was funny. The game looked great as well! I couldn't really figure out what made a game good or not, but still very impressive game. :)
Great Art, smart idea, fun game! Awesome job!
Zillions tons of sorry guys, the game is not random, just not well tested balance :( Hope we'll fix it someday!
Very fun, super creative idea. My only issue is that when I got to 1 million, nothing happened! Maybe a message didn't get triggered or something. Either way, I still enjoyed it a lot. Good job!
Sound of subscribers made my laughing! good game! Nice reading of theme "growing"
Pssst - You've been featured on today's Ludum Dare to Believe! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E44U-Zq5y_A
Very nice graphics, humour and mood. Although the gameplay is a bit basic, it is very funny to play. :)
Amazing graphics and innovative concept :D
the graphics are really nice in this, and the gameplay mechanic seemed unique.
good job :)
Pretty awesome take on the theme guys! Very well executed too. Bonus points for Lord Cthulhu!
Love the visuals and the sound effects! After a while, I just kept playing everything. :P
just GOTY
Really nice game, fun to play however it just seems a bit random as to if games will do well or not
Thanks guys. Nope, it's not random, please read tutorial carefully :)
Interesting idea but it wasn't obvious whether the game you play was going to be good or bad and randomly,I got -subs.
No HL3 for me :/
Enjoyed your game!
I hate you for cancelling Half Life 3!
Beat the game after 54 days.
Poor Samantha...
...but if she had tried Speecher she would had fun.
That was really a good game! Really nice drawings and a super cool idea! :D nice done
Cool concept and art... I knew the music would be fun.
I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to play Hack Life 3.
Hack Life 3 was canceled because of me & you dude :(
This was one of my favorite games of this LD. Overall, it was very good! It would have been nice to have other options to help grow my channel, or offering a trade-off with going to sleep vs staying awake to play more. The game is funny and the art is great, but I was frustrated by the inability to determine which games were worth playing. From day 2-5, every game I played (or when I didn't play) lost subscribers.
Interesting idea, great graphics and audio.
The rules are tricky to figure out also a lot of referential humor.
The left field use of the theme is awesome and I love your twist on it. The art and audio are lovely.
Pretty cool idea. I was hopeless at figuring out what was being referenced though. Art is great, sounds are fun, and it all works well together. Good game!
This is very clever. If this truly isnt random then I suspect you had alot you wanted to say about the game industry and youtube culture and got to express alot of it here in satire form. Cool idea, but I felt like I was just picking what fake game I would want to play (which was fun) but if there was a strategy here I didn't get it.
I laughed pretty hard though when the MOBA came up and all the people playing looked super pissed.
Thought this game was really humourous but I have completely no idea what names "sounds" like what other "names".
Loved the references to both youtubers and games. Would of loved to see twitter management and Reddit AMA interviews. Also a minigame during the making of the youtube videos would of been nice. Such as picking an emotion to display before each video. Such as scared for horror, excited for action and sadness for MOBA...
Cool idea and really nice looking graphics. A bit too monotone to reach the 1 million subscribers, though. I stopped playing at 330000 subscribers when there was a sequence of 5-6 fake games which was really annoying, since you don't have any advantages by telling the fake games from the real ones.
Art and animations super nice. Good mood. I think I have sat here playing this longer than any game so far. Would have loved some additional movement from the character in between gaming. I would definitely play again, especially when there is more interaction for more of the daily routine. Like choosing the right pic for instapanaram. ha
I did not understand how to make a choice (actually, i don't know if it has sense) and the game was a little repetitive though.
But i finished it, and the multiple references get me to like this !
Lovedd the age of empire 2 audio reference btw !
Oh Yes ! I did it ! I'm an internet star ! And single, too. XD
Fun and surprisingly challenging game, well done !
deliciously meta and nice art/polish :)
A great, original idea. Very well made!
good looking
Awesome game! I loved the Half-Life Joke!
Really nice job!
A nice take on the theme. :) Didn't really like the "bro-talk" (or whatever it's called).
Guessing game titles and dev studios can be difficult ;)
Well made game with everything in its place!
This is so fun, well done, great graphics, sound design is hilarious, concept interesting. I only have good things to say about this game! :D
Really funny game ;) Great job!
You say the game isn't random, but it is biased. The guessing game of if you think the game was good and if the game title or author are real or parody isn't easy.
The character also constantly complains about being tired, so I tested doing nothing and he still complains.
Great art and music! Original take on the theme also
Aaranos, not OR but AND. So it's not about guessing Title OR Author OR Genre, it's about matching Title AND Author AND Genre :) Thank you for the feedback !
Great game. Seemed to take me ages to really make progress. Good art too. Well done.
Cool game! I am interested to know how you came up with this concept, enjoyed playing it. Nicely done.
"Not sure that you are reading this, but you may want to review the new hot and sexy Puzzle called Glands and Boobies from Bobcap Games?"
Whelp.
This game amused me for much longer than I expected it to...hahaha.
Very interesting to make a sort of video game trivia competition out of a Let's Play theme, but hey... it's kinda fun! The references were a bit off for me half the time, mainly with the developer, but I could guess pretty regularly based on the game name and genre.
Looks and sounds great too, nice work.
Nice entry! I was just so sad I could not try hack life 3 and that I lost my gf in the end ^^ I really like the graphics and the mood! Good job ;)
Theming is spot on, the graphics are fitting, sounds are a bit meh at times (or maybe I just don't like random non-word sounds) and the game is fun. Another critisism I have would be that the jumps in "amount of subscribers per video" was a bit jarring. I'd prefer the amount increase subtly over time, rather than going up in magnitudes every now and then. Overall, the game is very enjoyable and simple (in a good way)!
Great graphics! Excellent music and sounds. Really like the idea. Maybe more options of things to do would be nice, but then it wouldn't be two button controls. A lot of fun, and good humour. I got 1 million subs! woo!
I'm a fan of management clicker games (such as Game Dev Tycoon), so I found this game quite fun. The concept is brilliant, and I'd definitely like to see more games in a similar vein (Social Media Management Simulation).
My only disappointments came from the inability to save (which is to be expected from a Ludum Dare entry), and that I was often confused as to what the 'audience' wanted to see.
I had fun, and would consider buying into a full release. :D
Great art and music, thought while fun at first, it got boring after a while. Got to ~400k subs before I got tired of playing. Great game overall though!
This is na interesting game, but I found a little repetitive after a while. I love the visual and audio presentation, and I believe you did an amazing job on that front.
As someone who runs a small let's play channel I got a good laugh out of this. Some of those games are tough to guess! What really cracks me up is that dudebro can afford a mixer, but seems to still be using a $3 mic from the mid 90's. I think a bit of a longer music loop wouldn't have gone amiss, but other than that great job!
Excellent game! The writing and humor was great, and the gameplay was very addictive!
Interesting..but I don't lose subs by not uploading! xD I mad bro. I'm seriously upset that it doesn't make any sense, but I also love it. xD
Wow, what a fantastic art work for a dare. Great audio as well. I'm not sure about the gameplay though, but maybe that's because I'm bad at it :)
Nice, idea, but it was a bit too static and unlogical...It got kind of boring very quickly, simple because this was a text based game, but appeared to have a visual style that didn't go anywhere.
