Oh well done :p Clicking on text is hard as it turns out, I have a newfound respect for PoV.

It's an interesting idea. I couldn't load it on a computer so I played it on my iPod, which was weird. xD

It would've been interesting if I had to write the responses and the game looked for key words in them, because after the beginning I just spam tapped reply on everything and couldn't read the text. Still a good game for 4 hours! :D

I was too slow... dammit all those things that need replying! Good job considering you did this in 4 hours! :) Are those actual quotes from people or did you write them? Hard to tell the difference between reality and satire sometimes...

It's really fun, it makes me think about the real pressure support people do get :P, nice games, I thought it's easy when the first window showed up, but then got the IRC and Email windows :joy:

I played on stream, _(VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/164456874)_ so you were able to watch a lot of thoughts live as I played. However I _**promised**_ I would come back to rate and give feedback. Any questions/comments use [@timbeaudet on twitter](https://www.twitter.com/timbeaudet). And **finally** a link to _my_ game if you wanted to check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/edrive

Feedback:

This was quite interesting. My first time playing I had a score of 2 replies in 23 seconds because I was busy trying to read. I forget what I managed the second time around, but I was still trying to keep up with skimming things for awhile, until the second window appeared, and then I gave up and started just clicking reply while looking between the lines. Quickly it escalated to a point that I had to really focus on clicking. Thankfully those hit areas were discolored blue. I loved the twiddler name.

My hand started aching a fair bit but I was able to keep up with it. I did managed for quite awhile. I am not sure the text really counts as graphics but it was effective for what you were going for.

Pretty interesting, especially for 4 hours of effort!

Played it a bit back and really enjoyed it. It's not like a huge game with complicated graphics or anything, but it's very funny and enjoyable.

We streamed your game with Danae plays on Twitch. :) Here's a link:

What can I say :) It's a nice little clicker game, the texts are funny, but I wish I had more time to read them (they could stay on screen after I lose). Good job for such a short time. Amazing graphics!
