Really intriguing game. Not more than that though.

Pretty cool but when i scroll down the whole damn page scrolls down with it which makes it unplayable for more than just a bit.

cameron-taylor 2017-12-07 18:38

@digitalfudge , oof yeah, I think I added it so that you can scroll with arrow keys, but the mouse wheel is a hassle on webpages

Nice idea, we were playing with a similar idea at first (the more fame you have etc.), when we were juggling ideas.

@cameron-taylor Thinking about it now, I think maybe replacing the "Create" button with some sort of creative activity - could be as easy as choosing different options for a "video" you're creating, or just letting the player draw something - would have made the game more immersive. What do you think?

I had a smile the whole time I was playing this-- it is such a great abstraction of the whole online creative experience. You start off creating crap and only get better with experience. But no matter how good the quality of content you still have to deal with trolls, spam, and just general rudeness. By reducing that down to such a simple game it really makes a strong point. Great job!

@lexi I decided to go with a vague, create, to let it relate to pretty much anyone who creates stuff online. I did have an idea of having little minigames like that too, but oopsies ran outta time heheh.

#relatable. Loved the concept fun game :-)

I really like the concept here, but there's not much else to it. Which I suppose is the point. Interesting entry.

Super cool idea, and I think the minimalist graphics really work. Very soothing music that contrasted well with what was happening. I really loved "u r a fudging bastard."

This was a really interesting concept. Well done.

This was the most innovative use of the theme I have seen. Congratulations!

alexrose 2017-12-28 04:00

Was amusing, and somewhat accurate.

monika 2017-12-28 09:02

No joke, this is my favorite take on the theme so far. I might have to go back to all the other games I've rated and knock them down on theme to make room for your score.

Interesting idea! Wasn't expecting a clicker, this was a nice simple little game. Good submission! :smile:

I really like this! There's really not much to say that hasn't already been said other than that something about being called a racist by Edd Gould is really amusing to me

Graphics are exactly what they need to be, the mood is amazing with the soft background music, good interpretation of the theme. I know this isn't as much of a game as it is an experience and this works well in many areas but unfortunately not in the fun category. GJ!

Sorry, can't let a quality review, don't have enough time, just want to help to get out of danger zone. Overall i think game is good, keep going. Happy Holidays.
