I really like the idea and i'd love to see a fuller version, I really think you could do a lot with this concept!

The Game is amazing!! Loved it! But it really doesn´t have nothing to do with the theme...

xinmone 2018-08-12 23:18

Couldn't get it to load, just a brown screen :(

brettschiff 2018-08-12 23:19

Awesome idea, it's a bit easy when both players try in its current state, but the concept is fun

Great! Fun, simple idea with nice minimalist graphics. Well done overall!

@xinmone Can you open DevTools (press F12) and see if the console tab shows any errors or anything? Also can you let me know what browser/OS you're using? Sounds like the websocket didn't connect properly.

Oh my god this is so funny, just played it with a friend! Cool concept, would build on it more.

Looks like fun! Unfortunately I don't have anyone to play with right now. I'll try to check it out tomorrow!

Interesting idea! Now I gotta get a buddy online to give it a go. Just reading the initial instructions screen, it sounds like it's going to be quite interesting.

Simple concept but fun to play. Very interesting idea.

Art is great and the concept is really good.

devio 2018-08-13 15:52

Absolutely outstanding! The simpleness mixed with the addictive fun nature of this game was perfect and could go a VERY long way if you continued with this! Good job! Although the theme is not apparent for both of the players! KEEP IT UP :D

I really enjoyed this cooperative experience, the theme running out of space comes when the other person has a limited amount of characters to describe the target. The graphics were clean and simple. The audio was minimalistic but did the job, not sure if any more sfx were needed. I loved the fact it was an interesting co-op game.

Cool game. Played this on stream with @devio and had a good time with it.

The graphics are nice and even though describing colors was a simple hack in the beginning as soon as you're running out of space to type and get unlucky combination of targets it gets really tricky.

The game could really benefit from a more diverse cast of accessoires or other things to make the characters stand out. Similar to how [Guess Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who%3F) does it.

It can be challenging to find a second player for a game jam game, but I think this one is absolutely worth it. It's fund describing characters and received their descriptions to make one final solutions. I also decided to deliberately disobey the orders once, which made me chuckle. Nice job.

erebus 2018-08-14 02:43

Great game! Thanks for bringing it by the stream.

Nice game it was fun playing with myself :joy: I'm guessing the theme comes in when the other player is describing the enemy. It doesn't have an effect on the gameplay, the people look too different for them to be hard to be distinguished.

mathiouza 2018-08-14 13:11

Really fun idea x)) I had no friend to play with, but be sure I will retry when someone will come ^^

Keep coding :)

nick-rafalski 2018-08-14 16:04

This was fun! It got pretty hard when the possible targets became more similar. The space constraint required us to come up with a short-hand for describing the target; very emergent! Nice work!

star-garden 2018-08-14 19:23

Wow, what an awesome idea for the jam. The theme is really strong, and the multiplayer element is really smart.

william-akins 2018-08-17 01:40

Brilliant little game, played it with a friend on my live stream the other day and we really did have a blast. The only real suggestion I have is having the colours of the clothes even more dynamic by having their RGB values modified randomly by code.

alexrose 2018-08-17 15:27

Really cool idea, played with a streamer. It reminds me a bit of Spyfall/jackbox.tv mixed with Guess Who. We won first time when I was the describer!

Simple but really done well, nice job.

dominic-graziano 2018-08-31 04:36

this was really fun, played it live on a stream with someone else, we kicked ass.

jordantanner 2018-08-31 04:52

My girlfriend and I had a fun time playing this little game together. Interesting idea-- it really tested our communication abilities. :)

shrekshao 2018-09-05 03:37

Hahah really fun idea. when I try to cheat using Chinese character, enter just doesn't work.... so sad
