I really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere made by the music and artwork are really cool. I love that it's Twitch compatible, I can see this being really fun for viewers and streamers to play with their streams. It's witty and charming. Instafluff, MaayaInsane, and PatrikHerman did a great job.

Game very good !!! I really enjoyed the art of the game !!! The mood of Cyberpunk! ^^ Password guessing gameplay made me tense at stage 09 eheheh

This is very intense, love the aesthetics, the music and the art is very cohesive great work!

Very funny game to play with a whole chat!

I love these kinda games. A simple concept that is great fun with a crowd. And the passwords were tough. Triple extra points for aesthetics and music. The mood was on point in this game.

That was fun!

really cool to see a stream integrated game come out of LD. With a curated word list, this isn't far off a totally legit full-release game. Very cool!

Really a lot of fun to play on stream, well done! It would be nice to see who did guess the word in the end or even have some kind of leaderboard in each round that shows who guessed the most words. That would never be me since Im terrible at guessing words which Im just gonna blame on the words. There is no pawsible way they are real words. Its interesting that no one tried to cheat and just type in all letters (if that is even Pawsible)

(From ElysiaGriffin's chat.) I'm in awe of the functionality of the game--and am always in love with detective/crime/hacker aesthetics. Plus the knowledge it's cats, it's almost too much. Truly beautiful.

It was a ton of fun. I do wish we got some kind of definition for the words after they're guessed, because yay English (and it would help with lowering the feeling of "that's not a real word! deception!"). As well as it being cool if you said who guessed the full thing first.

And yes, we did glitch the game (by guessing the word right as the timer ran out?) and got to the win that way.

Lovely artwork, great music and a fun game engine -- amazing to pull it together with such a cohesive feel in such a short period of time. Nice work team!

From elysiagriffin's chat, this is a very interesting game. Love how everyone is trying to work together to complete it, that's really cool :smile: One thing I would maybe consider adding is the person that got the word right to the screen, and ultimate keep some kind of score system.

The graphics and music are amazing! Love the cyberpunk style! The timer constantly counting down really starts to put the pressure on the later levels, really nice entry!!

Intense.

The hints make it maybe a little too easy, but it's a fantastic little twitch game

Very funny and interesting game! I really liked how it forces a group of silent people to start talking. :D (From ElysiaGriffin's chat)

Really nice little game. And really awesome music. The game was a bit hard for me, but I figured a way to cheat :D

Great visuals and music. Good concept for a puzzle game.

jam373 2019-10-12 15:01

Wow this is great, the art and sound just drip style, and the puzzles were actually really fun and quite tough!

Super intense but super funny! Feel like I learnt a lot on my journey through the game as I had no idea r was 50 in roman numerial! Great music and even without the background, I can imagine the graphics being some kind of background for a vapor wave themed lofi video! Only critique is that it became very tempted to just spam buttons if I didn't understand the clues, other than that, this a brilliant game!

Hey, just to let you know I’ve been making Ludum Dare 45 gameplay videos and I’ve put your game in my video! You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuH6eYQ45lg

Had a lot of fun playing this when I caught some of the streams! It really makes good use of that very particular medium by making it a really exciting race between chatters! Really nice presentation too. It could have literally just been the letters and the hints as text and it would still have been a lot of fun, but you went all the way with great graphics and audio and even a silly little story. Learnt a bunch of obscure words too as I went to look up every word I had never heard before. Really well done!
