Nice concept. The hints are helpful.

But for some reason the text is really small on my device. It's a tiny thing in the corner.

@zuf I guess I've chosen a darn small font. Are you on mobile?

zuf 2019-10-07 12:44

I was playing on a laptop (Chrome on Mac). Notably, if I zoom the page in or out the text stays the same size but everything else gets bigger/smaller as expected.

@zuf fixed, thanks

Feels cool and interesting as a word guessing game, no doubt it fits the theme!

A nice guessing game. Most of the objects were easy to get with the hints, but it was odd having to guess two different things that are basically the same thing. Art was cute, I would have given a good humor score! It functions well, so its a good place to start with a text game. Nice job!

Original gameplay :-)

The hints were a perfect balance, nice job.

This is good! I got pretty far—13 or 15 I think?—but I kinda got stuck after that. Kept looking for something around “field” or “crops”, but no luck. Still, it’s a well-executed concept, and the art’s better than you’re giving yourself credit for. :wink: Nice work.

Going into it I though it would be harder because I wouldn't know which synonym to use, but you managed to make it easy enough to be possible and fun (even though I only managed ~12). Good work!

Cool idea, I like how it looks. The hints were really useful too.

"whatch your mouth" lolllll this is a really interesting game !

Cool game, it certainty has a unique style. It really fits the theme well, I enjoyed seeing the picture build up from nothing. I did get stuck at one point because I had to put in one word before a bunch of others. I typed in several and nothing happened, it may have been nice to get some feedback along the lines of “you need something to build that on”. The font for the console was so small that some letters were missing vertical lines before I zoomed in, but that is how consoles are sometimes. I killed some of the Easter eggs that were responses to certain words, like your name. Cool game jam game.

Nice submission! It's very simple and putting the picture together is very nice. I think it could use some music and maybe more hints to make it a little easier, but other than that, nice job!

This is fun, but I just got shouted at to go to sleep, so I have to end here.

This'd be cool if you fed the evolving picture into something like they deep-dream python library to gradually eveolve the line drawings from one to another.

Like this thing that takes line drawings and turns them into cats .. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a25344/draw-your-own-nightmare-cats-with-this-ai-program/

I liked building the picture by guessing words. I couldn't figure out what to do for "I'm hungry".

coda-highland 2019-10-21 14:14

@mahalis Where do you grow crops? What is a field part of?

This was an interesting little diversion. I haven't encountered a game like this before.

derek-volker 2019-10-21 16:49

Well, you nailed the theme i guess. Its fun for a concept, and also pretty funny guessing words game.
