vicious tweets bro
^^^
This looks like a fun idle game but I'm having a hard time grasping how to play. I currently have 1 duck and 3 eggplants but not sure how to get more or what to click on (currently using a bruteforce approach). Could you add some explanation in your notes?
Love the chill music and UI though. Some of those tweets are pretty awesome :)
Thanks for the feedback @karlipoppins! Added explanations now. Here they are again for anyone checking the comments:
HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS - Interact with Twits and write your own to gain Peeps and Eggplants - Gaining Peeps makes it easier to gain more Peeps and Eggplants
HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA - Clicking the Graffiti button comments on a Twit - Clicking the Echo button re-Twits that Twit - Clicking the Eggplant button upvotes that Twit Writing in the Scratch Box will post Twits
TIPS FOR EARNING PEEPS - Everyone loves Graffiti (but don’t Graffiti your own Twits, that’s just lame!) - Echoing popular Twits will make you seem cool! - SMASH that Eggplant button and maybe the user who posted that Twit will be your Peep!
Wow what a funny, whimsical concept!
I was initially confused as it took a little while for Twits to begin showing up. Soon afterwards Twits came rolling in at a slightly overwhelming pace. I think the pacing could've been improved in this regard.
I would've loved to see better feedback. The player can Eggplant, post Twits, graffiti and re-Twit as often as they like. Suppose that the player gains or loses Peeps/Eggplants - it's really tough to pinpoint what action was responsible for that change (even with the added explanation). It's difficult to feel in control of what's going on.
Ahaha, this is hilarious and well put together. "Just had kids!" -> "So last year" hahha
@corrade Thanks! Yeah, it was hard to design feedback for this because I was trying to mimic certain experiences of social media (i.e. never sure what's going to go viral). I added another disclaimer at the top that this game *will* make you feel powerless. In reflection, I think I made an absurdist game that refuses to be played as you'd play a more straight-faced game.
THis is an extremely creative idea. The tweets are hilarious really well done. It was hard to see a correlation between my actions and what points i got, but very fun to mess around. Great submission
I like how it was put together. Nice sound effects and presentation. I couldn't figure out how to get eggplant though.
Interesting game, I like the eggplants and I wish that was the going currency for all social media!
Nice idea, that could evolve into a clicker type of game. I wasnt too sure what to do though to get forward.
The concept is interesting, but it's frustrating when you want to click on a post and another appears right before you click so you end up liking your own post x). Good job!
I don't think I understand what's going on, mechanically... I'm either playing it wrong or this is the slowest idle game ever made. Even following the instructions provided, I still can't get it past 1 duck and 1 eggplant!
I like the music and the art style going on, and this is a perfect fit for the theme...
However, real Twitter is easier to play.
I think I'm gonna stop RT-ing my own tweet from now on...
LMAO in all seriousness though, I understand the concept, and I think it's pretty clever and nice! There are a lot of different twits to discover, and the sound is pretty nice too! Nice work!
Nice game! It took me a while to figure out what to do, but I like the concept :)
Great idea!
Such a funny concept!
