I'm not sure I entirely understood what I was doing, but I just played this for like 15 minutes. It's very entertaining and cute. I probably would have kept going except I ran into a situation where I couldn't compose a sneet with the templates/words I had, and I couldn't find a way to back out if it. 😅

"I'm shoving shrimps in my vegans."

This game was hilarious! Loved the concept and art. Fits this theme and also reminds me thematically of LD41's "two incompatible genres" theme.

bubblewandgames 2019-10-08 04:42

@karwei Yeah that's one of the known bugs that we just didn't have time to fix unfortunately 😭 glad you had fun though, thank you!!

@theomaniacal Thanks so much!!

I'll be honest, it's not my kind of game, but it is very well done and definitely polished.

lizelive 2019-10-08 05:50

this is my favorite game.

space-nomad 2019-10-08 06:02

Very addictive, polished and funny But i think parody and humour are most important aspects of the game However, it's really missing some sounds

bubblewandgames 2019-10-08 06:23

Thank you @itsbamboo @lizelive @space-nomad !!! And yeah absolutely, we're going to add sounds after Ludum Dare is over for sure

Telling people "I like horses" was the last straw that took me down. The UI design and color palette is top notch. Really cool idea happening here, will keep an eye on this if you decide to continue with it!

rs11s21n 2019-10-08 11:07

very interesting! but i feel like this is unaccomplished like a my too xD

xlomid 2019-10-08 12:28

Combining RPG mechanics with a social media simulation (and a bit of metacommentary) is a really clever idea, and you did it well! I love the aesthetics, too. It would be nice to have some background music, though (or is it just not playing in my browser?).

pl4typus 2019-10-08 16:29

Definitely would really be great with a nice music. But however, the game is pretty fun and the sneets we come up with are really hilarious sometimes.

I don't get the score system tho but who cares, sandals with socks must learn to put on socks! That's important !

Correctly identified that "my k-pop brings all the skater boys to the yard" is a good sneet. 10/10

I can't believe this game, it's so good!! First off, it's adorable, I love games that have you playing on a computer or phone screen, and you nailed it, the colors are great, I loved having a clout stat and playing as a clown. I probably have 7 or 8 screenshots of this on my desktop? This is my favorite interpretation of the theme, too! You guys did a really great job!

palemek 2019-10-08 19:32

Really cute esthetics and color palette. Game would really shine if there was music in it. Kept playing for 15 minutes without undrstanding how you get the points, but this is how social media works, right?, until i understood. Or didn't i? No i did.

iluvatar 2019-10-08 19:45

Ah, sweet 2010's when people are coming up with the craziest ideas just to stand out in those tens of thousand games that people create everyday all over the internet. I have three words for you: Absolutely love it!

It's crazy, it's funny, it's actually good, well thought, original, cute, the has it all. You guys deserve to be at least top 50 in this jam.

djee 2019-10-08 21:59

Very inventive and unexpected entry! Graphics are funny but make the UI a bit confusing with the all-pink color palette and thick borders. Quite fun game at first, although I am not sure if I need to remember the names of all sneeters over rounds or not? Otherwise how can I guess at each round? I mostly played randomly without really understanding what I was doing, which kills the fun after a few rounds of reading the hilarious variations.

ynneblack 2019-10-09 02:12

What a fun game! Only tiny thing I disliked was the way the whole screen shaked after clicking/typing, it was a bit harsh/sudden movement and personally I found it distracting, especially when making a new account. I got to 1mil+ during my first play, but cancelling insurance policies killed me soon after. I liked waiting until I had their favourite thing twice and using both (I'm not sure how many things they liked/disliked each time?, one time I would swear they only truly cared for cowboys and skateboards :D), though sometimes it was a bit hard to guess what exactly they disliked, I suppose that's part of the experience! I liked the simple colors, the idea and the writing. The texts before you started putting together your next Sneet were funny. (Maybe it would work better without articles? It wouldn't make for organic-sounding text either, you'd still have to have singular and plural versions for every template, but it could be a little smoother.) The preset usernames and icons were a nice detail as well! Oh, and is "vibe check!" template a positive or negative one? Or is it just "neutral"?

afroant 2019-10-09 03:55

Amazing GUI! I loved the concept of mindlessly riding the wave of popular opinion to try to capture some fame. I wish there was an easier way to bank topics. Seems like a ran out pretty quickly. I think if the gameplay worked like it's supposed to, it would be a really fun game. Nice work!

fictions 2019-10-09 06:46

An amazingly fun game :D I love everything... It was a bit hard though for a non-native english speaker xD

raivk 2019-10-09 07:18

Really super cool entry ! The humour was top notch, graphics were pretty good, and well... everything was good :D As usual with what you are making... it's super good !

selkkie 2019-10-09 10:33

Very fun game! ~~Some of the sneets I sneeted were totally things I would tweet~~. The combinations got a bit stale late-game once it seemed as though I'd seen everything, and some of the grammar didn't match up right- (like Vibe check (hits you with a _____) when most of the nouns were plurals), but that's to be expected in random generation.

Still, I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun I had, and it looked very nice!

antoined73 2019-10-09 11:15

Cool game with cute graphics and animations but sometimes the UI is not very readable (white on bright pink). Also some sounds could have been super cool ! I got stuck because I hadn't the proper type of words to fit the gaps. Nice entry overall :smile:

whomakeworse 2019-10-09 13:05

Good game, I like the concept

cybersoftuk 2019-10-09 13:34

I didn't manage to become 'sneeter famous' but i love interface games, i like the look of the game and its pretty innovative, well done!

team-on 2019-10-09 18:36

Woah, good. 1000 resneets and I`ll write full comment

rocktavious 2019-10-10 03:17

The look of the game was great but the gameplay was hard to grok at first. Too many things thrown at the player. I likely would have played more but I ran into the `If you go to make a Sneet but don’t have the proper phrases/words to complete the Sneet, you’ll be stuck there forever.` - its a real game breaking problem that it seems alot of people are running into and would be the first thing i'd fix post release.

jake-white 2019-10-10 03:25

This is absolutely hilarious. I hope y'all win the humor category

navrcl 2019-10-10 07:47

This is really fun and well made. the only thing was that I got into situation where I wasn't able to compose a sneet with available words. Besides that it's awesome!

drums 2019-10-10 16:47

You can tell a lot of work went into this. It's pretty and unique, nice job!

deepnight 2019-10-10 17:03

It was quite fun to read sneets and create new ones :) Not sure about the connection with the theme, though. Nice game :)

porocyonak 2019-10-11 18:40

very creative, well done!

pranjalbisht 2019-10-12 15:35

Okay, those sneet generations were absolutely hilarious! I have no clue how to tell whether people would like them or not, though! Loved it!

martynas 2019-10-12 18:33

Very funny and well done

yaen 2019-10-13 13:11

Haha that's a fun idea and also some insightful commentary on how people are incentivized to just say what the majority thinks in their social media bubbles.

Didn't get the rules at first but it became a lot more clear once I read the how to section :D

chocolat-endive 2019-10-13 18:57

Very fun and original, well done!

This is so silly, I loved every bit of it!! I couldn't really discern what made a good sneet but after a while every single one I made was in the positives. Here's some of my favourite sneets!!

All in all this was a really fun game! Really simulates the mysterious social media volatility and the formulaic nature of tw-- sneets!! >:P

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-29 07:09

This game is absolutely hilarious. I love the random combinations you can get as you try to game the system into becoming Sneeter Famous. Fantastic work, and the visuals are great! I wish there was a little more feedback on what was going on (ie some of my posts would get a lot of comments, which I assume is damage, but wouldn't hurt me?) but overall I really liked it. Great work!
