I'll tell you what, I'm literally not smart enough to play this game. Kudos to anyone that can come up with an apt aphorism at a moment's notice.
But on the other hand, I _did_ learn a new word today :smile: (hint: it's "aphorism")
Great fun! My only gripe is that there's no button to join the game you made, gotta click your own link. Aesthetic is nice, old-webby.

Clever idea. I think I would be really bad at this game though.

Aaaah. "Deep". I get it! Well done!
How do I find a game to join?

Cool idea, I'd like to see more games that explore webapps, like you did. Nice work completing a fully functional webapp in a weekend!
Clever idea, but somehow I ended up playing with myself. Oh well...
@wizkid yes unfortunately you’d need to find friends to play with. No match making as of yet

Very cool idea. Reminds me of cards against humanity and those other judging games. It's a simple concept, but from the framework you've built there's definitely emergent gameplay that happens from user submitted content. Good work on the multiplayer.
I wish there was matchmaking since I have no friends lol

I played it with my team a few days ago and we only had one gripe: during the voting stage, answers should be shuffled and anonymous, like in CAH.
@alaah That's a really good point that I didn't think about
Great idea, I only wish there were some kind of join game button, to join some random waiting player.
Very dependent on your ability to improvise, which I don't have but is pretty cool. Reminds me of a jackbox game. Also it took me a moment to get the theme. Clever.
I agree about being able to join a random player or bot. Very nice ingenuity for this idea
