This game is quite funny, I had a few chuckles.

Are the messages random, or are there any rules behind the "rating" of the chosen themes?

The graphics and animations are pretty nice.

Good job!

Honestly I felt the same way, I only downvoted like 2 of the themes and "Unstable" was one of them, but oh well here we are

Thanks for the feedback!

Here's how it works. There is a list of a few hundred words it can choose from. At the start of each game 20 are chosen. 10 of them are hated, 10 are fine. Additionally, each round half of the words are hated and the other half are fine.

Are the words hated or loved randomly as well ? I don't get how the character would not like "freedom" it's so good lol Funny game loved it and the sound is great !

bangkerpow 2021-10-05 13:01

Yep. Half are loved and half are hated. It's consistent per game though so you can make more informed decisions per round.

Had a good laugh not gonna lie. That was fun trying to get a worst theme than unstable.

This is absolutely hilarious. I'm weirdly tempted to make a game about Celine Dion and leaf blowers.

Fun little game! The ending was a nice reward for destroying this poor dev's sanity.

Funny little game, I wasn't the happiest with the theme either but found a way to make it work

Also disliked the theme at the start, cool that you made a game out of spite haha. Love the hilarious animations. Well done!

Not exactly my type of humor but other wise well done. :thumbsup:

"Not exactly my type of humor but other wise well done. thumbsup"

I think so.

This is a game made out of spite and it ended up quite funny! I beat it too! the gameplay is just picking words that you think the author would have thought were terrible themes. I made him become so unstable he exploded! Its really impressively made and the polish is fantastic. The game is fundamentally just clicking menu buttons but then in the background theres really good reaction animations from the developer at her keyboard. I loved the graphics actually they were really smooth and well done. Nice Work!

Humorous take on a deduction game and nice choice of weird/annoying themes.

kypello 2021-10-06 12:31

I love this haha, I also wasn't a fan of "unstable" at first. Great job on making a fun game out of your frustration with the theme itself. I don't know how you managed to come up with a list of 200 random terrible themes without losing your sanity

It's a bit of a weird theme, but you can work with it! Looks like you managed to do a bit of a satire game with it as well.

Ha! This is funny. I felt like I was really selecting the theme this year.

I guess games made out of spite can be fun.

Funny stuff here

erlioniel 2021-10-06 19:29

Don't get why you didn't like the theme :smirk:

Few things are as fun as blowing up a developer

George W. Bush and Commuters are the best possible combo your game is broken

So.... I regret to inform my fellow pianists that Beethoven died of spontaneous combustion.... and then somehow he was resurrected and trampled by bulls, which ruined someone's weekend so much *they* spontaneously combusted.

This game is genius.

This is hilarious!!

Best way of relieving salt I've ever seen.

Jokes aside, the idea for this game is really cool, the game is pretty funny even with its simple appearance. Probably coming back to this one eventually lol.

Funny idea. Good job!
