Very cool concept. Nice sounds and art. Pleasure to play :)

Interesting concept. It's really tough because it doesn't let you move down to a new line, and you have it portrait view so you have very little room for all of get well soon. But it's cute. A little challenging. And the music if fun.

Cute stuff but free drawing is important here I guess

Screenshot from 2023-10-02 13-24-44.png Very proud of myself for managing to get the whole first card complete in one line... reminds me of how my bubble letters looked in my elementary school days lol

Haha, hilarious! Never thought to use sticky notes whenever I ran out of room writing in cards, perfect life hack!​

Great work on the game! I really dig the style.

This is awesome. It's so cheerful and friendly and it makes me so, so frustrated.

The combination of the concept and the sound design made this game a fun experience. Very funny! I think being able to free draw letters could really bring this concept to a whole new level, but I think the team did a fantastic job with the theme in the allotted time.

Excellent use of the theme! Very creative game. The use of the voices was funny and I liked the playfulness of the messages. I totally agree with the GoBigRedFan, so frustrating yet so cheerful -in that sweet spot way that makes you want to keep playing.

I like the game idea, and I had fun trying the game. The only complain is that the game in the end felt a bit long. Overall a well made little game. Well done.

@jk5000 thanks for the feedback! What's really insane is that last level with the long message we actually cut down significantly from it's original string because it was way way too long. It still ended up being too long anyway I suppose :)

interesting game and its concept

driagonv 2023-10-05 20:02

the amount of notes i had to use in the one before the last 😭😭😭

interesting take on "limited space" :) i only wish there was some kinda "here is what you will have to write" text as an example so you could plan ahead

aglou 2023-10-05 21:15

Inspiring cards making generator, I have better skills here to space the words than in the reality haha

adam-konig 2023-10-06 03:10

@dioinecail great suggestion! We did pitch that early on as a possibility, but I think that takes away from the joke we were planning to make with the long messages. For a more "serious" puzzle game I do agree with you that giving the prompt ahead of time allows you to plan your strategy better

A very clever take on the theme. And a very solid entry for a game jam. If it were a real game, I'd be nice to have a new mechanic or feature introduced at each level.

Honestly this game made me chuckle, I love the idea and concept! Very easy to get into and understand as-well.

shaggy 2023-10-19 14:34

Great idea!
