Swearing using smoke signals is so fun! It's a really interesting take on the theme! I didn't fully figure out the rules of the language, but I would say I'm so good at swearing lol

This is fantastic! xDDDD The theam match is simply perfect and the gamplay is fun. Very good idea and implementation

very polished game - especially the art style, music and sound effects are great! I also love the take on the theme "signals" being smoke signals to insult each other

Amazing concept. Love the artstyle. Couldn't quite figure out how the strategy worked.

A very cool game the animations and sounds are 100/10, and the idea with the insults is just brilliant. You guys are awesome

The graphics are nice. I like the river animation and the movement of the blanket looks really good. The gameplay is intuitive and the "helping tutorial hand" helped a lot in the beginning.

Having bigger numbers, when you achieve better insults, would be a good visual touch and would add to the motivation. Little sound effects while triggering the insecurities would also enhance the feedback additionaly to your exclamation mark.

Nice implementation of the theme. Had fun insulting the other tribe.

"Baby ugly and not strong." - some native american tribesman. ;)

"You big stinky baby"

Good stuff, plays well on mobile too

Smoke signals is a cool take on the theme, and it was executed very well. Art is very nice and it all fits together. My only gripe was that I couldn't really tell how points are calculated or if they're random (besides insecurities). Insults were hilarious! "You not very good" is definitely one of the insults of all time :laughing: Really well polished game, congrats!

The audio is nice but pretty repetitive haha, but beside this i had a lot of fun playing your game ! The concept is hilarious ! And the art and animations are beautiful, i loved all the mimics of the head after each turn hahaha

This is such a great take on the theme. It's hilarious.

The face reacting to everything is just perfect, it makes this game. You guys get my first 5 for humour this jam.

The art is great too.

A bit more variety between the rounds might have been nice.

Super polished entry! Everything just hits right! Great job! I do wish I could retain some of my cards between rounds to prepare for the ultimate soul crushing insult! That Baby Weak & Ancestor Stinky was just waiting to happen! I did not quite understood what gave me more and what less points apart from the obscurities... It all came together to a very funny entry!

very small totem 😂

This is so so good you all really nailed it. Excellent humor, fun mechanics, feels cohesive and polished.

You should be really proud of this entry!

Great work, team!

Very well executed! A fun take on the theme and a super smooth play experience. Thank you for sharing! :)

funny game for dota 2 players, helps them to replenish their digest of insults! USEFUL!

capreola 2026-04-24 10:17

One of my favorites! Hilarious! Being able to create a perfect insult chain hits hard not gonna lie

bzz-nsk 2026-04-24 14:24

The smoke was that signal I totally forgot about during brainstorm this jam. Total respect for the idea! The graphics is also pleasant, hope you'll make a post-jam version.

therealorb 2026-04-24 17:20

Love the animation on the head thing :>

digital-bacon 2026-04-24 23:25

Absolutely hilariously awesome game! Loved the whole concept, the art style, the reactions of the totem head to the insults. Totally loved this game. Excellent job -- very well done!

The execution is extremely good. The idea is superb (I didn't even thing about this), and the overall delivery is just great. I love the music and how it changes appropriately, the premise is funny and the graphics are consistent. I loved the totem making faces and sounds when the insult was being delivered.

The only thing that could be improved is to clarify what impacts the actual damage, because after playing couple of times I couldn't really figure out when my insults are gonna do significant damage and when not, other than using insecurities. In fact I tried to play extremely nice, and the grammar check is definitely there, because by being nice you deal 0 points, but it wasn't clear how to maximize them.

Game. Good. Brain. Big. And. Smart. Entry. Good.

flameseer 2026-04-25 11:29

I love it XD great fun, simple clear and well done

yorsh 2026-04-26 00:44

Very nice game! Looks really cool, the face of the totem at the top really adds a lot. Gameplay works well. Well done!

fnelix 2026-04-28 12:16

Very fun game! I enjoyed the head animations on the top bar and the great insults. Has everything an entry needs, Very cool!
