This made me laugh! Love the satire!
Really original idea! loved the presentation , but though it was hard to follow along what's going on I did manage to win haha
This is a really fun idea and I love the dog theme you have going on. My only complaint is there isn't much information given as to what's a ban-worthy comment, so I felt like I was just banning at random sometimes. With a bit more instruction to help guide the player, this could be a really fun little game!
The theme looks cool, but I keep loosing
I think this is because I'm colorblind.
Some ideas for fine tuning:
(1) feedback / scolding by Bark is good :D, but its not clear which comment the feedback was directed at
(2) the follower numbers aren't easily discernible while you're focused on the comments, maybe a chart to help visualize, e.g. green colors are uptrends while red colors are downtrends.
(3) troll behavior is quite context sensitive and awareness of some memes come into play (guess that's part of the game)
Otherwise its a neat concept and I love the humor in this one, and learnt about the existence of sosigs!
Thank you very much for this informative feedback randomphantom! It'll prove to be great use to us when we work on the next update :)
Fun concept. I agree with those people saying that it was tricky to identify the good and bad comments. Perhaps a nice slow tutorial would be a good addition in the future
funny concept and name xD
Sometimes it's a bit hard to tell what is and isn't spam. Also, I often click on a nice comment on accident since the comments get pushed up.
My only critique is the new comments pushing my click onto a nice comment. Otherwise funny and well-polished solid game!
Really fun experience, love the music and art, the game is really funny. My only criticism would go to the audo mod feature, since I was not really sure what it did.
Thanks for your feedback Tosch! :)
Nice interpretation of this game theme. But i really suck at this game but this does not say much :)
Really clever and funny! I love the live-stream parody!
It looks great! The buttons could be just a bit bigger, but that's a pretty minor gripe!
What a creative take on the theme! Graphics look amazing and whole concept of the game is hilarious. I might be very bad at it, but I had a blast playing it.
Thank you for your kind words Serponge. We'll be sure to balance out the difficulty in the next update :)
Mark will have a good chuckle when he sees the title haha. i found the gameplay a bit confusing at first, but I liked the clean visuals and audio!
Thanks for the comment! Also I just saw the title of your game... Now I've gotta play that. brb 😂
Fun game! I love the visual style and had a blast with this. I'd love to see more in the future
I like this game a lot, too bad i have a bad case of dyslexia lmao. I missed a lot, but I ironically like chat room games. Good job. The art and visuals look awesome! Very cute.
Thanks for your comment Japes! Our team discussed using text-to-speech when the mouse hovers over a comment to help players with any visual impairments. In your opinion, would this suffice or is there another way we can improve? :)
I think that would be cool, there are also special fonts like open dyslexic. Though, bold Courier, and separating different posts with colors/ highlights really help me read a little better.
(Edited, I said bold Arial first, but I meant Courier)
I was a bit confused since Bark Mrown kept sending me angry messages but congratulated me in the end. I'm not quite sure if I identified the offending comments correctly. Otherwise, I love the theming!
Glad to hear that you enjoyed our theme :)
Literally had no idea how I was supposed to tell what was a good or bad comment, or what I was supposed to do about them. Automod didn't seem like it did anything, and banning kept getting me yelled at.
Thank you for your feed back Team 13. During development, we may have thought that discerning between good and bad comments would be easy enough for players.
As for AutoMod? Yes.... Yes.
We'll keep this in mind for a future update :P
Some comments were obviously bad but I got a lot of angry remarks from bark (not to be confused with rebarks from mark), so clearly there were a lot of bad comments I wasn't parsing as such.
ALSO there's the bad issue of new comments scrolling the one I meant to click on upwards, making me misclick and ban an innocent person. That was also an issue.
