not the genre for me but I enjoyed the idea and presentation.
Thank you!
really creative idea, I laughed all the time I played
it would be perfect if it has the end :) I really enjoyed it
Thank you! What would you have liked to see as an end?
umm not sure but smth like randomly chosen #1 mark brown?
or maybe taking a look of other players' #1 mark brown can be great too!
but it was great experience by itself as well ;)
Silly mad libs game. I laughed at a few of the sentences, and the marks. Absurd how you're leaving a review for a person! And a Mark variant at that.
For those playing: You have to press Enter to go to the next Mark, clicking the button didn't work for me.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for pointing the thing with the Enter button out. I feared that it would be unintuitive, and I guess I was right lol
Does this end when I review all 6877 of them?
You'll have to play through all of them to find out :)
Real funny take! But it does get pretty repetitive after a while
Thank you!
I saw this one come up in the feed while I was at the pub, recovering, and I made a mental note to come back to play it later; i'm very glad I did!
Eye-catchingly stylish, instantly funny from the title and description, a real 'oh, of course' sort of premise that you love to see.
I would've liked the controls to be more intuitive (pressing enter should send you to the next empty text box, at the very least), the randomness to be a bit more weighted (having a small pool of phrases is fine but steps can be taken to make it less instantly-repetitive), and it definitely needed a screenshot or copy-paste button to share your best quotes more easily.
Still, it did what it needed to and got a audible giggle from me. Good work!
I actually did try to implement pressing Enter and Tab to move forward and back between the text boxes, but unfortunately I couldn't get it working in time and didn't want to push a broken feature. That's awesome that it stuck in your mind enough to have you come back to play it!
Took me a while to figure out I needed to press enter. I was clicking the review button.
This is some good parody on the activity I am doing right now. Writing a bunch of reviews for
Mark BrownsJam Games. Definitely made me laugh and the different Mark faces were really well done.Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed! Yes, I thought pressing review would be unintuitive. Unfortunately I ran out of time right before I was able to implement a feature to click the button instead of pressing enter.
Yep, been there. In our game I setup 'space' to go to the next turn and I never got around to making a UI button.
In a jam it often seems that the "quick and temporary" implementation just... is the implementation.
lmao true. Just tried your game out, A really creative and well executed concept.
Thanks, I'm pretty proud of it!
Those were the 5 best minutes of my day, but yeah it gets quickly repetitive, wasn't expecting more though. A fun take on the theme that made me smile.
Yea, there isn't much replayability factor. Maybe adding more variations would help. Glad you enjoyed it!
A fun concept, but gets a bit boring as you write more and more reviews.
P.S.: All Mark Browns are the best Mark Browns
Thank you! I agree, it does get repetitive after too many cycles lol.
I always love meta concepts, and this one is just so hilarious and creative. Kinda lacks longevity and is somewhat repetetive, but I guess that just comes with a concept like that. Laughed my ass off while playing and I loved seeing all the different mark designs. great job and I'm excited to see what you come up with in the future. Thumbs up from me 👍
Thank you, I'm happy to here it made you laugh. I wish there was more time to add more variation lol.
Laughed at the game. Not much gameplay as far as I could tell, but I still enjoyed myself a lot
Thank you!
damn
lol
