How does your game fit the theme?
The role of the player playing a game is to enjoy the game, while the game client runs the game, making sure everything runs smoothly. Here, these two roles are swapped, with the "player" being autonomous and enjoying the game while the real player has to make sure everything runs.

Loved the concept, but I think the current difficulty curve makes getting into the game + learning the mechanics a bit challenging.

If it started out with no garbage, then garbage was introduced + only one command -> steadily more commands, I think the gameplay could stay pretty much the same but be able to hook players early with significantly more ease.

What amazing satire! From my time dealing with crashes, especially from Bethesda games, I've come to thoroughly enjoy this! I just took one point off from presentation because of the text becoming blocked by the cards popping up, as well as cards falling off-screen and becoming unretrievable.

I enjoyed the game at first, but the wait times were too long and messages dissapeared too fast, and the arbage took too long to discard, so the game became pretty much impossible

A bit hardcore game, very interesting.

Cool Idea. Moving cards while game interrupts my screen was fun.

This is such a cool idea and I love the way you made it work! Could use a bit of polishing, but overall this is a great game!

This is great! I would love if it had more depth, but it's great fun for a bit.

Good job!

Clever idea, I enjoyed it a lot. I will say that it really needs a tutorial, took me a while to figure it all out... although some of that is me barely reading the description lol

This is a really cute game! I experienced some awkwardness with the controls (it took me a second to find the brush, and the trash can surprised me by eating one of my gobbos alive!) but I really like the concept - it’s very funny when 7 cards suddenly appear and clog up all of your screen space!
