Interesting idea and neat UI. I had a hard time figuring out a way to send out a horde of spam to attack the enemy. I thought copying and pasting might do it but I wasn't able to figure it out. A tutorial would be much appreciated here. Great job though!

I really like the idea here, once I understood the concept a bit better. I wish the money accumulated a bit quicker so you could really send out more waves. A tutorial or deeper explanation on the game page would be helpful (you can still edit the game page after the jam ends, you just can't change the game). Still, I dig the creativity and the art just captures that 'email scammer' vibe super nicely. A bit more refinement could turn this into a gem. 

I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute!

Hi, I didn't understand what I was supposed to do. If you put a guide in the description and then reply to this message, I'll make sure to rate your game.

Developer

Well, you have to select three custom words that will customize the email and the enemies. Then try to write the email as close as the example as you can, and then hit send to spawn the enemies. The idea is to kill the trash can so your spamming attemps succed.

I will also update the description to try and explain as better as I can the game.

Did not understand game mechanics, but email were fun to read XD

Developer

Yeah, the mechanics are a little weird and we didn't have time to do a tutorial. But is good to hear that you had fun playing it!

ROFL, those emails were just hilarious to read.. and such an unusual game mechanic! I will admit i did not fully understand the attach mechanic, but i did enjoy myself a lot!

Developer

Thank you!
I wish we had more time to do a little image or something to explain the gameplay.
