I may not have enjoyed this title per se in the gameplay sense, but what it is to me is profoundly interesting. I've never seen this kind of project in my couple years reviewing GMTK jam entries. It's impressive. I clicked around for about 15mins finding the little stories people had made. If a lot more collaborators got in on this, the devs could make a video exploring some of the more well-traveled roads in the narrative, and I'd watch that. I've rated the game highly for creativity & style. It's got a calming atmosphere that encourages me to read.
A con: A rare bug happens occasionally, where the clickable words and UI buttons would all become stuck. The paper's content wouldn't change.
Genius idea! So interesting to see how others continue the story :) Such a quirky and unique interpretation of the theme it's the first time I've seen a game like this, amazing!
10/10. Absolutely amazing! somehow it did sneak into my imagination and spark something witty. I don't understand how it worked, but if it did record all other people's stories, this could be something big! Love it very much and makes me want to suggest it to a real writer to see how they react!
Its a very original interpretation of the theme and in terms of gameplay it really stands out from the crowd, art also is really nice! :D
Very clever project, it'd be cool if there was a way see some stats on how it's progressing (how many branches, how deep the biggest one goes, average depth, etc)
Absolutely clever idea. Love how well you explained the rules and also added a feature to search for words.
Super interesting experiment! Well done!!
Merci beaucoup pour votre mots, nous sommes très fans de Puncake Délicieux dans l'équipe donc ça nous touche tout particulièrement !
What a cool idea! I searched for the word "music" and found an emergent game where each phrase needs to end with the next letter of the alphabet. The game froze after a while and I had to refresh the page, but it's definitely one of the most interesting games of the jam.
This is definitively the kind of comments (and feelings) I was hopping for with this game <3
It's so fun to discover emerging gameplay on this simple idea.
Thank you so much for your kind words !
This game just blew my mind!
Awww, I hope it's for the best ^^
Thank you for playing <3
Wow... Just, wow...
You are wow.
Alright alright, this game is amazing and deserves all the praise. My fave from the jam
Awwwh, that warms my heart so much, thank you !
Super fun and polished! Fully expect to see this mentioend in the GMTK vid! Great work you guys!
Thank you very much ! It would be very cool to see Mark play to our game !
This is great! I enjoyed looking around and adding my own thoughts. One thing I'd really love to see, not necessarily in the game but just in general, would be a graph that shows all the paths players went. Like a big tree branching out in all different ways. This is awesome!
I totally agreed. That would be great and I think we’ll be posting it on Reddit in the coming weeks =) We might even kick off another session!
That's an awesome idea ! Jax and I will add it to the game, for sure !
Awesome concept and mood works great ! Also tutorialization is very clear.
Thank you, friends of the Team Pebbles ! So do you ! Congrats for your amazing entry !
this game is awesome if you did not put it four star or higher on at least one of them you are a bad person
Ahaha. You're kind, thank you <3
I Thoroughly Enjoyed This game. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for these kind words ! Cheers <3
The game illustrations are amazing! I like the little details and the incorporation of poetry and scale. It was very satisfying to input my own words on each word that I liked and I hope to see this collaborative poetry grow.
Aawww, my painter-heart thank you so much <3
Thank you for this beautifull comment !
so much polish! extremely impressive great job
Thank you very much ! Thank for playing and for your kind words !
