A nice idea that's a refreshing break from a lot of other entries in the jam. I think the concept is solid, but it would be nice to see it taken further.
PROS:
- Unique concept and uses some nice graphic design to work well with the color palette limitation of the jam.
- Simple controls that are intuitive once you get the context of the game.
- Very relatable subject matter for those participating in the jam. ;)
CRITIQUES:
- It would be nice to see some form of progression if the player survives a round to give them reason to push further into more rounds. Something like recurring commenter names and/or followers that have consistent remarks on different art pieces would further flesh out the world of the game.
- The typo comments well represent comments commonly seen on the internet, but do feel mentally jarring to see the misspellings and terrible grammar. It serves the gameplay to force you to think more about what's being said so I don't want to say it's wrong, but it did bother me to have to process each time.
- I spent at least a couple rounds just ignoring the game to look over at the art on the right because when playing I almost never actually look at the right side of the screen due to the feeling of such limited time. Somewhat wish the art piece itself was more highlighted or centered to better enforce the context of the subject matter.
- Possibly intentional, but there were definitely some comments that felt completely ambiguous as to whether they were positive or negative and those just turned into pain points for me when I guessed wrong.
