What people liked

  • Funny, short, and fun to play

    From 4 comments

    • Thanks for posting! Gave me a good chuckle at the beginning of my day, and I miss tiny projects that don't need to aspire to be the next big thing. Although, I'm not sure if the…

    • *SPOILERS* Very funny minigame! Given the responses here, it would be nice to have a "browse as anonymous" button with another ending. Or perhaps an intro screen before the…

    • Suggestion: create a temporary user account for new users which allows them to start the game immediately without creating an account. The 'anonymous' account can then be…

Questions

  • How the percentile ranking works

    From 1 comment
    • Good ending with wtf. But it says 24% are better... It would be interesting to know how the ranking works.

  • What tools made the graphics

    From 1 comment
    • Did you make the graphics yourself? What do you use?
