Very interesting and unexpected take on the theme. I love the drag-and-drop puzzle piece text! It reminds me of MIT’s Scratch. I think the fact that the text looks erratic really reflects the player character’s mental state in this scenario, which is really relatable when dealing with a person like this. I have to admit that instead of having fun, I was very anxious about how the person I was talking to would reply.😅
Love the use of the theme!
Super original, and I loved how dynamic you made the chat! I did a chat myself, and it's SUPER hard to make it interactive and fun, so, superb work on that!
Wow, very original! I like the puzzles, though they were a bit easy. And the story was like an AITA thread, and let me just say: NTA. That guy was being a jerk, always assuming the worst intention. Well done!
Nice concept, very original. It seems simple but it was really fun to play.
The shapes, sizes, and orientations of the text in the blocks to put together really helped convey the story
Great concept, great execution - not much else to say. Loved the block snapping mechanic, clearly lots of soul in the game. I could easily see the mechanic being grown into a larger game, nice work!
I enjoyed this a lot--simple and relatable concept. Nice job!
The block snapping mechanic was really well done.
Such a good concept! Makes you think :)
Well done!
Very satisfying snapping. Nice idea to implement the theme
Looks and plays really well, good job!
I really like this idea, would like to see it expanded with multiple choices, would be fun
I like the concept and how you implemented the theme. It's simple but the narrative kept me hooked. It was just the right length without getting boring. I didn't really understand if the shapes had any relevance to the order or message itself and after putting them together, some shapes didn't fully fit the others anymore. Overall, I'd say that it's a great first project!
I love the way that there's typos and how inhumane the text seem, how uncaring, since you can't actually see the person. It really conveys how texting sometimes feels and figuring the texts out were also pretty fun!
