It's so sad being this kitty :(

I got way too invested with the notifications. Duolingo was my favorite. Oh my gosh, this game is not real. Literally, laughing on the floor, rethinking life right now. Y'all should play this game.  🫃

Poor Patches.

I have rarely had such fits of laughter in a jam (yes, I love degenerate humor), and today’s social media presentation couldn’t really be more accurate. An excellent interpretation of the loop theme, with nice drawings and very well staged reels! (I think the only thing that would have been missing for a completely realistic portrayal would have been violent and offensive videos, but I think it’s a good thing that you didn’t include those, lmao)

Bonus points for my brother Duolingo who made a brief appearance!

Very anxiety inducing and too real, well done!

Dang, it got real at the very end... Great way to comment on how we can be stuck in a loop, kinda like how my character is in my game. I enjoyed every reel, they were hilarious! Awesome and cute little game!
