ngl this is the game that made me actually commit to submitting mine bc i saw it while glancing at the submissions page a couple days ago, and the concept interested me so much that i wanted to be able to rate it after my first time playing. the doodle art style is incredibly appealing to me, i adore it and how consistent everything feels, and now my doodle guy gets to be incredibly famous. did I wildly misunderstand the UI at first? sure, but that's most likely on me lol.
There definitely seems to be a pretty substantial element of luck, which while accurate to the real world it was interesting going through about 5-10 failed runs before one post clicked and suddenly I was at 10M followers in the blink of an eye, and experiencing what appeared to be my follower count looping back around to the negative integer limit within the same week. Still, once I hit that good run, seeing the numbers go up was super rewarding, and making silly sentences was utterly delightful. I could absolutely see this game being expanded with audio and more weekly challenges and upgrades, maybe a tutorial, and all around it just feels like a game that has a lot of potential. I could even see future updates that specifically incentivize trying out different play styles, like focusing more on one topic versus balancing many topics, and some sort of additional purpose or strategy to following other people and picking who to follow. All in all, it hits a great balance between being fun to play and having a good message. Even without audio, I found this game to be impressively polished and solid for one week. Great work!

It took me a while to figure out how to play it. I think that because the entire game is in two colors, there isn't a lot of clarity for the important things. My eye was never drawn to the trending tag, which meant I failed the first few runs. Only after did I use it and then the game was suddenly very easy. I even broke the number system.
I didn't expect to play this one as long as I did! It's very fun, and addicting
it's really funny unique and i love when the prezedent makes a concerning tweet about a burger
nice concept but after a while i hit an overflow with -663118502 followers and 37 billion likes. But nice game lol
The concept is very interesting, it really triggers that "numbers going up" addiction lmao.
Also, is this the dead internet theory everyone talks about? Even if everyone on earth is following me, my subscribers would still be 99% bots lmao
Awesome visuals and super fun gameplay! For me, though, the inspiration is just a little too obvious.
Really neat concept and loved the visuals!
Like everyone else, the lack of audio is a big bummer! Would've been great to know which of the free tags you get each day were a beginning/middle/ender of your post so I could balance my deck a little bit better. The combinations of silly posts are really charming!
