I want EVERYONE to reply what you thought of it guys! Come on, everyone!

As promised, I will in fact review the game. I remember using this old template I made, so I’m going to basically use it again, and provide a more comprehensive review at the end. Rating by category Artstyle ☐ A kindergartener drew it ☐ Down bad ☐ Average :ballot_box_with_check: Good (it is converted but I like the composition) ☐ Amazing Gameplay ☐ I’d rather watch grass grow ☐ Not very amusing :ballot_box_with_check: Alright (the story carries the game but the gameplay is very simple, you just have to make choices) ☐ Enjoyable ☐ Exquisitely masterful (it rocks) Story ☐ There’s no story ☐ So cliché ☐ Admireable ☐ Amazing :ballot_box_with_check: You forget you have a life (the forum is basically my life soo) Performance ☐ Doesn’t run ☐ Seconds per frame ☐ Stitched screenshots ☐ Partially smooth :ballot_box_with_check: Flawless Bugs ☐ Fallout 76 ☐ Constant crashes ☐ Lots of bugs, little crashing :ballot_box_with_check: Mostly smooth actually (it crashes if you type in nothing in the text prompt) ☐ Properly debugged :point_right::smiley: :point_right: Length ☐ Flappy bird (3 seconds) ☐ Average runner game (a few minutes) :ballot_box_with_check: Minecraft if you git gud (~20 minutes) ☐ Fledged RPG game (20 minutes - 1 hour) ☐ How is this MakeCode??? (1+ hour(s)) (It depends on how many endings you want to get) Difficulty :ballot_box_with_check: Cookie clicker ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn, hard to master ☐ Challenging ☐ Dark Souls Replayability ☐ One-time experience :ballot_box_with_check: For collectibles (endings) ☐ Every once in a while ☐ For sure ☐ It’s meant to be replayed And now, for my actual review. To put it shortly, the game is cool. I like a lot of things about it, so let’s name some of them. Firstly, thank you for including me as a playable character! That was pretty cool! The gameplay isn’t much for the majority of the playthrough, as it’s a choose your own adventure game. Basically, you choose an option and watch the story unfold. One criticism I have of this is that it’s often not very clear in which direction an option will take me. Like, I could think I have chosen all the right options but end up getting a worse ending than I hoped. There are however some quirks in the gameplay that I do like. For example, being able to open the notification panel. It’s kind of a shame you didn’t make any use of it, but oh well. Being able to click on topics is cool too, and I like the reset feature too! It stumped me for a second when I encountered it for the first time, but when I figured it out, I have to say I thought it was a super creative feature I’ve never seen in use before! Considering the art, while it is converted, it plays in nicely in the game and it really doesn’t matter. I like the effects a lot, as well as the attention to detail. As an example - the number of replies increases as more people reply. That’s a nice touch. Finally, the story. Obviously, the story is the entire point of the game, and it’s great. I love how it shows the true unity of the forum, and how many people you included. Sure, some kind of “hacker” might not show up and cartoonishly wreck the forum, but that’s not the point. Great stuff, really. And that’s basically the review- Wait, someone’s on the other line… [image]Brohann's 3D devlog Hmm… :eyes: I see that you forgot to close the first bracket. I’ll give you a C in grammar. Not to forget the missing full stop… :memo: Hmm… interesting… :memo: :memo: :memo: C-. Final grade. [image] ChimbroDaPro: This game crashed my computer, with it’s 1641 blocks! The possesive form of “it” would be its, not “it’s”, because “it’s” means “it is”. And since this is a critical mistake, that’s going to have to be a D+…Don’t try to beat me at my own game :wink: Touché, @ChimbroDaPro

Notice how this started from a regular submision…to the best topics OF ALL TIME

YES!!! (its a sentence) BUT YES!! crossing my fingers

I love how far this game is going… I didn’t think I’d ever make a sequel. I genuinely thought there was too much on my shoulders, that I’d never make anything close to as good as this first one. …I’m kinda happy with the sequel.

Yeah it’s really great! Although @PixelDoodle was kinda right about the lack of interactivity maybe something to improve on

Kinda happy!? It’s awesome!! I’ve never seen a sequel match the original so well while mixing up the play style!!
