6/29/2025 7:34 PM | I had no issues downloading the Steam version of the game. I clicked the play now button in the middle. I played a complete game and won with 53 pts. There was a 3 round face off!! I'm probably the only player in the world that likes face off, so I was happy to see it included in the Steam version. The woman announcer was a nice touch as were the fireworks at the end of the game when I won. That music.... oy! lol. Could you hook us up with some Pandora or Spotify? lol.
Critique time:
I played a game against five opponents and I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of them were AI bots. If they were bots, they have a long way to go before they'll start beating the humans. I saw some pretty cringeworthy sentences submitted. If the opponents were actual people.... they were really rusty and need serious practice.
I wasn't impressed by the landing screen. It had three 'can't miss these puppies' buttons I could choose to click from. One was for immediate play, one was for setting up a game and I forget what the other one was for. Too much mystery. I felt like I was a contestant on Let's Make a Deal. Do I want door number one or door number two? What's behind those doors anyways? I would like to see what I'm getting into before clicking blindly. Play now? sure! Show me how many games are in progress, how many peeps playing, who's playing in what rooms. Maybe find some rooms with friends. Let me choose a room to go into. That sort of thing.
The moveable scorecard on the right has got to go. That is so annoying and it's too close to the submission screen. It's awkward. I would recommend shrinking the size of the submission screen by 40-60% so you don't have to use a moveable scorecard. Same with the lettering. I found it hard to read. Eliminate the bold type and reduce the lettering size a little bit. The lettering style is fine. I like the quirkiness. It makes the game feel fun.
That's it for now. I just trying to be honest and helpful.

Buttons and other things are large on a PC but much smaller if you play on your phone or another smallish device. I don't believe you can do this on Steam yet but the WebGL version does work on tablets, etc.
BTW, on the landing page there is a dropdown of games in session that you can join. |
