Shameless self promotion: Reverse RPG https://r-rpg.com/

I wanted a game like wordle, which I can play in like 5 to 10 minutes, but I don't really like word-puzzles. But everything else about wordle is great: no barriers, easy to pick up, replayable. So I made rrpg and intend to add content to it.

I haven't really thought about licensing, but I guess I will open-source it, if people like it. Right now it's just js in the browser, so anyone could copy it. Written with nx in typescript.

Played it for a few minutes and found it pretty fun!

I’ll return later to finish my run, but wanted to point out the opening quote character is wrong (it’s the same as the closing quote): it shows up as ”some dialog” instead of “some dialog”. Also, I’m on a phone and occasionally one of the options is highlighted. At first I thought it might mean something, but on closer inspection it may be a selection bug.

Both are minor issues which do not detract from the experience, but they may also be quick fixes.

Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback! Indeed the quotes are wrong and I noticed the focus(?) bug as well on the phone. I think there are also some CSS-related bugs in safari, that I still need to fix.
Real fun! Very clever idea and well written, engaging story. And the bits of humor are nice.
Thank you! I feel super cheesy most of the time, writing those.
I died from infections, but at least I was a rich man.
It's very fun! Would love to dig around in the source code.
I had enough fun to save and play again
Wow, thanks everyone! I am a bit overwhelmed :)
