FILL: Team Karkat<3Karkat

[doubleohally]

Rec 1: Fuck Yeah, Adventure
Team: Bro<3Grandpa
Creator: Collab Round
Why I’m recommending it: Okay so this was great HANDS DOWN AMAZING! I had so much fun playing it, the interactions made me laugh a whole lot. Like, Bros asking stuff and then it zooms in on Cal like Cal is answering and then like omfg you go and do stuff and also the card game with DD was great it was so funny I liked playing the game what game was that was that hearts or was that made up I have no idea. Ms. Paint is great, I love her and it was just so funny omg the puppets.

Rec 2: Shooting for the Moon
Team: Dave<3Karkat
Creator: Collab Round
Why I’m recommending it: It made me too sad for words. Like, maybe not everyone but me I really love sad things there is no good ending to this. First off Karkat dies so beta-timeline everyone there is going to die how sad and Dave goes and saves Karkat so the alpha timeline is okay now but still that Dave is the Dave we play as so it's sad. I did all the options and they were all sad, the less sad one was when he just fought of Bec Noir but still how sad. I liked how Karkat got mad at Dave for not caring about other Dave how cute ily Karkat.

Rec 3: The Legend Of Karezi
Team: Karkat<3Terezi
Creator: Collab Round
Why I’m recommending it: This was fun to play, I love fun things. I didn't make it to the end because I'm super bad at these types of games but I really liked how it was a competition. My favorite was being Terezi because short range is so hard omfg

Thank you so much for the Bro<3Grandpa rec! It means a lot to us, and I love seeing the reactions it's been getting. I figured I should say a bit about the thought process behind the card game since you seemed curious. You are correct that the starting point was Hearts. It's very simplified/stripped-down from what Windows Hearts players might be familiar with, because A. we didn't want to force the player to memorize a bunch of new rules just for that one segment of the flash, and B. I didn't have the time to program that stuff anyway. The only other modifications to the basic game were penalizing spades, especially the Jack of Spades, instead of hearts (so DD could make that crack at Jack's expense), and some modifications to the points system so the game would be shorter but still balanced (a genuine Hearts game takes, like, 30-60 minutes at least, which would be way too long compared to the rest of the flash). I'm glad you liked it!
