it’s decent! – Manyland Review

so im a BIG fan of the desktop version, it’s very good and i have limited complaints. the app was like, WOAH, i can finally play it not on my comp??? amazing???? except it’s lowkey bad lol. here’s a couple things: 1/ the LAG. someone has mentioned this before but it can get pretty messy out there. 2/ the overall interface. it’s almost impossible to create some things such as dynamics and stuff while on a phone, the game just REALLY doesn’t allow it and it getsrteal complicated (i have to restart the app like 7 times just to finish making one dynamic). the game isn’t really meant for phone, i know, but there MUST be ways to improve it. 3/ this is a minor complaint but the app doesn’t allow me to listen to music while playing it so i have to literally sit in silence for as long as i’m on the app which can be from ten mins to an hour so that’s a bit of a nuisance. and...yeah! that’s it! overall this game is still lit but there’s definitely some aspects of the app i’d work on fixing. thanks sm! edit: this has nothing to do with the app itself but i just want to say that manyland is truly one of the best browser games out there right now. even if its community is fairly small, i think that it is truly so, so novel in its user-created existence. manyland is the only game i have ever seen that is TRULY user created- i’ve made the most friends, had the most fun experiences, and evolved the most as a person through this game- something that might not have as much of an obvious dev influence (although i am so eternally grateful for philipp and his endless faith and work put into the game) yet still grows better each day. every single (and i mean EVERY SINGLE) obsession i’ve EVER had has come and gone. manyland is seriously the first and perhaps only obsession i have ever not been able to tear myself away from. even when i do have breaks from the game, i never think back on it as a past experience, something that i did and am done with. manyland has always been something i know i can and will come back to- (i made this joke about starbucks recently on the suggestions board) manyland is TRULY eternal. my gratitude can never be truly expressed. i learned how to make pixel art on manyland; i learned how to type fast (lol), how to grasp my ideas and visualize them into things i could be proud of. i had my hate-all-noels phase, and now i strive to rid the community of that illogical hatred. even with the “limitations” of the game, i’ve found that people have managed to make absolutely incredible things- and while on other sites this would have been discouraging and a precursor to me quitting out of frustration and loss of hope, on manyland i am always inspired, encouraged, and certain that i can and WILL do better. i’ve had my artist blocks, and i will have them in the future. but while on other sites i would have quit entirely, on manyland i know that these blocks will not last forever. i stay, i learn, i grow. thank u so much. <3
