Sorry to take this forum again to advertise one of our games, but it is still on topic I guess, I mean I am not promoting a new refridgerator or anything.
I remember some of you guys liked the idea of a text adventure where you can add content while playing, well here you go:
We recently published the following game on Android (iOS soon to follow):
Monkee Stories is an app that allows its users to collaboratively create Stories and expand them however they like.

Playstore Link

Please try it out! It's completely fresh, it's free (ad-funded but shouldn't be too many), so create some awesome content. Maybe a keen story!
And let everyone know about it
Our new mobile game Monkee Stories

Whoa, nice. I had an idea for this kind of thing once, but with longer stories. Making it shorter like this is actually a lot more engaging! And the app is well-made, too.
Edit: Feedback.
Edit: Feedback.
- I'd love it if you could write a little bit more when adding a new option with a result. Some people are very clever with writing a funny sentence eloquently, but there isn't always space for it.
- When I try to banana an option, it selects the option and THEN I can banana it. That feels like it's doing something different than what I wanted: I'm tapping the banana and not the whole option.
- When I press the back button, it exits out of the story completely while I expected it to just go back a step. Same for the back button in the corner: might be better to have both a "1 step back" and a "back to home" option there.
- That pantless hero poster is excellent. You should add that to the app screenshots. Makes it stand out more.
- I have a bluetooth keyboard. When it times out/disconnects, the app screen turns black for a few seconds. Luckily, no progress is lost.
- Because there's quotes around everything, adding more quotes makes it look like a mess. So you can't have someone say a line as a response without there being duplicate quotes.
Wow look at me I'm lurking

We are still evaluating the space you have. It shouldn't get out of hand by becoming too long, but this is probably gonna be adapted in the process.I'd love it if you could write a little bit more when adding a new option with a result.

Yes that is a good suggestion, we might change that in the future, adding it to the report logWhen I try to banana an option, it selects the option and THEN I can banana it. That feels like it's doing something different than what I wanted: I'm tapping the banana and not the whole option.
Actually you can go back one step by scrolling up and clicking an earlier headline, but maybe the ui is not obvious enough here, we'll give it some thought.When I press the back button, it exits out of the story completely while I expected it to just go back a step.

Yeah we should probably work a bit still on the screens in the storeThat pantless hero poster is excellent. You should add that to the app screenshots. Makes it stand out more.
Interesting bug report. What kind of device are you using?I have a bluetooth keyboard. When it times out/disconnects, the app screen turns black for a few seconds. Luckily, no progress is lost.
Agreed, we already talked about that and it'll change soon.Because there's quotes around everything, adding more quotes makes it look like a mess. So you can't have someone say a line as a response without there being duplicate quotes.
