Hey Fabian, would you be comfortable if I worked on a spin off of this as a web game? Would be using news articles rather than wikipedia, and I would make some other changes to the formula.

Very cool concept. Love how you did an Android build also.
If you update Android build you might consider taking the key graphics off the buttons and changing the system back button to quit with a warning maybe.
Nice job!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I also noticed this has some "couch coop"potential, haha! :D

This is quite a fun game! I was looking for a Higher/Lower game to test my knowledge and I’m pleased to say that this is the one for me! Thank you!

Tolles Spiel! Ich würde mir noch einen Multiplayer Modus wünschen. Man könnte ja, wie es bei vielen Roguelike/lite Spielen üblich ist, einen Seed für jeden Run haben, den man dann mit anderen teilen kann, damit jeder die selben Seiten bekommt.

Dankeschön! :)
Nicht ganz so einfach, da die Wiki API mit Seeds nichts anfangen kann. Es gibt aber schon eine (englische)"Daily Arena" im Menü, bei der jeder pro Tag die selben Artikel bekommt. Die werden dann allerdings aus einer großenvorgenerierten Liste von Wiki-IDs gegriffen und nicht von "ganz Wikipedia".

Schade. Hoffe, dass auch ein paar deutsche Streamer das Spiel für sich entdecken. Mit Northernlion gibt es ja schon einen sehr bekannten Englischsprachigen! Über ihn bin ich auch drauf gestoßen :)

Hey Fabian! Great idea . :-D Would love to play it on my Mac as well. However, when I download the zip file and try to start the application it tells me that it cannot be opened. I am on Monterey, could this be an issue?
Best
Eric

Hey! Thank you for bringing this up. Mac is the only system I can't really test myself, but I had a friend look into it just now and Ithink I found a fix (that at least worked for him). Will upload a new build later today! :)

Thanks! One question the coder in me needs answering: is this game built with either Flutter or Electron? ;-)

No and no! :)

This is an amazing game as is, and has potential for many more variations.
Any plans to include other languages?
Reply
Fabian Fischer2 years ago(+2)
Thank you for the kind words! :)
In terms of the Wiki content, other languages are easy to add. I'd just need support to translate the UI (buttons, mode descriptions etc.). Theoretically the game is well prepared to add more languages though, so in case anyone's interested in helping translate, let me know!

I can help translate En <–> Es
EDIT Also, as a longtime Wikipedian I know that they sometimes do care about the use of the Wikipedia logos, you might want to check out their trademark policies

It can work, but it's not a guarantee. The excerpt is taken from the first paragraph only, which might be super short itselfbut then still be followed by a long article with man subsections.

Kinda love this idea. As I can see it also tries to get articles from similar cathegories? (I got islands vs castle and some highschool vs university)Or I just got "lucky" haha)

Thank you for playing and the kinds words!The duels areactually completely random for maximum variety, but I sometimes see strange patterns in it too, like "fish vs. sea urchin", what are the odds?:D

Very neat concept! I enjoyed it very much, and I hope to use this as a party game someday.
