Brainstorm
A downloadable game

TUTORIAL GIF BELOW
You started thinking about game ideas for this jam but you don't have anything to write it down! Make as many associations as you can to make sure you remember the ideas.
Left click: select an already associated word, so you change which word you need to connect.
Right click: shoot your idea grapling hook at associated words. If you grab an unconnected word it will be pushed off screen and you will lose a life.
If a word is closely related, it will be pulled in closer and earn lots of points. But if it is barely related it will be pushed away and earn only a little points. If it goes out of screen, you lose a life and all the point related to the word.
Can you let me know if it works on your pc? It should not freeze and the words should move after being connected to a rope but I’ve had some problems. For the scoring system you have to be connected to the internet.

The scoring system does not seem to work on my side. Let me know when you fixed it :)
Hi, thanks for trying it out! The scoring is actually based on some online queries so it will not work if you were offline, but there have been other problems too. Were you connected to the internet when you tried it? :)
Yes I was :/ missing a permission or something then. I will try again later today!
Thanks! Let me know if you can get it to work :)
I might have a clue on why it doesn't work Do you have mozilla firefox installed?
Yes , firefox user here!.

Thanks for the help! Does the new version work now? I think I made a stupid mistake.
Hi, which file do we have to open in order to play your game?
Hi you need to open the .jar file so just double lick don't try to unzip it or anything. You do need a java installation to run it. Let me know if it works! :)
well i don't have the java installation i guess, when i open the .jar file it open another folder
