A remake of a silly toy I wrote for April's Fools in 2021, made for my fantasy console Kate. It's a simulation of the feeling of doom-scrolling through some SNS feed.

Keyboard controls:

Start: Z
Like: A
Share: S

(or touch the buttons on the console emulator, or use a standard gamepad)

---

This version focuses more on vibes and has procedurally generated user names based on the kind of aesthetics I often see in my own feeds. The generation is based on a grammar, so pretty much the inverse of what most parser combinators do.

Code is licensed under MIT, if you want to look at how this works. The download section includes a ROM for Kate.

Install instructions

You can install in Kate by either drag-dropping the KART file onto the emulator, or by holding the Menu key, and then choosing "Install from file..." in the menu.

Play by clicking on the cartridge afterwards or navigating to it with the D-Pad and pressing O (Z in the keyboard).

You can run the Kate emulator from https://kate.qteati.me/ or by building it from source.
