I feel a terrible sense of dread now. The game told me:
PERVERSE FATE FORFEIT HAND
UNEXPECTED POWER WAIT
Awesome game. I only with it showed you the Mandarin characters along with the English translations in the end.
Pretty sure this is telling me to pick up a prostitute.
"FAMILY DOOR STREET
MUSIC BOOK SILVER FAMILY
FRIEND ESCORT SINGLE"
Very original idea! Fun to play with the shapes of the characters.
This is great!
I got "HOLD PROSPER ESCORT PERFORMANCE VICTORY MOON BRIDGE MONEY SNOW NOSE"....what
Very cool idea, could've used a bit of music though. ^^
Pretty cool stuff! Although it doesn't seem like I got any cool ones like everyone else.
My mission if I choose to accept it:
THICK CHART COURAGE GREEN
PROTECT JUVENILE CONCLUDE
DEFEAT OIL AFTER
Very interesting idea!
It didn't seemed like much for me, I thought I was missing something, but at the end, I made several haikus and I liked it.
Very interesting idea, which could have been magnified by soothing music and peaceful sound effects... which is really hard to do anyway, and nothing is better than unfitting themes.
Escort, snow nose... This Haiku generator seems to have interesting... tastes.
It's a fun little application, and I love you get the kanji/Chinese characters.
Neat. I wish I had a little more control over the writing process, but extremely creative. Just add a bit of music and the ability to see the final poem with the real characters. Great work!
EMPLOY HOME LANGUAGE
NORTH SELF WHITE COW WEST NATION
FULL SCENERY CHEAP
Great game. I actually think mine's pretty deep and probably about massive industrialization:
AGRICULTURE FADE
COLD LANGUAGE NAME LOCATION
SHINE GOOD IRON WEAR
Really interesting, but as you'd imagine, it creates some pretty nonsensical haikus most of the time. I'd share the last one I got, which I liked a lot, but the game ate my cursor and I had to ALT+F4 to get out... Good job though! :)
Ok, that's pretty original :) At first I didn't get what it was, then saw the first result. Super cool idea!
Now that the compo is complete, I'd like to thank everyone for the reviews and awesome feedback, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to play my entry!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This is fantastic. Should keep me occupied until the rating opens up.
