Under rating threshold (show) pretty cool, but some of it is reeeeealy out there in the answer, still had fun guessing :D as for the user content, though "name that character!" DOES NOT INVOLVE LATERAL THINKING! It was a nice change of pace to fill out the vast branches now hj=ow about a KEVIN BACON one! How each actor and person links with what movie. I would love to play that one! in the DBZ they left out Tao Paipai, Pilaf's minions, and fortuneteller Baba which had more screen time than Marron >.0 but it fas still fun. I would suggest on the other content a spellcheck system, of it users could kindly recheck the ones already here. This is truly fun!

Under rating threshold (show) Great concept, but becomes too frustrating too quickly. There are too many legitimate answers that don't appear making it feel more like a "guess what the coder was thinking" game rather than a "think about things logically" game

Under rating threshold (show) I have a suggestion. Put the following in the headline: "(American mindset)". It's completely alright to have a game like this on the site, that requires you to be able to think like an American (and know a lot about American culture), if you aren't already one. But it would be nice with a warning upfront.

Under rating threshold (show) This game has allowed me to realize how much of a life I don't have. I just completed the original pokemon one. Which has mew for some reason. But I got to almost 99%. I would have 100%'d it except I had to look up how to spell exeggcute. The worst parts: I did them mostly in order except when I would suddenly think of a later one and come back. And the hardest part I had with this wasn't remembering them all....it was separating them from the newer ones. My life belongs to pokemon apparently. :/

Under rating threshold (show) In order to be playable, this game needs a "Hint" button and an "I Give Up" button. It should also keep stats as to the percentage of people who guessed each answer, and the percentage who had to use the "hint" or "I Give Up" buttons. Above all, spell checking answers is a MUST. If you create content for this game, and you misspell one of the answers, there's a special place in Hell waiting for you. Overall I like the concept of this game, it was just implemented in a manner that leaves the game open to worlds of frustration for the players, which, for me, defeats the purpose of playing a game.

Under rating threshold (show) This game is very great for the Kongregate users to make shared contents on instead if they don't want to make an Sporcle account to make Sporcle quizzes.

Under rating threshold (show) It would be really helpful in cluttered levels to be able to click a node and have the lines directly connected to it change color so we could see them more clearly.

Under rating threshold (show) Too many user levels have poorly picked words - linking words are MUCH too broad and you have no real possibility of getting the correct except guessing.

Under rating threshold (show) Interesting game. One problem - in large puzzles with many connections, it can be hard to tell whether a line is connecting to a box or passing behind it. Perhaps a feature where you can click on a box and the lines connected to it are automatically highlighted?

Under rating threshold (show) PR0: Cube is in there. As for the others, you could add literally hundreds of shapes to it... If I recall correctly, there's a name for all the 'gons up to, at least, 12, probably higher, and there's still a lot more shapes out there... It doesn't make much sense to continually put shapes in there, especially if you can't link them to another item in the real world. Another note in general: The words relate to MAINLY the items that are DIRECTLY LINKED to the item in question. So, Madison Square Garden (which is in New York) relates to a square in the name (maybe in shape as well, not sure.) The White House is a governmental building, and relates to a Pentagon (it's shaped like one.) The government controls the military, and historical military formations that sometimes looked like shapes.

Under rating threshold (show) nvm, I've figured out WHY it's so hard if you'r reading this, whoever made the gmae, NOT EVERYONE ON KONGREGATE IS IN AMERICA. YOU NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT. Seriously, I'm in the UK and couldn't get anywhere on the branches from the actual shapes.

Under rating threshold (show) I really liked the way we can create levels because it's easy to create levels with the boxes with the names of the things from the video games. Check out my level "Super Smash Bros. Characters" for an example.
