I’m always stumbling into the same prompts over and over again leaving me no room to actually play anything fun anymore. It’s just not fun when you have seen the same junk over and over and yet you have to create a whole different thing for something that is honestly useless. This is also if you can even get into a round as you might as well read a dictionary to its fullest extent without ever getting in a round. The game has potential but it’s badly executed. Also most of the player base is either kids or just toxic people who either always want to make sex or shrek or edgy jokes to be “funny” for a game called be funny now it’s not funny at all having kids drawing peens and shreks most of the time. I honestly reccomend you just play the steam version as it has no ads and is free to play without a lot of some of the inconveniences as this version. I would rather play cards against humanity than this garbage. ### 3/5 — Fun, but nearly impossible to play… *2022-12-12, version 2.0.2* It’s definitely a great idea and enjoyable game (when it runs properly, anyway) but there are so many glitches that irk me to no me and don’t seem to be getting fixed. For one, I’ve been stuck on the same daily question for the past week - it gives me the option to vote for the final round but the final round never seems to end. Secondly, when submitting a question it’ll delete all but a few words from it. So if I answer “it was dad’s fault” it would only say “it was” (not very funny). I can tell this issue also plagues many of the users I wind up with on public lobbies. I can see so much greatness in this game, I really hope these get resolved. ### 3/5 — Ok, could be way better *2022-12-05, version 2.0.2* While the last update fixed a lot, this game has a long way to go. It certainly doesn’t help that it feels like even the creators have given up on this game. (They haven’t even bothered to put a new daily question in days!) There’s a few suggestions I have. Having new questions is great, but I think we need entirely new categories too. I don’t mean replace the ones we have, just add three or four new ones. With more categories, means more possible questions, and more possible answers. I also believe this game would benefit from more personal questions. Instead of having fill-in-the-blank type questions with very specific prompts, the questions could be more open-ended. (For example, right about a time you were embarrassed). That way, we get more creative answers than “among us” or “your mom”. Also, good lord, let us unsubmit answers! I’m tired of looking stupid cause of typos, or not being able to change my a joke to a better one! Please, this is so annoying! I’m really rooting for this game, and I really think making these changes would help it do well! It has so much potential, it’s just a matter of putting the love and care in to help get it there. ### 5/5 — Amazing but needs more players *2022-11-24, version 2.0.2* This game is hilarious. It’s like cards against humanity but does not limit you to a deck of cards. The customization, though limited before making purchases, is incredible and extensive. The emotes are so fun! I love the ability to react to winners and the golden roses AND tomatoes both make me feel appreciated (either people thinking I’m clever or the boos from my puns. They both fuel me). Also the new voting system is SO much better than the old way. The daily question is so fun and engaging. My only issue is it is dependent on people playing. Which is why I’m writing this. Anyone reading: THIS GAME IS AMAZING! You will not regret the hours you’ll put into it. Please download it so we have more people to play with! ### 5/5 — Great game! Change Outfits *2022-11-12, version 2.0.1* I absolutely love this game, and I think there are some great clothing options. However, I wish that you could see all the clothing only with lock symbols. You wouldn’t have to change the shop, just allow people to know all that can be bought so that they can plan outfit combos and look for specific things in the shop. ### 3/5 — Better but still disappointing *2022-11-12, version 2.0.1* The bracket style game structure is much better, but it’s still flawed. Now instead of voting negatively on everyone else’s answers, they just leave when theirs doesn’t advance in the bracket. It feels like there’s always at least one person who does this, and it’s not rare to find only three people left in a match after an initial six started it. I feel like it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to fix this, just portion out the points so people get more as the game goes on (unless you’re scared of a lawsuit from Jackbox games, which, fair enough, but that doesn’t make the game better). I also came across a couple repeated prompts after just two or three days playing. If I played this for a twenty minutes a day for a month, I’d expect that number to go way up. I know it might not be practical to add enough prompts to last so long, but that doesn’t make the game better. Mobile version also has a lot of ads, and a not insignificant amount of bugs (although the bugs aren’t too disruptive). Also, the times displayed (such as the time of 7:00 pm in the store) seemingly don’t adjust to the user’s time zone. At least say what time zone you’re referencing. I know it doesn’t matter, but it just seems a bit sloppy. ### 3/5 — Good, could be so much better *2022-11-10, version 2.0.1* The concept of be funny now is great, and the gameplay itself takes everything we love about Jacksfilms and Jackbox and puts it into an app. The issue is the game takes so much longer than it should, it has three rounds each taking about 4 minutes, which leads to far too many disconnects. My suggestion is change the format to one round only, and have a button at the end that just says “join another game” ### 5/5 — so awesome *2022-11-09, version 2.0.1* i played this game when it first released, and the original voting system sorta felt made to make other players feel bad unless they had a specific sort of humor. BUT, the new system is fantastic! It makes it much easier to have a good time and feel funny, and its a lot harder to dog on someone with the anonymity. The artstyle is unique and fun and the game overall has improved so much. ### 2/5 — Dancing bears *2022-09-07, version 1.1.5* I’m unsure why the game has stopped working for me. I’ve only been playing the daily question for the past month or so, but have been enjoying it. Tonight it suddenly won’t let me play. It says I have “too many tickets”. In not sure what the “tickets” are, however if it’s meant as some sort of censorship, I believe there may be a mistake. My answers have been relatively tame compared to many others. I don’t want to start from scratch, I’ve accumulated quite a good amount of coins and other things. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer! ### 5/5 — A few things *2022-07-26, version 1.1.3* First it’s a great game to play with friends or with random people I always find my self laughing at the end of every game. Secondly I think you guys should add a middle ground for voting like when one does really give you an emotion it’s meh but shouldn’t receive a bad vote Third adds I understand why you guys have them you need to make money and where i would normally take away a star for having them your game has such good potential and has amazing art you guys have made a great game and please continue what you guys do. ## Frequently asked questions about Be Funny Now! ### What is Be Funny Now!?
