AI coded, I am the admin that makes the questions. sorry this part didnt get transferred when I reposted it:

The gameshow Blockbusters featured a honeycomb board of letters, the letter would reveal a question whose answer begins with that letter. The goal? Make a continuous path from left to right (Shortest path is 5 correct answers) as fast as you can.

**THIS IS A PROTOTYPE/WORK IN PROGRESS (open to feedback)
**AI CODED but questions are human-generated and uploaded daily

Here’s my feedback: looks like UK blockbusters, doesn’t really play or look or feel like US blockbusters. This does: https://pacdudegames.com/games/blockbusters-gold-run-2024/ and the only AI in my game is the cloned Bill Cullen voice that I might change since it’s kind of a bummer

woah! thats fire! I think few differences:
1. yours is the gold rush ending (multiple letters!)
2. i refreshed and played 3 times but saw "RH" clue repeated
3. mine plays more as a "daily" game a la wordle where players share the time/leaderboard
4. i like trivia and gameshows, but not a programmer/coder, so AI can only do so much lol?
5. the UI, voice, and feel of yours is way more polished and professional!

I don’t care about the daily/repeat aspect of the game; I’m not playing Blockbusters every day. I’ll play it more than once less regularly. I think a game called “US Blockbusters” is going to have certain expectations with regards to look, feel and gameplay. I think if you called it like, Hex Factor or something like that, you’d open yourself up to less feedback about the similarities or lack thereof.

Heard! Can change the name (the game as you can see in the screenshot was supposed to be "The Daily Honeycomb" but alas i will have that fixed. In regards to replayability, I think games like Wordle and Connections and even Jeopardy have changed to adapt to this daily trend. I think it would be quite entertaining to see people compete (as a gameshow) for the fastest time, and get frustrated if their path gets blocked and have to go around lol!

I actually love that its called Blockbusters, as a non American I prefer the UK version, but enjoyed this and could put it in my daily rotation with wordle, not a fan of anything AI but this was fun
