Everyone's mothers always say "Don't make those faces! They'll stay like that!" But now you have the chance to make the silliest looking faces anyone's ever seen! Choose from a wide assortment of eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. Then make your newly created faces blink, wiggle their ears, wink, or razz you. You can even play a "Simon Says.." type game where your face will do some kind of action and you have to follow along!

Surprisingly Elaborate, And Surprisingly Fun

Look: 9/10 I love the black quadrilaterals that pop up for loading time/transitions. It also felt like you had windows, like in the early Apple GUIs. enter image description here

My Face :-p enter image description here

Sound: 6/10 Forgettable, but not particularly annoying on the Apple II version.

Play: 9/10 Wow, I came in expecting another game like that Music Maker one and the one where you were supposed to be able to make graphics. Too rudimentary to engage with, in other words. Boy was I wrong! I mean, it's still certainly rudimentary (but let's be honest, it was about as much character customization as a lot of the games I loved as late as the early 2000s..), but this really impressed me with its features, design, look, colors, speed, and UI.

Feel: 9/10 Wow nice you can even animate/program the faces. A video would show that, and the whole interactivity of it, better. (Whoa, I was gonna link to a video, but didn't find any of the Apple II version! And I definitely preferred it over the sounds and graphics of the other versions that are uploaded, the Atari 8-bit one meh. Sounds like I will have to make the video and link it here! Sadly …

Sadly it'll have to be ASMR ha, but I want a way to capture the game.) I even had fun with the goofy, somewhat slow (only part in the game that even sortaaa felt that way, which is impressive for a microcomputer at this time) "game" part. It's basically Simon Says with the different reactions your Face can make. Which is fun seeing the Face you made be interacted with. Overall, impressive and surprisingly fun. I've been saying that a lot tonight heh. '82 sure has been a long year, and I wanna move onnnnn, but these occasional gems keep making it worth it to take my time!

Attachment: 9/10 I played every feature of this, tested it all out, which says a lot. I have a lot of games to play, and for me to take that time on such a silly game heh... It was genuinely fun and fast with loading, which was a pleasant surprise. I even downloaded it, so that I can show it to my brothers. Not that I plan to replay this regularly, but I definitely will be at some point. Tonight keeps having treasure after treasure! (well, with a few duds in between heh). I definitely wont be forgetting this one!
