Show HN: Quorbo - a quick and quirky quest for the quote
Hey HN, Today I'm launching Quorbo (www.quorbo.com): a simple
letter-revealing game (think Wheel of Fortune with some twists)
where you get 6 turns to guess the day's quote! It's my first
post-parenthood side project and first web game. Being a working
dad has caused me (for the first time, believe it or not) to focus
on simplicity. Up until about a year ago, endless free time
secretly plagued me... because I love _building_, and more free
time meant: more room to add complexity. Not anymore! Quorbo is
the first of my initial batch of three simple word games, and I
can't wait to make more. Let me know what you think!
(improvements, bugs / quirky behavior / stumbling blocks, any and
all feedback welcome!) Enjoy!
