    I’d like to propose “Clickorice” be picked up as an OS/app name please.

      And then make it game where you just click falling pieces of rice.

      … What, did you think it was something else?

        Dear God. A game a chicken could beat. Does it have interesting backgrounds or a solid soundtrack at least? Why am I terrorizing myself thinking about this? It’s complete nonsense trash, yet, you know people absolutely would play that. I don’t know why. Maybe dementia.

          I mean its basically just a digital version of popping bubble wrap.

          Sure, give it a soundtrack, flashy visuals, achievements, … why not?

          The rice could just… all spawn in at once, random locations, then you’re timed… or maybe it keeps spawning in, some kind of function of how much rice is onscreen.

          Maybe it has physics, maybe its top down, maybe its side on.

          … Maybe there are other chickens and its hungry hungry hippos.

              It would actually be extremely funny to make certain grains of rice or certain levels have the rice respond to your phone gyros, where normally this does not happen.

              Oh hey why not:

              Some rice jumps when you blink.

              Other rice jumps when a loud noise happens.

              Fuck it:

              If you sing the equivalent of a 12 note OoT song, the rice does something game mechanically useful.
