ASSCII - my cute ASCII text based game engine needs a slogan.

Everyone knows a slogan is the most important thing, even more than the product actually working (or existing), so lets get it right!

I have a few ideas but i'd love to hear your suggestions :D


* BONUS SECRET ARTICLE WOOT *

What makes a good slogan?

Im just as uneducated as the next swine, so take my advice with a granule of salt, but to me a good slogan:

  1. Is a short and sweet description of the product. After reading it you should know, or at least get an idea of what the product is about.

  2. Is simple, unoffensive and unassuming. This helps appeal to more people and makes the product feel more approachable.

  3. Is memorable. If it sticks in your head for whatever reason thats job done.

  4. Has a call to action. Invites the reader to do something. In this case, make an ascii game!

  5. Is searchable. Help people find the product. Think of what you'd search for when trying to find it. You want people to be happy when the product pops in the search results because its relevant to what they actually searched for.

p.s. i swear this is the last article I post without showing some actual progress!

p.p.s. Thanks @KniteBlargh for letting me borrow Jemima.
(even tho i didn't ask first pls don't ban me pls pretty pls)
