Killer Sunday Morning Jazz soundtrack mixed with a light, but direct story piecing. The game boasts a mix of play styles, whether its an direct tournament competition vs AI or a more linear goal approach to a writing career. If you are looking for a game to do actual writing, this isn't it. You pick from discovered topics to essentially conceptualize the plots and ideas thrown into what your book will be. Still, this mixed in with the excellent soundtrack makes for a great relaxing game. 8/10

The game is enjoyable but there's not much replay value to it, after finishing my play through and got the most prestige in LEVEL 1 that's it you won the game you pretty much experienced everything what this game has to offer. There isn't much to do afterwards but for the price(bought it on sale 40% off) its acceptable. Here are my take on some of the game features that should be improved, added or outright removed. - The ability to respond to readers(fans and haters) by either clicking thank you and F you is not really something you should advertise. It's worthless addition if its just that shallow. Try giving us the player to respond in different manner rather than those two options. I have yet to see any backlash if I say the F word to the hater. - There's no positive reason on why you should try to get the write worst book challenge. Maybe you should give incentives to the players like prestige or whatever. - Give us option to change the book cover and font of the title. Is that comic sans am I seeing? Shame on you. - Events or scenarios should be a thing, like for example a genre will not be as popular for the coming years so you have to influence another writer to make the same genre as you to generate hype on the said genre. Advertise your book to generate sales and fans in a form book signing event. The media will criticize your book for writing about taboo subjects and you lose some fans or whatever. You get the idea man. - More depth in writing books, like give us the players to be involve in writing some of the text in the book. Its just all surface level it gets old fast if we its just generating stories for us. More hands on approach on writing the book if possible. - Lenghty book plots, climax and ending. I'm pretty sure most of the players here are heavy readers so giving us a few sentences on the plot, climax and ending is just sad. I would really love if there's more to read like a few paragraphs would be nice. I'm pretty sure I still have something to suggest but nothing comes to mind cause I'm sleepy af. I'm still giving this game a positive review cause I did enjoy the few hours I spent on this. Hope you guys expand the game more on updates or in your next game. Peace out

The game is really fun and falls into that sacred, delicious niche in which Lionhead's "The Movies" once reigned: games about making art and competing against other artists for glory and money. Usually games focus too much on the art part (like Passpartout, an amazing painting simulator strapped to a poor economy) or too much on the tycoon part (like Idol Manager, in which the difference between two concerts consists purely of numbers and money). "The Movies" didn't make this mistake, and neither did Writer's Rush. [*]It is fun to research topics, write books, and slowly learn what works best with what [*]You get to pick narrative chunks for your book (including the ending), some of which have secret or special effects [*]Different theme/genre combinations lead to different narrative chunks [*]There is a relationship system that can be used to affect other writers and yourself (cooperation and competition), but they feel a bit underdeveloped [*]Replying to fans is hilarious, it gets me every time Frogstorm just updated the game with a lot of cool things the community had asked for {female authors, harder difficulty, longer runs, smarter AI) and has quite a bit more planned. The price is more than fair for what's offered, so I would definitely recommend buying it and giving it a try.
