Filtered! turns game-jam moderation into a five-minute card-swipe satire. You sort pitches for a fictional AI while a viewer count makes every safe-looking decision feel slightly mercenary. The format is tiny, but its question about censorship has sharp elbows.
What is Filtered!?
A fictional jam inside a real jam supplies the neat little trap. Ideas arrive as cards with visible measures of impact and risk, and your sorting choices feed a viewer-count economy. The itch.io-like presentation makes judging imaginary entries feel uncomfortably close to browsing actual submissions. Under the goo-green comedy sits a heavier concern: which subjects get quietly screened out when public acceptability becomes a metric? The creator calls it a deliberately small jam game, and that limitation shows. There is more tension in the premise than in the system, but the clash between casual swipes and loaded subject matter gives the brief run its bite.
What you can do there
- Swipe fictional game pitches to filter or accept them
- Balance political risk against a changing viewer count
Why we picked it
Filtered! makes its host platform part of the joke, then turns a familiar yes-or-no gesture into a compact argument about moderation. It is rough-edged and mechanically slight, yet unusually good at making a viewer counter feel like a tiny moral hazard.
How to get the most from it
Set aside about five minutes and use a mouse or touch gesture to sort the cards. Watch the viewer total, but do not hunt for a single morally correct route; the friction between safety, popularity, and curiosity is the interesting part.
Good to know
The browser game is free and officially supports mouse and touch input. Its satire deals directly with censorship, genocide, colonialism, and imperialism. Sound effects are documented, but the creator said the jam build lacks audio settings; keyboard and assistive-technology behavior remain unverified.
