I mean, you have to wait for the other person to post, ie make their turn. Careful management of resources will give you lots of posts to harvest.

Very similar to SMB2 in its sense of dream-like/nightmare-like simultaneous familiarity and strangeness. SMB2 started out as a different game, then had the Mario sprites pasted on it.
