Hey pals, heres something ive been working on for a while... i don't want to give too much info on what it is exactly because I really want to see if you can tell what it is just by looking at this site. (ie is there enough info to explain).
This isnt really something that exists quite like this so im really trying to give as much info as possible without being overwhelming or turning people off the idea... If you have a minute and can do me a solid, I'd love to get your feedback!

Nice work, cool idea!

Could be handy! Been on so many jobs with people swearing at tv's trying to get that to work with various attachments

one bump -- truly curious what you guys think. Ill let it drop if it sinks after this :D

I like the idea.
Because there really are screens everywhere from pubs to döner-shops. And why show sports that noone is interested in when you can have people interact and make them stay longer in your venue?
I probably wouldn't play, because I prefer not to look at screens when I finally don't have to, but that's just me.(And to be honest, the name was a bit misleading, because in my area, ‘touchy’ usually refers to boys who like to touch girls a little too much.
But that's probably just a linguistic peculiarity.)- Yeah, I had the same reactions. Fun idea, but engagement won’t be for everyone. And “touchy” can refer to some pretty touchy subjects.monospaced

I think this idea is solid, and you’ve done a very good job at showing exactly what it is and how it works in a very short time. It was almost immediately clear to me, and I can imagine this getting traction, no doubt. Well done!

Good idea mate. The site is clear and obvious what it is. Best of luck!

Clicked the link and completely got what the service is about. There's certainly a need for something like this so nice job finding an original idea for a business. I will agree that for me, when I see the word "touchy" there's a strong association with "feely"
Well done and good luck with this!

Great idea, explained well.
I think you need to make the fact that customers don’t need to login or download something more up-front. Even on the user interface at the venue - so it’s clear to customers, as well.
The user interface looks great. Would love to see some of that energy in the site, too
This has awesome potential, btw. Best of luck and well done :)
- Before clicking, the tag-line — with the name — suggested something other than what it is (Although it makes sense after the fact)Gnash

Holy fuck this is opens up the door for a bunch of really fun mini-games. Love the idea, love the landing page, that name is fun.
I hope you guys are going to replace those AI videos with some real stuff.
Well done

Super cool Nate! It's a great idea. I dig the logo too. It's got vintage MTV or VH1 vibes to it.
For the website, I'd animate that background behind the logo to give it a bit more punch right when you get to the website. And maybe even animate the logo.
Most of all, stoked for your new venture!
- Again, from Panic see the background when you mouseover the download button:

Movement rules AND the kids love it (from my understanding)!ideaist - ^ That panic animation is great.dbloc

Oh snap this is a ton of awesome feedback everyone, thank you so much for taking the time to check it out and give feedback. Thats a lot of mentions of 'touchy' -- might rethink that for sure haha. Really appreciate the support! Im really hopeful and slightly delusional that this could be a really cool thing!
- Projectile2
Yup, love the idea and it's clear as day. And the style of the site is very well targeted to your audience.
No feedback

Thanks again for all the great feedback. I tweaked the header background and added a bit more text / emphasis to the first 'slide' to better ID the intended audience. ("... your venue's TV")
Thanks for the background hookup dbloc - not sure if this suits it but i thought it was neat and felt on-theme:
If you did sign up for the waiting list, i didnt have it properly hooked up before (still just getting feedback) but its hooked up now, so if you ACTUALLY wanna be updated, you can sign up to the waiting list and itll add you to the mailchimp list.
Thanks again friends!

- will keep ya posted : )mantrakid
- Yes please, would love to hear about the progress.Longcopylover
