This game was really fun! I loved the idea of having different ways of having to target different enemy types, and the idea of launching the tactical rizz grenade at your enemies was cracking me up. I will say, the green enemies could sometimes still spawn their attack after you killed them, which was essentially guaranteed to kill you, but that was the only real note I had. Great job!

thank you! im glad you enjoyed the gameplay!

Clever idea, never thought of mixing these two styles of gameplay together! As others have said would have been nice to connect the two together a bit more mechanically, but had a great time nonetheless. Also really liked all the character designs, and the music is outstanding!

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate you playing!

Submitted

Played it and loved it! 

Developer

Awesome, thank you!

i hit them with my balls, because rizz

seriously though, very cool and creative entry!  As an aide, I think there's potential in this sort of "dual-format" game for more interplay between the two.  like, unlocking rizz/dialog options via hidden collectables in the platforming segments, or getting extra boons for the platforming segments by successfully rizzin someone up.  If you're considering continuing development on it in the future, that'd be a cool direction to go in!  Great work!

Developer

wait that actually sounds pretty cool. Nice. Thanks.

Submitted

Nice entry! Very cool interpretation of the theme, I liked bouncing between the two different styles of game play. Definitely preferred the ball mode, that was really cool and unique. Having to pick and choose whether to do splash damage or not was really fun and could definitely be the core mechanic of a full game. The dating segments were pretty funny and I appreciate all the insane person options, those were always funny. Great work!

Developer

As the person who made those choices, i wish i could choose the bad funny options and still win but that's """"bad game design"""". At least some of them lead to an ok outcome lol. Thank you!

Submitted

Honestly had so much fun with the rizz bosses lol. Great work!

Developer

A wave of relief washes over me. Thank you so much.

Platformer by day, romantic by night, but always rizzing around the clock

Developer(+1)

The rizz never stops

Submitted

I love the art! And the music is nice! The gameplay was a bit tricky sometimes (my own skill issue...) but it was satisfying to clear all the levels! I enjoyed playing this game!

Developer

Very cool. Thanks for enjoying it.

Submitted

Those visual effects are very nice: loveball, background for the final boss especially. The dating sim part was super charming, but I wish the platforming section and the dating sim were tied together mechanically.

Developer

Thank you so much! I will say that at least it was thought about to tie them together better. But didn't happen because lack of time but the time it was thought about unfortunately.

Nah, I'd rizz

Rizzing left and right, Seren!!
Controlling projectiles with the mouse is a really cool concept that I'd like to see explored more. Switching between platforming and dating sim was nice, it kept things fresh and mixed things up. I would have liked seeing more efforts put into the level design and mechanics. Otherwise, great job. Very polished! I am concerned about how many people Seren flirts with though...

Developer(+1)

Seren needed to get their rizz up to finally match up to seraphina. but i agree, maybe too much of a flirt. thanks for playing!!

Submitted

Ironically the first level in this game was also the hardest, there were too many narrow paths for my projectile to go through and I'd have probably given up if the soundtrack wasn't so good! After some mingling I finally passed the first level, got my first rizz test and then I enjoyed the subsequent levels much more and eventually became the ultimate rizz master. Overall, despite some initial pains, I had a great time with this game. Well done!

Developer(+1)

the first step of romance is always the hardest. but seriously, thanks for the feedback, and im glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+1)

I was wondering why I have never had a successful dating experience. turns out I should have just shot yellow robots with splash damage for years

Developer

little known secret

Submitted

Super good- dating, fun platforming, RIZZ++ it has it all

Developer

Submitted

More games should start at the Dojo. Liked the visual effects of the ball as it moved and splashed. Ball also followed mouse very smoothly. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

thanks! will consider making all my games with a dojo at the start.

Submitted

very cool take! super polished

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

A fantastic game—fun, polished, and with a perfectly executed theme! The art is amazing, and I really enjoyed how you can control your power with the mouse. The level design is also spot on. Had a great time playing!

Developer(+1)

very much appreciated. thank you!

Submitted

This game is cuuute! Really like the music and dialogue. I did die a bit too much to those green guys than I'd like to admit... :P

Developer
