Ranked from 16 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

What was the theme you used for your entry?
Dating Simulator/Bullet Hell

What was the most challenging part of making your entry?
Incorporating both of the themes into a cohesive experience. Also 2d animation is something I'm still learning.

What was the most fun part?
Writing some of the comedic dialogue and learning more about 2d programming

Anything else to add? (important controls, assets used, special mentions, etc)
The game uses the keys "ASD" in the controls, so typical WASD movement doesn't work. You need to use the Directional Keys.

That was a interesting take on speed dating.

"How do you feel about me not stopping time anymore for our conversations" I love meta things like that in games, always takes me by surprise.

"I'm like a unicorn...only fatter" XD

Developer

hahaha glad you enjoyed the dialogue!!!

I really adore this idea, I think you should totally flesh it out into something more polished XD I did not like having to use the arrow keys for movement tho, arrow keys never feel good to use. Also the lil guy's laugh is A++

I definitely agree! 3/4 in I realized I kept wanting to use WASD but was already too far gone at that point to figure out another way to handle all the mechanics. Will definitely keep this in mind for next time and thanks for the feedback!

Kinda annoying dodging missiles. But I like the conversations.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! I would have loved to have a greater variety of enemies or a way to shoot down the missiles, but unfortunately I ran out time! Hopefully my next jam I’ll have a stronger skill set to more quickly do more

this was awesome! I wish I could do those effects with light etc.. I'll have to learn :) One of the best made, funniest game of the Jam so far! :D

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I do follow Brakeys.. togheter with James and other channel with tutorials so I've seen this one. But since I've started learning how to code I concentrated myself more on the "basic" parts of game dev in Unity and still didn't put myself into lights that much.. So I'll have to learn lughts, particles and shaders soon :)

Very interesting Mechanics!

This was great! I really loved the dialogue for the characters, it was funny and well written :) It was incredibly stressful dodging the missiles (in a good way) and getting to relax a little while talking was nice. Except when the character decides to let you keep playing while they talk :D Really great stuff, and you packed a lot in for such a short amount of time working on it! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much!!!! Really appreciate it! And I agree about the characters talking, thought it was a neat mechanic but it definitely detracts from being able to read the dialogue.

Such a fun and original game! I especially like the characters and dialogue
