Nice job. I had some trouble with when it would move on to the next word/phrase, but the art and music were too nice for me to mind too much.
Thanks for playing! As the artist, I'm glad my work was able to help you enjoy the game xD
Appreciate that! I'm happy to hear that the music furthered the experience!
Beautiful game ! My score is 10 but with my level in english (i'm french) it was difficult to all understand sometimes ^^ It's not fault of game, so I didn't take it into account in my rating ;)
Thank you - glad you were able to enjoy playing even if English isn't your first language! Alas, 48 hours probably isn't enough time to include localisation options!
Nice game.
Note this though:
Every time I failed and started over, the music was over and the game was stuck.
Thanks for playing, and commenting! Yeah, it's a bit of a bug that snuck up on us at the last, that 48 hours was just a bit tight xD
Original and unique, Enjoyed!
Thank you! The team worked hard to come up with something outside the box, so we're glad you enjoyed it!
It's just great. You did a really good job. I think "i'm gonna go sell my job because i hate my life". A really good experience!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it, even if you managed to generate some unique quotes xD
5/5 for the originality! Thumbs up!
Thank you! Our programmer worked very hard to come up with a unique mechanic, and our composer to create music and SFX to fit. Glad you enjoyed it!
I did NOT score haha. Surprisingly funny game!
Oh dear xD Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game. Some options end up hilarious!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed our game!
10/10 "i love murdering, destroying my mom"
Haha not the most reassuring response - thanks for playing!
"I don't think we should continue with this date". I did say I like to sleep with myself, so go figure haha. Really cool game. The art and music was also great.
Thanks for playing and commenting! As the game artist, I'm glad you thought it looked well! Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, but that is indeed probably not the best answer combination xD
Haha, ooophf, more than one bird in the sky! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the game and the art and music!
The art is lovely and the concept is a nice twist on the dating sim genre!
Music is spot-on, too.
(also totally not biased because I'm a game artist who loves waterbirds)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our game so thoroughly!
(Hi-five fellow artist who loves birds xD)
Appreciate that! It's so nice to hear that the music fit and hopefully furthered the experience!
haha crushendo xD My score was 9, but trying to replay results in more rejection lol (restart the game if you wanna try again). Funny game, well executed!
Thanks!
Very fun game! I had to close the game every time I finished my date, to restart it from scratch, but that didn't really halter the fun take on the date sim. I ended up replying with my passion is murdering, destroying my mom.
Best passion, of cousre
Really great game, I love it!
Thank you!
Nice core! The game is insane and really funny.
Thanks for playing and commenting, glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool idea, loved the art as well! I agree with others about the timer but i understand that it was a design choice for the theme so it's fine after i get the hang of it
Thank you - glad you enjoyed playing the game, and the art too!
(In an ideal world I think we would have liked to add an optional timer and some other options for accessibility, but 48 hours is not an ideal world! Goodness knows I wanted to add so much more art than we did xD)
Cool idea, though I wish the brass note was a little more predictable, giving away the control of submitting your answer/the time to do it, but not making it unfair sometimes. Other than that, neat game!
Yup, feel ya, we tried to kinda fit that to the "Out of control", and make it replayable (because you want it to go well!)
I'm glad that it was at least a design choice! I'm definitely curious how a game like this would look if it went for the rushed comments idea in a full game, there's potential for sure. Cool game though, the art looks great for having it done during the jam!
Glad you liked it! As the game artist, I'm happy you thought it looked well, makes all the effort and stress worthwhile!
Super interesting take on a dating Sim! I kinda wish there was a timer to tell me how long I had to make a decision at first, but I adjusted eventually (so it really wasn't an issue). The art is awesome and music matches the setting super well. Awesome game!
We avoided the timer, cause it felt more "out of control" :))
Though, I feel ya, if we did this without the theme, there would definitely be one
I'm happy to hear everything matched up to the setting! We worked hard to ensure everything supported the concept and immersed players in this little world!
I like it! Very pretty. Definitely have some issues with it, only having enough time to look at all your options but not go back to the one you want but fun all the same :) Great music btw
Thanks! Yup, the deadline really killed us, and a lot we would've added if we got the time. A big list lol. The game is also meant for replayability, so if you fuck up your first answers, replay!
I feel you on the timeline bro XD I hope you submit another game next year :)
Thanks xD
Appreciate that! As the composer and sound designer its nice to hear that you enjoyed the music!
Only able to run from command line?
Sorry what?
Didn't open with a double click. I had to run it from command line. Still enjoyed it though.
Weird, did you unzip? Anyway, glad you liked it! Imma go check yours ;)
