It took me some time to realize... oh, sorry, let me flip the switch... ok, ahora sí. Me tomó un tiempo darme cuenta de lo que intentaron hacer con la temática de "fuera de control", pero sí logré captarlo. Para tipos de eventos como un gamejam, la temática sí requiere ser entendida de inmediato.
Dejando eso de lado, me agradó mucho la presentación. Me gustó cómo escribieron el personaje de la chica; supongo que es normal sentir simpatía por alguien que te perdona tanta barbaridad. Lástima que existen ciertos problemas técnicos, pero es normal para un desarrollo tan corto. ¡Muy buen trabajo!
Visiten nuestro juego :)

So I guess I didn't understood the appeal of a dating game where the protagonist doesn't say what's in the box... until you read how he always undermine himself ! It's a nice little twist in the interest of the game, where what is interesting is not getting the girl, but just knowing how the protagonist will screw up next.

The art is well done and the music fit. Unfortunately, as mentioned by you the game was not finished and there is a hard crash at the end, but overall you did a good job for a proof of concept !

This was very entertaining, I loved it. Shame it crashes when you get far enough, I would have liked to see how it ended. I hope you polish it up after the jam, great work!

Developer

We will! We'll post a polished build as soon as we can. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

This was hilarious! I definitely am planning to play it again to see the other options and what weird thing he says instead of the actual option xD I did get an error on the cat option and the game crashed unfortunately, which I though was just my computer until I noticed someone else post the same error.

Developer(+1)

Sadly, that always happens :(. There's no ending implemented so the game just kinda dies. ALSO, please wait for the real release after the jam ends ;-; I can send it to you if you'd like.

Submitted

Yes please, I'm kind of intrigued now!

Developer

Hey, a bit late but we did kinda finish the game. Here's the Newgrounds link!

Submitted(+1)

I love this game and it's play on control, especially since it's so relatable! I hope you continue to work on this

Submitted

Real cool concept. Sorry you couldn't finish it. Best of luck. No se si que eres el equipo chileno, pero si lo eres, mucha suerte!

Developer

Ehhh... supongo que somos UN equipo chileno. Somos unos amigos de un server de Discord nomás.

Cool vanilla is pretty is pretty.

Choosing one thing but then saying it in a stupid way is the exact thing my brain does this is great.

Submitted

glad to see someone else do a visual novel!

i had this error occur when i clicked the cat option (tho im not sure if it's my laptop's problem or the game's problem, but brought it up just in case)

good job!

Developer(+1)

It always happens, I'm sorry we didn't have enough time to implement a proper ending :(

Submitted

it's okay, I still enjoyed it :D

Submitted

Awesome game 🔥🔥

Submitted

Great to see another visual novel attempt on the theme, especially since it's also made in GMS2.

I did get a crash after the date appeared to end but continued, talking to seemingly no one, but everything up till then was great.

Submitted

Voy a suponer que si el juego tiene una opcion en español es porque hablas español, el juego es divertido y si bien a mi parecer no toca mucho la tematica mi mayor problema fueron los crasheos despues de estar un rato jugando y ambas veces perder todo por un crasheo decidi dejarlo, lo lamento

Developer

Creo que es más inestable en la versión en español que la versión en inglés :(. De todos modos sí o sí crashea al final, no tuvimos tiempo de implementarlo. La idea es que lo que eliges es lo que el protagonista quiere decir, sin embargo él no es capaz de decirlas porque es malo interactuando con mujeres, de ese modo, lo que dice está "fuera de su control". Gracias por chequear el juego!

Submitted

Ok, estocen jugare la versión en ingles porque la verdad me intereso!

Developer

mejor espera a que  lo arreglemos para que no hayan cosas raras y estén bien puestos los saltos de línea pls x.x

Submitted(+1)

Claro que si tu solo avisame y lo juego!

Developer

Aquí está la versión de Newgrounds! Igual puedes jugarlo aquí mismo :D

Submitted

Lo acabo de jugar!!! Mucho mejor gracias por avisar, fue genial

Nice game!

Thematically, this game is golden. Once I realized what was happening, it got funny fast!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

I wasn't expecting anything like this in the jam, good job! The furry line really made me burst out loud too. Wasn't expecting that!

Submitted

very nice art and menu your game fitted the theme perfectly were i wanted to say something but he would say something else, maybe after the jam is over you should continue to develop the game and make it like an actual date game where what you say you actually say it , good job keep it up.

Submitted(+1)

Wow wow, this game is a diamond. The art! Wow! The subtle way the character shakes and the expressions! Wow! Cute anime girl, my fursona can be a hedgehog if yours is, too. (i shouldn't tell people that)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your flattering words! If you'd like I could message you when we post the real thing :) (we plan on working on it for a few days and release a version that doesn't crash at the end)

Submitted

Please do!

Developer(+1)

Here's the Newgrounds version and here's the Itch version. Hope you like it!

Submitted(+1)

Eyyy

Submitted

EYYY You're on the featured spot in NewGrounds! What tips could you give? My team just released an update and we're planning on expanding to NewGrounds and Armor Games

Developer

Hey! Heck I forgot to reply yesterday. Actually I have no clue. I think we were mostly lucky and it took a while (about a week I think) before they featured our game. I think it's important to have a good thumbnail, and I saw much more people in the site on the weekends. That's about it. I also shared it with my friends and on Reddit as a head start, but most of the attention it got was from the Newgrounds community. Good luck and be sure to share your game once you upload it!

So, it's honestly a really cool game despite its clearly messy presentation and all of the grammatical errors. There's a lot of bugs and the game tends to crash a lot. The grammar, as I mentioned before is also very flawed. I get that you guys likely aren't native English speakers, but it was a little distracting, especially with how the text just cuts out of the text boxes. Otherwise, I honestly really liked how unique it was, and it was very funny, clearly fitting into the theme of losing control. Maybe the background could have been like an outdoor area, like a restaurant or a beach, rather than some random sky. 4/5 stars. If I had to rate it out of 10, it would be a 7.5/10.

Developer(+3)

Thank you for your review! Yes, we aren't English speakers natively. The biggest problem though was that we decided to write the whole game in Spanish, and because of how long it took to write we ended up translating the whole thing the last two hours of the jam or so. We'll fix the whole thing after the jam ends, if you'd like to play it again :)

Submitted(+2)

the furry line made me laugh out loud, even with the crashes this was still a fun experience! i'll be sure to come back and play when it's updated :)
