Great idea and execution, wish it was longer and had more unique dialog to certain phrases eg. "Your Tasty", had me laughing.

The amount of detail in this game is immediately noticeable. Your team even managed to have the time to do little things like have voice acting and character sliders. That's so cool!

I hate like you.

I mean, cool idea and pretty neat visuals! I'd really like if there was some more outcomes instead of just losing. Like, how our character would deep dive into more and more stupid sentences if we miss the first one.

Love it, just like a high school romcom

Really cool concept and fitting art style. Pretty hard to get the right words out sometimes, literally and figuratively ;) Fits the theme perfectly.

very nice concept.

This is so cool! I don't know if intended, but it could be cool if the senpai stayed the same during the whole gameplay once generated.

Great job!

Thank you!! Yes, it was supposed to stay the same but i accidentally mixed up the sprites while i was configuring the second level haha

This was a lot of fun! A cool twist on the visual novel stuff, the visuals were really cool, gameplay was fun and story was light and nice!

full for originality, and I like the art and animation too.

Very adorable and dreamlike, my only want is for the stomach to be easier to grab to make bounce shots from the edges of the stomach work easier.

This game was really smart and well put together! An original concept that perfectly captured the gross and awkward feels of having a crush, which difficult but rewarding gameplay to boot! I really liked the ability to change the look of the two characters, a really cute addition! I hope y'all add more to this game post-jam, I'd love to play more!

Really original concept, I first was scared that it was going to just be another dating sims, but you really found a cool game mecanic behind being scare to talk to your crush. Was a bit hard to understand at the beginning, but you did the right thing with the hand.

Overall Good Job !

Hilarious stuff. Great artwork. Needs some different responses to different answers for a more interesting time. (Its usually harder to tell someone that their food sucks. lol)

"So what do you think?"
"It's... you're... uhh..."

"Tasty!"
"So good you cannot speak?"

*Failed*

It's a really good Idea though, and I really like the visuals and audio! :)
