AHH! I love this, I would love to see this mechanic in a full game. Good work, I love that the sliders at the beginning weren't quantized, the art was really beautiful, and the mechanics were solid and fun to play with. I wish that there was a quick restart option for when I know I messed up, but it was fun to spit out the wrong thing sometimes. Good job!
Man, I was so bad at this :D Still had a great time though; Love the concept and the visuals!!! Best of luck in the jam!
This game makes me go YES!
LOVE IT! Such a great take on the theme!
Really funny take on the dating sim genre. Clever and silly, nicely polished. Great work!
"hate you like I!"
Clever game, it took me a bit to figure out you have to wiggle their stomach lining to wiggle the words out. But it was pretty fun after i figured that out. The visual style and polish is really nice.
Clever twist on a J visual novel. Really fun game. Nice!
the presentation is so detailed, especially for a 48hr game! loving it

Really good game, loved the aesthetic of it all. Great work :D
I really love this game concept, everything is awesome. the art, the music, the idea
I really liked the idea and the style of it all. The hand-painted-ness of the stomach was especially cool. I just wish there was some recourse if you accidentally throw the wrong word up! It kinda stunk having to restart for just one wrong word. Especially when the controls are imprecise (no necessarily a bad thing!) it'd be nice if it was a little more forgiving. Overall, got a laugh out of me!
Really great! The idea and execution are amazing. The core mechanic is cool but can be a bit frustrating. I like the sliders at the beginning, trying not to be cis-hetero-normative in dating games is always appreciated and not always easy (although the sliders still exclude some people).
We (Café Ducha Siesta) made a dating related game for a different jam and chose to go with a "everyone looks kinda androgynous and everyone is pan" vibe.
Wonderful concept, great execution, art is brilliant and the game gave me many laughs! Good work!
This game was addicting! I *still* couldn't say the right words, why am I such a baka
Great presentation, the gameplay was interesting but devolved into frustration at some points for me (accidentally jiggle the wrong thing and have to click through a bunch of dialog again). However, really does fit the theme in terms of feelings, really nice.
Yeah, I had the same issue. I think a reset button would be great
Whoa this is gorgeous. In-browser, non-fullscreen, I had a lot of trouble actually managing to throw *any* words up, but once I got more of a hang on things I loved it.
The customization is an especially nice touch, lovely vibes the whole way through.
So cute
Love this nicely thought game, a pretty original gameplay especially for a visual novel, with a very cute aesthetic. Love that you were inclusive with the sliders to create your kouhai and senpai at the beginning. It has a good potential to be developped further! The music also captured the ambiance of the game pretty smoothly too.
