I like the idea and simple premise but I wish that at the start of the game you are given a base from where to start from. Meaning like there's already a friend in the group and you are building upon that group. Better yet, let me build my own profile where I get some simple "likes, dislikes" options and then let me choose the friends from there. Doing so I think would make the game even more fun. interesting, and engaging plus if you could "kick" a friend out of a group that would be good too but like the damage is already done so the person leaves but your happiness percentage remains the same until you replace that friend with one that is more in-tune with the group. Just some top-of-my head ideas. Nice work :D

Thanks for playing! I see where you're coming from. Might be a fun idea for a next build!😁

I thought it was pretty fun :D I would have loved some sort of penalty for rejecting too many people because I was like "I like friend potatoes and video games and I dislike anyone who does not like those". Good job on your game, it was nice to play!

Developer

Thank you! That's a really cool idea actually. I might implement that after the jam! Thanks for playing😁

I had a blast playing this one! The Reigns/Tinder style controls were simple, and I loved the look of this game. It reminds me a lot of 90s/early 2000s aesthetics, very cool. I also loved the categories (who doesn't like dragons!!!), they really made it fun to select who gets to be in my friend group, haha. My only quibble is that I think the text gets cut off at points, so for example "orange juice" sometimes shows up as just "orange." It's not that big a deal but maybe worth looking into once the jam ends. Overall really great concept!

By the way, we played your game on our stream last night!

Thank you so much for playing! I'm really glad you liked it😁

I didn't know about the text cutting off and I'll definitely look into it. Thanks again!

i love the acid look!!! it was fun, I like the complexity degree, the progressing variety :D but after a while, it gets hard to keep in mind what likes and dislikes you have in your friendship circle.

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

Yeah it gets harder and harder as you get further. Hence why it shows a little overview every 10 friends. I might try and think of another way to make it a little easier in the future😁

Cool game, super chill. Think it would be cool with more variety in the cards, such as a card with food on and you can choose whether you want to bring it to the group. Overall, well implemented very original game, good work.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! There's a total of 15(ish) topics it chooses from, but to make sure it's not too much to remember at first, it starts off with 3 or 4 topics and slowly builds up as the friendgroup grows! Thank you for playing😁

Really unique idea, love the way it's executed ^^ 

Art like this really sets it apart from games that just use other peoples assets. 

Great work!

Developer

That game will help me training my memory haha. I like the random event like "now your friend group hates fishing", that's a good idea! Also, the game is cute.

At first I didn't understand so I tried saying yes to only smiling people haha.

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah maybe the sad faces weren't the best idea😂

Great job! Super awesome idea for the theme. The game feels quite static but has very easy controls.

Thanks! Yeah I tried making it feel more dynamic by adding a lot of animations, but I could have added a few more things to fix that maybe! Thanks for playing😁
