ScaleverseJust like dating in real life, you listen a bunch of tedious dialogue and then end up just picking the one you think looks the coolest! (LOL)
No, honestly, this was awesome! Very creative interpretation of the theme, cute dialogue, and holy crap that’s a lot of character art! I had to explore all 16 paths to see them all. Well done!

Katamari Space Program (KSP)Great job on this. I usually don't like games that aren't focused on mechanics, and while I don't think this jam project can be made into a full fledged game - I really do think it's a piece of art in some way and you can probably push it further to some degree.
I think the idea of chosing partners based on their 'morally gray' and ambigious interpretations on how they live or want to live life is amazing. Reading through the dialogues I'd actually stop and think about how I feel on what the potential partner is saying - and in most games I just skip all dialogue. The one that stuck with me was some weird bird thing talking about not wanting to work more than necessary, and how it's considered lazy by some but he just wants to enjoy life. That one really resonates with me, because I think often I try too hard at work or on some 'self-improvement' journey instead of just pausing and trying to enjoy life, yknow?
Anyway lol, great job!

TrashStashI love playing dating sim with ancient amphibian creature. The dialogues are very witty and cornily flirty that it suits the breed-to-evolution theme so much. Had a fun time playing this game!

Break Ouch!This was super cute and wholesome! It was always a nice surprise to see what my creature decided it was into. I love the anticipation of each new evolution, it reminded me of evolving new Pokémon in some ways. Really nice work!

The PizZooriaI love the games where you have to combine different things. You have made a really good game, combining an evolution game and a dating sim. Really loved the dialogues! Can't wait to explore other routes
