The tv terrified me, the game idea was pretty cool, and I played for a while, expecting an end to it? I'm not sure if there is or isn't, but overall, it was a pretty cool experience.

Thanks for playing. Yeah the whitenoise of the TV is kinda harsh,  it's the experience in the old days, when you have the volume high, and turn the TV on, and it happened to be on a not programmed channel.  I wanted to capture that.  Sorry to scare you :)

neat little game, I ended it with 260
I wasn't entirely sure what all the little bars did, it explained at the start but I soon forgot, and I had trouble understanding how my choices were effecting things. I noticed that her irritation would go up and stay up, even when I thought she was enjoying the radio. I also noticed that my character's romance score stayed the same when hers was very high.
Still, a pretty cool game, and I love the take on the theme!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to comment.  I'll try to make the stats and actions correlation a bit more clear in the next version for sure. And I am happy you think the concept / game is cool!

nice idea! sounds sometimes hit a bit too hard haha:) gj!

Developer

Haha. Yes, I had literally half an hour to do all the sounds, and reused and tweaked some existing sounds, all while fighting against falling asleep. :)

The white noise sound by the way was meant to be somewhat harsh.  I wanted to mimic the annoying sound of early TV's when they displayed white noise.  Other sounds are not meant to be harsh.  Thanks for commenting and playing the game!

I love me a little time-management game. This was fun, although a bit hard to know which actions had what impact. 

A little more feedback on your choices/actions, and this could be a lot of fun. Great job! :)

EDIT: Also, very creative take on the theme

Developer

Thank you for playing and commenting the game.

I'll work a bit on the feedback part in coming weeks, after voting is done, for the next version.
I find myself the idea thinking, how it can look like without the 1 week coding restriction!

Hello, can you "conquer" at the end? like get a kiss. I've just had game over twice.

Developer

Hi.  No, you can only try to get a hi-score.  Your score goes up, when both you and her are happy.
Might introduce a conquer in some future, since I like the idea.  But not this version, time was up, and did not think of it :)

Developer

This is a game, far outside my comfort zone.  Normally I write shootem'ups, but this time, I stayed close to earth, to explore the realms of a feelings based game.

The idea is that you, as a busy guy, have your friday night planned, but suddenly a friend with possible romance ideas comes over.   You still want to do your stuff, but since she is your friend, and romance may be in the air, you let her in.  But your mind keeps wandering, and it makes her sad.  Stay focused on her being happy, but not so much that you forget your own needs and wishes.  After all if not both of you can be happy together, what is the future looking like.

the game is made in html5 / javascript.  It used minimalistic graphics, with very few colours.  The sounds are synthetic, and reused from a previous game (with some tweaking).   The sounds and the game engine are the parts not done during the Jam. Everything else is.

To play it, use the mouse, and follow the "instructions".
