This was... quite an experience. I hope I will never match with that "Santa" again :D
The dialogues killed me! The disturbing part is how close they probably are to real conversations...

Nice interpretation of the surprise theme!

Submitted(+1)

Certainly got the surprise theme, dialogue seems surprisingly lifelike to generic dating app and  got a few laughs out of me! Shame it isn't a little longer!

Submitted(+2)

Wow.. Santa was so.. It was awkward :D I'm actually glad it wasn't him in the end

Developer

it is probably as awkward as half the conversations I have had in generic dating app to be honest. 

Thank you for playing.

Wish it was longer :(

10/10 writing. Good job!

Developer

I wish it was a bit longer too.

Thank you for playing my game.

This was super funny, we literally laughed out loud. It's short, unlike Santa's little helper :smirk:

I loved this, honestly that Handsome Alien can Catfish me any day

Developer

lol, Thank you for playing 

Submitted(+1)

Lol I loved having that weird conversation with alien Santa. Good job doin it solo, I agree with others that I would have liked some more options and a longer game, but you did great with the time you had. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing. I learned a lot while making it, so I think if I were to do it again I might be able to make it a bit longer because I would actually know what I am doing a little more.

Pretty funny game! I worry whether or not it's deemed too inappropriate with the tongue-in-cheek flirting, however there isn't any explicit imagery involved. Decent artstyle. My only gripe was that the choices were too obvious and I won straight away without any sort of penalties.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I will be honest, I suck at conversation in real life so when it comes to making it for a game I really struggled. 

Part of the plan (when it was going to be a longer conversation) was that you were going to have more options to gain and lose hearts, but with the length and my derp brain... (there is still one option to gain health and a couple to lose all health, but there could be way more)

Thank you for playing my game.

It's very funny, and the ending was great and definitely a surprise. It would have been nice if it was a bit longer since its a quite short game and it left me wanting more, but I understand how hard it is to make much content in such little time.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I would have loved to make it longer, if only time allowed. 

Submitted(+2)

Ahahaha "gross, I am vegan!" As an actual vegan I love this :P

Loved the ending too.

Submitted(+1)

OMG. This game is amazing lmao. I laughed so hard while playing. I wasn’t expecting to be catfished by an attractive alien tho. I loved the lines.

Despite it is your first game jam as a solo developer, you did an awesome job.

Congratulations!

Developer

thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.

Goodness me my childhood is ruined
Okay nevermind so, art is good, story is fun, and music is great...I would have LOVED to have more people to meet but a good game nonetheless !

Developer

I would have loved more conversations, routes and endings, if time had allowed of course. 

Thank you for playing my game.

The "Santa's little helper" conversation killed me..... 10/10 dialogue.

Cool little game, great ending!

Submitted

Well that was a really weird turn of events! I do love the out-of-left-field ending. I felt maybe there could have been more variation in the conversation. I played a couple of times and tried different choices, but was always steered back onto the same path. Maybe something different with the graphics would have been nice too (e.g. make it look more like a dating app or something). Definite points for originality though and I was certainly surprised!

Developer

Thanks, the original plan was to have more endings and some different dialogue, but constraints of time during a game jam. I wanted to make it look like some kind of messaging app (so like they met on generic dating app and moved it to something like generic messenger app to continue talking (based the colours off the old facebook messenger design). 


Thank you for playing it.
