I don't know much about dating sims, but found it absolutely hilarious that the dialogue for "tell me about yourself, Duncan" just goes right on by at the bottom of the screen while you're trying to survive a bullet hell at the top right that's influencing the relatability of what you say. I was laughing so hard I probably woke the neighbors up.
When I saw it was a dating sim with minigames, I kinda figured it'd work like the fishing one or the QTEs do - time would pause while you "decided" on your next response by succeeding or failing. The fact that it didn't remain that way was just so good. The loop of "mess up the minigame, look to see what hilarious thing you just said, mess up the minigame because you were reading, look to see..." etc. was very enjoyable even though it made me lose.
The only thing I gave this game low marks for was the theme tie - I see it, but it's not strong.
Thanks for the submission, surprising and fun!
