THIS WAS SO CUTE. AND ALSO SO FEELSY. AND ALSO BIT ME A BAJILLION TIMES IN THE HEART OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.

I loved this soooOOOO much!! Their little back-and-forths?? The differences in their texting styles??? How Hallie kept accidentally saying cute little things and then trying to take it back/explain them LOLOL It was just so incredibly sweet and cute and made me want to shrivel up and DIE.

I really loved the artwork and the use of the phone on the right-hand side of the screen. I just love your art style! The blocky lines and the crayon-esque coloring are so unique and cute and I love the vibe it gives to this whole thing. I also loved the use of the sounds -- just the ambient city night sound accompanied by the ding of the messages. There was something very poignant about it. Also how you can get so much different dialogue depending on your choices??? I played through it a few times with a different variety of options and really loved how the convo would change directions depending on my choices!! Ofc there were some that were a bit sadder than others,,, I weep,,, but then there were the ones where the texting ended very sweetly ahhhhh 😭💕

Gosh I love how when Hallie called Lin immediately hung up in a panic HAHAHAH THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD DO. GOD. I panic if anyone ever calls me and 9 times out of 10 feel much more comfortable and at ease with texts instead. That felt so true to life lsakdjlfakds and such a cute little glimpse into Lin's personality. Also Hallie being so persistent in trying to get Lin to let her come over for the car ride LOL that gave me a chuckle. SHE JUST WANTS TO HELP AND BE THERE FOR HER.

At any rate, super super cute. I absolutely loved this!!! Just such a cute little interaction from start to finish and leaving me with so many fEeLs iN mY hEaRt. The title screen is so cute toooooooooo!!! An absolutely fantastic job!! 💕

HHEHEHEHE…. remember when i said i love tragic gays… 👁

IM SO HAPPY U ENJOYED!!! <3 they were so much fun to write for in a texting format like this, i could have seriously tripled the word count with all i wanted to include. who knows, maybe i’ll release a longer version or somethin one day. its so funny, because they both have those types of cute flirty little comments but hal always brings attention to it by being like uH WAIT I DIDNT MEAN THAT… like yes u did… stop lying 🤨… her gay panic is forever so relatable.

AHHHH thank you thank you thank you! 💘💗 u have no idea how nice that is to hear, (esp from u i love ur art style like PLS) i’ve felt like i’ve not had a distinct art style for so long and now that i’ve found this little niche of mine i’m just so pleased and excited to work o more stuff! i thought the limit on sound really worked in my favour here too, i’m glad it gave u the same type of Vibe.

eee im so happy to hear u played through it a few times to explore all the choices! i tried to make it worth the curiosity. :- ) it was so fun to get to explore how their specific dynamic is impacted by this type of communication, and how much more or less vulnerable they were because of the format. there can be something really intimate about texting sometimes, and i tried to capture it in some small parts of their conversations. i initially had more dialogue when i was trying to create timed choices so if lin didn’t reply quick enough it prompted hal to say something, (most of the time it was hal jumping to conclusions like always,) but that kept bugging out and pissing me off so i dropped it and just lengthened some other parts of what was already there lmao.

(the one dialogue branch that always breaks my own heart is the one where hal offers a ride to lindsey in the morning and u decide to ride with lindsey’s boyfriend instead, when lindsey scrambles to say that she’ll kick him out next time because she loves riding with hal, but hal just shuts it down and tells her its fine. 💔 WE ALL KNOW ITS NOT FINE. AND NEITHER WAS MY HEART WHILE WRITING IT.)

hal being so desperate to drive lindsey around… [dog “i know what u are” meme]

GAH thank you again for this comment, ur thoughts always make my day to read and i treasure ur feedback lots! thank you for playing as always <3 and i hope the eventual full release of loose tooth is everything ur wanting! 💜🐰
