Very cute!! Your art style is so perfect for this game :]

This is so insanely cool!! Thanks for showing this to us, I keep smiling whenever I look at these pictures :>

Nonbinary!

Apologies; this game is rather resource intensive due to the fact that we’re using a 2D game engine to render 3D graphics. We recommend having a decent amount of RAM available to play the game smoothly. Sorry for the inconvenience!

thank you!! I’m biased but I think so too :] Just a little baabaa

Thank you so much! ^_^

Grizz is a girl, yes!

A pretty game! The aesthetics of this game are very strong, and I think you guys did a good job tying the 2D and 3D aesthetics together. In particular, something about the laundry room's cg is especially striking - seeing that screenshot is actually what convinced me to download the game!

The one critique I have of this game is that some of the UI is a little hard to navigate. Sometimes I'd press escape or try to click a button and it simply wouldn't pop up.

That being said, overall it was a really pleasant experience. I read in the devlog that WKTD was an influence on the game, and as someone who has WKTD as one of their favorite games of all time, I can certainly see it! Good job, and excited to see what you come up with in the future!

Took me a while to get around to it because I wanted to wait till I was a little less sick so I could read this with a clear head, and it was well worth it!! 

There are many things that stand out to me with this, but I think one of the most obvious words that jumps out to me is 'juice'. There are so many little details in the art, in the UI, in the design, in the just... general EVERYTHING that elevates this from a good game to a jawdropping one. The level of polish on everything really makes things so satisfying, and I loved being able to pick out little details, such as the backgrounds changing between dates (I particularly liked the little mug stains!) or references to malViolence (the stickers...!!)

This game certainly DID whet my appetite for malViolence content, but now I just want to know more things!! I really hope I can hear more about Shriya, she had such an absolutely wonderful design, but for now the team should rest up!! Thank you all for your hard work!

I absolutely adored this game! From visuals and vibes alone, the aesthetic of this game was wonderful. The little CRT filter was an excellent touch (though props for allowing it to be disabled!) and the style you guys elected to go with was so wonderful! Was incredibly entertained by this.

And of course that's to say nothing about the writing! Despite being "only" 15k, I felt like the writing was incredibly full and long - in a good way! It's amazing how in depth you were able to get with the world of your game with that many words. The pacing was impeccable and I was never once bored, and I just! I love this game!! I need to sit back and ingest it but I definitely want to play it again to try and untangle all the little threads here. You guys made something really wonderful! Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you so much!! Everyone did an absolutely amazing job pulling everything together, it was really cool to get to work on this project :> Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you thought the timer had a good balance, and that you got a little bit scared at the end :> Everyone working on the project was so intimately familiar with where everything was that sometimes it was hard to tell how easy or hard something was, so hearing that is really neat!

I'm so so glad that you enjoyed Pearl's cringe fail antics paired with Grizz. They were really fun to write!

Thank you again for playing and enjoying our game! Makes my heart warm :D

Have you clicked past the opening cutscene? It starts in the sky with just dialogue boxes before it floats down.

A cute game! I really liked all the pictures of the good. I'm really curious, did you guys end up making that food yourselves? Regardless, good job!

What an absolutely lovely VN! I kept smiling the entire time as my heart felt warm and full. Everything in this VN works together wonderfully: the art, the sound design, the writing style... it really feels so wonderful! Thank you for your hard work, I look forward to re-reading this in a month or so just to re-experience these feelings again.

Dang that title did Not Lie

Huge fan of this! First off I'm absolutely astounded by the sheer amount of art assets in this, the art was super appealing to look at. The climax scene art pieces in particular were really fun, and the limited color palette worked excellent. I really like the grungy aesthetic of the backgrounds, as well!

The prose was fun, the intrigue was great, and the lore was explained neatly in a way that didn't feel over the top. It just was NICE to read; I just kept being happy that the protagonist felt so respected by the narrative in a way that felt liberating and satisfying.

Huge kudos all around, and shoutout to your audio person for doing such a good job on the sound design! Y'all should be proud of yourselves!

n incredibly wonderfully uncomfortable piece that rubs at my brain in all the right ways. Gorgeous prose that fits with the artwork perfectly and a very relatable depiction of depression, dysphoria, disgust at oneself, and regaining a will to live. Definitely a piece that will stick with me for a while, you should be proud of yourselves for your hard work!

Great work! A fun game with fun dialogue and cute illustrations. I'm very tender to found family dynamics so it was really nice to read one with it in mind! Thank you for your hard work!

This is SO sweet, thank you so much for the lovely comment and the rating!! And I hope you have a wonderful day ^o^

So happy to hear you liked the game, thank you! Have an awesome day ^o^

This is Sev hijacking Kiki's account right now, so let me agree wholeheartedly, they did such an incredible job with the art!! And thank you so much for the kind words ^o^

Thank you very much, glad to hear you love our characters! ^o^

Thank you so much! : D

I'm glad you think so, thank you!! I completely agree, I'm very happy that we stuck with a small scope so we could more time into polish and presentation ^^

I'm so happy to hear you liked the character designs- we started with those and they were so fun to make! And thank you so much for the lovely comment ^^

Thank you so much! ^o^

Thank you so much for this lovely comment!! I'm so happy to hear that you liked our little game so much :^D Hope you have a great day!

Nice to see an RPGMaker game in the jam! It was really cool to see just how much you managed to get done in 48 hours. Great work!

Really well done! Great job on the graphics and the interpretation of the theme. A bit easy but it didn't detract from the fun, and I could honestly see this being a full-fledged release with a little bit more work put into it. Great job, you guys should be proud of yourselves!

Absolutely adorable game! Definitely one of my favorites in the whole jam for visuals alone.  I also really liked the gameplay! The only critique I'd have was that sometimes it felt more tedious than frantic to drag the pokeballs one by one to the healing stand. Maybe having some function where you could make a motion to quickly group them up before tossing them onto the stand would be nice? 

Regardless, definitely really high on my rankings! Great job!

Very cute! Great job on the visuals and idea, really ambitious for a 48 jam! Good job!

A fun gimmick and puzzle game! Graphics were really pretty and I loved the limited color palette, and the work you did on the presentation really shows! Was a fun few minutes of my time, and I can very easily imagine it as a mobile game on the app store or something. Great work!

Great job! A fun gimmick that performed well and actually had me scratching my head more than I expected. Nice work!

Thank you!! We had a lot of fun making this game and turning it into something cute, so it makes us really happy to hear you say that! Have a wonderful day, and thank you for playing our game! :> 

Thank you so much!! The barking mechanic was one of the first things we implemented, so glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much! :> Thank you for playing our game!

thank you so much! :DD

THANK YOU GLAD TO HEAR THIS

Great game! The visuals were neat and upgrading units was satisfying. The only critique I'd make is what others are saying with regards to that it felt a bit too easy; other than that, really really liked it! Great job!

GREAT take on the theme, I was really excited to see another visual novel in the mix and you guys did great! The character designs are great, the dialogue is fun and the music is catchy! Great job, and excited to see what else y'all do!

Really fun! Took me a bit to get used to but you did a really good job of combining fast-paced action games with a bit of a puzzle element. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was really satisfying to eliminate enemies! Good job!
