Wow, the ending is surely unexpected... at least for me.

Although I don't really know how the swiping left works, I just keep pressing right arrow key to eventually get one match, and then I get to choose one of three options in every segment of conversations. The outcomes of these conversations were not much, yet still engaging enough to have me continue to see if there's an ending to this, eventually get an ending in this game. Don't know if there's another ending, however.

Could use some more conversation outcomes after a player chose an option, but I think that's the feedback I have for now. Good entry!

Thanks!! There is only one ending to this game so far, but it could be very fun to add multiple endings to it! Thanks for the feedback!

Very cute and very engaging! Even if everybody has a part of their body that stinks, I could find love and eventually lose everything that mattered to me in a tragic accident ;-;

Since you were asking on feedback on the discord, here's mine!

You wanted to know if it felt repetitive or boring, and in my experience it wasn't. However, after my wife died in the marriage i didn't continue at all. I would understand someone feeling that it is boring, as the profiles are not very diverse and described a bit all the same.

To me you need to be aware of one thing : it is by not matching most of the profiles that you create the longing for a match in the player's mind, so it is important not to make the matches come too often. This small frustration is what makes Tinder addictive and gives weight to the match. So please don't change anything on that even if you hear player feedback on this topic :)

Overall, I'd say all systems are very simplified but all needed systems are here, so the experience really feels complete. A little bit more content in the systems (like profile diversity, dialogue options) could be an upgrade, but the simplicity was key in my experience of your game so be careful with overfilling systems and making them hard to swallow.

So that's it for my feedback, overall very solid game I enjoyed a lot! GGs!!!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!!!  It's true that the systems are very simple, that's why I wanted to know if it felt boring after some time!

Well that turned dark!  Well done! It all came together well, the aesthetic, the music, the premise.

But the math... sometimes... the math? Ha!

Hey, is there any way to play on browser or linux? Really want to try it!

Developer

I can only export my games in .exe files, but you can use Lutris on linux to play the game with wine!
