Thank you for checking out my game, and looking on the mobile version.I enjoyed your thought provoking creation, would like to have more of it! Good dilemmas!
Thanks so much for checking out my game and trying the mobile version! 😊 I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
I’m happy you liked the dilemmas—definitely something I’d love to expand on in the future! Stay tuned for more, and I really appreciate your feedback! 🙌🎮
Very cute concept, well implemented in the jam's theme! I was surprised to get "miserable saver" even though I chose kind and reasonable responses. I enjoyed the idea of choices and the music was great. Would love to see the game developed further 🥰
Thanks so much! Glad you had fun! 😄
And yep, there are 17 endings! To get the “good” one, you gotta keep your emotion points around 0 or +1. If you go too wild, you’ll end up with one of the funny mismatched endings—like the “miserable saver” 😂
I’m definitely thinking about taking it further, so stay tuned for more! Appreciate you playing and hope you’ll dive back in for some more chaos! 🚀🎮
The game seriously needs a history dialogue system to be playable. I don't know what happened in the story cause I have to keep backtrack to dialogues before but they are already passed. especially dialogue history when choosing an action.
I totally get what you mean! A dialogue history system would definitely help with keeping track of everything, especially during those action choices. Appreciate the feedback—definitely something we’ll consider for improving the experience. Thanks for playing and for sharing your thoughts! 🙌
Not me trying to get the worst score possible... But fun game!
Haha, love that you went for try the game (even got the worst score!) 😄 Glad you had fun with it!
There are 17 endings, so you might get a different one next time if you try a different strategy. Appreciate you playing! 🚀🎮
Nice game. Nice reflection.
I only received the same ending five times, even with -2 in some cases or +2.
I was always a saver — even if I didn’t care.
I thought there was only one ending.
Hey man, thanks a lot! Glad you played it!
And yeah, there are actually 17 endings! The trick is to keep your emotion points balanced—like close to 0, or +1 at most. If you go too high or low, you’ll get one of the off-balance endings, like the Saver.
Hope you try again and find a new one! 😄
Nice game! It keeps you playing because you want to see those number going up, it also fits well with the theme.
Thanks a lot! Really glad the number-chasing hooked you in—that was exactly the vibe we were going for! 😄 And awesome to hear it felt on-theme too, that means a lot. Appreciate you playing! 🙌📈
Good narrative game! I ended up as a miserable saver twice, but in my defense not having a proper working laptop as a student was not an option I was going to entertain.
Haha, totally fair! Gotta have that laptop—survival comes in many forms 😄 Thanks so much for playing, and big props for sticking with it (even as a miserable saver😜)! Really glad you enjoyed the story. 🙌💻
Really good game, concept and art. The subject is awesome. Well play.
Thanks buddy. Love to see you love the game !. nice to have a such a comment from you!
Hey, really fun game. its like those 2 am "what candy am I?" kinda game that you spend hours on just cause its fun! Great work!
Thanks, buddy! So pumped to hear you enjoyed the gameplay! Your comment got me hyped like Spider-Man swinging through the skyline 😄 Seriously, it means a lot—awesome to have your support!
I love that you have a README and License file (main criteria for open source category). Very polished README, I like that you included screenshots.
Love the sound effects (especially when you hit the button) and the music perfectly fits this. It's a very interesting take on the theme and I enjoyed the narrative you built, makes us all think! I wasn't able to get a different emotional reading at the end, even spamming different options. Great work on your submission though and would love to see more "levels" or rather scenarios in future.
Thank you so much for the kind words and detailed feedback—it really means a lot! 😊 You're absolutely right about the emotional readings at the end—there are actually 17 different endings on the game based on your choices! But sadly, most of the time game ran into a tricky memory bug in the game engine that made it hard to get them all working properly in time for the submission. 😅
That said, I’m definitely planning to continue the project and fix those issues, along with adding more scenarios and story depth. Really appreciate your encouragement—it’s super motivating! 💪✨
Anytime. It was a lot of fun playing your game. Well done on it. Good luck for the final annoucements.
cool game
Thanks buddy ! nice to have a comment from you. !
That was a fun game. I tried balancing but ended up being a miserable saver in the end! 😆
Great work on this! The only thing I have to say is in the About it showed a missing picture at the top and the game errored at the end, but they weren't game breaking bugs.
Haha, thank you! 😄 I had a few runs like that myself during testing! I’m really glad you enjoyed the game overall. And thanks for pointing out the missing picture and end error—those little bugs slipped through, unfortunately. They’re on my fix list, and I’m working on cleaning things up now that the jam rush is over. Appreciate you playing and for the kind words—it means a lot! 🙌💛
Interesting game. I liked the music and the scenario.

Very nicely put together visual novel adventure! I'm not usually a big fan of these, especially the decision based ones. I can tell that you put a good bit of time and effort into this though, and I played all the way through once at least haha
How many different endings are there, or are they dynamically generated?
Thanks very much buddy ! nice to know you like my game ❤️!. There are 17 different individual endings in here - for all the possible endings !😁!
Straight-up perfection. You’ve got mad talent, and it shows. Keep leveling up, and good luck with everything ahead!
