The voice acting was hilarious. Great job!  "The Pomodoro goes great with the water" lol.  I'm so bad at platformers - couldn't get to the end even on easy.

Wow, it's so fun idea, i really love dialogs and voices! I don't know if there is a possibility to win, but it's very funny to lose xD well done guys!

Whoaaaaa, I loved your game!!! I loved having to multitask between playing the GameBoy game and keeping up any semblance of a normal conversation, hahaha~ Ahhh, and the dialogue + voice acting was so good!! I also loved how awkward it all became at times, just like in real life LOL! I feel like the ambience of the restaurant added to the realism of being in that scenario even more, haha! Wow, it was a really, really nice experience! Very well done, guys! ^^

This is amazing, I love how I felt second hand embarassment like TinySquidStudios said. The voice lines were amazing, the sound effects from the game and the environment were really really good, the visuals were amazing and the half arsed responses are just gold. Well done! This game truly deserves more attention! I Cannot wait to see what else you guys make!

It's the first game ever to make me feel so much second-hand embarrassment! At least the ending helped a little bit with that :D

I had an incredibly fun time with it. It was honestly such a unique experience. Obviously, incredible voice acting!! I loved the occasional overlapping speech, it made the game feel alive. The dialogue captures the awkwardness of the situation perfectly. For me, it's one of the best entries in the jam. It's a real shame it doesn't have as many ratings, an underrated gem for sure!

Merci d'avoir créé une belle expérience!

I loved this! Great interpretation of the concept and the voice acting was great. The sound and lighting really gave it that restaurant atmosphere too.

Great work!

This was hilarious, i loved every moment of it but got to a point after the french couple where I wasnt sure if the dialog was going to proceed, the immersion and voice acting was super realistic and I could just see this as something that has actually happened lol. amazing submission 5/5

JumpBoi is a game for the ages! I liked how when you hit the floor it sends you skyrocketing.

Also I think there was maybe something else going on in this game, but I really couldn't be bothered 😜

Very cool game. It's a pity that your game has so few ratings =(

Submitted(+2)

Putain! The execution of this game is fantastic!! So funny! I didn't get to finish but i came here to rate in order not to forgot!!!
If this was webgl you would have vastly more rates!!!!
Needless to say I won't be going to Giorginos in the future!!!

Merci thracco, I really appreciate it :D Sadly the WebGL version was kinda messed up when we tried building & ran out of time to troubleshoot it. Thanks for playing :)

This is really funny. I love how you addressed the theme. It was a bit confusing at first. After I restarted for the second time I easily got the hang of it. Great job!

Developer
