I managed to get a 14 somehow! Im not sure how the system for getting right answers work, but some of them did manage to get a laugh outta me (most notably, I would keep my job because I hate my money for the last one). There was a problem with restarting however, where after pressing play again the music would continue but then end and id be stuck, forced to restart the game.

As for the art and music, both were brilliant and fit each other really well. great job!

Developer

Really glad someone got to take their date home with a high score! Yeah, the game was made to be replayable, but forgot to *make* it replayable, unless you restart haha. Thanks!

Developer

As the game artist, I'm glad you thought it looked well! Thanks for playing!

Developer

Appreciate that! I'm happy to hear that the music fit and along with the art and that they helped deliver this little world!

Submitted

(also, I may be biased from being a furry, but I love the art, and it's impressive that you did it all during the jam)

Developer(+1)

As the artist, thank you very much for the complement! We went with bird-people to try and create a design that everyone playing could relate to more easily. I'm pleased to say that I completed it all without pulling an all-nighter... just!

Submitted

This is really far out of my usually genres, but I really enjoyed it! Loved the humor of scrambling through the options to avoid saying something completely stupid, and that pun on the magician's name was top-notch groan-worthy. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! Alas, credit for 'Crushendo' must go to a friend of mine, who threw music words at me until something stuck as I was too busy drawing to think xD Glad you enjoyed the game so much, especially as it's not a genre you usually play!

Submitted

Nice job.  I had some trouble with when it would move on to the next word/phrase, but the art and music were too nice for me to mind too much.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! As the artist, I'm glad my work was able to help you enjoy the game xD 

Developer(+1)

Appreciate that! I'm happy to hear that the music furthered the experience!

Beautiful game ! My score is 10 but with my level in english (i'm french) it was difficult to all understand sometimes ^^ It's not fault of game,  so I didn't take it into account in my rating ;)

Developer

Thank you - glad you were able to enjoy playing even if English isn't your first language! Alas, 48 hours probably isn't enough time to include localisation options!

Nice game.

Note this though: 

Every time I failed and started over, the music was over and the game was stuck.

Developer

Thanks for playing, and commenting! Yeah, it's a bit of a bug that snuck up on us at the last, that 48 hours was just a bit tight xD

Submitted(+1)

Original and unique, Enjoyed!

Developer

Thank you! The team worked hard to come up with something outside the box, so we're glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

It's just great. You did a really good job. I think "i'm gonna go sell my job because i hate my life". A really good experience!

Developer

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it, even if you managed to generate some unique quotes xD

Submitted(+1)

5/5 for the originality! Thumbs up!

Developer

Thank you! Our programmer worked very hard to come up with a unique mechanic, and our composer to create music and SFX to fit. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

I did NOT score haha. Surprisingly funny game!

Developer

Oh dear xD Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game. Some options end up hilarious!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed our game!

10/10 "i love murdering, destroying my mom"

Developer(+1)

Haha not the most reassuring response - thanks for playing!

"I don't think we should continue with this date". I did say I like to sleep with myself, so go figure haha. Really cool game. The art and music was also great.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and commenting! As the game artist, I'm glad you thought it looked well! Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, but that is indeed probably not the best answer combination xD

Developer(+1)

Haha, ooophf, more than one bird in the sky! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the game and the art and music!

(+1)

The art is lovely and the concept is a nice twist on the dating sim genre!

Music is spot-on, too.

(also totally not biased because I'm a game artist who loves waterbirds)

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our game so thoroughly!

(Hi-five fellow artist who loves birds xD)

Developer

Appreciate that! It's so nice to hear that the music fit and hopefully furthered the experience!

Submitted(+1)

haha crushendo xD My score was 9, but trying to replay results in more rejection lol (restart the game if you wanna try again). Funny game, well executed! 

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game! I had to close the game every time I finished my date, to restart it from scratch, but that didn't really halter the fun take on the date sim. I ended up replying with my passion is murdering, destroying my mom.

Developer

Best passion, of cousre

Submitted(+1)

Really great game, I love it!

Developer

Thank you! 

Submitted

Nice core! The game is insane and really funny.

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Really cool idea, loved the art as well! I agree with others about the timer but i understand that it was a design choice for the theme so it's fine after i get the hang of it

Developer

Thank you - glad you enjoyed playing the game, and the art too!

(In an ideal world I think we would have liked to add an optional timer and some other options for accessibility, but 48 hours is not an ideal world! Goodness knows I wanted to add so much more art than we did xD)

Submitted

Cool idea, though I wish the brass note was a little more predictable, giving away the control of submitting your answer/the time to do it, but not making it unfair sometimes. Other than that, neat game!

Developer

Yup, feel ya, we tried to kinda fit that to the "Out of control", and make it replayable (because you want it to go well!)

Submitted(+1)

I'm glad that it was at least a design choice! I'm definitely curious how a game like this would look if it went for the rushed comments idea in a full game, there's potential for sure. Cool game though, the art looks great for having it done during the jam!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! As the game artist, I'm happy you thought it looked well, makes all the effort and stress worthwhile!
