Great to see another visual novel attempt on the theme, especially since it's also made in GMS2.
I did get a crash after the date appeared to end but continued, talking to seemingly no one, but everything up till then was great.

Voy a suponer que si el juego tiene una opcion en español es porque hablas español, el juego es divertido y si bien a mi parecer no toca mucho la tematica mi mayor problema fueron los crasheos despues de estar un rato jugando y ambas veces perder todo por un crasheo decidi dejarlo, lo lamento

Hacked OutCreo que es más inestable en la versión en español que la versión en inglés :(. De todos modos sí o sí crashea al final, no tuvimos tiempo de implementarlo. La idea es que lo que eliges es lo que el protagonista quiere decir, sin embargo él no es capaz de decirlas porque es malo interactuando con mujeres, de ese modo, lo que dice está "fuera de su control". Gracias por chequear el juego!
Aquí está la versión de Newgrounds! Igual puedes jugarlo aquí mismo :D
Thematically, this game is golden. Once I realized what was happening, it got funny fast!

Machines & Modules & MotionI wasn't expecting anything like this in the jam, good job! The furry line really made me burst out loud too. Wasn't expecting that!

Balls of a Broken Worldvery nice art and menu your game fitted the theme perfectly were i wanted to say something but he would say something else, maybe after the jam is over you should continue to develop the game and make it like an actual date game where what you say you actually say it , good job keep it up.

Bunny HopWow wow, this game is a diamond. The art! Wow! The subtle way the character shakes and the expressions! Wow! Cute anime girl, my fursona can be a hedgehog if yours is, too. (i shouldn't tell people that)

Two-Timin' TowersHey! Heck I forgot to reply yesterday. Actually I have no clue. I think we were mostly lucky and it took a while (about a week I think) before they featured our game. I think it's important to have a good thumbnail, and I saw much more people in the site on the weekends. That's about it. I also shared it with my friends and on Reddit as a head start, but most of the attention it got was from the Newgrounds community. Good luck and be sure to share your game once you upload it!
So, it's honestly a really cool game despite its clearly messy presentation and all of the grammatical errors. There's a lot of bugs and the game tends to crash a lot. The grammar, as I mentioned before is also very flawed. I get that you guys likely aren't native English speakers, but it was a little distracting, especially with how the text just cuts out of the text boxes. Otherwise, I honestly really liked how unique it was, and it was very funny, clearly fitting into the theme of losing control. Maybe the background could have been like an outdoor area, like a restaurant or a beach, rather than some random sky. 4/5 stars. If I had to rate it out of 10, it would be a 7.5/10.
Thank you for your review! Yes, we aren't English speakers natively. The biggest problem though was that we decided to write the whole game in Spanish, and because of how long it took to write we ended up translating the whole thing the last two hours of the jam or so. We'll fix the whole thing after the jam ends, if you'd like to play it again :)
the furry line made me laugh out loud, even with the crashes this was still a fun experience! i'll be sure to come back and play when it's updated :)

Demon StarImpressive, considering that you have made the sounds and the art in 48 hours. Nice work!

Croak-o-maticThe animations and art design are very smooth and beautiful.
Saying different things than intended was funny. Unique take on the theme.

Dont Loose ControlHaving no proper control over what I was gonna say was an interesting take on it. what I had the prompt to say what I was interested in, and it turned the prompt into a comment of enjoying furry stuff.
Overall it's pretty cute and funny. maybe for improvements some audio for the text showing up and selecting a button
I get a fatal error at the "cats" or "O" selection.

Trace - ConstellationHaha that was a funny game. I realised something was a bit 'out of control' when I picked strawberry ice cream and got pistachio instead! It was a bit of an experience being continually insulted by this girl! I feel a little offended but it's also kinda funny. ;)
I really like the interface and the art. It made it easy to experience the game.
I got a 'fatal error' shortly after the girl left, by the way. Honestly though, the comedic timing was perfect so I'm not even disappointed I couldn't see the end! Haha.
Sometimes I was a little confused as to who was talking when, but I'm sure if you checked through again you could fix that up.
Great effort! I reckon if you fixed up the bugs and added some extra polish, like button press feedback, it could turn into a great comedic dating sim!

BlobulexA couple of thoughts about this:
The art is nice. I like!
The dialogue choices don't often seem to line up with what I selected. I get that as a gag, but there didn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the mismatches.
I feel like I "got" your game more once I realized there didn't seem to be a way to get to a "Good" ending. I'm unsure though, because it seems like it repeats from the female perspective afterwards, but the game crashed at that point. Did you not get all the content you wanted in?

Out of Your HandsWe definitely weren't able to finish it in time, sadly. We had more ideas than we could fit in such a short time and to top it all off there was a power outage on my house 5 minutes before the time limit. We will work on it a bit and upload the finished product in a few days, maybe tomorrow. Thanks for checking out our game!
Funny, original and I love the art, ran into a game ending bug though! After he talked to himself about drawing it threw a fatal error. Also midway through there were text wrapping issues so the text would run out of the box off the screen leaving some words unreadable.

Lame Ice GameThe game crashes for me on the first dialog option after talking to the girl.

Doggoarigato Spherical CatoHa! Nice move with itch.io's custom nouns. A dating sim where you have little control over how the conversation goes -- gotta admit gives the theme (Out of Control) a very relatable context!
It'll take far, far better writing to justify the self-styled "supreme work of art" category you claim to be in though :p
