Love the art! I was especially charmed by Nessie's animations. I had some issues in browser with the graphics appearing in kinda random places, but the game was still playable for me. Nice work!!

Very fun, enjoyed playing this with my gf and reading the dialogue in silly voices. 10/10

Submitted

I thought the concept with dating between the different cryptids and their different dialogues, interactions and outcomes turned out to be very interesting.

I think one way the game could be improved is if the text could be made larger to make it more accessible and in general it may look better if the text was not so small.

Such a cute dating sim idea and Im so happy to see the Squonk in another game!

You deserve some extra stars for the title alone.  It was a little hard to play because the UI elements aren't setup for scaling so buttons and text were all misaligned on my widescreen monitor.  Still had a fun time, nice work!

First: the art is really cute, as are the sound effects.

Maybe it's because I only went on a couple of dates, but I feel like more could have been done with the calls; the fact that the caller never reacts to my answers makes the whole conversation feel one-sided. Also, it looks like the game doesn't scale properly? The window is quite small when viewed in 4K.

Admittedly, expanding the calls would have ballooned the scope, so I can understand why you didn't go down that route. And having a roster of folklore characters like this is really fun.

Submitted

What a cute concept! I like how you sort of play as matchmaker instead of playing the role of one specific cryptid.  The phone ringing sequence was a little long for my taste after the first call, one ring would be plenty (other than perhaps an intentionally long ring for a specific cryptid who is supposed to seem really busy or something).  Maybe some UI to indicate how well your cryptids have matched so far?

Developer

thanks! The ring is definitely a but long I probably should have made it more clear you can skip the ringing by clicking

Submitted

Oh jeez I can't believe I didn't try that. I figured I was waiting on them to answer! That helps.

Submitted

i got rejected by bigfoot yet everyone didn't die alone so i guess that's good news. i had a good time and its a really cute concept but i didn't really feel like my choice of character changed anything in the dates themselves. its a really cute idea that you could really expand upon with some extra mechanics and maybe some more options during the dates themselves. good job! 

Developer

thanks we will definitely expand it if people like it enough

Submitted

Is this a pun on "OK Cupid"? If so, well done!
Nice take on the theme of playing as multiple characters!

Quirky, funny game! I had fun chatting up cryptids. The animated character portraits looked really cool, plus their mouth movements were synced with their chatlines!

My one feedback would be, not to use white as the font color on hover for buttons with your buttons color. It made the words invisible! Also, a good QOL UI element might be 2 squares, one to show each player that was already selected.

Developer

thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

WAH I got jump scared by the welcome HAHA. Ooo I like the sound effects for the ui interaction and the phone call. Oh ho! The animations are super cute. Moth man is my favourite. I certainly enjoyed exploring the different interactions and I love the personality of the characters. Overall a fun little dating sim experience, great work!

Submitted

really love the creature designs, super cute and creative!! mothman is my favorite o.o

Submitted

This is really interesting. We made almost the same game lol. Mine is just 3d

Developer(+1)

ooh I'll have to take a look!

Submitted

Aw, this one is really cute. The formatting breaks a bit when resizing the window, I had to put it back together by scaling it until things lined back up.

Developer

yeah sorry it definitely works best without scaling. In the future I will have the setting turned on to fix that

Submitted

Really clever concept!

Developer

haven't changed anything about the game in the other versions don't worry just wanted to make sure it was available
