I like this plot：D
thank you :]
:)
I really really like the idea of mashing challenges that just get progressively harder as the game goes on. Reminds me of MGS games. Combining that in with you getting more and more progressively tired is so creative and smart!
thank you so much, i'm really happy you got the vibe i was going for !!
Your art is so good, I really enjoyed the experience!
thank you so much !
I love the aesthetics and very fun gameplay, although pressing keys so fast is hard. I couldn't get a good ending. The music fits, a bit creepy. I liked the messages. Excelent concept, keep going!
thank you for playing !
don't worry, there's no other ending, it's meant to tire you out, more of a interactive experience than "winnable" game, but i get how that can feel unfair
Omg omg then it's even better!!! Well done!
That pixel art is C.L.E.A.N. Each pixel is just in the perfect place
Really love the attention to detail in the background.
It almost looks overwhelming or too much to look at overall but as soon as you look at specific parts, it just looks perfect!
The gameplay is simple but the story is cute. I like how it wasnt click bait and just as advertised lmao
Really good job u did here!
thank you so much, that's exactly what i was going for !! my pixels appreciate the attention :]]
Really cute stuff <3 my fingers are tired now XD
hahah thank you for playing !
Very nicely done, and the art is probably the best I've seen in this jam, gotta appreciate that 1-bit art.
honored to hear, thank you !
Nice and simple little game. loved the art!
thank you, appreciate it !
Amazing game! The art direction and presentation, both in-game and on the game page, is absolutely stellar!
In the future, maybe adding levels of difficulty would allow players to choose how intense they want their experience to be.
Great work!
thank you for playing and commenting !
the "difficulty" was more meant to invoke a feeling of being tired than being an actual level to pass, you're expected to be unable to after a certain point, more feelings based game than something you can "win"
but if i ever try making something i expect people to progress with i will definitely keep it in mind !
Such a nice simple game, I wish we can interact more Point N Click style and occasionally do the little gameplay as needed, love the concept!
PSST also i fixed my game since you wanted to play so bad
ah ! an interactive room with cute animations sounds adorable, thank you for playing !
I loved the use of the prerequisite, as well as the graphics and music—they’re really beautiful. I got around 3 or 4 animations, and when the teddy bear’s eye fell off, it gave me a scare. Great job!
thank you for playing and commenting, really glad to hear you like it !
gotta stay focused, dating is a risky endeavor :]
The art style looks very nice, and the "death is your girlfriend" concept is an interesting idea. The gameplay was a bit lacking because not much happened when pressing the keys. We think if maybe more happened when interacting, it would have been more fun. Overall, it was nice and felt cozy.
completely agree on that! had a lot more cute animations planned, but i had to scale down, would love to go back and add some of that so success is more obvious when the jam is over
thank you for playing !
This game was such a unique and memorable experience. I really enjoyed the dialogue. It was very engaging and the mini-game you play during your "date" was a fun touch. I wasn’t very good at vibrating my fingers but i could find the correct key in time, and everything was explained neatly and the reactions were great.
The art is beautiful and really sets the tone, and the music fits perfectly. It all comes together really well. It’s creative, and surprisingly fun. I love the idea of Death not as something scary, but as a friend—and maybe even something more. A really good entry!
thank you so much for such a detailed and kind comment ! i'm really glad to hear you like it :]
Very conceptual, I liked it. Congratulations
thank you for playing !
I think the art style is excellent, but I have some issues with the gameplay. In my opinion, it's not very interesting and is a bit hard on the keyboard. Maybe this phase could have been made a little simpler... Other than that, the concept is interesting, but in my view, the main theme isn't explored well enough.
that's fair, thanks for giving it a chance anyway !
i definitely wanted something short and simple, and balancing the difficulty needed a lot more time and testing since it's subjective
i'm happy how it turned out for what it was meant to be, but that was my personal goal and vision not everyone is gonna agree with, which i'm okay with :]
idk, gameplay was quite easy for me XD
Neat concept. I love the art and how it interweaves with the gameplay. I also like that you don't have to completely restart after each failure. Though that last button could probably use some tweaking cause I had to use two fingers to be able to tap it fast enough. Good job!
thanks for playing ! i was debating if i should make the last mash easier or keep it like this so more people see fail dialogue + animations, since the ending is the same regardless if you pass it or fail enough times
definitely would've tried out how those changes feel to see what plays better if i had more time, thanks for the feedback !
The game was fun but the art... the art was impressive. And the game page looks awesome as well.
thank you so much !
Cute game! I'd love to see some indicator of progress or success and an option to lower the music volume. I enjoyed the satisfying button presses!
thanks for playing ! the buttons were the first thing i got done because i wanted to make sure it's satisfying, glad it came through !
honestly was considering adding visible progress, but i wasn't sure if it fit the game, if i go back to rework it i will definitely try out how it feels
and the music was a last minute scramble addition, the part i'm least happy about, thanks for the feedback !
It definitely did!
I agree that a "technical" number or progress bar wouldn't fit the cozy date theme, but maybe something like heart bubbles that appear when you succeed, and there's more of them the further you get in the date ^^
To be fair, I like the music a lot! It's just the volume that's a bit loud, but considering the time constraints you still did a great job!
oh you're so right, some hearts as a reaction would've been adorable !! if we're allowed to update after judging i'll definitely add something like that, it sounds so cute, thanks for the idea !
Absolute masterpiece. That last mashing minigame is borderline EVIL, but it doesn't detract from the game. Amazing work!
thank you so much, very happy to hear you like it !
she's just tired !! dates shouldn't require this much effort,,,,,,,,,,,
why is this so good 😭
cute girls deserve only the best !!
