There was a ton of content in this game for a 3 day jam. The visuals, audio, and writing are all on point. The only issues I had were some readability/visibility issues with the font in a few places, and being confused about what I needed to do at a certain point where the game "opens up."
the sign of a good game to me personally, is wanting to either 100% or revisit it. I did both for this game! I BEAT UP YUMEMI GOOD. Fantastic music artwork writing everything. ONE OF my faves from this jam.
It is incredible this was knocked out in around 72 hours or so. The level of visual polish is off the charts. Going for the pixelated look was a great decision, as it lends a unique design language in terms of the Jam entries. The programming is also pretty ambitious; the custom UI really brings a lot to the table presentation-wise. You definitely got the most out of Ren'py for this.
The story premise is cute, but I did think it was a little opaque as to what you had to do to progress. The game does have seven (!!!) endings, so I assume you're meant to play through multiple times for the optimal experience, but I felt a little lost whenever I had to make a choice to go somewhere (i.e.: will this be the choice that ends my day? It's hard to know til it happens!)
Overall, this is an excellent entry with crisp graphics, ambitious ideas and delightful writing. I had some minor gripes with how the game was paced and how events could unfurl in Yuuka's free time, but that does not distract from the experience at all. Great job!
The writing in this was great and got a good number of laughs out of me, thanks.
Excellent presentation of a pissy Yuuka. My bones are cowering.
Great game. There are a lot of choices it looks like, and i've only gotten a handful so far. I love the writing. Though there is one issue of pacing being a little weird (like skips in time that aren't very clear)and i see some contradictions in events? Like Yuuka threatening the teachers to stop the exams but then i have to still deal with the exams and convince the teachers to change them?
Thanks for the report, sounds like there was a bug since you shouldn’t have to deal with any exams at that point.
What happen to this game？It update a little late
It got delayed, most of the team finished within the jam period but I had to deal with getting sick + assignments for college + sleep deprivation which meant writing took quite a while.
