[this is just a repeat of what i put under the actual game]
its not really that fun or interesting but the art is pretty good and it feels like a waste to make this a side scroller since it would be the exact same if it was just walking through all the chests in a line with one mirror and wardrobe 3/10

Great time, really fit the theme in a cool way and the story felt very cozy.

This is really awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the topic of the game and it really represents the theme of the jam so well. I wish it were longer but it’s really great for a one person project!

This was a big surprise, for some reasons. First it's a little awkward for the theme of the bulling, wich is an accurate way to present a concept, but it lacks enclosure, and lefts some questions behind, what happened with the "friends"? will he assist another party but cosplaying? or even the family opinion considering he's totally taking mom/sis make up. 

I know none of those should be answered, but the take on the story was so realistic that I thought some of those issues would be questioned, probably if there was more a more easygoing start on the story the ending might be somewhat irrelevant , but I still can buy the story for the gameplay and that's the only thing that matters.

Picking the right clothes is really the funnest part of the game, since I honestly like the characters but even so I often forgot the eye colors or even hair (thanks for that, fanarts), so it's good to be more acknowledgeable on those facts, wich is nice. Also audio loops really fast, so it gets annoying if you take your time.

I would not like to live on this parkour mess of a house tho.

I really adored the art here! Jade is indeed super kawaii. Felt very nice seeing him feel good about himself. I actually had a lot of fun looking around for outfit pieces and mixing and matching them.

Overall a very cute game. It felt good seeing Jade gradually gain more confidence. I appreciate all the dress-up options, and I really like the art style of the sprites. In that regard, the art for the photos was really good, and the same goes for the music. The reflections on the mirror and windows was a pretty neat detail.

Super cute! It was a quick but fun game. The idea is really interesting and definitely very relevant for the Touhou cosplay community. I'm also happy Alice was one of the cosplays. <3

where can I find this mysterious impossible labyrinthian home filled with conveniently available touhou-themed clothing items in real life

That's pretty good! Also that was all by yourself??

The dress-up gameplay is so slick, to a Touhou fan that just makes you feel so satisfied knowing how the original characters look like.

There's this thing about Jade's motivation though, of which I'm really unsure. At the start, sure things didn't go as bad as expected, but to me, Jade looked more like he was chasing after numbers rather than... self-discovery? Maybe the game was too short to see what's going on in his mind. Anyway, with the way things were presented, that's how it looked to me.

yeaaah, that’s one of the things I wanted to explore - if I had the motivation to write it out, it would’ve been clear that the Number Go Up was just a way to get one foot in the door. maybe I’ll get it across properly next time!

For a one-person crew, this is an absolutely wonderful concept you've fleshed out. Making Touhou a meta instead of the main focus was already bold, and then centering it on the idea of the main character coming to grips with identity is even bolder still. I wish we could have seen the story unfold a little more, and understand Jade's motivations a little more (the "numbers go up" bit walked a strange line between being a joke and feeling kinda uncomfortable), but for the limited time and having no one else to rely upon for feedback, this is wonderfully made. You should be proud of yourself!

hello cave story. you can't fool me. i've pulled the same trick and i know a complete mychar when i see one

jade's house is very scary! i would not want to live there, regardless of how many chests containing a single item of touhou cosplay it held!

the lil dress up mode is pretty neat, it would be cool if there were some like levels and gameplay you could customize the guy for and then take the getup out for a stroll

aaaand the art is very nice, especially for this being a solo entry. otsukaresama

i hope jade does not fall into a hellish social media addiction

it’s not a mychar.bmp, I just really like cave story! big inspiration

(walk, walk, walk, jump, stand, idle)

also thanks!!! wish i’d had the motivation to flesh stuff like that out more, but alas…

i also really like cave story so the vague outline of a cave dweller is immediately recognizable to me. very nice though, i haven't played many mods in a while and its always good to have a comfortable control scheme and character pop up unexpectedly

and look at that you even made the on the ground sprite

i forget if the game mentions if youre gonna keep working on it or not but if ya do i will be there to see it!

Really interesting story and concept. I was pleasantly surprised to see a game that goes more (for lack of a better word) meta with Touhou and identity. I just wish it went on a little longer and that the characters were more obscure.

Awesome art for the selfies, and the gameplay pixels worked well too. Same with the music, both in sound and song choice-- I always love seeing PC98 songs appear.

In short, 'twas short, sweet, and unique.

Crossdressing and how it relates to one's identity is a LGBTQ+ topic I didn't expect would be covered here but here we are haha

It's a very cute game with sweet visuals and a pretty nice dress-up system. Not much else to talk about but you know, less is more :>

This was so cute and I love seeing Jade discover themselves. Major egg-energy and/or femme energy. The work you put into make the dialog and the super funny miniature cutscenes for selfie uploads is fantastic. I love it!

Neat little game with adorable graphics! Loved seeing Jade get more and more comfortable with himself as time progresses. The level design was a bit labyrinthine, which made navigation a bit stressful, but otherwise the game was fairly intuitive and played pretty well!

I love the concept! Combining dress-up with a platformer, and it goes great with the story. The music is great too :)

I love this game
