  • A fun take on the "firsts" theme! Lovely collection of minigames contained within the tale of your first date.

Is there anything you want to say about your entry?
A first date simulation and probably the first game ever to use Traviso and ct.js together. You can pet the dog.

I loved this! The puzzles are pretty challenging. The only one I didn't like much was the guessing game, since it's more luck-based than the others.  Aside from that, I liked the isometric layout, challenging minigames, humor, and concept. 

I think you could take this pretty far - I'm imaging a "dating sim"-type game with several different girls you can take on different dates like this one, with more challenging puzzles and humor. I bet there are so many different funny situations you could put the player in if you fleshed it out more.

Great work.

I've been thinking about this heaps and really like the idea. Unfortunately my friend has roped me into his business idea at the moment - but when that wraps up... 😁

Great game, minigames are amazing but a little hard. Overall the work is amazing for 2 weeks.

Thanks! The minigames are 90% what came with ct.js which improved the turnaround time heaps!
