Date with Falco is one of the most heartwarming games I’ve ever played by far. The dialogue is spot on, seamlessly combining softness and snark, bringing tears to my eyes one moment and leaving me smirking at my screen the next. The art is lovely, and the soundtrack is (unsurprisingly) absolutely gorgeous—I feel like I can listen to it all day.
You’ve managed to pack so much emotion in such a small game, and it comes through regardless of how familiar the player is with the ship (or Star Fox in general). The game is poignant and emotionally resonant without being too maudlin, which is a fine line to walk yet you do so with aplomb. Thank you for creating such an adorable queer game for the Game Boy. I’ll definitely be returning to it again and again.
