Really funny take on the dating sim genre. Clever and silly, nicely polished. Great work!

I really liked the idea and the style of it all. The hand-painted-ness of the stomach was especially cool. I just wish there was some recourse if you accidentally throw the wrong word up! It kinda stunk having to restart for just one wrong word. Especially when the controls are imprecise (no necessarily a bad thing!) it'd be nice if it was a little more forgiving. Overall, got a laugh out of me!

Please Don't Do ThisReally great! The idea and execution are amazing. The core mechanic is cool but can be a bit frustrating. I like the sliders at the beginning, trying not to be cis-hetero-normative in dating games is always appreciated and not always easy (although the sliders still exclude some people).
We (Café Ducha Siesta) made a dating related game for a different jam and chose to go with a "everyone looks kinda androgynous and everyone is pan" vibe.

Game Fixer Kit 2020This game was addicting! I *still* couldn't say the right words, why am I such a baka

One Hit WonderWhoa this is gorgeous. In-browser, non-fullscreen, I had a lot of trouble actually managing to throw *any* words up, but once I got more of a hang on things I loved it.
The customization is an especially nice touch, lovely vibes the whole way through.

The Long NightLove this nicely thought game, a pretty original gameplay especially for a visual novel, with a very cute aesthetic. Love that you were inclusive with the sliders to create your kouhai and senpai at the beginning. It has a good potential to be developped further! The music also captured the ambiance of the game pretty smoothly too.

GPMI said "I like.. hate you." to my senpai and I guess we're mortal enemies now, oh well...
Very very cute game, love the artstyle and the concept. Really funny and adorable! The character sliders are a great touch :)
