Interesting game concept of a reverse dating sim, pairing it with politics requires some strategizing! Good job! :D

How does your game fit the theme?
In this dating sim, rather than pursuing one of many objects of your affection, you play as one of many princesses being courted by an awful prince. Be sure to not end up with him, but also don't do anything that might spark conflict between your nations.

I like the premise of a reversed dating sim! though with the way dialogue is set up with the dual textboxes I often found it hard to tell who was talking and just in general getting my head around trying to pick responses to foist him off on one of the princesses by appealing to their tastes, figured it out in the end though! Great job gettin this in on time

Space Bandit: Asteroids Strike BackA pretty fun concept for a roles reversed game!
It had quite a bit of charm, and it was interesting trying to pick the "rivals" best options.
Good job!

Dark King GorbinI like the idea of a dating sim where you don't wanna date the person. I'm not a big fan of visual novels so I just spam clicked lmao (Still left a good rating for the idea and visuals tho 🥺)

Make A Game For MeNice writing and a good spin on a theme, i really did not expect there to be so much content. Felt a bit confused at first though, but once i figured out what to do i got 3 endings (war, proposal, setting him up with a rat princess).
I guess making the goals and the mechanics clearer would help, because when i was picking correct answers for each princess i did not expect to end up with the prince in the end. I kinda can see the logic, but it felt like i was getting the wrong prize for the right answers. I hope you get what i'm trying to say. That wasn't much of a problem to be honest, just a bit confusion on my side. And it plays into subversion of the genre, so that's a big plus.
Good job!

UnThrusty SwordFunny story. There is plenty of dialogues. Unfortunately, I don't speak English fluently, so I can feel overwhelm very easily with lots of text. But I went through the end, and got the good ending ! I like the strangeness of some characters. The fact that characters have different emotions . Great job.

Bad AdventurersFunny and entertaining, and nice to play a narrative style game. Quite bizzare, in a good way!

Son of a Gun (GMTK2023)I love the art and it is so fun to play!
Just in general a very chill and silly vibe, great!
Submitted
Sheep Gone WrongI love the vibe this game has. It just feels very silly and fun!
Well, except Gog, screw that guy. I really don't care that you ate all your siblings!
Although, it is cool that another princess does care and that you can use that knowledge to set em up to get married together!
I did actually play all three routes since, if I'm correct, there's only one route which you can actually win? Could be wrong!
I think the art is very pretty, but the pixel density (I think that's what it's called?) between the characters themselves and UI doesn't really match, so it feels a bit disconnected at times.
Still, though, I love the character designs and I'm glad I got to play from the perspective of Rhae, since that is definitely my favorite design (not biased because I like dragons)!

Cubism with a side of ThornsGlad you also hate Gog! He's absolutely the worst. Thanks for trying out the different routes, and yes there's only one "true" ending. The idea being that you need to find his ideal mate or else he will get angry that you are setting him up with someone else and declare war. It's the kind of thing we'd like to make more clear in the final version. Yeah we only had one "true" artist with experience in pixel art, so we had several people trying pixel art for the first time as we just didn't have the time to make everything. So the art assets are a little all over the place. Looking back it kind of adds to the charm in a weird way though!
Rhae absolutely rules :)
I like the art and humor. Nice attention to detail letting text go faster if you click. Makes a big difference for a text-based game like this! Rhae is also kinda cute just sayin. Lots of text!!!
Also wooo nice to see another Godot dev.
I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute!

PelletThis was very funny. I was left a little confused at some of the dialogue, but when I did catch on it was very entertaining. Good job overall!
