The premise of the game might be a shitpost, but the artistic skill on display is seriously good. One of the prettiest games I've seen so far in the jam. 5/5 for the presentation and music, seriously. You've got some talented people on this team.
I feel that the inclusion of Flappy Bird didn't push the theme hard enough. Sure, you play as the pipe in the dating sim, but when it's time to make a choice, it's just normal Flappy Bird. I would have liked the app to get the roles reversed treatment as well.
I ultimately enjoyed the game and was impressed, but it worn out its welcome for me REALLY quickly. Mostly because earning points for choices, while interesting, conflicted with the context and needs of the game. This is a jam entry, and we're all playing several of them. It's also a parody. The points undermine these two things by drastically extending the time the player spends with the game, especially with how extreme the higher choices are.
The player doesn't necessarily need to see everything on offer, if chunky games like Hollow Knight have taught us anything. But because the options are presented to them, the player DOES see what's there. It's just a matter of accessing it. And this is a dating sim where you play as a pipe pining for an exaggerated hot boy personification of Flappy Bird; of course I'm going to want to see the most absurd choices possible. So it seems counter-intuitive for the game's entire punchline to be locked behind a 40 point streak.
This is a solid entry overall. An absolutely absurd premise with professional-level presentation. And obviously it's not meant to be taken seriously. But poor pacing only kills the joke, especially there are so many other entries to rate.
