Really good twist on a classic story with some very good art to g along with it.

I liked this one a lot! The colors and art was all very nice, and it was a unique interpretation of a classic story. There were even some points that I didn't even think about (didn't even consider her wearing a wool sweater!). I think there could have been a little more juice - early on I wasn't sure if my sound was working or if there was just no sound - but the sound that was there was enjoyable! Also the beginning of the match-3 was a little confusing at the beginning. It felt a little out of place, but I won't complain. I just can't resist the simple pleasures of putting 3 things in a row (also as I'm writing this out I'm realizing the connection between the match-3 and the three pigs so maybe it's a lot more thematically appropriate than I thought). Also, love the design of the dress at the end, very cool! On one hand I wish we could see more, but I do think it made a nice reward for a game well played.

Thanks for uploading!

I just find the idea of wolves in sweaters inherently adorable

Sound design is something I should work on, noted

The clunky aspect of match-3 is that it doesn't support dragging the tiles onto each other at present, and clicking on everything separately needs some getting used to... not sure how to make it work though

Thank you very much! I'm very glad you liked it!

that was interesting version of wolf and three little pigs. Would have loved some music / sfx ... some of the text could have been clearer. match 3 was a little confusing, could be clearer if there is a gameplay goal or challenge.

The music does start a bit late, I tend to forget about putting it on the main menu

As for sound effects, I couldn't find any that I liked in time unfortunately, so that's that. might update it later

the minigame is there just to exist and make me happy about it working as intended, true
the reward for putting up with it is just a cute picture, the story is unaffected

Some of the text could have been clearer? Not sure what are you talking about; the one place I can think of (where there's too much text to fit into the textbox) was done on purpose

Thank you very much for playing!

It is a very cute story! Love it. Nice style and colors.

Vilnaf was very kind. I know is his silent way but still.
Hope they had a great diner. Glad everything has been solved.

My only complaint is about the minigame part, a bit clunky but I managed to do it.

Thank you very much!

oh thank god his kindness is visible
after I've seen other people playing I started wondering if maybe he came off as a bit too blunt

The minigame is mostly there for the sake of being there, which is why I made it optional
I simply like match-3 a lot, so having one in a game of my own is a dream come true
I'm just happy it works at all

I loved the style and aestetics of the game! It's very nice.

Sometimes screen flashed with black on dialog lines changes. (every 3-4 lines)

Thank you very much!

Screen flashes are unusual and I haven't seen them happen before for any other players. Do other ren'py games act like this on your device?

I did a quick search and people recommend to press Shift+G and try using different video renderers
