Welp, unfortunately I couldnt manage to get a good date, but I enjoyed this nevertheless so much.
It's such a creative take on this jam, which unfortunately I didnt see much of that this year. I loved the mechanic of scaling up words to emphasize them, and the dialogue was very entertaining.
As for what I would improve on: the sound deign, the art - not to say that the art is bad, the style gets you in a certain atmosphere, it reminds me of another game I saw in this jam, of two spouses arguing, but I feel like you could get it a bit more better, maybe more clean, maybe more detailed, better backgrounds etc. Definitely add more dialogue and perhaps balance the game out more, I felt like I lost way too many points for some mistakes, and gained way too little for some good answers. Maybe add different date locations/different date partners with different personalities. I see how this could kind of take after Monster Prom (if you know it). Maybe in the future you could even change the order of the words? Or completely take some out or include them in a sentence.
That being said, this could be so, so fun as a published game - both on pc and mobile. Please work more on it! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the work put in this comment! As for the art (as you can see in the credits) it is me and my friend who made all the programming with a tiny bit of help from "notSamur", we also made the art, and "ich1toni" made the music, both of us have no art skills and we are looking for an artist. If we had an artist, the art would be good and we, as programmers, would have more time to balance the game and polish it more.
That being said, we still don't have an artist :(
I hope we find one soon for all the other upcoming jams.
This was really funny, so rewarding to scream I am a game developer and get a good response!
In most of the normal sentences it feels a bit weird to change the scale of the words.
But overall i enjoyed it a lot.
Creative and cool game mechanics. Nice to have multiple endings.
This is hilarious, I adore this concept, unironically one of the best games I've seen this jam! It breaks beyond any genre I know of, and at the same time it feels super intuitive because it simply translates what we usually do irl in an understandable way. Controls are well fit, and very well explained with interactive tutorial. The style, art and sound is super cool, super consistent and adorable (tutorial text is somewhat hard to read, but it fits the style). The writing is brilliant, I laughed and was invested in the conversation, and ending along with sfx is bizarre and great! The only problem to me is it's a bit tricky to get what I'm supposed to say (maybe because I'm not native english speaker). On my third run I tried to fail intentionally to see bad ending once again, but couldn't. But it doesn't spoil overall experience as it at least seem to make sence and that's enough. Great take on the theme, great implementation! Great job!
Thanks for the response! Didn't expect to see such a thoughtful comment lol. As for the "I can't lose" thing, I get it :(.
Just didn't have enough time to actually balance the game.
your natural talent and knowledge of English in its written form is really quite impressive and thus you shouldn't be ashamed of it. (I am not a native English speaker as well)
I mean I did lose once when I tried to win, then I won, then i could't lose the third time. So it's probably not about balance, but about clarity of intention of what and how must be said.
Thanks for appreciation of my comment😊
really cool idea! well done
I found this game really entertaining and funny. Was a little confused on how to decipher if it was a good or bad idea to emphasize a word, but that added to the humor. Great entry!
This is fantastic! Loved the idea and everything about it. My date didn't go well because I was too excited to pick weird options and see how the game handled it (which it did brilliantly!)
Some confusion over how emphasising words would work but the results were funny so I all the better.
Pretty confusing at first but really cool game!
Interesting take on a dialogue system that i'd love to see explored further. Really cute to. Ending was a bummer though.
great, though you can spam space to win
Nice concept! Dating game haha
Really unique idea, love it! I did seem to do better with Delilah when I didn't scale the words at all, the more input I had the worse things got. Too realistic
Thanks, I will never consider dating after this. Will recommend the game though lol.
Anyway, you can really expand on this and polish to more to have a great narrative and comedic experience with full of mini games. I think android market has a great demand for this.
Really cool idea and gameplay! Really interesting take on the theme! Awesome job!
super cool idea and mechanics! i could see this being expanded into a full dating sim!
Fun game with great ending, Good Job.
I still don’t know how them tones work, but me and my (fake) date died in a bus in separate timelines, #Relatable
wanted to make it a happy ending ya know
Very creative Idea! I think the default scale should be more of from the correct ones. That should prevent the space spamming shouldnt it? otherwise just punish harder on wrong answers. Cool game :)
I think you're right
Not sure how the game actually functioned. I downloaded it at least so I could hear the cute voices, was worth it. But just kept pressing spacebar. Sorry.
Amazing game. Amazing theme. But if you spam space you guarentee win.
Yes i know 😢 we tried to stop it from happening, but as you can see it didn't work
