Somehow noone shows up, its just me in the empty hallway. Thats not right, is it? :( Tried it multiple times... Can you tell me how to fix this? I love the main character and the attitude. 

Developer

That's not right, yeh, but it's my fault so dw. A fixed version will be available now that the jams have ended :)

hahhhaah the storyline/texts are sooo funny! totally matches the title!! the visuals and sfx are really nice and on point! although I'm out of the view most of time so I don't know what is going on except little hints from the sfx - that's probably the only thing I have to say!!

Developer

thanks :D, I have some last-minute trouble with the resolution son it's my fault. A fixed version will be available now that the jam has ended.

I can't wait to return to this game post-jam! Loved the concept of being a jilted, fighting high-schooler, and just sort of being a terror in the halls. The sprite art is adorable, and I like how the diary and the on-screen map is very pleasant and easy to parse. 

My only suggestion is perhaps making the text slightly larger to make it easier to read, if possible? (just for us folks with mole vision haha)

Developer

Thanks :D, fixed version is coming! And I will adjust the text size dw :)

I think the main premise of the game is extremely fun, I also really liked the school presentation and someone DID need to stop the romcom couples. Unfortunately the fact that characters are offscreen and you can't see reactions/progression made it a bit unintuitive. Looking forward to the completed post-jam version!

Beautiful message though, this could easily be a fable. "And no one lived happily ever after. The end!"

Developer

First of all thanks for the comment, and wait for the post-jam version to have the version I would have liked to have published :)

I liked the concept. I imagine there is supposed to be a way to make people like you by hitting them but I couldnt figure out so I made everyone hate me instead and then I "crashed out 3 times" apparently XD. I couldn't see the characters because they were off to the left and right of the screen but would definitely like to play this game again when its more complete. Nice work!

Developer

Yeh the NPCs should be on the screen and after the Jam ends, it will be fixed so it can be played as it was meant. Thanks for the comment :)

The concept of this game is very fun !
I enjoyed playing it even though the NPCs weren't  loading most of the time ✨😂

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the comment. it will be fixed once the jam is over, so come back later to play again :)

I love the concept, this is hilarious haha! The NPCs wouldn't load for me, and there didn't seem to be side scrolling enabled -- so the screen was blank BUT if I went off-screen to the right or left and randomly clicked, I could hear people getting beatup, which I assume are otherwise-happy couples LOL The idling bob of the main character's head and the swinging bat are well done. This is the best embodiment of rom com in a game I can think of, haha!

I really appreciate the comment. I had some last-minute problems with adapting to the resolutions, and that caused the bug, it's a pity it couldn't be played well, but when I finish the voting, I'll upload the corrected version :)

Really cute concept! I had to restart a few times for the npc to load but it was fun, I love the sfx lol nice job

Developer

Thanks for the comment :)

This game IS SO FUNNY omg, me and my collaborators were having a blast playing it. The screen didn't really work for any of us, but we were able to wrangle and beat up NPCs anyhow! The gameplay is really fun, and everything about the game is incredibly funny.

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment, I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to try different resolutions but I'm glad to hear that you had fun playing :D
