How does your game fit into the theme?
The game's themes are about Doki wrestling with doubting her chain of career choices and her sense of self.

In the game's combat sections, the player (as Doki) chains together Reactions from the audience watching her play in order to maximize the entertainment value of her stream and recover her confidence.

Now this is way better than last time.

Keep it up.

I like the idea of chat, I feel like there weren't many entries that pulled off a good chat mechanic. I wonder if someone could create a Doki vs Chat kind of game.

Thank you! Would it surprise you to learn that the chat mechanic was originally much more convoluted and confusing?

I can imagine it.

Umazing!

Cute pixel sprites! The controls are smooth and I like the two different weapons. Currently I am stuck with Mint at the bar telling me she's not entertaining. It is a bit hard to do the combos sometimes. Either I have to not shoot when the running one is on, or carefully not overshoot with the shotgun mission.

Fun game nonetheless, and I like the little stream chat window!

We're working on a huge patch of fixes that should allow you to see the whole thing and make combat much more engaging, if you want to check it out again tomorrow!

I really like the twitch chat function aesthetic! It's really fun reading lol. Although, the dialogue's texts at the moment are a bit small and I'm not sure how to progress through the starting area at the moment. I like the idea of combat mechanics so it'll be great once you get it fixed!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll let you know when we've fixed it, if you like.

Developer

We've fixed most of it, and there's a new version with about 80% of the fixes implemented on the Itch page, but we may need to encourage people to check it out after the jam.

I see.

The game's very broken at the moment (my fault), so I'd appreciate if you take another look in a couple days (if you have time).

Good job getting an entry submitted. I have to admit that I don't understand the controls and what I am supposed to do. I was able to change the gun somehow to an AK-47 and completed one of the missions, but I'm mostly confused on what I should be aiming for.

Thanks for the feedback! I believe I accidentally assembled a build of obsolete and new code, so I take some of the blame here. I'd love for you to check out our game again once we address these issues!
