Very cool spin on the theme!

Submitted

This is a really unique concept and a clever interpretation of the theme with a charming visual style. The gameplay felt a bit too random at times, but I can definitely see the potential for a really engaging simulator. If you can make it clearer how each choice influences what the friends become interested in, it could be something really special. I hope you keep developing it!

Such a cozy and adorable little mini-game! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, especially thanks to the soothing music — it really helps you unwind. I was a bit confused at first about how to improve my rating in the game, but after playing for a while, it all started to make sense

Submitted

The character creation is very nice! It must have taken a lot of effort to make so many choices. I loved the hairstyles! The game is pretty soothing to play with the atmosphere and audio, but a few features that increase engagement could help it be more enjoyable. Still, it was a fun experience!

nice cozy game however there is no way to restart the game when you win

Nice cozy game and LOVED the inclusion of a character creator! For the gameplay, the only issue I had was when the girls said they wanted to do something that we'd just completed. But otherwise, this was great, awesome first entry :)

Wow, this is incredible for your first game jam, while this generally not my style of game, it was quite engaging with incredibly unique and cool ideas. The art was also amazing, Just a couple of suggestions:

  • When you choose an option maybe allow the player to play a little game to keep it more engaging
  • I accidently won the game… make it harder to balance it all
  • Instead of having an ending, i think this game would work better infinitely, with it getting progressingly harder

Overall such a great idea with amazing art! Good work on your first jam!

Developer

thank you! i’m already at work on a second game that i plan to do mini games for. i appreciate the in depth rating so much!

Submitted

What a cute little game! Excellent art as well

Submitted

Congrats on your first ever game jam entry. A pretty impressive one to be fair. Character customization and a lot of cool art. I didn't understand the noise meter (is more icons good or bad?), but perhaps I should've paid more attention to it. A little SFX would do a lot for this game I think. That being said, I hope you make more games! Keep up the good work.

Not Bad :D, the art style was great but one complain is that the music got really repetitive really fast

Submitted

Really like the art style and nice choice of music! I liked the character creator as well. Nice job overall!

Submitted

Cozy little game and very Impressive solo work! Good job!!

Submitted

This was such a cozy and nice experience :)
I really loved the art and character designs, the character creator was a great touch! It’s clear a lot of care went into all the details, from the illustrations to the little choices! Really creative and original take on the theme. Good job!

Developer

Submitted

Had a lot of fun customizing my character!

I love the art, music was sooting. It went perfectly and I made some friends. Cute game. ^^

Submitted

the idea is smart and great. also it has too many art and details for every option. cool game!

Submitted

Liked exploring all the activities available, and the fact that you made a character creator is really cool!

Submitted

Fun take on "Risk it for the biscuit", trying to make friends. Cool game.

Submitted

Glad you got around to fixing it!

Made sure to do a couple "playthroughs" to get all the art and endings.
I appreciate it that you went to the length of actually making different illustrations for the different activities; and the shockingly indepth character creator^^
