This was one of the cutest games I've seen this jam!! I love the graphics, and the concept is absolutely adorable. I loved seeing the occasional updates on the discord and knew I had to check this one out. Such a nice challenge. I think some additional UI could be helpful, not to repeat what others have said haha, but great work!!

A super cute game where you set ghosts up on dates with each other! There are so many unique ghosts, and every single one is adorable in its own way!!! It's already so cute for just a jam game, but if you were to make it a full fledged game in the future, I could totally see this being like a multiplayer game where you and your friends can upgrade your building to have more floors and seat more people! So cute, I absolutely adore it! 

Spectacular work, I really hope to see more from you in the future! <3

THATS A GOOD IDEA!! I've been compiling a list of feedback and things I can improve upon- an upgrade with more seats is such a big brain move! I might attempt multiplayer, but ive never done anything like that before :D

very cute! neat little matchmaker game.

i think it could use a little menu popup to easier reference the various traits and likes, but its certainly playable as is!

I could spend quite a bit of time on this one, and will circle back especially if you decide to keep working after the jam!

Lovely visual and music, it's cool how you crowdsourced ghosts from the discord! Fun little game loop, very cosy and chill. For improvements, could give some UI feedback to the player as to where a ghost will be placed and when you're in the right spot to place them.

Cute game! I do think it was a bit hard to control, I kept grabbing the wrong ghosts and placing in the wrong seats. I think an arrow above the ghost/seat you're about to interact with would be good as well as mouse controls.

Cute! Such an original idea. And you already have a lot of marketable plushies on your hands if you ever make it big!

Although I would have liked mouse controls to place ghosts, but maybe it would have made the game too easy

The ghosts are amazing! Loved the different designs.

I love the artsyle

grabbing ghosts and placing em is bit finicky so id look into making it a bit more intuitive

still really fun good job!

I've been following the little screenshots in the discord for development, and now I finally got to try it! It is such a fun concept, and the artstyle is adorable. Well done! 💛💛

This game is essentially just roleplaying being a dating app, I liked it!
The little ghosts are very adorable :3
They're all so unique aswell, I love it!

Very cute game and I love the concept of matchmaking ghosts in a little cafe setting. Super fun and would love to see it expanded upon! I will also note similar to what someone else said was being a bit confused by the controls and what would take a ghost with me and what would put them in the seat. Other than that absolutely great job and loved the different ghost designs as well as game play. Just a great entry overall!

i love the visuals!! i think it was honestly soo amazing how you brought in other ppl to add to the project! also everyone is so cute !! the concept is very unique imo, i would love to get matchmaked by death tbh,, && i make one hell of  a matchmaker i did so good (i think. )

One of my favourites! I love that different people contributed the ghosts

Developer

thanks so much!! Yeah I love all the different styles we ended up with! <3

Game is incredible! I love the blend of different artstyles and personalities of each ghost! the artwork is so cute, my only issue was the controls felt hard to use - I wish there was an indication of where a ghost was being put or what order of ghosts i had behind me.  but overall in terms of using the theme and coming up with a unique idea this is awesome! I loved it so much and had a lot of fun pairing couples together!! great job

Developer

thx so much aaah your input was wonderful! 

If we keep working on the game, we'll definitely try and use cursor with an indicator rather than what direction youre facing B)

Really fun game, I played until a point I turned invincible lol, after unlock the speed upgrade, I stopped to read the descriptions of each ghost and I only would set them to random ghosts until one of them be a match. Never accumulate more than 3 ghosts using this strategy. As you can see, I played for some time, since I have upgraded the gain monie per match. The upgrades costs firstly 5, then 10 - 20 - 40 - 80 - 160. Well, addicting game as you can see lol, congrats for that! Visuals and music are really cozy and good.

Ah good point! Maybe I should implement some sort of penalty for making a bad match, like a 5 second buffer time. Thanks for playing and I'm so glad you enjoyed!! <3

Yeah I think that would do the trick

Very cute game! gameplay was fun and enjoyable, I loved all the lil ghosties designs ❤︎

Love this take on the theme, didn’t think I’d see a Plate-Up-esque ghost matchmaker in this jam, but here we are. I would have loved to get some clearer indication of what you’re currently looking at. Many times I accidentally picked up a ghost instead of seating one, then when clicking E again to return it, I instead picked up a third ghost? It made the game more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall though, I found it enjoyable. Good take on the theme and a super cute graphics style. Also, we stan gay ghosts in this household.

OUGH yeah youre right- I put off fixing that for way too long and when I finally tackled it on the last day, I couldnt quite get it to work ;;
 If my friends and I keep developing this game, thats definitely first on the list of things to fix! Thanks so much for playing :D <3
