The evidence CAN be damning but it's important to consider why we'd want or pursue particular besties in the first place:) I truly appreciate you taking the time to play and also to leave a comment. I would say that it is an absolute miracle that most of the movement and effects work without everything completely falling apart or imploding.

Thanks again for the kind words and feedback! 

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, as someone who has both worked in retail and in the bland lifeless office setting, I know all too well that balancing those things is impossible. Some might say it's designed that way:) Oh and thank you for all the feedback as well, I truly appreciate it. 

as someone who might have been around when everyone was using LiveJournal and Xanga I'm very familiar with those kinds of 2k personality tests online as well:)  Thanks for playing and for appreciating all the little elements I tried to throw in! 

Easily going broke felt canonically accurate to the current timeline we all exist in:) Thanks for playing and for appreciating all the work I put into everything! Glad you liked it!

Cramming everything I could into a few days of "polish" while hoping it wouldn't all fall apart did introduce a fair number of headaches:)  I took everyone's feedback seriously but tried to hold myself back from overstepping where I felt I might be creating more problems than solutions! Thanks for all the kind comments and I hope you were able to excel beyond a mier mid tier bestie wage slave!!!

Haha, your comment and others on the first part of the jam really challenged me to figure out what I could reasonably add within the timeframe without veering too far from the original idea or over scoping. Sooooo I decided to triple down on the FEEL of clicking and adding more writing/context to vary things up:) Thanks for coming back to play again and also for leaving a comment!

(Shhhhhh...The super SECRET totally necessary leaderboard appears when you click the Bestie during the BESTIE REVIEW)

Haha, glad it was able to entertain you enough for a few plays! I tried my best to keep the sentences short and punchy enough to not drag things down:)  Thanks for all the kind words. 

I'm glad me tossing everything together and praying it didn't fall apart came off as extremely polished:) Thanks for the kind words about the writing, I tried my best to keep the sentences short to match the pace of the game! 

Glad you appreciated the endings! I was actually stumped for a while on how to present them or encourage people to replay at least once or twice. 

Ah, yes! Good feedback! The double negatives were  intentional because it became to easy when the scenarios were written too straight forward . And in terms of  WHY an action changed a specific bar being vague, that was ALSO a bit teasing/trolling  I wanted the player to feel with the game AND the overall idea of performing for a bestie.  I was betting that the short nature of the game wouldn't discourage them too much annnnd did at least show WHICH bars would be changed....just not whether for better or worse:)

It's okay to be a mid bestie when you're an A+ gamemaker though! Playing your game really made me want to put a little phone in mine too BUT I knew adding it would be too much for what time I had left:( Thanks for playing!

I'm glad that tactile feeling made you want to click more! I tried my best to do that with my very limited understanding of game feel without absolutely making the UI or readability a mess:) And yes, adding that bit of anxious energy was definitely part of the intent. I'm also happy that you thought the visual and sfx response was good, but it'd definitely be better if I could hand paint beautiful tiny cats like in your game! 

(Oh, and if you like CLICKING there's actually a SECRET LEADERBOARD in the game that if you find it, it'll upload your HIGHEST amount of clicks...for no real reason other than it's another one of "the small things")

Thanks for the kind words about the writing! I struggled to string together semi-coherent scenarios that would be easy to read and still feel somewhat entertaining:)  And I'm glad to know that the multiple-endings helped out too! (PS: I love the game you worked on a lot annnnnd I spent so much time on it that its pushed back me being able to play other games today!)

I did, in fact, spend way more time then you'd imagine trying to figure out HEY WHEN YOU CLICK SOMETHING WHAT WOULD BE NEAT and then tried to do that in the easiest way possible without breaking the entire thing:)  Thank you for the kind words annnnd I'm glad to know it scratched that part of your brain in the right way! 

Very Mid Bestie is still a borderline success! You're maybe just too well-adjusted to meet the very specific needs of the Truest Bestie. And really, not all of us need to be a Bestie Material:)

Thank you for trying a few times and giving me some feedback, always appreciated. And yeah, GDevelop isn't the best but it's very easy for me now to throw a few things together and it's always so satisfying just to create! 

thanks so much! I took a lot of the feedback to heart but kept the core concept intact...because I knew if I strayed to far from that I'd end up with MASSIVE feature creep! You and a few others said they enjoyed the little "no button" interaction in the first jam so I double-triple-quadrupled down on that and followed where that took me. Writing little individual endings and randomizing the dialogue though took a LOT more work than I thought! 

Ha, I ALSO am not sure what the aesthetic is called but lets just say I'm VERY limited with my art skills:)  Annnnd you could definitely say that having a bestie can sometimes be like a mini-trolley problem every day! Love that you had a good time and thanks for the feedback! 

Haha, glad you had a good time! I added as much as I could so I TRULY appreciate you playing enough to get that many endings! If you'd like to see how much has changed since the first jam, you can still access the old game within the new one! (It's a little hidden but I also explained how on the games page under Updates) Thanks againnnn!
