Fun game, for a jam game it feels like you both got a lot done!  Great art and text options, music fit perfect with the game.  I like how you can just do the 3 dates and its up to the player if they want to play more from that point.  Great job!

I had fun! I wish there was an option for me to reject them. I loved the art aesthetic. It was really cute.

This one made me smile the whole way through! Really loved the little personality cards that I could zoom over, and they way that the questions and answers were phrased. Well done, Sam and Sam!

This one got a laugh out of me. I found it really charming! Loved it. Nice work!

This is really entertaining! Gotta keep playing until I get three matches!

Great game. Went through several rounds but did not get to an A. Great work with the game and keeping it very variable with the different people. Thanks for making the game.

I scored a B - Isabella didn't dig me. No, Isabella, come back! ; ;

I really liked this little chat up sim :) It's nicely polished, with full game loop. The graphics and story were well executed and whimsical. I enjoyed the gameplay mechanic. My favourite part was the little blushes the npcs give when you said something they particularly like, that did make me smile. Only thing I would have loved to see added would be some sounds/music. But I think you did a really great amount for the jam (and way more than me!) :)

EDIT (Sorry my PC volume was too low, I replayed and can now hear the music and sound. I thought they were adorable and fitting with the general aesthetic).

One of the NPCs was a bit broken though, the sheet said they really really hate outdoors, but when I picked the outdoors responses, they instantly didn't like it (I think maybe they really really love the outdoors). Still, lovely game :) I will try to update my score about the music/sound!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!! Glad you got to enjoy the sound :)) And I'd have to see what responses you picked but if the NPC says they hated outdoors then that means you would not want to pick any response that mentions the outdoors, as I think you said you did? Can't be sure! But if you infer they hate that then that is just kinda a way to tell to avoid that subject if that makes sense :) Either way the NPC's are all randomly generated so sometimes weird conflictions are plausible!!

Oof hit and miss for me D: Nice aesthetics. The main gripe I have with these kind of games is that I often feel like I’m trying to guess what makes sense to the creator rather than what makes sense to me.

Nice submission!

Developer

Yeah super fair!! We tried to balance our subjective and objective opinions but many ended up leaning subjective lol. Thanks so much for playing!

Submitted

Really good take on the connections theme. You've done really well with the aesthetics. I felt a little manipulative picking answers based on the card sheet. The dialogue was well thought out though.

Developer

Thank you!! Yes we almost called it manipulation simulator cause that was our main thought lol. Very desperate person trying to do anything to make connections. Thanks for playing :)

Dating ? That's a way to connect to each other, well found !

I'm not in dating sims (I was bad at dating in my youth), but this is well done. For a rookie in Blender, the models are charming and have character.

The voices remind me of Celeste. It works well to make people speak. I'll keep that in mind.

There's a lot of text. For a non-native speaker even with a good level, this is much, but we have plenty of time to read and understand, so that's working.

I may not play again but it was fun and well designed. Thank you !

Edit : thanks for the Linux build. I appreciate. :-)

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!! Yeah totally a text dense game that's very understandable, we were definitely getting tired of reading everything when testing!! Appreciate the kind words :)

Submitted

Laughed so hard during my first attempt, everything went horribly and everyone was mean to me loool. Then I did a second playthrough, actually matched with all 3 candidates. Such a charming game, the dialogues and characters are insanely entertaining. The writing is really creative too, kudos to the dev!

Developer

omg A+!!! You should be very proud 👏 Thanks so much for playing!! Really appreciate it :)

Submitted

Get FFF , very realistic game :)

Developer

haha dating irl is exactllllyyyy like this :) thanks for playing!

Submitted

Ahhhhh very nice aesthetic and the speaking noises are great!

Gameplay is enjoyable and I found myself looking at the notes alooooot.

Nice job :D

Developer(+1)

im so glad you enjoyed our game! :) yay the notes/traits are meant to be looked at a lot its your cheat sheet! thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Oh my god I loved this so much! I had a huge smile on my face the whole time. There is so much going on visually and I love all of it, the low poly 3d art, the pixel art and low resolution, the text effects, it's all such a fun aesthetic. I laughed out loud at a lot of the writing and when the cute blocky characters got mad at me with their >:( eyebrows. 

I especially love how the dialogue was presented, the sound effects are so charming, and the different effects like color / size changing or animating adds SO much character.

I completely lost it when one of them called me balding and ugly. 

I've been at this for a while and I've gotten like 1/15 matches, I hope that doesn't say anything about me!

Developer(+1)

aw thank you so much!!! im so glad you enjoyed our game :) the art was really fun to make and both of us would laugh out loud writing some of the dialogue, im happy it all shows through

matches can be hard to get!! your 1 match out of 15 is now your partner for life.... haha

Submitted

I enjoyed the game a lot! I absolutely love the aesthetics and everything comes together so well. It feels really creative and original, and the music and sound effects are adorable. I also really liked how you designed the dialogue and choice options. Great job! :D

The voices for the characters are great, and the game has a really cool concept. Had to run it back because the first time everyone rejected me.

Developer

hope u found the one on the second try, those rascals can be picky!! haha thanks for playing :))

Submitted

I loved the different dialogue options lol. There were some really funny ones. I also like the sfx you had to go along with the dialogue 

Developer

hehe thanks, sam did a great job making our own voices into weird lil ones. thanks so much for playing :)

Submitted

Nice job with this one, I really like the concept and art style!

Developer
