The only game I've played this jam that had me LOLing my whole playthrough! I can't wait to try out the patched version when it launches!

Me and my other teammates freaking voice acted this game and we were all laughing while playing through it. This is such a funny game and we love it sm. As a certified aroace myself I found the concept incredibly amusing, uber awesomesauce game you've got here!

That makes you the 4th aroace seal of approval I've gotten. Thank you very much! I'm so happy to hear you guys voice acted the characters in the game, that means a lot to me. Thanks for playing!

this is accurate it happened to me back then. thank you for representing my community. also i loved all the options for the speed date part... big fan of the flappy bird dude

Developer(+1)

I'm glad my silly little game could relate to all the aroace people out there! I also like the flappy bird dude. He just wants to aura farm and play flappy bird all day, the suit is purely for show.

Fun but the timer stops on 0:00 on a second day! I'm sure it needs a micro fix and the game would be great!

Developer(+1)

Yup, I already fixed it on my end and I will upload it as soon as the rating period is over! Thanks for playing!

Unfortunately I couldn't get past date 2, but it was pretty funny reading the words associated with each person.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I'm most proud of the words for the performative male.

the second dates timer seems broken

bro the horse took me out. That was really funy.

Developer

He got tired of "long face" jokes at the bar so he came here hoping to find more respectable love

Submitted(+1)

I was LOLing the whole time, but maybe don't take my word for it because turns out I lie way too damn much T-T

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Better a liar than to be hunted by a bunch of haters lol

I mingled so much and am no longer single. Thank you, single man.

Developer

You are welcome. I lead others to a treasure I cannot possess.

Very funny game. Loved playing this LOL. SUPER creative idea

Developer

Thanks! I hope to have some unique dialogue for each suitor in the future to give each person a bit more depth and to add some more difficulty.

As a fellow aroace-spec...I loved this game lol. The countdown was nicely implemented.

The timer did not work the second day but I would love to play it again if it gets fixed!!! :))

Developer(+1)

I'm actually not aroace, this is inspired by my friend who is aroace, but I'm happy that I got your stamp of approval :] 

I've got a fix ready to upload as soon as the rating period over, so definitely come back then!!!

man dating seems hard with a Countdown lol. but honestly the art and dialouges are just something so funny and goofy that its Great at the same time! Good Job!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Dating with a countdown is hard, but at least it works in this universe lol

Im echoing Charon here in saying the premise is really good and it was executed pretty well for day 1. Unfortunately, right now there is a bug which doesn't trigger the end of day when the timer reaches 0. I really liked what I played though. Lot of quick gags and riffing off of the stock assets!

Developer

Thanks! I was actually planning on drawing the suitors but I definitely didn't have enough time. So riffing on stock assets was actually my backup plan. I kinda like the stock assets more than drawing though, because I love riffing on them and just seeing what strange pictures people take. I'll probably add more in the future since you get through them pretty fast.

The idea was so FUN ! I genuinely chuckled while reading the dialogues 😄

Unfortunately the timer do not seem to work on the second day, so the game gets stuck :(

Still, great job !

Developer(+2)

aw man I was hoping my last minute fix worked... I'm glad you enjoyed the dialogue!
