at first i wasnt really sure how the rhythm aspect with mitzki worked, since i assumed the different symbols just meant to press different thing  - maybe thats on me i dont play many rhythm games TT;
but once i figured it out it was really enjoyable, and really cute seeing her reactions!
imo the ds game is a bit too hard, for me theres just too many notes 
awesome art, great sounds, lovely little game :P

LOVED playing through this! Really like the section when you look at your date and have to follow their beats. The music and art was so stellar! Can see this being a ton of fun with some more polish

Really cool concept! Unfortunately I suck at rhythm games

Great soundtrack!

Very cute, enjoyed it a lot. Great art and music. It did start a bit suddenly, I was kind of taken aback lol. The conversation rhythm parts were the most fun for me!

Wow I'm impressed, especially by the intuitiveness of the gameplay that I understood on the fly without a single tutorial, and only with few feedbacks.

With the little voices the characters make, it really reached the level of coolness and polish you could expect from a Rhythm Heaven game. The visuals are very cute too.

The mix between the two gameplay makes for a fun minigame, I would have loved to see it more developed, like with more frequent switches between the two, or with more animations that link the gameplay to the narration even more. But I'm only nitpicking here, that was awesome!

Well done team!

The art, the sounds, and intensity was very cool! Good job!

The DS concept was so cool!  And the voices worked well with the music!

I love rhythm games, so this was a fun play! Music is such a banger!

Very charming game!! Artstyle is cute
unfortunately im buns at rhythm games

Your artstyle is very cute.  My only problem was that the arrows were to far appart which made it hard to focus on all columns at the same time. I especially liked the Mitzi portion of the game. Having to respond to her was pretty cool and actually made me want to get the score as high as possible

I don't think Mitzi wants to go on a second date..
The art is really cute! It was just a bit hard to understand when i had to hit the rythm on the talking part

Submitted(+3)

That was so hard for me even on easy mode. I want to blame the small arrow keys on my keyboard :D
Maybe I could have done better if the designated buttons were four keys in a row instead of the arrow keys.
great art though. I wouldn't have to be good at it to enjoy the art

I'm not used to the kind rhythm game that's on the DS so it was a bit hard for me, but I really liked the conversation part with the "call and response" patterns a lot, congratulations!

Submitted(+3)

Great game! I really like the music and once I figured out the talking mechanic I was hooked! Hope you make more levels in the future. I also appreciated Mitzi saying "Uh hello!" when swapping from DS to talking, great design.

Beautiful visuals and UI, cool gameplay (too bad I'm bad at these kinds of games :( ), and a pretty good soundtrack! I loved it!

Submitted(+3)

This was super fun! Switching between the DS and Mitzi was really fun and the rhythm game aspect was really well done!

Thanks for adding easy mode ;) goes without saying but this is really great !!
