Ouh I like the game ! I would have liked to have feedback when we don't get 3 stars, because sometimes I didn't understand why, but it's fun to do the schedules of those girls. Your interns did a great job !
I like the way the character's surface level dislikes peeled away to reveal things they try to keep hidden. It was interesting trying to keep all of them happy while figuring out where to compromise. Good job!
Thank you for playing!! Glad you appreciated the hidden aspects, it was a fun way to lean into the theme.
amazing game!!! had so much fun and im really impressed how the sound and scores fits so perfectly into the game, it adds so much for the experience (i loved the small pops sounds doing the schedule)
only missed a options menu with volume sliders too but it wasnt nothing too big
Thank you so much, we appreciate all the kind words!
Such a fun interpretation of the theme! It felt very polished and as someone who loves organization, I loved the main puzzle aspect (constructing the schedules)! Great work!!!
Thank you so much! We also love organizing (or at least trying to be organized)!
Really great game! I loved the storytelling so much and the puzzles were also pretty challenging. Good job!
Thank you for playing!! We're glad that you enjoyed the story, it was very fun to work on!
As someone who loves Princess sims (e.g. long live the queen) I find it so fun to manage my character's schedule. Having four to manage (with their own preferences) is a really engaging spin on the formula and it's fantastic that there's a story/dialogue system to accompany it. Very impressive you did both the visuals and music. The UI is well-polished. All I could ask for is more random one-off events which change the schedule but overall great job team :D
Thank you so much!! Really glad that you found the scheduling gameplay fun (LOVE long live the queen :D), We appreciate all your comments, thanks for taking the time to play!
cool concept, very polished too
Thank you for playing!!
Very cool concept, great job!
Thank you so much!
Such a fun game!
Thank you for trying our game! Hope you're enjoying playing all the jam submissions!
Managing an idol group was not in my 2026 bingo but I loved it! Congrats!! ✨
Unexpected for us too! Thank you so much for playing!!
honestly one of the best games of this jam, so underrated! such a unique spin on the theme, to make layers of people, and the gameplay loop is quite fun! i would love to play an even bigger game, with more days and mechanics. The story is very cute also :)
This is so so kind, thank you so much for playing! We're happy you enjoyed it, that means a lot to us.
I really loved this little game, the story, and the design are amazing! I felt the scheduling got a little repetitive especially once I nailed getting 3 stars every day. But I wish I could have more of their story or mini games for each girl in between.
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it! Definitely think it would be fun to add more story and variety. Honestly the levels and rating system were tough to balance!
wow, i adore the concept of unveiling their true dislikes! the management part was very fun. special shoutout to the gorgeous ui, very professional looking. pretty incredible what you two managed to achieve in such a short time.
Thank you, that means a lot!! The ui was very important to us since the gameplay is pretty much all ui elements, so we're glad you appreciated the design.
I loved this cute little game and the story behind it! I wish I could replay the levels individually to try and three star them all without having to replay the entire game however
Thank you so much for playing! That's a great idea, would love to add that feature in the future.
Cute little game! It's always nice to see people who care about this sort of stuff - it can make a world of difference when your schedule fits just right for you (especially when someone else helps to make it with with you and pays attention to you)!
Thank you for playing! We had a good time brainstorming how to gamify schedules and make it satisfying to play.
Great experience! It doesn't really feel like a jam game. Wish it could be even longer.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
This is really fun! The gameplay is very tightly designed and fun, and I was surprised by how well the tutorial works, without feeling slow, so it was a great first impression. But the unexpected and best part is the story and the girls, they're all really endearing!
This is very kind, thank you so much for playing! Glad you had a good time with the story, it was very enjoyable to write the characters and dialogue. We spent a lot of time tweaking the tutorial!
I got so invested in them! Now I wanna listen to their music haha
Thank you for playing! If we had more time, would've loved to try making a full vocal track for them :)
