Aside from the up/down arrows moving too the options too quickly, it's a pretty cool take on the 10s theme =]

Ha ha! 10 second dating sim. That's classic... I think you've started a new sub-genre. I think I'd do better with the ladies if real-life worked under these conditions.
Very interesting
I had real trouble trying to select the option I wanted with the arrow keys, but neat concept!
Good take on the theme. Same issues as others, touch picking right option and had trouble reading that fast!
Good theme fit and the writing is really funny. Fun to play.
Very odd.
Indeed it's odd.
Didn't catch the point... :'(
Nice shot around the ten seconds theme though.
It's really hard to read and choose that fast.
That is some fast speed dating :0) Highest rank was C for me.
Brilliant idea. The arrows and spacebar scrolled my browser down, making it hard to see the game, for some reason. I zoomed out to fix it, but the text was tinu. (I guess my screen resolution is low?) Great entry.
Hah, interesting!
interesting game, but text is too fast to read.Anyway good entry!
Interesting game, the controls were pretty hard to work with. Not sure if it was on purpose or not, I didn't have any trouble reading the text for the most part. Very interesting take on the theme. I feel like a little bit of context could have been added using imagery or sound though. I didn't realize that it was a phone conversation the first few tries.
Text is going really too fast. I would like to have much more than 1 ^^. Interesting theme however !
Nice 10 second theme, but some of that text went way too fast to read. Good game anyway!
The problem with this is that I finished the game in 10 secs : O
Funny idea, although not sure what was being said/what I was saying most of the time. It all goes a bit quick.
Good use of theme and funny too :)
ervion: Really interesting concept, hits the mood of the theme very well, everything moving so fast. Controls are a bit slippery thought.
Cool idea! Trying to make comment in 10 seconds. ;-)
Megaspeed dating :P Liked this, short and sweet.
Cool idea, these quickly conversations... ;) But when I lost I had rank screen and probably sometime something is wrong with it ;) Check it ttp://www.iv.pl/images/94546400354541488361.png :) However nice work.
*http at line two in link, my mistake ;)
Great idea, and I like what you've done with the text (it took a few tries to get used to, but that's part of the challenge). Unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot to it. It would have worked a lot better with more meaningful conversation topics, I think.
A couple of weird words: "unfornately" (unless that was intentionally slurred), "glooming".
Not much to the gameplay but I love the idea. :)
Cool idea, is there only one valid option?
Thanks for all the comments so far. I'm taking notes for all of them. Generally speaking I was way too full of myself before starting to write anything "it'll be something simple" (yeah that's right) and I struggled with my tech (which is not the point of LD right? ;) ). Here are some answers :
- I couldn't figure out how to make a good menu with keyboard selection so that's why it is totally weird and hard to play. If you have any resources about how to do that properly, share the love ;)
- it definitely lack some context. I didn't have time to make more artwork nor i though about about adding some descriptive text (well, retrospectively I had the idea at some point but then I rushed).
- The points calculation is indeed buggy, I can fix that. (it is in the rule to be able to patch for bugs right?)
- SPOILER ALERT : yes there is only one valid option :P
Thanks so much for taking the time to figure out the idea behind this game. I'll write a more in depth post mortem about the ideas I wanted to implement and how I could have improved everything.
One more thing about the text speed : time continues to clock while text is displaying so I tried to balance this side effect over the points. It doesn't work out well after all :P
fun but tough!
Damn, it happens so fast. Is this a statement about a stereotypical guy's attention span? :P
Selecting a response is a little slippery, I sometimes skip one item.
This is a pretty neat game, I feel like there could be a sequel to this :P
speed dating (sim) lol kinda awesome. I like the name choice to as a closet Evengellion fan
Rank: A. LOL I love it.
Interesting game. Needs a bit more everything though.
