Though I wasn't a huge fan of the audio/sound, it seems like a neat little quiz game. Cute take on "connection" (:

Hi. I like your art style and the humour is also great. Good to see a novel approach.
Thanks jas7229 & mrexcessive.
Definitely find audio my weakness and wish I'd had time to do voiceovers for the characters and a proper theme.
Great audio, it makes very mystery mood.
Love the humor :)
Very cool graphics and great humor.
Glad you liked the audio Tanner and thanks INC$D021 & cmayhem, tried to make it humorous so nice to know I got that across.
Fantastic humour, went back to check all the responses. :) I actually really liked the audio! Thought it fit very well.
Wow man, I hope I was supposed to find this really creepy XD I is however really well made :D
Such a weird game! The audio added a really creepy mood to it. I also liked your color choices! :)
Great art style! Fun little game!
Cheers everyone, glad some people are liking the audio and that some of the humour and creepy weirdness is getting across.
The audio is so at odds with the dating show vibe that it gives the whole thing a weird otherworldly feel which is really nice. Quirky, funny and nicely stylised, I checked all three endings and would love to see this expanded.
Great drawings! The background sounds were scary. ;_;
I also ended up marrying a giant blob monster and I'm not sure how to feel about this.
Thanks panurge the more time that passes since I completed it and the more I'm liking the idea. Have been thinking of expanding it later on. Want to add more characters, dialogue and voiceovers.
GAFBlizzard if only you knew what he was actually saying you might be more worried :)
I'm loving the style and use of theme! As another guy said, the ethereal audio set against the dating show mechanic produces something really unique. The graphics and colour scheme are fabulous too. I'm stumped trying to think of criticisms -- well, besides the obvious desire for the game to be expanded. I think these kind of peculiar, creative games are the reason LD is so much fun.
Thanks Snoother and definitely agree with you about LD helping with these types of games. Can't actually imagine having come up with this game and making it if it wasn't for LD.
Sweet game. And the most creative and fitting idea for the theme. i like it pretty much. The soundeffects in the beginning were disturbing and weird gave of the vibe of a saladfingers episode. Actually sounds and music for the mainpart of the game would have come a long way to making it more enjoyable. I didnt quite got to the characters though - guess that's why i ended up with froopal. But hey - good food is always nice. :)
Oh yeah and nice art also.
First dating game I've been creeped out by!
Dude that's hilarious...
Really happy people are enjoying it and been great to get such positive feedback. Definitely makes me want to expand on the idea and already have lots of ideas I wanted to include and improve.
Superb graphics and animations
Funny game !
Cool interpretation of 'connected'.
Haha, I enjoyed this. The audio got to be a little much, but other than that, well done. Very interesting take on the theme.
Freaky... in a good way :)
Hilarious, great to look at, and fun to play. I had to get all the endings!
Hahaha! I loved this!
The dialogue was so good; top notch humor here.
I want to see more!
lol, awesome, funny idea. i like the style and the music. i am just missing a little bit more gameplay.
The setting is appealing but needs more detail.
so weird. that's a fantastic. I love to see wacky ideas in LD!
Nice atmosphere.
Great take on the theme, though I could only make a connection with the human girl hahaha
I like the way you think.
Liked the artwork and your take on the theme. Good humor
Nice idea, like the way you approch the theme :) Like the strange sounds at start
Nice and funny game, congrats!
That made me laugh quite a bit! Loved Tranzion so much!
One of my fav games of LD so far - Unfortunately though the audio didnt seem to work for me. Still, great work!
This is so funny lol
Well done!
I think it's an AWESOME idea, but I really really regret we actually knew who was answering (even if the colors weren't here, it would have been easy to know who had answered what) isn't the goal of these dating game to NOT know who answered?
I really would like to play the exact same games with more bachelors and without guessing their answers.
Graphics and Sounds are great
Dating shoes are already kinda creepy, so having ethereal music laid on top was wonderfully appropriate. In a way, it'd be good if you didn't know which response belonged to whom until the ending; but considering the, um, disparate speech styles, there's not much can be done about that.
Went with Tranzton, tho. Fuck yeah Tranzton.
Thanks everyone, nice to see more people are playing.
And thanks Pierrec and GrooveMan for pointing out that maybe you shouldn't know who's answering. Been coming up with some possibilities for this feature today and have also started to plan some other contests. I want the expanded version to have about 100 characters and each to feel unique with their own style. Got some new ones I'm happy with and can't wait to start filling in their personalities.
Found this article which mentioned Zanlings Match so that was a nice surprise. http://www.joystiq.com/2014/08/26/play-all-of-the-connected-world-ludum-dare-30-games/?ncid=rss_truncated
In my opinion, this is a good example of art in game design. Impressive sound!
Great Humour, really fun concept and all the characters are well modeled. My favourit is the giant xD
Great entry, i really liked it a lot!
Really funny, cool game! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/KSNN8ZCA9kQ
Interesting and crazy entry. I love the strange mood, the efficient graphics and the absurd world you've created.
As you wrote above, there is not much content right now but the idea is really good :) I wished to have more control. Good luck if you want to develop it further.
Funny and crazy. xD
Very nice art style!
I would definitely marry Froopal. I'm amazed by the aesthetics and how the sounds fit perfectly. Loved this entry.
