I got an error when trying to launch it, apparently the game is hung though.

creepyounguy 2018-04-23 06:22

This voice acting makes me hard

serious07 2018-04-23 06:24

Great game! Indiana Jones Dating simulator. :D

vilix64 2018-04-23 06:44

Awesome game! :smile: Had fun playing it, keep it up.

dirtymoonz 2018-04-23 07:32

"Oh, you're mine now". Love this guy's voice. Fun game!

hyorvenn 2018-04-23 08:01

That voice is just perfect.

The game is really fun to play, but maybe it's a bit too easy once you got the trick (Wait to be at least 10 000m away from the rock -> date finished 100% of the time). With a bit more traps, maybe some sort of events ? Like assassin lady instead of a date, lady crowds because the MC is such a dandy, etc ...

jk5000 2018-04-23 08:13

@hyorvenn you are absolutely right the game need too be more difficult, but for now I am just happy that I have a game that is playable. For me the main focus for this game was the voice acting, so I am happy you liked it.

bryan-coen 2018-04-23 12:15

Great job! Game is fun to play and works splendidly.

temmy 2018-04-23 12:16

I really want a 'lovvvve pillow' now.

marcial 2018-04-23 12:39

I like your game, can you evaluate mine?

james-leib 2018-04-23 13:42

I really like the idea. Matches the theme well. Voices are good.. Well done!

belga54 2018-04-23 13:59

Well it crashed on my computer, and my screen was [broken](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/plane-fishing/webgl-version-released-and-a-compo-ended-with-a-broken-screen) during this jam and your game is full-screen only, so... I cant play your game ** :worried: **.Though it looks so interesting.

radical-dog 2018-04-23 16:28

It was a bit scary having such a long black screen at the start! Good work on the voice acting. I feel like the dates should have been a bit more of a "mini-game" rather than just clicking and waiting, and also they would sometimes not appear for ages and ages - so it needs to have a min and max time between spawning dates.

manimal 2018-04-23 23:11

:D the idea dude :D, nice dabbing!!!

remusnomos 2018-04-24 00:50

Got a Date Score of 569, can you beat this? :P I loved that voice acting very much!

efmi 2018-04-24 12:19

Really help me on getting my dating life back together.

Jokes aside it was a great game, and definetely the best game I've played so far. Voice acting was hilarious and the execution of theme was perfect. Thank you, for creating this awesome masterpiece!

vasco-freitas 2018-04-24 16:36

Pretty funny game :) It would have been nice if the dates were harder, such as losing progress if you say the same thing twice, and changing the position of the buttons. Also, the difficulty needs to get harder, at a certain point I could keep playing forever.

2018-04-24 16:45

Nice effort, but not very fun to play. A few issues: * the logs kind of blend in with the road * the jumping feels sluggish * waiting for the character to get back up after hitting an object is slow and frustrating * the dating game dialogue choices and voice lines are banal

Also, the game gets boring once you realize the strategy of just running away from the stone for a long time and then going on dates after you've gotten enough distance.

jk5000 2018-04-24 17:49

@vasco-freitas I agree with you the game is too easy, but you can't run away from stone forever. I also agree that the dating mini game could have been more interesting, but I chose to focus more on the voice acting.

polegar 2018-04-24 21:57

Haha the voice made me laugh so hard and it fit the theme nicely !

matt-pattabhi 2018-04-24 22:41

LOL WTF!

incobalt 2018-04-25 00:07

Somehow the game felt both sluggish and too fast, so I don't know what to say about it. I think this could do with a lot more content, but it does work.

zgragselus 2018-04-25 01:34

I found this as one of the more funny entries. It is nice proof-of-concept for the theme and it fits it nicely. While a lot of people here complains about the mechanics of the game - the selected theme pretty much asks for such games.

The jump timing is a bit off, and character does wake up slowly. But it still is quite playable.

Keep up the good work!

honey 2018-04-25 14:42

Really great idea and great concept! :) However, I noticed the same issues as guys above - jumping is unresponsive, the obstacles are kind of blended into the road and the waking up after hitting anything is wayyyy toooo sllloooooooowwwww. On the other hand your voice acting is funny as hell, so if that was your focal point, I can get why :)

travis-spuller 2018-04-25 14:45

**Good**

Love the voice over 10/10. Quit your job to do this full time

Really clever mash up

**Improvements**

Being able to jump off the road needs to be patched

Could improve graphics, but good for the time allotted

It's difficult to see the log in the road. Needs color contrast

Falling down was very slow, and if you hit a rock, you go inside. Fix the mesh collider or have him fall before the rock.

jk5000 2018-04-25 16:59

@travis-spuller thank you for the feedback. I have now fixed some of the issues: - You can no longer jump of the road. - The logs i much brighter now. - You jump a lot higher now. - When you fall you get up again much faster. - You can no longer jump through the rocks.

I don't think any of this fixes really changes the game, but I hope it makes the game a bit less frustrating to play.

And question for you @travis-spuller : How do I quit a job when I am already unemployed?

travis-spuller 2018-04-25 17:48

@jk5000 Easy! Just get a job, and quit. I'll hire you :)

mbrezu 2018-04-26 10:08

Fun game! Loved the voice acting :-)

iaaac 2018-04-26 19:19

Had a good laugh with this one. Amazing how you made this all by yourself. One thing i could say could use improvement would be to have more special effects when you hit stuffs. The jumping is also a bit floaty. The hitting the rock animation felt really weak as well. Otherwise great job making something this big in such a short amount of time.

zuhairghias 2018-04-27 02:45

Nice job with the models and animation. Voice acting was awesome too, is that you? Probably the craziest mashup I've seen so far.

jk5000 2018-04-27 06:04

@zuhairghias thank you for the feedback. Yes it is me voice acting.

nizlow 2018-04-28 10:41

Score 274

At the beginning I thought it was a bit cringy but when the sound effects came in and they were also your voice I found it funny. The compliments were quite funny and I had to laugh at some haha. "Your eyes are so blue and I like you too" or something like that :D Besides your humour and audio, I also enjoyed the graphics. They were simple but you could cleary differentiate between everything. Only grip I have with the game is, that the stone is getting faster and faster without you being able to do anything. Maybe if your date-score goes up you also move faster? That would make it harder to dodge obstacles and you would not die after a specified amount of time to the stone because it gets to fast.

Anyways great entry, keep it up :)

juzley 2018-04-28 11:05

Original take on the theme, I enjoyed it! Occasionally I seemed to pass through the tables. Also, I tried some of these lines on my wife - it didn't go that well.

jk5000 2018-04-28 12:00

@juzley you must have used those lines wrong. The lines are perfect!!! Okay, there is perhaps one or two of them that not always works perfectly, but they are still pretty good. And perhaps it is a bit more then not one or two lines. that do not work perfectly. Okay, perhaps none of them are perfect, but they are still better then nothing. Actually I believe saying nothing is working better. Is those lines the reason why I have no girlfriend?

Thank you for the feedback.

floc 2018-04-29 15:06

That's a fun game to play! The voice over is really funny. Congrats! :)

alleskapaul 2018-04-29 16:25

Really nice entry! I played it for quite some time. I didn't like the fact that after a while the bolder goes faster then you are going. It is good that you make it harder after a while so that it doesn't bore but I would have preferred harder obstacles or harder punishments instead of this. Overall I gave it quite some stars in each category, you did pretty well in each of them to my opinion.

jk5000 2018-04-29 17:09

@AllesKapaul : Thank you for the feedback and I am happy you liked the game. I agree that the accelerating rolling stone, not was the best solution, but I decided that I would like the game to have a ending, and within the limited time, this was the best solution I could make.

mic-matrix91 2018-04-29 21:46

Nice concept! The hero is very funny when speaks, a real latin lover! 😂

paul-avallone 2018-05-01 16:27

Really neat idea. The distance between dates is kind of long. Running into things animation is kind of jarring when you just spawn them in front. The voice acting was funny. Good job.

schizoid2k 2018-05-02 12:59

Fun and funny! Graphics and audio were very nice.

jojocanard 2018-05-04 22:24

Very impressive for a compo game.

Voice acting is funny and well done. Runner gameplay is fine.

The mix with the dating is ok but not very interesting gameplaywise. It is funny to listen to the dialogue lines but there is not much choice to be made (or I didn't understand the lines effect ?).

After my second date (or 3rd) the boulder was going so fast that I couldn't start a new date anymore (or I would have to run for a lot of time I guess). A bit frustrating.

darkwing00duck 2018-05-06 07:14

:heart: :heart: :heart: What I liked :thumbsup::

* Stunning Humor * Hilarious voice, funny comments, nice to listen * Good tutorial *

What can add :new: : * Skip the button in the tutorial * Maybe replace a stone with the running crowd of competitors men

I would be very glad if [you rating my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand-1) too:mag:

dovakla 2018-05-06 18:13

The theme combination is pretty good, but the gameplay is too simple to really be engaging. It has a lot of waiting, which is weird for an endless runner. I think it would help a lot of the two sections were more related, like if the table would also move downwards while you were on a date so you wouldn't just have to build up a lot of distance before dating is possible. I wish dating also went beyond just clicking one of three options as quickly as possible and waiting for the dialogue to finish.

jk5000 2018-05-06 18:40

@Dovakla in the endless runner part you have to collect gifts, love pillows and flowers. The collected things can be used in the dates, and when you have some of those things, you also get more dialog options. Giving gifts, love pillows or flowers to the woman, makes it faster to score her.

dovakla 2018-05-07 15:05

@jk5000 I understand that but it still doesn't really change how the dates work and I don't think items are frequent enough to make them feel important to the overall game. That's really just a balance issue though, so it's not too bad.

nvrskipgameday 2018-05-08 02:56

Brilliant. Easy to play - a ton of effort went into this for the compo! Really nicely done, and I totally mastered my date.

ratherjolly 2018-05-09 06:05

Excellent! haha Oh man. That was amazing. I love the feel of this game. The use of audio narrative was awesome! Seriously love the direction of this game and would play again. Very polished, hilarious and super fun! Great Job!

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-12 23:29

Very fun and tense. Congratulations for the game.

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

great game, I had a lot of fun playing :)

jk5000 2018-05-16 07:22

Thank you for all your feedback and ratings, if I had money enough I would have send you all a Love Pillow. I am really happy with the result. I hope to see you again in another LD.

Well, I never played this game but I visited here because I thought that this topic is about the dating. I come here and find another thing.But, I would like to tell you that if you are looking for an online dating website then I will suggest https://womenandtravel.net/colombian-women/ website to you. You will be happy after using this.

2021-08-22 12:13

Good day everyone! I have great news for those who have been looking for a decent dating service for a long time! I found the site https://www.cupid.com/ from reviews on the Internet, it has a very excellent rating and it seems to me that each of us will definitely be able to meet there! Let's try together!

2022-03-12 20:44

Tell me, have you ever met girls online? On what site did you look for such girls?

2022-03-12 23:53

I do not betray my girlfriend in real life. I have my own opinion about virtual life. What no one knows and there is no need to talk about betrayal. For online relationships that do not lead to consequences, I use the site https://hookup-insider.com/reviews/adultfriendfinder This is a very good way to have fun with girls from around the world. I'm mostly interested in one-night stands, but sometimes I like to watch live broadcasts of very seductive girls. In general, thanks to the Internet, I have a multifaceted relationship, and everything suits me.

jk5000 2022-03-13 12:01

[buying a wife](https://newbrides.net/guide/mail-order-brides-pricing/) from a website is one way to get a woman, but beware: this method drains the trust of the marriage. This is especially true if the man does not treat the woman as a member of his family. If you are serious about finding a wife through this method, then it is essential to discuss your options with your partner. Listed below are some tips on how to buy a wife online.

What is a [mail order bride](http://bridesclub.org/) ? A mail order bride is a single woman who is seeking a marriage abroad with a specific intention. They do not want a hookup, a traditional marriage, or a relationship that may last for a short time. These women are looking for a long-term international commitment and may have children of their own. The sites that connect men and women have filters to narrow down the search.

flokkygrood 2022-07-30 12:43

I don't believe in speed dating, in fact, how can you get to know a person and find out everything that interests you in just a few minutes. That is why I advocate serious acquaintances and a detailed study of each of us and your interests. That is why. when I'm looking for a place to meet online I prefer review sites like this one https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/victoriyaclub-best-place-to-find-a-girlfriend-for-summer-trip/ they not only recommend a place where you can meet girls, but also offer great alternatives where you can meet girls if you are looking for a travel partner.

Good evening. You know, when I was a teenager, I was very jealous of a guy, and all because he stopped paying attention to me over time. But now I know that the loss of interest does not always depend on him, because he does not live only with me, he has other things besides me. I got this knowledge after reading the article https://entrepreneursbreak.com/signs-he-is-losing-interest-can-you-revive-relationship.html which explains it. And there is also a description of how to save the relationship if the loss of interest seriously threatens your happiness as a couple. Therefore, I advise everyone to get acquainted, it will be quite interesting to learn the features of a long-term relationship.
