The concept is funny ahaha, I tried to go further but I had a game freezing bug. (screen attached) Pretty nice work with the text and lore. Nice entry! asd.png
Success! Got my cute mech
haaaaard af. good fun, though, and great blend of disparate genres.
"I identify as a socialist" hahaha
Nice to see others with a similar concept (using dating sim as distraction to action game). This was overall a well made game, although the question from the bot completely freezing your character wasn't the best possible solution.
Good graphics and animations. I coudn't really read the text displayed and play at the same time, so I just pressed a random button on the popups.
@Memel06 thank you! that's weird... i'll look into it!
Nice humor! Made the whole game really enjoyable. The only thing frustrating was really the character freezing while the question came up. It was impossible to read the questions and the answer choices fast enough to survive, even though I read the monologue the whole time. :P Anyway, solid entry, lots of fun!
Good game! The music is awesome, though I was mostly distracted by the reading lol My only complaint is bugs attacking me at the dialogue choice
This was *hard*, but it's a neat concept. What do you do if you don't like your mech tho?
@zarkonnen thanks! uhh, was your's a capitalist who is into comedies?
I think this is amazing in the time span you had, i saw some of the screenshots passing by in the discord and was excited to play! it didnt dissappoint me!
Cool game, really liking the concept!
It's a minor point, but I do think having some sort of sound effect or graphical effect for when you get hit or when enemies get hit would make the presentation a lot clearer.
Regardless, congrats on a first LD game well done!
I really like this combo! Since the shooting is kind of mindless, it works with the monologue. I agree with @Potondo that sounds when you or an enemy is hit/killed would make things clearer, since I wasn't really looking at the battlefield except with my peripheral vision.
Simple art but its a fun game. My cousins love to play it. Good Job
HARD! I think you achieved what you set out to achieve. My only design complaint is that bugs can spawn right on top of the player, which, given all the other stuff going on, tips things from "hilariously hard" to "kind of unfair."
Also, I clicked outside of the game by accident and couldn't figure out how to get it to unpause after that.
Silly idea. Good writing. Good music. HEY LISTEN
So many dating games - I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Great job - I liked @Aaron Nemoyten word of "hilariously hard" exact same thoughts.
Great music, nice animations, and fun take on the theme! Really well done.
I would have liked a little more feedback when taking damage, and had some slightly-easier-to-read font color choice, but other than that it played really well!
Haha, that was fun. Took a few tries but I got to the end at last. Nice use of the theme! Difficulty ramps up pretty fast but it makes sense since the story is pretty short. Maybe a longer story would just be tedious to replay. As some have mentioned there are some feedback issues and the hitbox feels bigger than you expect. Anyway, nice entry!
I just discovered that i'm really bad at multitasking. Always wanted to date a socialist robot who likes comedies and human hearts. Anyway, smooth and challenging gameplay with pretty art and an actually good music that doesn't become annoying after a minute like most, well done.
Very funny concept. I had a lot of fun trying to read what he was saying while also not dying, and the music was good too. Three quality-of-life complaints: 1) It would be nice if I didn't have to reload the page to play again, as that restarts the music. 2) It would also be nice if there was a way to regain health, as otherwise I just keep dying after 1-2 questions and can't get any further. And that leads right to 3) It felt a little unfair that the aliens kept attacking even when he was asking me a question, I always lost a lot of health to that. Still, nice game!
Not working of Firefox for me, but I was able to beat the game on Chrome. Nice one!
Made it to the end too, after the final question I turned invincible, at least I'm sitting at -7 health right now. But I also formed an invincible bond with combat unit 00!
I thought it was fun (only thing I'd note is that the hit detection felt a little off), the humor was on point, and mixing shooting space bugs with ro(bo)mancing was a concept I really enjoyed. Great music too. Really cool!
Funny game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIle2FLl2RM
Funny 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.

Unfortunately, every time I hear the word "relationship" I have a lot of stress because I have never in my life been lucky enough to meet the right person to have a successful relationship.
