I love the concept of this game. I tend to enjoy dating sims but clicker games tend to elude me. However, having enjoyed dating sims and the grinding that comes with it I found that the clicker aspect was actually enjoyable to grind through to get those attractiveness points. The art is lovely! I would love to see another RPG in this art style. The colours are very calm and not overly striking, the backgrounds tend to be detailed but not cluttered. Very well done. I find the same to be true of the sound effects, a nice clicking sound that isn't invasive is enough to enjoy ant not find repetitive. The concept evokes a level of absurdist humour which i tend to really enjoy, the dialogue definitely evokes some laughs and plays into the absurdness. In terms of criticism, my only criticisms are that I would really like to see some random events occur but I can understand due to the timescale of the jam that this may not have been possible. The only other thing I can think to point out is the placement of the menu button being to close to the dialogue buttons. I also think it'd be cool to see some personalised UI buttons! Overall I enjoyed it! Good job, dude!

That was so much fun! The balance of moving around between the different areas flowed really nicely. I didn't quite make it into eggplant relationship heaven but I had a bunch of fun :) The music was absolutely fantastic too :) Great work all round! :)

I had to stop when I realised I was working too hard to seduce a freakin' egg plant. Then I went away and rethought my life.

Good entry, good laugh! It's not always clear why something isnt doing something - for example the gym requires money but if you go there first it just seems like its broken because of no indication - but overall its pretty tight and good fun!

Lovely art in this, good ambiance and in true Krass style this game portrays some of life's normalities in their true sobering light. I managed to progress my relationship with Eggplanto, but unfortunately the date button seemed to be bugged and I could take it to the next level. Love the idea though, had quite a nice little game loop to progress through - and thats coming from me who despises clicker normally! <3
