A fun use of the theme. The graphics were great and the ending was really cute. :)

Cute graphics. Really love the Character!

@autumnotopia I'm trying to figure out the controls. What exactly am I meant to do?

autumnotopia 2018-04-25 09:23

@Lars DK: Ah, did you check the 'Help' button? I noticed someone else that didn't seem to see it either, I probably should make it more visible haha. It's 'D' to Duck.

Nice art work, you could display the commands by default when starting the game to facilitate the onboarding of new players. Congratz for your entry :thumbsup:

@nidup Haha yeah, I considered it but I wanted the first encounter to be kind of a surprise (subverting normal visual novel style stuff where it's just entirely advancing the text with no other user commands). I feel like if the player is warned it loses a little bit of impact. It's a difficult balancing act though, thank you for your feedback!

The cutest thing I've ever played. Well, honestly, I didn't play many cute things before, I guess the number is less than 5, but this one is definitely the cutest. =)

After I figured out you could duck, I ended up just repeatedly ducking the whole game. Made the final scene less romantic though--I dodged her affection. A tiny quality improvement would be to have the words that are longer than the end of the textbox to never start typing on that line, but then next instead.

Senpai noticed me ^o^

Such a cute game!!!! I loved the art and mechanics. Good game.

Super cute! Not sure the point of having a jump command, but a cool idea to have it be more interactive than just a story. The art work is really good and the ending is super cute. Well done.

Overall solid title, Your art made this one really shine. It just bleeds cuteness throughout!

Her talking about being sleepy while I made her duck and jump all around was funny. Doing a jump duck will sometimes make her constantly move up before snapping back down for the rest of the scene. Being able to dodge the heart at the end was a nice touch.

This was super cute! This game definitely won me over with its charm. Its a minor thing, but I dug that you can dodge/jump at any time. It made the whole VN aspect of the game feel more dynamic. Great entry!

rjhelms 2018-04-29 17:28

Great visual style. The choice of font really just pushes the whole thing over the edge - great attention to detail. I just wish there was more!

randomhuman 2018-05-02 18:32

Interesting idea. I guess the jump was for the final scene? However, by that point I had been trained to duck, so that is what I did, and it didn't seem to matter. Nice little story, great art and dialogue.

samuelsousa 2018-05-03 08:24

Very simple, yet fun! Nice dialogue and pickup lines. Lovely art. Great entry!

mosesg 2018-05-03 19:53

I love this idea and the writing was nice, pretty funny. But some of the things you have to dodge come too surprisingly. Still liked it though!

lol, I did not notice the help button at first, I did not expect to find the controls there, but found out through a video someone posted.

The cheesy pick up lines were a bit funny and the graphics so cute. The gameplay was kinda unexpected but decent. It would have been nice if there was more to it, but that is just me wanting more out of this game cause I liked it. The name is quite fitting for the gameplay. I have definitely never seen an Dating Sim/VN with such a type of interactive feature, quite unique.

@Lyrcaxis Senpai noticed us!!(≧∇≦)/ !High Five!

The ducked sprite is really cute :D Makes me wanna duck all throughout the game. I didn't quite get what's the jump button for. I think the controls could've been shown in the retry screen so it's easier to pick up.
