Fantastic! I love the take on the theme, this is a great puzzle experience! Your char movement and camera follow/work is slick too.. well polished and fluid.. awesome job all around!
Lol! I love the mechanic and the way you interpreted the team. Really nice.
This is a nice puzzle platformer, I guess the game fits the theme as well?
Very good puzzles!
I think some of the platforms could have been a little larger that you were jumping on, added a precision element to a puzzle game which just gets annoying. The artwork and audio was superb. The puzzles were also great. I thought the solution of the last puzzle was jumping out of the world, thought it was a trick, but I finally solved it. Overall good job.
Very nice puzzle platformer! I love the faces of the guys when you break up with them.
Haha this is great. Well done.
Congrats on another great game! Funny concept, pretty art and very original interpretation of the theme. I wish the game were longer, haha.
I really like the game, the theme interpretation and the humor :) Although the levels were too easy, at least they werent repetitive, so it was fun playing it.
Great interesting, original game. liking it a lot
The game is very funny and the puzzle platformer is pretty cool !
Such an interesting puzzle game :D I thought I had the last level figured out but I had to try it 2 times to get there :D Love the mechanics <3
Amazing Idea and solid concept of a platformer game, Good job!
Very good entry, especially for Compo. Nice audio, mood and graphics. I liked the levels and kept playing til the end. The only thing I didn't like that much was the delay between tame / breakup action and it's actuall effect. Many times I have pressed one of these keys (mainly breakup) started moving and the guy moved with me for split of a second leaving the switch which required me to tame him again, move him again and dump him again. But overall very good job!
Game mechanics are introduced very good! Innovative mechanics that matches your theme (though I don't see how it relates to the jam's theme). The last level is actually challenging, took me a few restart to figure it out, I love it!
Nice concept, my girlfriend actually suggested me to make a hooker game too haha. I like the mechanics and the graphics are nice too. Solid entry
Fantastic is all I have to say!! I was NATURALLY a great gold digger!! Thanks!! Just solid!!
Great puzzles, great mechanic, and great take on the theme. Really nice job!
I liked the mechanics and audio. The use of the theme made me a bit sad. The whole seducing/dumping men mechanic is very cynical, but I'm not sure the name "gold digger" fits well. Maybe "siren" or "man-eater". Good job, still.
@kuro yeah, it is a bit cynical, like the theme is. But hey, don't take it too seriously :) The game is trying not to be serious as well. I wasn't sure about the name actually - I didn't know whether it's correct term for those kind of women also in english.. so I looked it up in google, switched result to images and it looks like that this name is pretty accurate even in english :)
Anyway, I'm glad you liked at least the game itself :)
@jiri-hysek don't get me wrong, I liked it, it's smart. It's just a bit cruel :)
The sound of whistle and breakup are brilliant and just the way I would imagine. Love the approach to the theme, also nice puzzle. ;)
Haha that last level is a little tricky...
Nice interpretation of the theme :D The sounds are funny, the art is cute, good game :)
A very nice puzzle, nicely finished in every way. Well done as usual!
Really nice submission. The puzzle mechanics are very interesting. Overall very solid work :thumbsup:
Its a nice "puzzle" Game I liked the more or less new mechanic and the nice little sound snippets. For me the connection to the Theme was not 100% clear but that isn't really important
Good Job, well Done

@deathstorm Hey, thanks for playing my game on stream, I'm glad you like it
@ursagames Thank you for playing the game, watching someone playing it is always helpful. You have encountered a small glitch with the elevator I wasn't aware of (at the first level). Thanks and I'm glad you like it.
I like puzzle games and this was a good one :) Solid entry. Good job!
Really cool puzzle game with a funny take. it's crucial that the relationship break only affects the first man it touches so that you can position the men at the right distance.
Congrats on the entry!
Love it.. Hits the theme spot on. :/ Crisp controls, nice music.. Just perfect.
Great puzzles, just wish the art style and tone of the game wasn't so reminiscent of a porn ad.
@abbie lol, really?:D It didn't occur to me. I'm not an artist but for me it's just a cute cartoon character. Maybe because of the purple and red colors? :) Anyway I'm glad you like the puzzles, if you're into less colorful artstyle, check my previous Ludum Dare game - Soul Traveller - it's kind of similar like this one but a bit darker :)
Cool art and good puzzles! Lightning is also nice, how did you implement it?
@datagreed Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It was made in Godot engine and it has a component for 2D lighting, it's really easy to use. If you are interested I wrote about this a quick post after the last LD: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/soul-traveller/how-to-create-nice-lighting-effect-in-godot-engine

Hahaha, had to laugh when I saw "Lets go shopping" on the first screenshot, that got me into playing the game. And the game has surprisingly clever puzzles, I played it through a couple of scenes with increasingly harder difficulty, well balanced curve.
Spot on take on the theme, really like the character graphics and animations. The background is not super awesome but given the timeframe it is a very impressive piece of art you delivered here. I actually had to go back and check in the description that this really is a compo game.
You're a legend for making this in 48h!
@marc-grabow Thanks for nice words! I'm glad you like it! Yeah, background was one of the last things I had made, just to have something looking like silhouette of a city instead of black color :) If you like it, check also my last compo game Soul Traveller :)
Oh, great! This kind of puzzle really reminds me of the game Inside. Some of those puzzles were hard! I liked the game even though I don't see a connection to the LD theme in it. Good job!
You nailed the theme with this one.
As always, a signature Jiri Hysek game: Very enjoyable mechanics and great level design! https://youtu.be/lVCsQbSi-js
