It was funny and also fun! Enjoyed the players reactions.

cary-stanley 2021-04-26 02:33

Really fun and funny game!

I like the mix of punch-out and a dating sim, two genres that you would think to be incompatible. But when you think about it punch-out is really, the a "dating sim" sped up, where a "well-timed" correct response does damage to the opponent (gets you points).

The graphics are great, they look like the original Punch-out game (How did you draft all those poses in the time you did?)

Not sure if there are multiple endings, but I think we are going to the movies together tomorrow. :smile: Did I win?

An unexpected, but effective combination! The punch-out mechanics are faithful, and the visual novel segments make for a funny backstory.

minibobbo 2021-04-26 16:39

I'm not sure what I just played...

I really liked the boxing segments although repeatedly spamming attacks seemed to work well. The change between the visual novel and the boxing matches made me chuckle.

An unlikely combo.

Visual Novel Segment's were entertaining. For the boxing segments though, spamming a low punch would basically guarantee a win.

brian-mayberry 2021-04-27 02:15

I can't believe this combination of themes works so well! Thankfully all those years of Punch-Out as a kid paid off, won the bonus fight too! Very well done, congrats on a great game!

The boxing game part was more fun than the dating part. I don't know the exact algorithm, but the AI of boxing was fun.

james-7777 2021-04-27 17:26

This was my favourite game so far, I loved it!! It was really satisfying to win the bonus match, and once I got the hang of it the punching and dodging felt quite fluid. I enjoyed the art direction too, great work!

chad-mongo 2021-04-27 22:23

Really enjoyed it. The art was goofy, but in a charming way. And I liked the sound effects they were fun. The boxing was responsive, maybe a little easy, but I had fun so it doesn't really matter. Overall really cool game.

pierce-brooks 2021-04-28 04:06

Very cute, well-written, and finely tuned for a difficult challenge!

jaybaus 2021-04-28 12:44

I enjoyed it, the difficulty in the fights felt like it ramped up fairly and was a rewarding victory, and mixing it with a dating sim was a unique spin on the genre. Nice job :)

fabz 2021-04-28 15:39

This is a great mix, quirky and fun to play - it's a knockout!

sode 2021-04-28 15:49

Damn this was the best one yet

nykolar 2021-04-28 15:58

Very strange but ultimately pretty enjoyable. I really like this entry, nice work! The boxing segments felt quite good to play

ahspike 2021-04-29 16:24

Very good animations. It really felt like a level in Punchout. Good job.

goutye 2021-04-29 16:45

Really felt like playing Punchout again! The last fight was very challenging but with enough patience and TECHNIQUE, you can win! :smile: Congratulations on the game! :v: Now I have a date to go on

gaminghamster 2021-04-29 16:50

Amazing concept! :D The boxing worked surprisingly well, although there were a few attacks that seemed to always hit no matter when I dodged. That you managed to include different hit zones, dodges and counters is heckin' amazing, especially when it was all so well telegraphed. This is great! ^_^

crazymouse 2021-05-01 14:52

I love the idea! fights get quite hard but it's fun.

prodigalson 2021-05-01 23:11

lol. Question! Does this really work? Just wondering if that is how you met your special someone or plan to. :P lol It's so silly and yet it works so well and the hand drawn-like graphics sells it even more. Also, this the long lost dating sim that Nintendo tried to put on arcades but had to settle for the boxing matches only due to budget constraints? :D

blockerz 2021-05-02 16:20

Fun idea! I enjoyed the concept and thought it was well implemented. At first I thought the boxing was too easy but it did ramp up a little. I think it is a good balance for a game jam game and wanting to get most people through the story. Nice job making a game in a weekend.

skvader-418 2021-05-02 20:19

the game was very fun, and i loved the art, the audio in the fighting added to the humor

tero-pulkkinen 2021-05-02 23:01

pretty hilarious game.

leapyearboy 2021-05-03 09:19

Quite the unique combo. Audio was a bit crackly for me (may just be me, didn't see any other comments to this). Got wrecked in the bonus round.

deseteral 2021-05-03 09:25

Pretty interesting and creative mix. The last fight was really hard for me, but I kept playing just to see what's at the end. Great game :)

zettabit 2021-05-04 01:38

Good thing I watched enough Summoning Salt videos to be able to take Wendy out. Overall this was a very fun game. Sometimes the fighting felt a bit rough where every blocked attack would have her retaliate. It can be a bit hard to tell when to stop punching so you don't get pummeled. Also if you just spam the dodge key your character will visually slide out of position. Never thought I'd play dating sim punch out, but I enjoyed it. Even beat the bonus round.

fueelin 2021-05-05 21:51

Great idea, and well executed! The first fight was super easy but by the end it was definitely challenging! Wendy is a cool character for sure! Did notice a couple positioning-based glitches in the boxing, but they didn't really affect anything. Great job!

yword 2021-05-08 18:24

I just finished this game! Very humorous arts and dialogs, nice gameplay, and the overall mood is quite happy too!

vasco-freitas 2021-05-10 19:01

I'm a fan of Punch-Out games, so this was a real treat. I like how you replicated a lot of the Punch-Out gameplay, such as how you can tell she's about to punch, getting stunned, etc. Sometimes it didn't feel exactly right, maybe due to an occasional lack of feedback when I missed a punch. But it was still pretty close. The story was funny and engaging. Well done!

prof-suarez 2021-05-11 18:25

Awesome spin on the theme, great execution, and super fun! lol great job!

nick-rafalski 2021-05-14 01:49

This is great! I don't know how you managed to program basically 2 games in one. I enjoyed the retro aesthetic and the story. Nice job!

liam 2021-05-15 11:07

Man that final fight was tough for me!

kaytrill 2021-05-16 21:41

Weirdest take on the jam so far, but all in all an enjoyable game. I do wish the tale signs of her would be a bit more clear though. Give it a bit more polish and this would be a most excellent game.

zanderpm 2021-05-17 01:38

Kind of a weird premise, but somehow you got me to buy into it! This is super impressive, especially for a Compo. It's hard to even find anything wrong with it.

2021-07-06 07:56

Dating websites were always a wonderful way to relax for me. I hope that I can meet interesting guys online. It is really funny, interesting and I am currently using https://www.bdsmdatingsites.co.uk/ which is a wonderful opportunity for me. This is a great and interesting solution if you just want to relax and hope to find your decent love. After I broke up with my gf, I hope that this new relations will be pure and good!

Visit our website [jetbride.com](https://jetbride.com/swedish-brides/) Here you can buy a wife for great dates, many ages, different nationalities for any men! Religion is the principle purpose that Indonesian Muslim ladies seldom commit to long-term relationships with foreign men… And they're 87% of the entire inhabitants. They are female, obedient, caring, and know-how to please a man. The only draw back is just fewer Laos women can communicate in English. Also, their level of training is low, so don’t count on philosophical conversations.

Good evening. Guys, I need your opinion. Lately I've been very nervous before a date. Nerves just do not allow to think normally. And you can guess how such dates end. I can't think of anything to change the situation for the better. I hope that someone else had the same situation and you can share your experience. What helped you to cope with the fear and excitement before a date with a girl?

flokky23fg 2022-10-23 16:49

Hi. It is best to ask a girl out when she is in a good mood. Go up to her, say hello, ask how she is doing, and when she answers, ask her out. This is in my opinion the ideal option. Because it is simple and does not require any complicated preparation. But if this advice is not suitable for you, then there are other options. I advise you to read about them in this article https://finddate.org/confirm-date/ which perfectly describes all possible instructions and tips to successfully ask a girl out.
