Love the town and interesting concept! Would be a bit more interesting if the first two people were the same color so I could start interacting a bit more with not letting them overlap but had alot of fun still :D

Cool concept! Interesting how quickly the feeling comes on of being overwhelmed by the number of people and their needs.

Wow! What a stressful game! Good thing I'm only playing a game and not not doing this in real life ;) Anyways...this was a fun concept and executed very well! I especially loved the sound design. It all felt very fitting and polished. Good game!

Some tutorialization could help, at first I though I was the character moving around and it also took me a bit to realize I could scroll/zoom the map.

I like the idea of directing folks about the map, but maybe start with a small level and start unblocking things as time goes on?

I liked this game. Simple earthbound vibes. I liked the theme of text msg in the beginning, could be something to add into the UI or for the player. the text is a bit hard to read scrolled out.

What a neat concept! I like that the map is really too large to look at everything at once, so you have to have a pretty good idea where people are going rather than watching the entire world. The decision to gradually introduce the map is a good one too - the game quickly becomes overwhelming so it's good to give the player some time to get a feel for the game.

I think my only gripe is with the coloured icons for the various partners. I had read the directions to not let two partners of the same colour meet, but had assumed that meant their overall colour scheme - like what colour shirt they were wearing. It did quickly become apparent, but I felt it had potential for confusion.

great entry. art was hillarious

hcs-hades 2022-04-08 22:37

Felt a little slow to begin with but quickly escalated!

Lots of art went into the map good work!

Didn't realize they had health bars till it was too late haha

Not to brag, but it is pretty realistic 😏😂

In all honesty - amazing concept! It is that type of creativity I love about Ludum Dare submissions. I hope you can expand that concept, let me play as a real Tinder Swindler!

The UI was a bit wonky in Firefox. Maybe this could work better if you could drag/turn the arrows in the right direction instead of clicking/tapping multiple times. This was certainly a unique take on the theme, more fun and less dark than many others.

Well, is it racist or a manifest to cheating/not? No, it's just a game. Hard time playing with the music, at least for long, for the pace of the game is not that fast. The overall idea is quite interesting and I loved the expanding world (level design). However, I'd like to play again, not cheat.

Nice game, very cute idea with the promiscuous life style :-)

I love the pixel art, really polished looks and the music to accompany it.

From reading the instructions I thought two people cannot go on the same square or to the same location at the same time but it seems I was wrong. Did you not have time to implement this?

I have to say I did not play too long, I like the idea and the controls. The game just does not keep me too long, but that is not even too important. I am very impressed by what you got done in this short time frame!

I love how you introduce the story, really nice presentation with the messages and the sounds, impressive! Also great that you keep the instructions short, the game is extremely easy to pick up, perfect for a game jam!

Great work, keep it up! :-)

I like puzzle games and this one is fantastic. Very challenging!.

The only problem I found is that sometimes you have to zoom out and it is very difficult to see the color of the partner although the place can be seen in the information below (I would add that information too).

Thanks for the game
