I tried your game's web version. Can't get past the gun shooting :smile:
There indeed was a reason hidden there lol.
Nice game. For the starting part I tought this was going to go weird direction. :laughing:
Good implementation of game mechanics.
Story at start went away automatically so fast I couldn't read all the words in it.
I think you can update the web version if you got some bugs in it. Add a changelog about what has been fixed.

@jukepoks1 yeah web version really wanst working out too much, I deleted it. I will be making some quality of life stuff later
The cutest opening scene ever! Well it's well designed and hard as hell. However, I think, that the very second bone sequence is a little bit too punishing for the very beginning and feels unfair in comparison with next ones, which are easier to learn and execute after a bit of training.

Very hard and then very easy once you learn it. Very fun apart from the QoL stuff :)

Pomoo, I thought you were trolling me with the first part, I was about to quit! but then the game started and I'm bad at it but great entry :P
Legally distinct :D sadly i'm so bad at it, but this game made me in tears for laughing lol
Thanks for letting me play this on stream, it was awesome!

Hey Pomo! Great to see another game of yours! Breaks my heart to see AI art in there but it made for an amusing intro haha. The boss battle is harrrd! I gave up at the gun part but I definitely had fun ;D

@whirlguy The AI art was truly just to make that silly joke, the proper Undertale part of the game we made all the art with a lot of love <3

Hey! I just made a new build with easy mode and some other good stuff like quick reset and skip light novel shortcuts!
Easy mode is enabled at the game over screen, shortcuts should be above on this page
I am also uploaded a Full Playthrough video to youtube, its in the page!
Thank you for playing!

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I enjoyed the surprise. And thank you for providing an easy mode for those of us more "platforming challenged". The writing is quite funny, and it made this game for me.
I have only one question... is all this going on in that closet :wink:?

I need to get to that one point. I'll let you know when I do. XD
Great game, super fun, Undertale minigame clone. Great work, I enjoyed it. I didn't find a pause button. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work once again! Didn't have enough time to get through the game on normal mode, but I did complete it on easy in order to see the ending. (worth it)
Great job :) Every little bit is entertaining, but the cherry on top for me is the music. Loved it.

Great entry! Only points I'd give feedback on: ctrl + r = restart checkpoint also (or different key) Skip your own dialogue at start instead of game skip for you
What are you on lmao
(Replayed it and I just noticed that sneaky first line....)
Wonderful! Totally did not expect the boss fight. I doubt I'll be able to win this game however, I'm still struggling with.... HIM. I was all, "Oh hey, a fun cute furry dating sim!" lol, super fun!
Finally, I've beaten the game (on easy mode, of course) :) Of all the final attacks, the final final one was really unexpected and I'm glad I avoided spoilers of it. I don't know if you already added this to the post-jam version, but can you save the unlocking of the endless mode? Because at least for me when I reopen the game it doesn't seem to remember it was unlocked.

@wendel-scardua there is a cheat on jam version to unlocky it, Left Control + L, also unlocks the main menu button on the naming screen. On post jam this button shows when you type your name automatically and everything is unlocked. Glad you liked it
Oops, somehow I forgot the description already says that 😅 (I didn't even need to scroll back to check, once I read your comment I instantly remembered it)
[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1944529420?t=00h41m32s) (I skipped to the point where we actually started playing it after numerous delays, lol)
I swear I will come back to this and beat it someday...Looking forward to the post-jam stuff it looked like you were working on!

a CLASSIC Pomo, in the sense that its a very difficult game to master :D It is a little bit of a shame as people may miss out on the content that you've made, but I did check out the video to see the stuff I didn't get to. The setting was funny, the visual novel turn undertale - guessing it was AI art for the visual novel stuff, but the in game art was actually done really well. It def felt like "oh this is undertale", which I think was the intent - but can be both a good and a bad thing. I think yours felt like a tribute rather than a copied idea, if that makes sense.

@honest-dan Thanks Dan! Appreciate it that you had the time to play it <3
Absolute banger of a game dude! Took me forever to get good at, as you know, but wow it was so well done! The gameplay was great, the jokes landed hard, it was addictive to play through, and it only cost me half of my remaining sanity to beat! In my opinion you managed to turn what would be an Undertale fangame into your own thing and evolved upon it really well, which is something I feel most people when they try to do miss the mark on. I so look forward to playing what else you make in the future!
I thought it would be a visual novel, but then the Undertale-like mechanics appeared. Nice job.
