WOW this is such a cool concept!!! This is by far the most unique concept I've seen in this jam so far! You all should be so proud!!!

Very unique idea for the gameplay, and really enjoyed the general vibe (with the cute art and the phone like interface). Great work!

Awesome minigame! Really unique take on the theme with the core mechanic and the artwork is reallty cute.

I'd love to see a tutorial level that eases you in the mechanic a bit before you play.

Nice submission! :D

that was really cute and harder than I expected!

Apparently I’m really bad at estimating message lengths šŸ˜…. Had my friend play it, and they managed it way better than me. Awesome game and a really unique idea!

It's a good idea and an unusual implementation.

This is awesome!

A nice and very unique concept indeed, good sound design and VERY polished graphics (bonus points for cuteness) - but I wish there was more to it! More gimmicks like the connected emotions thing would be great too. High notes regardless, great job!

Interesting concept and rather fun to play, took me a few times to get the good ending :sweat_smile: also pretty nice graphics / sfx

An interesting idea. I like the graphics and sounds. I've finally reached a good ending! It wasn't very easy to estimate the length of the message :D It would be nice if there were also adaptations for the computer screen. And, perhaps, a small tutorial is missing. Thanks for the gaming experience!

Unique Idea and cute theme! Admittedly I didn`t quite get that you could messages together, but once I got that it was quite fun to look for the right length. Really nice effort!

It's an interesting game, I was confused at first, but I quickly realized what and how, but the idea is cool, and overall the game is made pleasantly.

I've never seen a game that puts you in place of the AI. I would love to see a more elaborate version of this on the App/Google play store. Very creative approach to the theme!

thomas-bringer 2025-04-09 19:08

That was really fun! At first i thought i was supposed to reply emojis that made sense and then i realized it was about aligning bubbles, such a creative twist!

nekuake 2025-04-10 07:07

I really like the idea and the concept. It's easy to understand but really hard to master hahahaha Also, incredibly cute graphics. Good work q(≧▽≦q)!

Great game! I really liked how smoothly you introduce the rules — after just a couple of messages, you realize that you need to match them by length. The animation showing how much the lengths differ is a great idea; it instantly makes things clear.

The message texts are great too! I love that there are so many different emojis and weird symbols :)

scoobysnacks 2025-04-10 10:12

looks very cute, i like matching feedback, i failed a few times, but i guess i just suck at texting)

hinamarina 2025-04-11 10:28

I wasn't able to do it right not a single time ;-; even doing it for quite some time. That said, i really think the game idea is quite funny. I loved so much the overal vibe, the music is absolutely cozy, really great. The art really evoque quite a deep feeling for me. It felt so nostalgic and warm. Really powerful entry, I really loved even though i couldn't estimate the lenght of a single message ;-; I could be trying it all day.

Great game, thank you for the game!

ryrumeli 2025-04-12 03:15

I have to say, this game wasn't made for me, I always felt super weird sending those huge composite ascii art emojis!

But I have to say, no joke, this is one of the most creative ideas I have ever seen in a game. Working depth as forming connections is witty, going with AIs is an intriguing concept and very modern, and definitely this is a gameplay I don't remember ever seeing before. I honestly suggest taking this idea forward, definitely is an intriguing concept, one which I very much enjoyed.

caer 2025-04-12 17:55

I loooove the concept of forming deep connections--as a deep learning neural network, no less--as an interpretation of "depths"! The gameplay was really challenging in the beginning, but I slowly started to get a feel for which ASCII art would fill the response area.

One critique: When put in full-screen, the UI didn't properly fit my display. This lack of responsiveness meant I had to play in windowed mode and constantly scroll up/down to compare the user prompt with my response which...added a certain level of challenge to the experience.

hcs-hades 2025-04-13 03:12

('''')(**--**) - not sure what this means but the AI might.

Works really well - I found it really hard and never got any better at it haha :P

randomhuman 2025-04-16 13:58

Very interesting idea. I did very badly on my first try and smashed it on my second.

texugo 2025-04-25 18:10

This is incredibly creative! I took a long time to realize that I need to fit the length of the message, but once I did it became way better. It's quite hard to try and visualize the size of your message! Great art and twist on the theme!
