Great job! I was chuckling the entire game. You all have a great sense of humor and it showed in this game!

It's always cool to see games with voice acting! This was pretty funny!

glaupe-cabral 2025-04-08 04:33

I thought the art was really good, damn, how did you have time? I thought the mechanics were interesting, but the character goes downhill really fast, lol, there's not even time to read what's written properly to be able to choose a little better! But congrats!

The voice acting is FIRE. The time-based dialogue selection really simulates how we talk in real time and have to choose our words on the fly. I've been laughing this whole time. Great job!

Very creative, I have made a lot of words that can't share right now LoL, but this game is awesome, voice actor also works well with this. Good work!

Woah. The picture at the end will stay with me for a long time. Cool game! I found the gameplay bits a little bit tedious but the story was funny enough to keep me going! Good entry!

cool concept! nice voice acting lol. i liked making my own lines when it didnt tell me what to pick through colors!

So funny. I end up becoming parasite and well it's so much real for some people on earth, and as we see now -- deep down the ocean. I love humour and style of that game, and story is just perfect)

I wasn't ready for this - Amazing 5 stars all around

The voice acting is great! I loved it. The mechanic is good. You don't need to read the words, just make sure you are choosing by color. Then find out what you said afterwards, lol. The only gripe I have is that the dialogue is often covered by the continue "button" in the dialogue box. Other than that It played perfectly. Good game! See you in October?

Very funny game, thank you!

I truly found love in the most deep of places, didn't I? Great visuals, funny voice action, compelling gameplay. Loved it!

I didn't expect this game to be as customized and filled with dialogue, let alone laden with voice overs to boot! Very entertaining, the only thing I felt was missing were more visual effects when grabbing the a word. Additionally, I didn't hit any of the red phrases on my play through, so the game didn't come across as very challenging. I went in a second time to pick up as many red phrases as I could and found I could indeed lose the game. Great job!

nsadie 2025-04-08 19:37

Good job, having full voice acting is great! Hope you had fun making it. Delightfully weird!

chloew 2025-04-09 03:06

That was an experience XD Enjoyed it a lot. Very fun and a great take on the theme- very impressed by the complete voice acting.

laine-lai 2025-04-09 05:31

Very good game! I really like your character models, they are very alternative and cute!

dxk2294 2025-04-09 06:56

I would die for Gordo.

Amazing voice acting, fantastic job folks! 10/10

cherrybcake 2025-04-11 13:29

Haha that made me laugh a lot, very nice work! The main character is so awkward XD

dasmaichen 2025-04-11 14:52

I like the mechanics to create an own answer. The graphic is also nice (my favorite was the eel :D). And the awesome voice acting - I love it!

muriel 2025-04-13 10:34

Cool entry, wasn't expecting that at all xD also I learned the word "clasper" so thanks for this funny entry and the wisdom xD

jajo 2025-04-13 13:43

I think the actual moving-around segments could have done with some work, it felt a bit too difficult to control. However, the sheer silliness of the game more than makes up for it

agraffs 2025-04-14 09:38

I was... not expecting that. No idea of what I can even comment... Just... GG ! XD XD

hypersomnia 2025-04-18 19:52

So funny ahahahah!I can imagine matching the sentences with the dialogues would take a lot of time. Good work!

papaver 2025-04-18 23:32

Wow, so much voice acting content! Lovely voices. Creative way to string the words together in this way, although it was not really challenging to swim in the right lane.

It was a pity that often the text I collected didn't fit in the dialogue box.

The funniest game I played so far this LD! :smile: Well done!

I haven't played a lot of games this jam where the humor has appealed to me, but this one I found quite funny. Love the premise. The gameplay adds to the absurdity of what's going on and can yield some very unique sentences. My favorite that I got was "I reach for the depths here in darkness can I express my truth, Those normies there in the reefs wouldn't understand me like you do." because it's slam poetry and if I had just remembered to packet my sperm before talking to the damn squid she would have fallen head over high heels for my little incel protag and I could have totally gotten poor Gordo the underwater pussy he deserves. I liked this one a lot

The voice acting is extremely good! Artwork was really cool, I liked all the characters.

Gameplay was the weakest part, it's fine for what is essentially a visual novel, but just a bit repetitive and easy.

Music was also nice.
