Cool Monkey Island kind of duels! The game is well polished and feels complete. Maybe it could have some small added depth with the 2 first fight options (before final challenge), but it's already fine as it is. Good job!

I didn't have romance simulator on the pad this morning, but here we are. Great work, made me laugh.

This game reminds me of Thirsty Sword Lesbians. The written dialogue is charming and I like how you can collect gold, the crown and territories (I also like the extra touches of giving the lands unique names). For a more expanded version, having each of the opponents have different dialogue (or different choices make them fluster) and having a way to exchange between the three currencies would be nice.

Haha, what a fun idea! Aiza gave me a hard time my first try, I seemed to always get her answers wrong, but after a couple more duels and practicing the art of flirt fencing, I got some gold, land and all the crown jewels (after my revenge grudge match with Aiza). Awesome! I like the character designs, I think they're cute! The idea of fencing via flirting is also hilarious as I had already mentioned, I thought the back-and-forths were funny. Super funny take on the theme, great job on this game!

I liked the pretty character designs, and the flirting fencing, however they did get repetitive (since all characters seem to have identical combat) after the second fight, and I fought for land the first time before going for the jewels, and it seems the land and gold don't matter so I'm not sure they should be included.

Very interesting idea. At first I wasn't sure which fluster meter I had to push but then is made sense that there was always one fitting answer. I just wish each character had its own lines, but overall good job for a jam!

Happy International Lesbian Day 🧡🤍🩷 I love this concept!

Fun game though little too repetitive once you get it. Got my ass beaten in the first fight but then I mastered the flirt and 100-0 swooned until i got all the jewels. As other have said more unique fights would have been fun. Also somebackground music/ambience. I like the art, nice compo!

Great game overall. I loved the artwork and the premise was adorable. As others have mentioned, it was a little repetitive once you got the responses, but it was still fun to go through the duels. I didn't really understand what the purpose of doing the gold or land battles was, so maybe I missed something. The duel mechanic reminded me a little of The Curse of Monkey Island. Nice work.

A fun game, but it could have used a few unique lines of dialog for each character, just to mix it up a bit.

Really enjoyed this quirky take on fencing! The flirting mechanic is genius and had me laughing. Love the cute character designs too! Great job on making something so fun and charming!

Interesting game, but it gets too easy once you figure out all the answers. A more substantial number of different prompts and responses would make it more interesting, especially if the opponents wouldn't use exactly the same ones.

Cool game! it's fun to play, I like this work

tanis 2025-10-19 13:38

Nice one! It becomse easy after you learn all the answers, though. It could have used some more variety to make it less obvious. Grats!

Fun concept and the writing is great. The game gets a bit repetitive once you figure out all correct choices and it will be better if there are speicial dialogues for each character. Great job!

I love the concept caught me off guard! Having a background track would make it more engaging!

dengyixa 2025-10-21 06:50

It is so interesting!!! I love this concept.

Pretty funny game, love the concept, but it gets pretty easy pretty fast... You, at some point, just know what to say... Still a really funny concept!

Big fan of the Monkey Island style of combat. I think it would have been better if each of the chieftesses had different dialogue, would make it have a bit more character. Or maybe just more options, it got a bit repetitive after just a few fights. I love the Paradox Games style of gameplay with the map and waging land though, that was an interesting addition. Didn't find out what the gold is used for... The concept is also really cute. Good job!
