Very interesting game. Pretty chaotic right out the gate. Loved the artwork!
I really liked this interpretation of the signal theme! The whole concept is fun and original, and the graphics and music fit it perfectly.
It felt a bit difficult because everything moves very quickly, and the hostess cards did not always feel fully responsive. When a client left before I could seat the hostess, I wanted to move that same card to another sofa right away, but it returned to the bottom of the screen and I had to pick it again.
Still, I had a lot of fun with it. Great entry! Sadly, I got fired as a manager 😄
Very unique game, it really captures that stressful gameplay feeling. One thing i was missing though, was a high score system, since it would have been nice to know whether my 16k$ was actually good or not. The music was also a bit too loud, a volume slider would be a great addition. Overall a solid game jam entry. Good job
This was really fun and frantic! I loved all the art, souch variety! Really great job 🙂
Really cool art, it's got a vibe all its own. The management sim stuff mixed with this theme makes the whole idea way more interesting. Took me a minute to figure things out at first, but once it clicked I was totally into it.
This is definitely an unexpected take on the theme, but very fitting! Very Ambitious project with soo many mechanics but I feel that it almost all comes together. I had trouble interpreting the signals and mostly just did it by trial and error, but I attribute this to my own ineptitude.
i loved this game !! i had a similar idea to this, where it was interpreting signals of people, and if that idea had come to fruition you have executed it perfectly. this reminds me so much of those childhood web games. the art style is absolutely beautiful and i'm in love.
a little bit confusing with the signals but that might just be a me thing and i might've just forgotten to read something but this was such a fun play overall! love love loved this
@nadia-pixel Haha, thank you for the suggestion! I didn’t consider moving the host to a different position when they’re on the sofa. I’ll add that feature when I have time later. @marumari Haha, thanks for your comment! I set it so you need 25k to reach the Night King ending, so it does take a bit of practice. I’ll also take your suggestion about the music and add that feature later. @2inkling @uroborei For the signal, I was hoping players would learn it as they play, but since the game’s pace is a bit fast, it might be a little hard to get it right. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll consider adding a tutorial level.
I think this art style is very mature, gameplay is also interesting
Competitive yaoi simulator. It's a neat concept but the game gets stale really fast and eeventually you earn enough money that you can steamroll the game.
夜店信号也是信号！喜欢美术老师的立绘（加入了大家都想看的xp）,交互的时候牛郎哥的信号提示有点点小，在手忙脚乱的当妈妈桑好容易忽略。以及夜店主理人能不能也加入卡池（bushi）！
I was laughing my way through the whole game! It’s such a distinctive and wonderfully “manly” piece of work. I think it would be even better if the buying/recruitment interface were split-screen, otherwise I have to keep clicking back every time, which interrupts the flow a bit when I’m trying to host customers.
哈哈哈哈哈看出来了 制作者xp集大成之作哈哈哈哈哈老板的红色高跟鞋很风骚（一条圣也是你吗
@phanes 哈哈哈啊哈哈哈哈哈好，之后让他加入 @hazel-c Thanks for your suggestion! You're right, there is a bit of a conflict there. I’ll work with our UI artist to improve it in future iterations. @shivvvy 不只有一条圣也o哈哈哈哈哈
Art and music are very nice. Great idea and cool game!
Had so much fun playing!! At the beginning had a bit of a trouble interpreting some signals, but got it eventually. Music and art are so lovely. Amazing entry!!
Neat usage of the theme! Pretty fun entry!
笑的好难受牛郎小游戏吗，，好幽默酒瓶转起来笑喷了。。
The concept is very interesting and provocative. I would have liked more responsive controls.
It’s quite difficult to quickly drag these cards around, especially while also trying to hit the buttons on time. It might work better if recalling a card happened by clicking directly on the card itself instead of using a separate “recall” button. From that level of strain, my wrist got tired.
最后还是被解雇了 QQ20260423-174930.png 美术挺有风格，音乐好听。 牛郎抽卡竟然还有点意思。 看起来制作组懂很懂，我甚至学会了牛郎店手势。
very fun, and stressful. The art is very nice, and the game feels quite polished
Such an interesting approach to the topic, and very fun! Sometimes stressful, but a lot of fun hahah Amazing job!
an interesting take on the theme! excellent visuals and soundtrack. the gameplay itself reminded me of old browser games—something like "Kiss the Boy Before You Get Caught," haha
it's not entirely clear how many points you need to score to win. i thought i was doing well, but in the end, i got fired x)
i haven't figured out how to restore stamina to my subordinates (if it's even possible to do that?)
great job!photo_2026-04-23_15-15-16.jpg
Hahaha! I like the theme, it's interesting!
@pipetto Thank you for your suggestions! Sure! I’ll work on improving this in future development.
@aniretti Hahahah Thank you for your suggestions! Actually, 25k is actually the score required to achieve the good ending. I’ll try to make that clearer in the tutorial. As for stamina recovery, hosts can regain stamina once they stop working, and answering the signals correctly can also restore stamina. I’ll make these mechanics more noticeable as well.

@rinnnzy 网页端的玩不了吗哈哈哈哈哈因为我们没有build windows的哈哈哈哈
I giggled so much during this game. I wanted to serve everyone so badly, but I felt sorry for the money to buy new recruiters... I guessed some of the signals without having a clue what they could mean :_) The style and music really added to the vibe!
The game was really fun to play. I loved the music and the overall vibe. The Idea with the bottle was really funny. I just didn't know how much money i should make? When do I not get replaced by Felix?
@matimay Thank you for your comment! Haha, I designed the signals so that players could gradually learn their meanings while playing. However, due to the game’s pace and according to the feedback I’ve received, it seems a bit difficult to pick up. I’ll try adding a tutorial level to help players better understand what the signals mean. @shlolo Hahaha, I’m sorry I set the requirement for the Night King ending a bit too high. You need to reach 25k to avoid being replaced by Felix /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
A good adaptation of the cabaret mini-game from Yakuza 0. Cute graphics, enjoyable gameplay and a cool character roll system! Love it
@xiao-duye 啊啊啊啊我努力一下 🪜不太稳定😭
:D very nice interpretation of the theme. Who would have thought, how stressful it can get to manage a nightclub =) Well done!
nice artstyle and interpretation. the gameplay was quite difficult and frustrating as the hostesses didn't refresh fast enough so the guests kept leaving
@eeva Thank you for your comment! At the beginning, I did set the guest arrival speed a bit too fast, which can feel a bit frustrating. But once you’ve recruited enough hosts, the gameplay becomes much smoother. You might want to try drawing a few more hosts to see if that improves the experience!
lol it's a very interesting game, the graphics is stylish and unique, which is very nice! Signals weren't that clear at first, but you'll understand them soon.
Really enjoyed this one! Great graphics loved the characters super good drawings :clap: fast pasted and was enjoyable with the music pushing you forward. Sometimes felt a little hard to keep up with everything, especially when drawing more cards. But overall loved it good job! :clap:
Not a theme I would expect here at all, definitely the graphics are amazing and a stand out for sure. Definitely the life in a nightclub isn't for the faint of heart! And all I can say is Dammit Felix, stop replacing me already!
Very nice mood, gameplay is fast paced. Feedback could be a bit more clear (difference between which hosts are active and which are not). I was not sure if I needed to swap out tired hosts, but also matching them with the active hosts is really difficult because the pacing is too fast for that. Would be nice if there was a 'signal' manual or something to learn the signals. I think the game would work better if the pacing was a bit more slow and the focus was more on the signals, but overall very nice entry!
loved the artstyle!
Really fun and unique interpretation of the theme! The art style, character designs, and music give the game such a strong personality, and the management gameplay gets surprisingly intense in a good way.
The signal system was a little hard to understand at first, and the pacing felt quite fast, but once I got into it, it was very fun. Great entry — sadly, I also got replaced by Felix 😄
