Snarky date sim. You have a blind date, you don't know jack about your date, but everyone on the mall does, so you have to talk around to determine what your date likes or don't. Also some things make you comfortable, and some don't. Pick wisely.
EDIT 0: Just to clear it up, take the Ludum Dare theme, concatenate it with a space and then with this game's title and you've got how it fits the theme ;)
EDIT 1: Game mechanics: Ever played Carmen San Diego? You must inquire on the shops about your date so you get a good idea of what it likes or doesn't likes (people know more about its dislikes than likes). Then, after you have a nice idea of what your date likes and doesn't likes go and acquire the best balance between yours and hers/his likes/dislikes. Red=You don't like, Green=You like. Watch your confidence meter. Controls are crap, i know, my bad, focused more on content and humour and forgot to tune the controls.
EDIT 2: The best outcome is >= 5 points, and the worst is <= -5. Both are relatively hard to achieve.
Bastante entretenida la idea, me agrado ver a mi personaje con todas combinaciones todas extrañas gracias a los gustos variados de la muchacha y los propios.
Le falta pulir bastante, los controles son un poco tediosos para moverse y no puedes echar para atras. Pero la idea es buena, con un poco mas de trabajo puedes tener algo brutal :)
PD: El titulo del juego dice "FFirst Impression", deberias arreglarlo
The movement is difficult to get the hang of and players should be able to see what shops they're entering, no matter what angle they're entering from.
It's also fairly difficult to move away from a shop once you've entered it.
Not really sure if this was meant to be a game where you must get the best outcome, but seeing all the various items you can buy, there's almost... too many combinations to try (if there's such a thing?). Navigation was pretty bad, everytime I came out a shop and try to turn away it would get me right back to the 1)2)3) selection screen. It'd happen sometimes 3 times in a row... ARRRRGH! The variety of items you can buy though was ... interesting. Vibrators? Yep. Native feather hat? Huh uh! Ackward date? You bet!
A very enjoyable game, it was fun and interesting to play. I can only complain about the difference in levels of sound volume between effects. And the fact that you cannot go backwards, turning in doors to get out causes you to go into the shop again. But otherwise it's a functional and fun game. 4/5
It's hillarious. Controls could use some polish and shops around the left and bottom edges of the screen are a bit hard to get into. But the humor compensates for that.
I brainstormed what things do you get in real life only once. As important things go, the first impression on your beloved one is a big one, one that brings sometimes painful memories (because it was an awkward moment), stress (trying to create rapport between you two), longiness (when you miss that one date when you met that special one) and happiness (because it went very well and you ended with someone great).
Then, after coming up with the idea, i tried to represent it in a way that doesn't involves a gender directly (if you look closely, there's no defining characteristic in your avatar that predefines gender, you define it through the accesories). This was important because i didn't want a "bro-game" where everything is for the average hetero white caucasian male (demographic in which i'm included) nor do the PAX "Diversity Lounge" thing where you try to be so Diverse that you end up patronizing "Diverse" people.
So, after all, this game is about being yourself, that's why most people assume the other party is of certain gender and won't ask questions.
Man that's genius and hilarious!!! Congrats for the idea and the humor! Also the way it fits the theme is original. Of course there is room for improvement and polish as always but the base is solid. Respect!
Buen trabajo, es bueno ver los puntos de vista de donde los demas tomaron sus ideas jaja. En cuanto al gameplay me imagino que fue como tu lo quisiste hacer :). Saludos desde Venezuela chigui.
Your player likes winning and losing as much as possible Your player likes figuring out hints Your player dislikes the sex shop existing but maybe that's just me Your player doesn't dislike the music even though some do Your player likes the interpretation of the theme

Funny, innovative game.
