Perform actions each turn to make everyone like you more and like her less. You can only use your friends' actions.
To use a move: click on your friend then either use power or pick target, based on their move type.

Send commands to your friends over social media to gather favor among the other students. Isolate her from all of her friends to win! But if you make your friends do too much for you, they'll feel used, and stop being your friend! At the start of a round, your closest friends will gather around you. Make sure not to alienate too many of them!

Different friends have different abilities! Some can pull pranks on other students, some can win you favor with other students, some can pressure other students into doing your bidding!

It's actually a neat idea, once I figured it out. Works with the theme well, but man, you need a tutorial. It's really unintuitive, and took forever to figure out how it all works.

The concept is interesting, but that took quite a while for me to figure out what's actually happening in the game :/

This game gets pretty deep. I definitely love the concept, it probably could use some hand-holding in the beginning to help in learning all of the gameplay mechanics. Other than that, good work!

Definitely an interesting concept! I didn't get right away which character I was. I kept thinking I was the top-left and didn't realize I was the bottom-right. It made it really hard the first time around.

The second time it wasn't so bad. The music got a bit repetitive. I also didn't see the list of abilities until now (the ones you put above) so I had no clue what each power was. Now I know.

I think this could have benefited from a little bit of instruction but overall pretty good once you get the hang of it.

Interesting concept (with an interesting take on the theme). Some kind of visual indication of which powers the different students posesses might have been helpful.

Fun concept, although may need a little tweaking. Nice music and graphics; well done!

It took a bit of glossing over to figure everything out, but it was worth the time spent. The mechanics were good, and the music was appropriate.

I think the time it takes to get into this game could be cut down with an arrow showing you which side you start on and which side your opponent starts on, as the positioning was a little confusing at first.

Overall, I think this was a pretty good submission, and a really interesting concept.

Very interesting concept! At first it was confusing, but I kept on trying until I won! Great game.

i have no idea what iam doing XD

This was really a neat and different thing.

Couple people have said, but this could use some indicator of who you are and who you are against when you're starting.

The core idea is great but the game is really confusing. A screen with examples of what you can do and how you can do would certainly improve the game experience a lot.

Confusing as all hell but super fun! Yay for friendship!

Seems like a good idea, but it was a bit too complex for me to really understand without a tutorial ;-)

I loved the music, the game was difficult to figure out.

I looks cool, and I like the idea - I think I definitely need a tutorial as there is a lot going on at once and it takes a while to figure out what inputs you can make, and measure that against the outcomes, to figure it out

Almost gave up on it, glad I didn't. It works really well and is hard to grasp at first but it's really satisfying rubbing "her" face in the dirt after you steal all her friends.

Did the best i could, but i couldn't! I'm not a native speaker so, it's even harder!

Even though, nice game guys!
