We Have to Talk

Good idea for this theme! The visuals and the music are cute, and the game has a fun and bubbly atmosphere!

I like the visuals, it is clean and has good atmosphere. I also like how you understand the theme, an emotional but not serious idea xD

good job! Can i really change her mind? I tried many orders but still failed.

It's a very good idea to use the meme 'I think we need to talk' for this theme. I like it. btw, I sent the gifts in a likely correct order (flower-puppy-ring) but the reaction seems no difference. Is there really a good ending or there is no way to change her mind?

@Yukimiltsuka @ffffchai All good things must come to an end eventually, so u can just mitigate your loss and leave everything on a quite good note. that’s the theme of the ld50 after all. you are just delaying the inevitable.

Very cool use of negative space for the game title screen!

Were the old lady's instructions usable the whole time?! I had a very happy "OH COME ON!!" moment when I started the next round and figured out it still worked.

Really really fun take on the theme and great job with the game!

Love the simplicity in the graphics. It works! :-D

This has such a distinct feel to it and it is great.

Great entry! The design is well done! I did not managed to get my gf back, but i now have a trampoline, wich is great

I love the silly walk animation :)

It felt quite polished given the gamejam timeline, well done! Personally this theme created too many "sad" games but not your team's fault by any means

Fantastic art style!

The walking animation immediately got me. Couldn't win her heart back but I did find a trampoline... which is funny as she called me weak yet I was CARRYING a TRAMPOLINE! those things are heavy dude.

This was a lot of fun! I ended up playing much longer than I normally do because I wanted to try and save my relationship :')

I love the 1-bit art! The scenery is really well drawn (I especially love the tree) and the dialogue is pretty great too. I can't believe she didn't like my gift of a trampoline. Man, it's like she doesn't even like me or something. The humor is fantastic! All around a nice game.

Cool game! I was buyest and clicked because of TobyFox-like dog. Played 1-st version of the game. I don't know, if I could beat the game, but enjoyed trying to buy eeeeverything for his gf.

Nice little game! I played the post jam version. Do you mind documenting what the changes were? Otherwise my rating might be unfair.

Nice art and atmosphere! If I had to give you feedback it would be two things:

1) The girl is way to big, kind of weird to have her so much larger than the main character
2) The stair movement is a bit weird. Maybe make left and right work on the stairs as well and allow for them to be pressed at the same time? E.g. hold up and right to go right and then up when the star comes

@christian-zommerfelds thanks for the feedback! first of all, the girl was meant to be bigger than the main character, it's a metaphor :) second of all, the mechanics of the stairs supposed to be not-that-quite-easy-to-use, but at the same time we had limited time to polish it (maybe we will fix it after all). finally, we fixed critical bugs (and if you didn't find it, than it's good) and we added animation of trampoline! so that's it

The game is very polished. The visual is very stylish, the sound creates the right funny mood. The map is large and the curious player has something to see, but at the same time it is clear what needs to be done in the game.

this was a great game i enjoyed having to find those items lots of fun to play (:

I really enjoy the take in the theme, good job!

Very polished entry. Graphics and sound are wonderful (especially that walk animation). The gameplay fits the theme perfectly and is definitely a unique take on it.

That was a very cool small adventure, well done!

Love the old lady telling you how to go faster. Also the animations were quite hilarious, well done!
Would be fun to put it on gameboy :D

Excellent art direction, gg!

It's not often games explore these kind of themes so it's very welcome. Good job!

The best way to get to the supermarket

Looks very good! That visual so great. Nice job!

Great work! I Especially love the art style and the comedy :)

Like the simplistic yet cool art style, together with the progression design, you learn little by little how to get further and eventually you have can get to the end. Felt good playing and solving stuff and interacting with the world. But in the end it was inevitable :(

Great little adventure game and a very nice implementation of the theme. Everything fits together good!

Not being able to turn around mid-stairs and invisible walls at the end of the level felt a bit weird.

Good job! Really nice art! And the animation is very smooth！

Nice little adventure game, it was already off to a great start with white-on-black colour scheme - one which suggest a night - only for the girlfriend to point out it's actually daytime.

From what I can tell, I managed to complete all the mini-quests, which gave me a slightly different ending than the first time round, so I assume it was intended to be the 100% completion ending, where it still turns out the guy was just delaying the inevitable. And... it might not be satisfying ending in the sense of accomplishing the original goal (keeping the girlfriend, but it fits the theme.

Also, I like how it defies the trope that throwing enough gifts at the girl (...and robbing the jewelry shop in the process) will eventually make her love you. The fact that she was more considerate in her last speech (compared to the SMS in the incomplete ending) is also a nice touch. I can totally imagine her being internally like "dude, those gifts are all sweet, but it still doesn't change the facts we're not compatible, dude, please".

Well executed entry, I enjoyed it quite a lot. ^^

Really cool game. The timer seems quite punishing in the beginning and maybe the initial gifts should recover a bit more love/time. But I guess the fact the I didn't let that stop me is a good sign: I managed to get to what I assume is the true end after a two failed attempts. Narratively and thematically, I think you not being able to rescue the relationship makes a lot of sense but from a game-perspective I would have wished that the end, while not necessarily leading to keeping the relationship going, would at least have differed more from the failed ending - maybe end the relationship in an emotional outburst or something. But I really enjoyed my time with the game. Seeing the increasing lengths that you go to for gifts was great. Good job!

oh my.. very beautiful and nostalgic style. i also love the humor and the dudes animation lmao :thumbsup:

Quite a charming game! I like the simple art style, the funny interactions, the light hearted theme, it all fits quite well together. Well Done!

Nice little game, congrats!
It's about figuring the right steps, it reminds me of old school games, not only because of the nice graphics but because it's kindof how some were designed and sometimes hard to guess the steps but still interesting. It's a die an retry kind of thing especially since you learn halfway through that you can simply go faster lol
It was interesting congrats! And it's pretty funny haha

Very beautiful! Really nice art! And t works!
Absolutly love the dog :D

This is an interesting idea for a gaming startup ..
