To graduate you and your team of sidekicks will need to defeat your rival and their team. But you don't seem to have sidekicks yet. Luckily you know where to go: the school for seconds in command! Also known as Sidekick Highschool. Here you will talk to various sidekicks in hopes of getting them to join your team. And remember as the moto of the school says: "Every 10th second is special".

This game is the first game we have ever made (So also our first game jam). We had lot of fun and are excited for our first game jam submission ever. Although we didn't get to finish every feature and mechanic we still are very proud of the result. We might continue working on this game after the jam to try and fully realize the concept we had. We hope you enjoy the game and are excited to make better games in future game jams.

with love,
Scott and Nina

Nice little visual novel kind of game ^^ I like the hand-made drawings. Is there a way to get every person in our team ?

Very nice game ! I liked it even if we don't really know when we win or not (maybe a win sound)
Nice concept ! I would like to play when you will upgrade it :)
Don't know where are the 10 seconds but anyway, it's fun :)
Nice reference to the song ("Tell me why !!!!")

Unfortunately couldn't play it as there is no build for linux. Sounds like a fun idea though.

This was quite fun i love these kind of games, and the addition of the hand drawn art was nice. I cant get over "-excited trash noises-". Only thing is im not sure what was meant to happen every 10 seconds!

The idea of characters are funny xD
I'm not a big fun of visual novels, but you have a quite funny style for creating the dialogs.
There are some visual glitches, like characters being drawn above the dialogs, but as your first game, it's really nice attempt.
I hope that you can extend this game and make longer story.

This is a great first jam game! Welcome to this fantastic world. I went throught the games a couple times to get all the answers, I was curious hehe.

Really nice first game jam! I really enjoyed all the different characters and their dialogue. One suggestion would be to make the tutorial skippable on repeated playthroughs since the expectation is that people will play multiple times.
