Ahoy, good luck on yer first date!

It's not about what you say, but how you say it.

_Delivery_ is everything.

The game is kind of fun and really interesting, kind of wonky with the sound recognition though. It also got stuck for me after I said "I love you" and I don't know if it's the end or not. Either way, the game is not like anything I've ever seen before, I liked it

Really like this take on the concept, must have been fun putting it together and playing around with different sounds. The wiggling spices were giving me a bit of a headache unfortunately but it was worth powering through to play around with trying to deliver my lines.

Neat!
It doesn't seem to work perfectly, but the idea is really interesting.
I too got stuck after "I love you" - maybe it was a bit much on a first date?

@potatocouch @kierogi @zirrrus thanks so much for playing! Yes, the "I love you" level is the last one, so congrats on getting that far! The game uses shitty speech recognition on purpose haha, to make the experience on the first date more awkward :laughing:

so much fun! this take on the theme is very clever!
i didnt really understand whether what i was doing was correct, but managed to finish the game
the way the spices look at first reminded me of these pictures where you cannot understand anything... and it makes it look weird, which i actually liked, fits rather well

I like that take on broken phone game! Nice visual esthetics and cool sound design, also!
This is one of those types of games that is very interesting to play, exploring and learning how the game will react to your input.
It's very funny how you made such a curious "Setting" with a few photos and make characters with it.

I would like to have more responsible input of grabbing letter bubbles. You could manage elements' depth to grab last dropped element at the same spot.

I want more of this game :D I hope you want and can continue that, that's a really cool idea. Reminds me of "Manual Samuel" where you do some trivial stuff with a lot of efforts :D Really nice one!

Very original concept for a game! It was super hard to control the buttons at time but was fun non-the-less. Keep up the great work!

Super goofy and original concept, nice one. I could see something like this being used to teach second languages.

that was super funny because i was playing on a very old and slow computer, and every phoneme was lagging hard, it made the whole thing even funnier! overall, without a laggy computer, well done!
