What a cute game! (well most of it at least, that room is CRAZY). Great job on the game jam! Really love the dialogue.

Friend making sim... The last room person completely broke on me... It wne to 100 and stayed at 0.... The story was nice. Good job.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Nice game. I wish it was this easy to make friends in real life.

Developer

Same lol

Submitted

Nice idea. I enjoyed it, but no matter what I did I couldn't go to lunch. Overall, good job.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, I dont know what is causing the bug though

Submitted

Really nice game! Loved how just caring about others makes you make a ton of friends haha.
I agree that the sound of the talking gets a little repetitive and the school feels too big, but, besides that, it's really cozy and a nice game overall, congrats :) 

Developer

Thanks for the nice words, honestly, i thought the school was too small as it only has 5 rooms to explore

Submitted

a nice game, i felt bad for the teacher im glad he could make friends 

i also found it funny how big the school is 

Developer

Thanks for the nice words!

Submitted

Fun! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the nice words!

A funny little game, maybe even realistic in some ways haha. The only problem I found is that I've encountered some bugs where despite I befriended someone the story still wouldn't progress, but talking again fixed it so it's not a big deal. Still really nice experience

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Submitted

That was pretty cool, I like you made different options for dialogue. Could be a great visual novel with some rpg touches. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the nice words!

Submitted

If only it was this easy in real life! Cute little game, I liked the tone shift toward the end, and I appreciated all the dialogue options you made. I see other people disliked the dialogue sound but I actually liked it, lol, I thought it was really cute. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Submitted

I really like the game, the sound design should be a bit improved but other than that I enjoyed it

Also you should go and try my game, I would love feedback ;)

Developer

Thanks for the nice words, yeah i agree regarding sound design, I'll go try your game right now

Submitted

Interesting game, like the concept. The sounds for talking might be a bit grating after a while, but aside from that, would like to see it developed further :)

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, i completely agree regarding the talking sound, what do you think could be developed further?

Submitted

it's hard to say to be honest, I'm not familiar with the genre enough to give any more feedback other than that the sounds were a bit much after a while :p All the same, best of luck

Submitted

great message about insecurity, dialogue was fun!

Developer

Thanks for the nice words!

Submitted

cozy/cute game, i liked

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Very cute game! Really fun!

Developer

Thanks for the nice words

Submitted

Fun dialogue! Great submission :D

The dialogue sound however did start to make my ears bleed after a bit haha

Developer

Thanks for the nice words, as for the dialogue sound, i am sorry ahah, any tips on how i could have made it better?

Submitted

I probably wouldn't have done it better, heh. Perhaps a bit lower on the volume bus or a strength/mute option

Developer

Yeah you're right, thanks!

Submitted

I dig the art style in this one, very minimal but enough there to know and understand what everything is, great job!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Submitted

Really love this idea with the theme. I enjoyed chatting with the different characters. Loved the ending and message.

Developer(+1)
