Thank you so much for playing!!! ๐๐๐
AHHH THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT? TwT
Ehehehehe we're so thrilled you enjoyed!!!! ๐ขโค๏ธ๐๐ป๐๐
Thank you so much for playing and leaving such a sweet comment!!! ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
OFC! it rlly was so good, you should be proud of yourself and everyone who joined in too!! :333
If I had to describe the game in one word, it'd be: cute.
It was SO damn cute. ADORABLE. And super well written. I really liked all the characters. Amazing MC as always Cat!! super funny and likeable lol
I liked the backstories for the childhood trio and how each character was fleshed out!! The characters in this game are great
The team did amazing!! And the music was picked super well. It really made the atmosphere
I only finished Jade's route so far and I need a few more days to continue. I don't want to do everything in one go because of how good this is haha
Will be waiting for Vanilla's route!! We got little of her but since the start she became be my favorite <3
Very enjoyable 11/10 will play again
Tabasa ilu ;-; โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
I shall do my best to make sure Vanilla's route does not disappoint!!! ๐ซก๐ซก
Thank you so so so much for playing and I can't wait to play your next project!!!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
<33333 cat, you are a damn visionary, and i must thank you again for inviting me to work on this game <3 not only was it such a blast to work on but also incredibly fun to play!
first off, you and kristi kicked ass with the mini games! the moving sprites was also very creative (love you jordan yeeting into space bug-- nah but i love vanilla moving around and the zoom in and zoom outs!). more visual novels should have that dynamism/blocking and mini games tbh. the transition with the background color changes were also so good.
speaking of the art, rai did such a terrific job with the bgs aaa all the little details!! beanz' designs of the monkeys and the customizable character hair and outfit assets is so adorable and amazing!! ofc, cat, your sprite work is always so majestic to behold! all the little expressions are so cute (vanilla's expressive brows and the sparkles on michael and jordan LOLOL <3) fish's beautiful and bombastic UI tied everything together so adorably aaa (still adore the hearts on the chosen dialogue) and i am ofc excited to see the CGs and more chibis hehe <3
writing wise, i am hyped to see vanilla's and michael's routes (but take y'alls time HAHA) and will update this review when kristi and i play jade's route as well <3 but first!! caaat!! your writing style is very distinctive and fun!! i love how common route played out with mc's dynamics with each character (the very romantic coded tension with vanilla/mc and also the one mc/jade scene where they hug aYO) and ofc the other side ships <33 (thank you for agreeing to my evil plans and letting me help develop them- HAHAHA). but i think you've set a really good groundwork for great multi-love interest VN where each character exists outside of MC and they can be affected by MC's decisions in the other routes (vanilla my sweet girl).
playing through jordan's route was really cool in the sense that i saw everything coming together and your edits also made it more cohesive <3 i love jordan rambling about capitalism and not noticing how he held mc (aaaa my type fr fr) <3 i also like the comparison between jordan and vanilla... tbh it seems that those two are more shy with gap moe while jade and michael are the more outgoing flirty ones. hence why jordan/vanilla and jade/michael do not work out but jade/vanilla, michael/jordan, and michael/vanilla work and in this essay i will-- HAHAHA nah but if anyone's reading this, please ship whatever floats your boat!
and tag me because i'm easily convinced /lighthearted HAHAANYWAY, everyone go play this amazing game by a super sweet and talented team!! more to come <3
This game wouldn't have come together without YOU!!!!!! Writing MVP ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐๐ You seriously did all the heavy lifting ๐ขโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ this whole Demo wouldn't have come together without you building a rock solid foundation for us with Jordan's Route ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐๐๐ I'm so sorry I sent him to space LOL.
Your words are such a blessing ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐
You and Sudachys are seriously the review MONARCHS -- any game dev who gets a review from you guys is insanely lucky ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Thank you so much for your work on Sweet Valentine, El !!!!! ๐๐๐ I'm super excited for your next works and updates on HDTDM!!! ๐ซก๐ซก๐ซก๐ซก๐ซก
Jordan was so excited to confess his love for us. I could say he.. was blown away! hahaha! (Quite literally. Either that or he's straight up been shot up into the corners of the observable universe.)
LMFAO OH NO ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I had to submit the update on 5/11-5/12 for personal reasons and he was fine in testing ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ but I didn't realize I shot him into space LMFAO!!!!!
I hope that gave you a cackle LOL! When I finally saw it I definitely laughed out loud for a good 10 min LOL.
There's a fixed version uploaded but the bugged version is infinitely more hilarious.... LOL!
I had to rush the fix so if I sent him to the center of the earth this time, I'm sorry ๐ Please do let us know LOL!!!!!! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
i love michael!!
He loves you too!!! ๐๐๐ in his own jerk/sassy way ๐ผโจ๏ธ๐๐๐
I'm super excited for the writer of his route (Stealth, who wrote Speared by Heart!!! Also an amazing game ๐๐๐)
WOOOO GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!! ๐๐
AAAHHH this was too adorable, I got diabetes from both the chocolate and the sweetness of the game !! >_< Your sprites are always so well-drawn and I really love how emotive the expressions are! The characters personalities really shined through in that aspect. (Also I love how you left in the unflinching Vanilla smile when roasting Michael ๐๐๐)
All of the mini-games are so well-made too, amazing work Cat and Kristi!! Beanโs monkes of course brought such an adorable polish to the player experience !! (I canโt wait to see the chibis added in too hehehe). And I think Iโve probably said this a couple times but Fishโs UI is seriously so great!! It really set the precedent for the gameโs aesthetic ๐
The group banter is also really funny, the cheesy rom-com humor was top-notch and I really grew attached to everyone! (justice for Vanilla TT !!) I really enjoyed how the vibes of Jadeโs and Jordanโs route were different, yet really fulfilling and heartwarming! El did a great job writing for Jordan, his nerdy and sweet personality was just too cute and I really love how his small gestures towards MC conveyed his feelings in the sweetest way๐ฅน. For Jadeโs route I especially enjoyed the descriptions of romance and the portrayal of falling in love, it was so evocative aaaa ๐ซโค๏ธ ( also jade has freckles I didnโt even realize until the zoom !!) and side-note, their fears and struggles are so relatable.
ALSO Jordanโs sprite (torso?) gets launched into the stratosphere during the fireworks confession, I got a hearty laugh out of it but I donโt know if it was intentional so i wanted to let you know LOL ๐๐
I had a blast being a part of this and Iโm still really happy that you like my backgrounds ๐ฅนโค๏ธ The BG zooms are also so smart?? I didnโt realize it would work out like that hahah but it worked out!! Thank you for having me on Cat! (And Iโm super excited to get to the rest of those backgrounds๐ฅ) Ok now Iโll stop before this review gets too long but will I return with a probably even longer review when the final build is out? Yes๐
LMFAO LAUNCHED INTO THE STRATOSPHERE LMFAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I gotta go fix that omg ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I just saw it, frick, I shall fix that first thing tomorrow ๐๐๐๐๐ LOL
RIGHT THE BGs YOU DID ARE SERIOUSLY ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง ๐ง I didn't realize how perfect it was until I was like "Holy frick I can zoom in on each mini game perfectly, did they plan for this?!?!?"
I think I got too carried away with moving sprites and BGs though LMFAO I didn't realize I sent Jordan to space ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐๐๐๐
Most importantly THANK YOU RAI!!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐ this project wouldn't have come together without your gorgeous BGs ๐ข๐๐โค๏ธ๐ it's such an honor to have your work grace this project!!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐
Can't wait for Micheal's route >:3c
