Super cute game, and I loved the art and music! But in my honest opinion I kind of feel like we (the player) are a kinda shitty partner. The one thing that really got to me was the comment at (one of) the end(ings): "Aren't you trying to lose weight?" (or something along that line.) I think it bothered me because our GF in this game is honestly pretty skinny/average weight already. A bit chubby maybe, but she has no real visible reason to lose weight, and the comment feels harsh and judgy. On top of that, we don't care at all about the ice cream. It's fine to have different tastes, but you should always be supportive of the things your loved ones like (even if they seem gross and silly to you), and it's clear our GF is super into these limited edition ice cream flavours, and it's one of her big interests. Why are we so judgemental and unsympathetic? We also comment on the messy apartment, in a way that, to me, feels rudely directed at our GF. Yes, she's the one who dirtied it, but any good partner would be more focused on their girlfriend's emotional wellbeing and on how distressed she seems, not something as trivial as a messy flat.
Sorry for the really long rambly comment, this game is actually well done and was fun to play, and this is in no way me saying you should have written the partner differently, or that this was a bad game. It's just my critique of the partner character, and kinda also a rant about why you should care about your partner's interests (hint: it's because they're your partner, and you should support them!).
Also, side note, I really really adore our GF's socks hehe. Are those… goose socks layered on top of cat/bear/some other cute creature socks?? Whatever they are, I want them.
Ahh I just realised I'm reading way too into things again, aren't I? Well cute game regardless, I really wish she was my actual GF tbh, she seems so sweet and wholesome <33
Regarding their relationship, I consider them at a state when they're comfortable with each other already. So the messy apartment inner thought-comment, questioning MC's silly girlfriend taste is and even the remark about her about losing weight (bcs presumably she mentioned about it before) were all out of MC being honest and comfortable with her. Also, she doesn't tolerate liars (she mentioned it in-game), so I assumed at some point when they started the relationship, they agreed to be honest and open with each other no matter what. I personally like this kind of relationship, so I wrote this with that in mind. :D
In this case, she's fine with all of those and she's not hurt in any way, so don't worry, all is good! They're in a really comfortable relationship together. ^^ I also tried to gave MC options to support her in various ways; either by comforting her feelings or solving her problems. It was quite interesting to write her various reactions to the choices.
Nevertheless I agree with you, it's kind to support our partners and care for their tastes and well-being! Obviously, if we know our partner isn't fine with any of these comments, it's within our judgement to make the best reactions out of the situation.
In this case, MC, um, we tried our best! And she actually moved on pretty fast from this, she's a very happy-go-lucky character. I like her a lot hehe.
And aaa I'm glad you noticed the duck socks!!! I'd love to have one too... 🦆🦆
Thank you very much! It's nice to read your thoughts! ^^ 🍦
shes gear 2 luffy shes pink she also has very bad animation? like who eats super spicy sweet and sour ice cream man WHAT IS HER TASTE BUDS LIKE WHO DO WE MARRY MAN SHES SO WEIRD anyway bad animation and only good stuff music
Super cute game! I loved the extra little movements from her and the good and evil bars! I played it with a bunch of other game jam entries but it was really good and stands out nicely!
A quirky and fun visual novel with an adorable, clean aesthetic. Loved that you could choose who actually ate the ice cream! The humour was great, and I really appreciated the extra little touches, like the angel/devil bars, and the button in the menu that lets you see all the endings you've unlocked. That attention to detail makes for such a nice experience for the player. :) Lovely little game!
Aaa I'm glad to hear that! This was my first time incorporating gauge bars and multiple endings, it was a fun week working on this! Thank you so much for playing!! ^o^ 🍦
Aaa I'm glad to hear that!! <3 Writing this very-packed VN took me really long, I'm glad I was able to condense everything under 1,000 word limit. I'm glad this cheered you up... Thank you very much for playing!! 🍦
This was such a cute and funny game!! The concept was EXCELLENT: really slice-of-life, so right up my alley, and getting to choose whodunit was a great narrative design idea, ending up portraying the relationship so differently each time!
The art was also gorgeous, the girlfriend is so cute (I love her outfit) and the background is so detailed! The implementation of it all was also successfully done!
Aaa I'm glad to hear that!! Writing this was hard and took me so many days to wrap everything up ;-; making the art was very fun, I'm happy you loved her outfit, I think it's really cute too!! Thank you very much for playing!!🍦
What a charming game! Your art style compliments slice-of-life stories so well! The background and sprite were very pretty to look at, it was cute seeing her scuttle around the room. The banana line SENTTT MEEE LMAOOO she's so real and deserves all the ice cream in the world! ♡
Aaa thank you so much!! Making the art was really fun so I'm glad to hear that!! She loves her bananas yes ^o^ and don't worry, she got her ice cream alright haha... Thank you again for playing!! 🍦
I like that you can have different scenarios based on who ate the ice cream AND your answers. I think that's neat! You've managed to pack so much variety into such a little game, and that's very impressive! I also appreciate that you can easily manage the good/evil stat with the bars, it's a handy addition. 👌
And the art is a cherry on top of everything else, I loved the sprite's expressions and the details in the background. So cute! And the GUI is just lovely! I especially adored the custom cursor and the little angel and devil icons, they're adorable fsdlkfslfks
Yes, writing this to fit under 1,000 words was really, really hard haha ;~; I needed a week-ish to decently wrap it up, and small adjustments were made until the very end. Lots of if statements and loops were coded to be able to fit everything just right.
The art was done in the last 3 days, and it was the fun part of the project haha - I'm glad to hear that! >w< The icons are very smol and cute haha!
Very cute and fun game! The art for the girlfriend is adorable! I love all the expressive faces she makes! The background was also well drawn. The story is pretty wholesome and silly. It’s an interesting idea to let players choose the culprit at the beginning. I think my only feedback would be that the karma system seems to not relate to one of the endings? At least for Ending 1 it didn’t seem to matter, it was based on specific choices? It kinda caused some confusion for me at the end when I was trying to find all the endings. Regardless, I still had an enjoyable time with this. Great job!
Aaa first thank you for playing and recording this, I enjoyed watching it!! ;;w;;
And aa yes, it's not pure good choices vs bad choices to reach the endings. The formula is made so that you cannot be truthful or lie too much or she'll assume wrongly anyway.
In a way, I tried to make it more tricky since some choices don't affect the visible stats bcs there are hidden stats (like the offer to hug vs not - while it doesn't add to any stats, it pisses her ahaha), sorry if that was confusing. I should have written in the feature that there are 2 visible stats and 2 hidden stats (it's written now!) to take into account. >_< So thank you for that pointer!
I can probably think of making this more clear in future projects that I will do with choices and stats, so this is very helpful!
Aaa thank you! I tried to ask around so far but I haven't found any solution yet ;-; and good luck going through your backlog!! (I have the same problem ahaha)
edit: the android version is fixed! >,< it's up now.

Oh gosh, this is so cute!! The arts, the story as well!
Great job on making this. I love your work!!
I love ice cream too, but super spicy sour strawberry.... uhmmmm I might at least try it. XD
Thank you very much Yui!!! 🍦
I know some people would be interested in this ice cream... Though personally I don't eat spicy stuff myself haha ^^;;
VERY cute art and game ❤️ We had a lot of fun playing it and the 'i ate it' 'she ate it' dynamic is very amusing, especially for such a short game.
I'm glad to hear that!! ^^ Thank you very much!! 🍦
Aaa thank you so much!! I loved watching this, it was really fun!! ^o^ 🍦
shes gear 2 luffy shes pink she also has very bad animation? like who eats super spicy sweet and sour ice cream man WHAT IS HER TASTE BUDS LIKE WHO DO WE MARRY MAN SHES SO WEIRD anyway bad animation and only good stuff music
Ooh, I see... :O I still have a lot to learn. How would you do it? Can you ever so kindly teach me how to make a good animation? 🙏
Aah... I guess you were part of the unlucky ones to not get a chance to taste this limited edition ice cream... 😔 Better luck next time!
I guess so 😔☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️
Such a fun' lil game. I love the cute art, too. Well done! :) <3
Aaa thank you so much! 🍦
Waa I'm glad to hear that! It was a lot of fun working in this... Thank you very much!! ^o^ I enjoyed the playthrough!!
Arts are so cute and the game itself really cool!
Aa thank you very much!! ^__^ 🍦
I like eating people
same bro
Amazing game. Funny and VERY relatable.
Hahaha I enjoyed the playthrough!! >o< Thank you very much!! 🍦
I had a great time playing it. Thank you for making such a fantastic game for me and my community to enjoy.
I put a roofie in her ice cream
I love gaslighting my girlfriend into thinking she's a gelatinous creature that only eats limited-edition ice cream simulator!
A quirky and fun visual novel with an adorable, clean aesthetic. Loved that you could choose who actually ate the ice cream! The humour was great, and I really appreciated the extra little touches, like the angel/devil bars, and the button in the menu that lets you see all the endings you've unlocked.

Aaa I'm glad to hear that! This was my first time incorporating gauge bars and multiple endings, it was a fun week working on this! Thank you so much for playing!! ^o^ 🍦
Yes yes yes, I have to agree on all of these hehe. The 'I ate it'/'she ate it' dynamic is so fun, and I also really loved all the little details :3
I really like how she looks. She is pretty cute. Also this game was fun to play. Getting all the endings was fun, I need more games like this.
I'm glad to hear that!! Thank you very much!! ^-^ 🍦
Your welcome. The game might not be that long, but it's still fun to find all the endings.
The choices were so much fun, and the scene cuts really added to the sense of pacing, to the point where I just forgot it was 1,000 words.
omg I needed a laugh today, I think I just started smiling the moment I opened the game page from the visuals alone. Thank you!
Aaa I'm glad to hear that!! <3 Writing this very-packed VN took me really long, I'm glad I was able to condense everything under 1,000 word limit. I'm glad this cheered you up... Thank you very much for playing!! 🍦
i got them all! i love the artstyle
Ooh yay, you did it!! Thank you very much!! 🍦

Managed to get all the endings. I liked how animated she was and how the perspective worked.
Ooh yay! You did it!! ^o^ Thank you for playing!! 🍦
Got all the endings, what a sweet little game! 🥰

Thank you very much Hiro!! 🍦
Very cute!! I really love the overall graphics.
Miss GF is adorable but I'm worried about her tastebud.
Now, I'm gonna go and get my own ice cream (normal one)
Aa don't worry! She's fine, she (probably) didn't get to eat it. ;;-;;
I hope you enjoy your ice cream!! (I want one too now ahaha)
Very cute and fun game! The art for the girlfriend is adorable! I love all the expressive faces she makes! The background was also well drawn. The story is pretty wholesome and silly.

Aw, looks so cute! May you get the sound working in Android!
My existing Backlog is the only reason I'm not playing this, but good luck!
Aaa thank you! I tried to ask around so far but I haven't found any solution yet ;-; and good luck going through your backlog!! (I have the same problem ahaha)
edit: the android version is fixed! >,< it's up now.
This girlfriend is such a girlfailure haha. But seriously, what kind of ice cream is this???
She is very gullible haha!! It is a limited edition ice cream flavour (the maker couldn't sell it well) ahaha =P 🍦
so cute, loved the adorable graphics!
Aaa thank you!! ^o^ 🍦
cute also that ice cream does sounds disgusting
I agree haha!! It's a ridiculous flavour... and thank you!! ^~^ 🍦
