Add Heavy metal and this becomes a headbanging sim

I thought this was pretty amusing. Nice job!

Agree with Jack. I like the art.

That is a cool way to do dialog!

Loved the approach and art. Audio would have helped a ton, also maybe a end screen instead of just looping.

looks, great, plays great, fits the theme. what more could you ask for. really impressive how much you can communicate with a simple head nod.

I got all 4 endings. I was under the impression that nodding a couple of times had a different effect, and that turned out to be the case.

I'm not sure if it's just my computer or something, but I felt like the game was running a little slow. She was talking slowly, and I wanted to be able to nod faster. There could have been more delay between speech to give me the chance to decide to nod or not too. Other than these things, I want to compliment the method of communication. Simply nodding or something is awesome. I can see such communication being used in a platform adventure or something where you jump up and down to show you understand or whatever when someone is talking to you. Actually just thinking about that reminds me of the communication in Journey, lol.

Good job.

Very unique take on the theme - an input mechanism that depends both on timing, repetitiveness, and whether you use it at all. Made a lot more sense when I read through the script! Very cool.

This is a hilarious idea. CAn't wait to get home and play it.

This is beyond hilarious. I never knew nodding was so effective. I'll go practice right now.

This is a really interesting idea, but it was much more clear after reading the XML provided.
Would also be good if she talked faster, but nonetheless it was still fun to play, fun stuff :)

This is a really cool idea. Would have been nice with some audio. Art is good.

Funny, I liked it. Great idea. She didn't seem to mind that I was constantly liking. I WAS ROLE-PLAYING A SEIZURE! I COULD HAVE FICTIONALLY DIED!

Haha, excellent concept. I'm disappointed I couldn't freak her out by nodding continuously like one of those toy dogs that sit in the back windows of cars.

I am looking forward to the Kinect version where you the player controls your character by nodding!

Very original! I wish it was longer

Absolutely brilliant. Gave 5 stars in 5 categories.

Great style and use of theme. My only complaint is that the text speed was just a bit too slow. It took me a while to get all the endings, but it was worth it. Overall, very impressed.

I like it, but maybe it would've been much better with more feedback, maybe more immediate facial feedback when you do something right or wrong.

Oh. I was distracted IRL and just pushed the button while I was not looking at the monitor so he just nods (hey, that works in real life!), and it was working just fine, but when I looked back at the monitor he was already telling her she's silly (that happens in real life too). Oh, okay.

Great idea! I like the simple but nice graphics.

The mouse cursor is hidden, so I couldn't use the restart button.

That is really cool, very simple but very good for what it has.

Very cute idea!

Really liked your approach. The art is really beautiful!

Nicely done! Beautiful art, and great take on the minimalism game-play! Took me forever to figure out how to get a date though!

.oO( Hm, I have to tell her how I feel about the game )

*nod* *pause* *nod* *nod* *pause* *nod*

*nod* *2 thumbs up*

Very metal.

Cute! The emphatic nodding option is a nice touch.

Weew! Gots me a date :)

Ha, this is great :D

If only life were as simple.

I loved this, really nice idea!

I couldn't get the date! It's too realistic!
Very clever use of minimalism.

I like the concept, simple and effective. And funny, too.

Oh, and by the way, thank you to have point a big bug in my entry. :)

I really enjoyed this game, the art is wonderful!

Awesome concept

Awesome. After a couple times through, here I am thinking I'm SO smart, just nodding like a madman...the "no" question is a nice touch. =)

...

It works like a charm. Probably one of the best take I saw on this theme :)
You totally manager to make a great one-button gameplay with natural feelings and nice profoundness.
Well done!

Very inspiring and interesting.

This is a great idea that was well executed. It fits the theme perfectly, showing how a simple head motion can be used to communicate so much. The whole situation is quite humorous too; I can relate to it. Excellent job.

Funny idea. The graphic style is really nice.

Fantastic concept and although it's only very short the interaction feels really genuine because of the difference you can make in outcomes which isn't that common to such a granular level. Some sound would go a long way, but I really loved this.

Typical woman. You're tuning out and nodding and agreeing then she tosses in something like "do you think I'm being silly?". Busted. Funny, interesting entry.

Great way to approach the theme! Nice art, good idea, flawless execution.

Cute game! The pacing was a little slow, so it was a little hard for me to focus on actually playing while she was droning on. I think the nodding mechanic was a really cute take on the theme though, and I think the art you made was great. Wonderful work, Rose! :)

Liked the simplicity and the art. :)

Such a great idea. Smile and nod: great life advice.

8 hours! Very nice!

Very good. I like how the girl's facial expression changes according to your response (or lack thereof).

This is spectacular in every way! How do you make Visual Novels fun? Make it a quick-time event! Brilliant!

Reading when is appropriate to nod interested me. If you continue to develop this, I was hoping to feel a little more active. It seemed the girl had already made up her mind and I was passively following along.

I rather enjoyed this one. Got her to date me, yay!

Nice!

Quite amusing. I'd like to see what else you could do with this given more time.

Clever concept. I'd love to see it fleshed out more.

Cewl idea and cewl graphics :)

The art and input is very minimal indeed.
The art is also pretty and you dont need more input. It was well done all the nuances you can do with just some nods.
that I think for 8 hours you did a lot. I'm curious what you could have done with even more time.

I saw this game in a gameplay video with 290 LD games and I had to check it out (especially because I had an idea like this one but decided to do something different).

Brilliant idea!

Haha, funny. Nice concept, although it felt like it was missing some polish here and there.

I admit, I cheated and looked at the XML. Sue me. I wanted my date.

Cool idea. Very simple, but deep. I wanna play more, actually, but I liked. Congrats!!
