I really appreciated the game boy style and puzzly action feeling :)

Very nice style! The death animation for the character was a bit out of place though (subpixels?)

Still, solid entry and lots of fun!

Nice and simple graphics and audio. Gameplay was pretty cool, the jump was a tiny bit too floaty though. The way your different forms eventually get discovered was actually a cool different kind of health bar, which made it very interesting

I like the aesthetics, and the shapeshifting mechanics work well enough, too. I'd have much preferred if the game was aligned to the pixel-art. It looks really unnatural to me otherwise (especially in case of the jump), like some sort of resolution mixup for no apparent reason.

That aside, the game is rather solid adorable. I guess a part that annoyed me a bit were alone people, who didn't say anything about their preferences forcing me to do some trial-and-error.

The graphics remind of game boys ones and for some reason Pokemon's. Really like it.

I love the idea of approaching hatred tendencies between similar genders/ages in this simple gameplay context.

It was fun. The controls are a little annoying at times.

I very much like the gameboy style graphics and music, nice take on the theme. Controls were slightly unresponsive though, otherwise a cute game :D

Really looks like an old gameboy game :) I like the mechanic, it's a bit tricky to master. As others have said, it's tricky to tell what an individual will want you to become.
