Interesting but the top and bottom of the screen get cut off at lower resolutions, if you don't add scaling or anything you should at least make the launcher not provide lower resolutions

haha, cool! Has an RPG system too and the monsters are resistant to things that make sense. Well done here, I liked it. Cheers!

Damn! ... I will for sure remember those conversations. Combat was simple but fun and the different types of monsters really ad to the replayability of the game. great spin on the theme. Good job!

This was a fun concept and it's always good to see a jam game try to work in some dialogue. An intro screen with controls would help those of us who dive right into the jam games (it's always nicer when games are self-contained!). I'd add that making it harder to fight with somebody who has a higher reputation would encourage players to be more strategic (and have more fun!). I didn't really feel outmatched at any point. Overall, it's a playful game that'd gain a lot from some sound effects and could be fun on a mobile device!

I like the idea behind this game. It's a clever combination the design is pretty intuitive, although it wasn't immediately apparent how to fight (I had to recheck the controls) the combat proved to be pretty good actually. Nice one!

Absolutely hilarious. Great job! I loved every part of the dialogue. Although sometimes I felt a little cheated by the randomness. I just kept on playing. You have a great concept here, I hope you can develop it further.

Wooo so much game designer ! Great concept and fun I liked it; lack some UI feedback or sounds (and dialogues a bit buggy), mais bien joué de toute manière bandes de français (^:

@Narudgi Merci beaucoup ! We didn't focus on sounds because we hadn't sound designer in that team.
It's cool to see some french game maker !

Possibly the best dating sim in the word, since it involves fighting the match and that pretty hot I gotta just say that. Also the cow guy is mine!Now that Ive stated my deepest and darkest secrets, you might as well try my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/trophy-defense

Very funny game :) I like the dialogue and the overall mood.
The idea is kinda unique, i think the theme is well respected
Combat mechanic feel a bit too random though

Very amusing take on the theme. I thoroughly enjoyed the chat interaction with the opponents and the fighting animations were on point. A minor gripe I have is the text didn't always line up right in the speech bubbles and some sort of gui indicator to swipe left or right would've been helpful for new players. Overall, solid entry!

Reminded me of my own experience with Tinder :) I enjoyed that each monster seems to have its own personality, it wasnt clear which responses were best, but thats part of the fun behind a dating sim.

This was really cute, the dialogue was funny and each character had its own feel through their dialogue! Well done!
