Challenge you and your friend by trying to feed your date more than they can feed you!

The game is local multiplayer (1v1).

Genres: Dating sim + fighting game/sports.

Mechanics: Getting the sushi in your opponents mouth scores you 50 points, which are removed from the opponent's "health bar." Score 150 points to win! Stabbing them will lower their affection towards you, meaning they regain points on their bar.

Controls: Analog sticks on one controller /or/ WASD and arrow keys.

Okay, so I tried it with my sister, and thought it was really funny until I stabbed her in the eye. Then it was like, "Agh, what is this?"

Besides that, the mechanics were a bit unwieldy, but the graphics and music were great.

We loved it! Such a funny concept for a local multiplayer game. There were a couple of issues with the arm getting out of control but we still had a lot of fun playing it, great job! Also loved the 'nom' sound effects.

A simple but really effective concept that's been well polished. Great art and sounds, and a very fun experience. The blood made me laugh out loud! Didn't see a guide in-game, was confused at first when I tried to feed myself (although I love the idea of over feeding you date, very funny!) Great work overall!

Nice, simple idea and well executed. I had no idea forks were so dangerous.

It took me a while to understand what was going on and that I had to feed sushi to my partner Took me a longer while to stop making both of them bleed just because the animation is so funny! xD

I think it's a very good party game! I can see my friends playing this and the loser aving to drink a shot. Looks like the type of game that would make us laugh a lot if someone tried to play it while being drunk. Also, the art is awesome!

But there is a lot of stuff to improve, specially when you think party games tend to get boring very fast! Different foods that do more "damage" is one idea. Losing HP for hurting your significant other is also something I wish it was in the game.

Overall, Great job! :D

@Gustavo Manchae As a twist on fighting games, right now hurting your SO makes their "health" bar go back up (:

It is a funny game and you can l¡play with your friends but I think you could put more food with different score.
in overall it's great, different and original.
Great job.

That's absolutely hilarious :D! It is a bit hard to play multiplayer games solo, but I can see how fun this game will be with actual two players. Man I love audio effects and how silly that blood looks when you poke each other with fork. Amazing work.
