Just Ask Her Out by ciderWrath
For my entry for the theme is a visual novel about Alex. Whenever Alex tries to ask out the girl he likes, he has a tendency to overthink and get too much anxiety, so this story illustrates his attempts to try to eventually ask her out.
Just a warning, this game is incredibly short, but every single choice in the game has their own drawings to go with them, so I recommend going back and making other choices to see how they play out. Enjoy!

Good work!
Also really love the twist at the very end---you could have a *really* fun visual novel with that mechanic. Awesome stuff.
I like that the sketchy style on yellow background reminds me of sketches on paper in school. That was really nice.
You drew a lot of pictures in a short period of time and I like them a lot. I'm super impressed.
@moonlightbomber You got it! I took a little break, but currently thinking up ideas of how I'm going to continue with the game. I had a lot of fun making the game and would like to keep working on it.
@bryceltaylor Glad you think that! About the different drawings, at first they were just spur of the moment of what I felt like drawing, but eventually the thought did cross my mind of I should reserve the style changes for the situations of how they were happening. I was real curious to know how others felt about that, so thanks for your comment!
Also the art was great, all the expressions really nailed the writing home.

You must have rushed like a shooting star to overcome all that stuff, well done!
Especially the ending was fun. Good job folks.
Well done!
