PoliGame by Chrezende

[raw]
made by Chrezende for LD 40 (JAM)

After a lot of struggle, we managed to complete (?) our first game with some authoral arts. :grin:

After the theme release, one of the first things we thought was: "The more girlfriends you have, the worse it is" and everybody laughed. :joy:

So, the objective of this game is try to make all your girlfriends happy while not letting them see each other.

When you interact with the girlfriend, you give her attention and make her happy, but if you interact too much you don't respect her personal space and she get's angry, so you have to wait to interact again.

When one girlfriend wants to do something, you can interact to intercept the action and drag her with you. While dragging, you let her go interacting again.

When your girlfriend goes to the bathroom, eats, sleeps or watches TV her happiness increases.

You can't let them stay at the same room, or answer the phone, because she'll know about other girlfriends existence.

If you manage to follow all these guidelines, maybe you can win this dangerous game. lol

Excited for our first Ludum Dare, hope the theme isn't a tricky one.

Fun little game, the graphics and audio were very enjoyable. This could be a very addictive game in a larger environment. I couldn't manage to keep them happy long enough to get to the end, one would always seem to lose interest also placing one in the living room to watch TV before all the girlfriends had spawned in seemed like suicide. But overall a fun experience!

Had some great laugh and fun with this! :) I also enjoyed how the soundtrack accompanied the awkward situation, the protagonist is in. But very often I had the impression to lose the game for an unapparent reason.

@HarryHimself , thank you for the feedback, in the hurry to publish our game, we couldn't balance well the happiness increase and loss of the girlfriends. In a first moment we wanted to make 3 levels increasing the house and the number of girlfriends, but we couldn't achieve this. Maybe in a future build we manage to fulfill our ambition. :smiley:

@ElFapo , thanks for the feedback, the lose conditions was:
- 2 girlfriends stays at the same room
- Girlfriend happiness drops to 0 and leaves the house
- Girlfriend answers the phone (finding out more girlfriends calling the guy :laughing:)

But I confess the game is nearly impossible to win with the actual happiness increase/decrease balance. :slight_frown:
I don't know if we can revise this after the Jam countdown ended. If so, we'll do it and make the game enjoyable. :slight_smile:
