Наш слоняра! Игра забавная, я не совсем понял геймплей, очень игра похожа на жизнь XD. Все время проигрывал, все становились черными а у меня оставалось все меньше и меньше любви(

Haha this is great. Love the music and sound effects.
Might be nice if some people were attracted and repelled, rather than all one or all the other each game.
But funny idea! I never thought the sound of making friends would be so rewarding XD

Классная аллегория на жизнь. Чем больше неудач, тем меньше ты стараешься и становишься более закрытым и наоборот.

@semenchk Спасибо, дружище! Да, это правда, похожа весьма ^_^

@cambryx Hey, don't worry! Unlike our life here you can try until you find true love and friends ^_^

@artalasky Спасибо больше ^_^

@aj-atkinson Thank you, my friend! ^_^

@kit-gorn Благодарю! Всё так и есть, это правда ^_^

Interesting way of adapt to the theme, it is easy to relate and thus being in the mood. Really original, have you considered using assets for graphics ? I like the choice to do hand drawn tho, radiates something authentic

I was a bit lost because I didn't know what to do at the start. I think the game would be better if there were more guidance :thumbsup:

@veronica-l Спасибо! ^_^

@deathandrepublic Don't worry! It is really simple! Just play and soon you get to the end, whatever it is ^_^

@temmyt Thank you! No, I don't use assets, just because I am an awesome artist xD

@slepp My dear friend, thank you so much! ^_^

@ethanbai Thanks, my friend! Haha, sorry for some difficulties, game is just really as simple as that ^_^

Nice game! I really liked the music and the art, and the concept itself is pretty unique.

I played it several times to get both endings (I guess there are two?) and couldn't figure out the win condition—is it pure luck? But sometimes friendship is just luck! 😉
The game loop could be improved by having both types of people available in a single run and introducing clearer indicators to help the player determine who their friend will be.
But overall nice game!

I did it! I actually finished it twice because I wanted the screenshot and I still haven't figured out if it's random or not but maybe that's the point :)

Great vibes and the music's great. Nice work!

Fun little game ^^
Love that you had two languages! I had two outcomes: either everyone loves you, or all of them are disgusted. Is there randomness in there? Or did I miss something?

@chuchugeralt I think there is no really win condition... Just like in a life - someone get friends and someone become all alone. Can we really tell who is a winner? I don't know. But thank you very much for playing ^_^

@cosmogonicfrog Wow, you are really good at making friends! Good jub ~_^

@wouter52 Well, I think that sometimes, when you have friends, you can also find your true love too ^_~

Got alone and I have friends ending.. i guess there is at least one more, judging by comments? :)) There was a funny bug though, when friendly just jumped offscreen and I couldn't befrend last guy...

Fun little game, nice sound effects! That BLEARGH randomly made me giggle!

Nice game with funny sound effects. The mood feels a bit depressive, but it’s completely honest

Haha, loved the humor of this entry, quite short but really liked the mood that's built with the sound effects and the music that compliment the visual art.

it was indeed a tiny game. i like the 2 different "modes" where one of them the other rats are attracted to you and the other they are repelled. It would have been cool if the room was much bigger to play around with the huge speed you get. Nice job overall

@sergs-workshop Thanks, my friend! Well, something gonna be depressing sometimes, I guess ^_^

@stephenwhoskins Thank you! I am sure that you definitely find your true love ^_^

@marks Mercy! Glad to hear that ^_^

Cute game, I managed the get the good ending after a couple of attempts.

I think this game has great creativity. It reminds me of some classic games, but its new theme interests me a lot. Making friends is always mysterious, random, and interesting. However, during the game, I had some confusion. I either have to win everyone's liking or be disliked by everyone. I'm thinking, although such situations happen from time to time, could it be made more interesting and random? For example, not everyone likes me. Some people initially dislike me when they first come into contact with me, but after my efforts, they change their view of me and we become good friends, or vice versa. This can be more interesting and challenging. Secondly, friendship always changes in such a wonderful way, isn't it? In short, it's a great game. I give it a thumbs up.

I tried three times and was doomed to be alone. :cry:

Gotta love the music and visuals. There's something very sincere and charming in the overall feel of this creation. :heart:

Keep on jamming!

I like the concept and the sound effects. I got three endings but I’m still a bit confused: is there any skill to win, or is it random whether a person likes the player or not?

Блин, мне очень понравилась задумка и исполнение. Оно такое минималистичное и при этом способно создать тревожную атмосферу одиночества. Кайф. Я такое люблю, ахах. Аллегория на жизнь.
Музыка тоже прикольно сделана, сами писали? Мне напоминает что-то из серий Ералаша.

К слову, если вам нравится сююреалистичная атмосфера, то буду рада, если и к нам в игру загляните ;)
Управление немного глючное, но механику можно изи обмануть,чтобы не париться с таймером)

The sound effects were nice, especially the blergh sound. I thought the simple graphics and music really expressed a school environment. I got two endings and it really seemed up to chance what happens. Neat :)

Took me 3 times to get to the good ending. I felt I was destined to be forever alone! Awesome spin to the theme, definitely an unexpected take. Sound design is cool, graphics convey just what you need, definitely cool flow.

Also lol at that weird sound effect that scared me!

I liked it, the game is minimalistic, and the concept is really interesting, I think that the idea of ​​the game can be developed, and the story can be made a little longer. Of the minuses, I can only note the sound, the background music is too loud, and to be honest, a little annoying, since the sounds in it hit the ears. But overall, the game has potential!

@bluedandelion Hooray, congratulations, my friend ^_^

@judson Thanks! Yes, I just wanted to create a game about my own experience. Of course it is short, but I hope I was able to share some emotions with you ^_^

@dis0rder Don't worry, I am sure that you find wonderful friends haha! Thank you ^_^

@rol Well, like in real life - it is complicated. But I can say that friends surely help you in finding your true love ^_^

@ginger-kyoko Спасибо! Да, тут всё сам делал. Хотел на компо, но времени не хватило, пришлось в джем идти. Рад, что вам понравилось ^_^

@alex-mulkerrin Thank you, my friend! ^_^

@ryrumeli Haha, thanks a lot! ^_^

@dengyixa Thank you for playing! ^_^

@artemco Thanks! I take note about background music for learning later how to make it better, thank you for your honest feedback ^_^
