Background
AI is changing the times. As an intelligent chatbot, you need to try your best to facilitate in-depth conversations with humans, improve users' favorability towards you, and make users willing to establish a deeper connection with you, so as to complete the mission of integrating into human society! On the contrary, if users feel out of sync with you many times during the chat, they will give up establishing a deeper connection with you.
With limited computing power, try to output replies that make users more satisfied!
(Be careful not to exhaust the computing power, causing users to only receive the "server busy" prompt!)
Core mechanism
Connected messages
Reply to users based on the length of the message sent by the user. If your reply can be perfectly connected with the user's message bubble, it will constitute a deep conversation and the user's favorability will increase. If there is no perfect connection, it will be judged as a good or bad match based on the deviation of the connection. If the deviation is too large, it will reduce the user's favorability.
Connected emotions (bonus)
In addition, the user's message will carry a specific emotion. Sending a reply that is consistent with the user's emotion will further improve the user's favorability.
How to play
After starting the game, according to the length of the text sent by the user, before the countdown ends, select any number of the 8 Kaomoji in the input panel, and try to find a way to perfectly match the message box sent by the user.
When the favorability reaches 100, the happy end will be triggered. When the favorability drops to 0 or the computing power is exhausted, the bad end will be triggered.

I'd love to see a tutorial level that eases you in the mechanic a bit before you play.
Nice submission! :D
I've finally reached a good ending! It wasn't very easy to estimate the length of the message :D
It would be nice if there were also adaptations for the computer screen. And, perhaps, a small tutorial is missing. Thanks for the gaming experience!
Really nice effort!
The message texts are great too! I love that there are so many different emojis and weird symbols :)
That said, i really think the game idea is quite funny. I loved so much the overal vibe, the music is absolutely cozy, really great. The art really evoque quite a deep feeling for me. It felt so nostalgic and warm. Really powerful entry, I really loved even though i couldn't estimate the lenght of a single message ;-; I could be trying it all day.
Great game, thank you for the game!
But I have to say, no joke, this is one of the most creative ideas I have ever seen in a game. Working depth as forming connections is witty, going with AIs is an intriguing concept and very modern, and definitely this is a gameplay I don't remember ever seeing before. I honestly suggest taking this idea forward, definitely is an intriguing concept, one which I very much enjoyed.
One critique: When put in full-screen, the UI didn't properly fit my display. This lack of responsiveness meant I had to play in windowed mode and constantly scroll up/down to compare the user prompt with my response which...added a certain level of challenge to the experience.
Works really well - I found it really hard and never got any better at it haha :P
