I simply got playing that is finished it really is AMAZING! I do not wish to ruin certainly not We recommend playing this video game!

I must say I liked this game. From the thing I understand, both glucose and Kale be seemingly regarding the autism spectrum, that I appreciated. We noticed Kale, specially, along with his trouble in interacting with attention response that is contact/slow, reduced intelligence/ability than their alien household, and placing their hands over their mind as he is pleased.

In addition actually appreciate your tale framework and message. I am perhaps perhaps not in the best spot in my life, your characters reminding me personally that everybody is exclusive and unique, that in specific my current is an excellent thing is a number of the positivity that We really appreciate.

Each and every time I have an ending, it simply claims bad closing it doesn’t matter what i actually do.

i freakin’ loved this video game!

I must say I liked the figures (mostly sugar for apparent reasons)

i mostly downloaded the video game due to the fact artwork looked amazing plus the figures seemed interesting

i wan’t disappointed (not even a bit that is little

i came right here simply to locate something gay because I will be, together with art about this game is really so gorgeous. I obtained something a great deal better. I am positively deeply in love with the figures, particularly sugar and kale, (which are THESE attractive names btw) i hope I will see more content yours honestly from you, with these characters or any of. i dont have actually much cash, but I really hope tipping you some with this conveys what my words honestly cant because? this is breathtaking. many thanks consequently so a great deal

Maybe there is a variation for windows? This appears super adorable but i’ve windows

The “PC” build — the next one in the list — is for Windows, actually! Your remark actually made me understand I hadn’t marked it properly in Itchio’s system, the good news is each file is actually labeled because of the small icons. Many thanks, i may never otherwise have noticed!

finally played through each of it and. wow. it had been amazing – especially the end. I was thwenking i happened to be likely to be disappointed by the endings i held getting, but as soon as I acquired the ending that does work i ended up being therefore, therefore pleased. and every thing was amazing! I cannot wait to see more from you ;w;

Oh, i am actually happy you enjoyed it! That is this kind of sweet comment to leave, many many thanks a great deal when planning on taking the full time to publish it; ideally i will be in a position to carry on this option’ tale 1 day, we surely had a very good time together with them (sufficient reason for every person’s awesome efforts on art/UI/etc, haha).

Extremely concept that is strong super solid art– most people are therefore fun and interesting to consider plus it ended up being enjoyable to get on to where in fact the game ended up being going. The last discussion had been intense and honest and I also had been held simply planning to see under Kale’s mask a great deal?!

We appreciate each closing in exactly just how it gets one to considercarefully what might take place after, esp after seeing the real end and thinking returning to the bad ends. There is a great deal to nibble on in this VN as a reader which is super nice that I think isn’t hand-fed to you.

Overall, we liked this and I also’m therefore happy to own another KICK-ASS circulated game away from you!

DCS. You are constantly too friendly, haha, but i am thrilled the characters were found by you engaging additionally the plot’s general scheme struggled to obtain you. These topics are certainly things i do believe about a good bit, and so I’m happy I became in a position to do them justice for you personally as a new player without (in your terms) coming down as hand-feeding it for you!

ahhh i had a problem? it crashed it gave me this on me and:

codei’m very sorry, but an uncaught exception took place.

While operating game rule: File “game/script.rpy”, line 526, in script File “game/script.rpy”, line 526, in NameError: name ‘gradesflag’ just isn’t defined

sorry for the spam; but AH yeah its rlly gr8 up to now!

Don’t worry, you actually aren’t spamming; this can be super feedback that is helpful enabled me personally to correct a mistake you and another user both had! (It ended up being simply an absurd typo, whoops.)

You can actually re-download the overall game utilizing the variation that is up now, which will be defined as 1.1, and ideally that bug ought to be completely gone.

Many thanks for your assistance! I must say I be thankful.

A tremendously interesting game, i need to state! Original concept certainly. We’ll play the role of as spoiler free as you can, if individuals who haven’t played the game look at this, therefore I might appear quite obscure at some point, but We’m pretty certain the game’s creators will realize pretty much what I’m speaking about haha!

The art design is quite sweet, and I also love the figures’ expressions. The environment is good too, so it makes sense we don’t see that much of it though it would have been nice to get to know it better, but well, the game is very short.

It took me personally some time to know the video game’s gimmick concerning the endings, if you choose to tell him he must have nice plans or something like that instead of talking about grades because I started with Jeremy’s route, and there was an error. I became in a position to “ignore” the presssing issue, but I happened to be concerned something did not trigger, securing me personally onto one closing. Happily, i have tried one other figures later on, also it aided. Nevertheless, i am wondering – does the overall game have actually just real and endings that are bad or could I find a “good” ( or other) one too, somewhere? That real ending ended up being too heartbreaking, oh dear!

I happened to be actually amazed during the explanations during the final end, though. When checking out the males’ channels, I became pretty certain that exactly exactly what occurred during the end had been because Kale was not convincing enough when returning to the dorm and due to the “failure” that happened. It absolutely was really interesting to truly which makes it the alternative.

Wow, thank you for the long and thoughtful remark! I’ll attempt to explain to you your entire points therefore ideally I address them; if there is one thing We missed, do not think twice to inform me.

First, thank you for the tip-off in regards to the bug on Jeremy’s end of things! I adjusted the script to fix my buggy that is own typo so that the 1.1 variation that is up now’s working efficiently compliment of you and Jei leaving responses about this. Better every day late than never ever! After your feedback, i have additionally gone in and included a web link in the beginning of the page to a content warnings/ending walkthrough post, to minimize the confusion hopefully. What is listed here, and the things I think your remark suggests which you saw, is perhaps all that there surely is of Cupid Date.

And I also’m happy the premise seemed interesting, haha! We absolutely might like to do more by using these figures, and currently have plans in movement when it comes to bigger world setting — I actually pulled the environment from a lengthier WIP — but i am happy you discovered that which was currently here engaging sufficient to notice it through. Remarks such as this positively ensure it is all worthwhile, many thanks!
