Hi, gonna play this now!! It's crazy how much you accomplished in only 2 months, I only accomplished half of that in 3 months lol.... Were you in school/at work during that time? You're so fast!! Either way congrats :D
(Not sure why just the Jam version happens to work, but ) Windows can do that with Ren'Py games! It's a false flag- you should be able to click "more info" and then "run anyway"
awesomeeeee visual novel - me and my friends had a "Just Kiss Him Already!" afternoon marathon on Discord where we spend voicing our favorite characters ~
I’m usually only into lesbian stories but I like to be proven wrong. Thanks and… Looking forward to the sequel, I’m already a fan ;-)
I loved the constant choices at first (empoweriiing), but I loved it less on replays because it was… Pretty much 95% common route. It just doesn’t replays that well. :(
Anyway, that’s just details. My point is, the graphics are gorgeous (as anime fan). The romance romantic. The MC has this deathpan attitude I love. And got my gay Pinky Pie trying to have a girlfriend. Sweet :3
Thank you for playing (both routes too) ! I'm glad you gave it a go and ended up enjoying it!!
And for the feedback too! I agree that currently the replayability is poor (and many of the choices imo are pretty underwritten) But it's not a feedback I hear very often so I was starting to wonder if it was just me haha;
In the future I'd at the very least like to reward the player with some unique CGs for either route!! (maybe deviate a little more from the main path a little more too, etc)
If the other are a bit like me, I guess the idea of criticizing/suggesting at authors we like feels a bit arrogant from mere players.
I’ve eventually realized that feedbacks are somehow scarce even for “the good stuff”, so I try to work out the “I’m not worthy to talk to them, I’m overjoyed to but what if I’m just wasting their precious time - AAAAH what have I done” complex >_<’
I can get a lil spooked by it if it's clear someone didn't enjoy the game as they are criticising it (which isn' the case here ofc!!) , but with this project, it's probably my biggest work in progress and with how people are enjoying it already, I'd like to improve on it, so I'm happy to hear where people think more content could be added!
(Most of my projects are also Jam titles I then attempt to add more to anyways, so it all works out)
Absolutely loved it!! Will recommend it to my friends!
Also, i would recommend playing at least two times, one being a member of the student council and other being a member of the gardening club, seeing both perspectives is really cute!!
Cute and adorable, wasn't sure about pastel'ish backgrounds at start, but later on it looks pretty unique and charming. Also, I felt offended after Hayden's confession of being gay and the only answer being "Im not interested" >:/
Is there going to be any awkward-cute (kiss?) CG at the end? kinda missed it after all this hard work with those 2 idiots.
CGs are definitely on the to-do list! (I'm currently aiming for before JKHA's 1 year anni- I'd like to do a kiss scene specific to each of the routes, as well as some of other events in the story.)
this games feel like those sakura romantic anime scenes to me, it was so warm and fluffy uugh, i wish it was me.... and ofc i kin nala, PLEASE GIVE HER A WIFE !! 😣😣
I really loved your game, it was so incredible cute and funny to be the matchmaker for these two. I'd have loved to see some CG's maybe, but everything was so fluffly and cozzy. I love it!
I really enjoyed this game! It was really cute and the characters were really lovable too.
As a minor suggestion, I think it would be nice to have some kind of visual transition between scenes/days just to help the flow feel less jumpy. Either way this was a great game!
i was searching a bl novel when i came across this, then i saw the creator's name and i was like "where have i seen this name before" i swear i have seen your name on yt before. also the game, SUPER CUTE I LOVE IT
this game was so cute to play! it was short but made me pretty happy, i loved the art and the interactions, everything was so sweet <3 totally worth it!
Hello there! I finished this game yesterday night and just wanted to say this was an overall very enjoyable game to play, really made my day better (Also a very strong sense of deja vu since my friend was just like Hayden) I wanted to ask do you plan to add more features or plots in the future. like JKHA 2 or some sort, I would really want to see more of these characters
First I'd like to update the game with a lot of small things I couldn't include in the Jam's timeframe (some additional animations/poses, maybe some UI customizations, maybe some CGS) and just generally flesh this project out on a techincal level.
In terms of more story- very early days but I have a small second project in the works! ;0; I'd definitely like to do more with these characters in the future!
I really loved playing your game ! The characters we're so adorable and the story so interessting !
I don't know why but i wanna see more of Arley and Hayden's relationship♡ i also wanna see the MC playing as a matchmaker again with their neutral face x) and also what Nala's good girlfriend searching is going on !xD
Anyway, i really loved this game, thank you very much for sharing it♡
AAA THIS WAS SO CUTEE I really enjoyed every second of it and I was sad when it's over ;-;
The whole game looks so adorable, it goes hand in hand with the wholesomeness of the story! I really enjoyed thirdwheeling Arley and Hayden, I think that this is the first time playing as a matchmaker in these sorts of games, and I really enjoyed it. Maybe I should get a degree in matchmaking LMAO
But not just the main couple, I even found myself getting charmed by the side characters (I hope Nala gets a good gf one day). Love the MC's looks and characterization, I think someone down in the comments said it, but they give off a huge aroace vibe and I'm all for it.
All in all, good game! Super fluffy and made my day sweeter, thanks for sharing the game with us!
god i loved this game, the art is really pretty, the characters and their interactions are both endearing and entertaining to witness, and most of all... i would love to be nala's gf <3
it's alright if MC doesn't tho aha i like the fact that u can potentially hc them as aroace as well :) but thank u for creating this game ^^
The game was really cute! It was an interesting take playing as a match maker in a BL game. All the characters are endearing and I really liked how expressive the sprites was (Nala's was my favorite).
One problem I had though was the text being quite difficult to read ( white text with really thin border on white background ). I had to push my screen closer and strain my eyes to read the text properly. I suggest switching to black text or at least something darker, as even though the white text looked nice, it's quite distracting. The UI and textbox themselves are really cute and fit the game theme.
Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to add in some changes/options for the next update- I'm glad you enjoyed it all the same! Sorry for the eye strain! ;0;;
Hey! I played your game a few days ago and I thought I would leave some feedback (especially since I also released an entry with a similar premise, although we did take different paths).
And I really enjoyed this game a lot, and that's an understatement: the protag was endearing, the main couple is tremendously cute (I even have a personal crush on Arley), and I'mma fight for Nanala to get the girlfriend she deserves. I found the story well-paced, progressive yet fast enough considering the time-frame you've given yourself: the characters could expand their personality and their feelings in an effective yet cute fashion.
I also have to mention the art: from the characters, to the GUI, to the backgrounds, it was a very cohesive ensemble that really worked with the cheerful tone of the game!
I really appreciate the feedback/glad you found the characters endearing especially!! ;0; That's one area I'm still a little self-concious about haha; Same for the pace of the story/everything really- Thank you very much!
i've been watching the devlogs very closely and i'm excited for this- i've seen a lot of otome games and all that, so a more matchmaker approach to a game is really unique to me and i love that so much excited for another game from you!

Thank you for playing!! ♥
Hi, gonna play this now!! It's crazy how much you accomplished in only 2 months, I only accomplished half of that in 3 months lol.... Were you in school/at work during that time? You're so fast!! Either way congrats :D
I work a part time job and do some other freelance art stuff, but most of the 2 months was spent just focusing on the VN!
Thank you! ♥
Help, it says my windows has protected my computer and won't let me open it, I have downloaded the right file too. do you have any way to help?
so the jam version works for me
(Not sure why just the Jam version happens to work, but ) Windows can do that with Ren'Py games! It's a false flag- you should be able to click "more info" and then "run anyway"
Thank you for helping
Ohhh that's s cool!! ;0;!! Thank you for playing! And I'm glad you all had fun reading it out together!!

somehow the characters colors n they arguing kinda remind me of "unfriendly hater" - youtube) tbh
I'm familiar with the song, actually! I found it some time during development, it defs would go into a JKHA playlist haha ♥
I loved it so much! I loved everyone's interactions with each other it was so heartwarming! Hayden is my favorite for sure :)
Thank you very much!! I'm glad you liked it! ♥
Would love to see another game about nala!
(A more Nala focused game is in the works!!)
Oh, okay!! Can't wait to play it when it comes out then!! I wish you luck for al you future projecst too !
Absolutely loved it!! Will recommend it to my friends!
Also, i would recommend playing at least two times, one being a member of the student council and other being a member of the gardening club, seeing both perspectives is really cute!!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I plan to update the game in the future with some CGs/additional writing + features ! (Though I currently have other projects taking up my time ><)
olá terá esse jogo em português?? ( A arte é linda )
Se eu puder encontrar alguém para traduzir, eu adoraria!
(Desculpe, não falo português! Estou usando o google tradutor)
muito obrigado!
I really enjoyed this game! It was really cute and the characters were really lovable too.
As a minor suggestion, I think it would be nice to have some kind of visual transition between scenes/days just to help the flow feel less jumpy. Either way this was a great game!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Oooh that would be good! I was actually struggling with how to distinguish the days better- I'll look into that, thank you for the suggestion!
i was searching a bl novel when i came across this, then i saw the creator's name and i was like "where have i seen this name before" i swear i have seen your name on yt before. also the game, SUPER CUTE I LOVE IT
Do you listen to Vocaloid at all? I'm an illustrator for a lot of KIRA's works, so that might be where! :0
Thank you very much!!
oh!! now i remember youre THAT ekkoberry. i remember using one of your usts in my cover i love it!!!
The only ekkoberry to my knowledge LMAO
Thank you for using them! It's nice to hear they're still of use to people haha;
I really liked the presentation, pacing, and character interactions! Gonna go check out the devlogs now. Can't wait for more updates!
I'm glad, Thank you very much!
Imagine after getting them two together and maybe Nanala gets a girlfriend they all look at y/n and try to get them hooked up too lol
LMAO I love it
MC: pls no
loved it please make a story about Nanala trying to get a girlfriend. It was a quick game but really really fun to play
Thank you very much! (Something along those lines might be in the works already!)
Welp I'm gonna get my hands on that game when it comes out.
this was so fluffy akjlcdks!! i loved it and im planning on replaying it to see what would happen if i joined the student council hehe
nala was really funny as well, she might be one of my favs
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much, I hope you like Hayden's route just as much!!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! ;0; <33
Is there a name for the character with white hair? Or do they have a gender?
Never decided upon a canon name, but I see MC as non binary ;0;
SO CUTEEEE!! I loved all of the characters they're all so charming. Nanala supremacy tho
Just Date Nala Already

This was really cute! I liked the character dynamics and the art is so pretty and expressive. Lovely little game overall <3
Thank you very much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Been following the progress too. Glad to finally play.
It's just so damn cute. I absolutely adore your style.
Also props to the composer. The serious/romantic track was giving me chills.
Thank you very much! I'm super happy with how things turned out, and Carl did a great job!!
Omg
<333
i've been watching the devlogs very closely and i'm excited for this- i've seen a lot of otome games and all that, so a more matchmaker approach to a game is really unique to me and i love that so much
excited for another game from you!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you're excited!!
Uwa, I was hooked by the cover >3< I'll be patiently waiting
Thank you! I'll be posting Devlogs as the weeks go on to show my progress!
