Very cute and a nice story, but kind of lost it at the end since the confession scene was a bit anticlimactic. But hopefully an update would make it better. Just my opinion, but it'd be nice for them to confess to each other just the two of them and Nanala and the Player watch from afar.
i adore this game. i didn't even have an account for this website i made one JUST to comment about how good this is oml. you are an artist this was the cutest game i've played in a MINUTE 10/10.
i am DYING. The art, the dialogue, customization, everything, UGH! I may or may not have gone the gardening route, but I just love Arley's character! (and gardening!) It's my new favorite game. Can't wait to play JKHA2!!
this might just be a me problem but uh.. i think the player charachters really just bland, even doki dokis protagonist had some personality to them and the player charachter just has none not trying to insult you or anything but letting the player choose their personality through choices or giving them a more intresting pre- selected personality seems like a better choice in these kind of game, but that does mean more words so i totally get your stance in this situation its just a bit boring
unfortunately, due to my insufficient knowledge of English (I am writing this through a translator) I didn't understand the text very well.. and in general, some words I didn't understand at all lol. but this didn't prevent me from enjoying the beautiful drawing (especially in Just Kiss Her Already), cute characters and their dialogues, filled with cute words as well. I'm really looking forward to new works from the author, for example, maybe a love novel of the main character, it would be interesting. And I would like to see art with kisses ahah.
P.S. I hope I have written everything clearly and you do not have difficulty reading it...
this was really cute!!! Bet it took all the patience in the world to not just lock them in the same room to sort everything out lol.
The branching paths & getting to experience both hayden and arley's pov was really cool, everyone was so cute and likeable too! can't wait to play the sequel!
Game jam time restrictions, mostly- I intend to add CGs/additional scenes showing them kiss at a later date (I'm currently busy with a commercial project) but I hope that with the way the story ends right now, I hope it comes across that the kiss is implied!
Honestly? It comes across as the kiss is implied to come in another 3 seasons, during the sakura blooming festival or something.
Would it kill you to draw a kiss and put in before the credits roll? Game jam restrictions are way behind you now.
Give us the kiss! We want the kiss! We NEED the kiss!
p.s. No pressure though, I know a job is a job and you gotta put food on the table before you mess around with your personal projects. But I also know how artists are, I am one of them. And unless people keep pressing you into it - you might never go back to finish the VN.
The Jam ver is the original version of the game! (The amount of work I did back July-August during the game jam I made this for).
It's kept up so people can see what I made in the 2 month time frame, but the latest version has extra features/is continuially updated as time goes on!
I was definitely smiling like an idiot through this whole thing. Ekko, I've seen your work in Kira's PVs for a very long time and have always loved your style. Discovering that you make games has been the best thing ever!
Aah thank you for keeping up with what I'm up to! ;0; ♥ One day I'd like to make a Vocaloid VN actually- could be a fun way to tie everything together haha
If I may, I'd love to see a VN that ties together all of Kira's different characters!! I could just imagine Machine Gun Gumi tapping away at her phone, talking to Digital Girl Miku... Hahaha
this is SO CUTE! i love the artstyle, its the best thing! i played the whole game twice (to see the other route) and loved the fact that u get tidbits of info from a diff pov, so clever!
the only thing i think would improve the game even more is a final card? for like a kiss or smth, since thats the name of the game. but i rly loved it!
id like to say my fav part but i dont want to spoil anything either, but i enjoyed every single click of this, great job!!
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 !! 😣😣

SAD bc i lowkey wanted Hayden but 10/10 I LOVE THISSSS <3
Very cute and a nice story, but kind of lost it at the end since the confession scene was a bit anticlimactic. But hopefully an update would make it better. Just my opinion, but it'd be nice for them to confess to each other just the two of them and Nanala and the Player watch from afar.
Ooooo I just played through this in one sitting – beyond cute, very funny and well written. Hope Hayden and Arley are going strong!
Thank you very much! In my mind they are LOL ( 2gether 4ever)
Hey,cant you made a mod in Android ?
(Sorry for the mistake, im french and I don't speak the language very well)
First off, absolutely loved the game!! It's so cute omg
It also really reminded me of this song, it just fits so well
Thank you very much!! I've been shown this song a couple of times now LOL it fits so well........vibes perfect
Awesome song! It totally fits the vibe haha, thank you for posting it!
i adore this game. i didn't even have an account for this website i made one JUST to comment about how good this is oml. you are an artist this was the cutest game i've played in a MINUTE 10/10.
Aaah, thank you! I'm very flattered you'd make an account just to say this!! ♥♥♥
It was so god damn adorable I couldn't handle it!!!! Very well made!
Thank you very much!!
This is so adorable and wholesome.
Thank you again for playing! I'm glad you're enjoying my games!! ;0;
i am DYING. The art, the dialogue, customization, everything, UGH! I may or may not have gone the gardening route, but I just love Arley's character! (and gardening!) It's my new favorite game. Can't wait to play JKHA2!!
Overall:
Amazing Game. 10/10.
(late reply, but) Thank you very much! ♥
I loved the game it's very good :O
YESSSSSS
but why do the two main characters low-key look like bakugo and deku from mha?
I can't get enough of them, if there's a side game or sequel, i'll be so happy TT!!
this might just be a me problem but uh.. i think the player charachters really just bland, even doki dokis protagonist had some personality to them and the player charachter just has none not trying to insult you or anything but letting the player choose their personality through choices or giving them a more intresting pre- selected personality seems like a better choice in these kind of game, but that does mean more words so i totally get your stance in this situation its just a bit boring

P.S. I hope I have written everything clearly and you do not have difficulty reading it...
Hayden and Arley are fr frenemies to lovers, ngl-
i already love this game
this was really cute!!! Bet it took all the patience in the world to not just lock them in the same room to sort everything out lol.
The branching paths & getting to experience both hayden and arley's pov was really cool, everyone was so cute and likeable too! can't wait to play the sequel!
Thank you very much for playing!! I hope you enjoy the sequel just as much!
wrote a comment asking for a sequal with the girl one time so im gonna try to spend some time to complete it
The game is called "kiss him already".
They don't kiss in the end.
What gives?
Game jam time restrictions, mostly- I intend to add CGs/additional scenes showing them kiss at a later date (I'm currently busy with a commercial project) but I hope that with the way the story ends right now, I hope it comes across that the kiss is implied!
Honestly? It comes across as the kiss is implied to come in another 3 seasons, during the sakura blooming festival or something.

Give us the kiss! We want the kiss! We NEED the kiss!
p.s. No pressure though, I know a job is a job and you gotta put food on the table before you mess around with your personal projects. But I also know how artists are, I am one of them. And unless people keep pressing you into it - you might never go back to finish the VN.
Sorry if this question sound stupid, but i wanna ask.
what's the difference between the latest and jam ver ?
The Jam ver is the original version of the game! (The amount of work I did back July-August during the game jam I made this for).
It's kept up so people can see what I made in the 2 month time frame, but the latest version has extra features/is continuially updated as time goes on!
add some translations plsssssss
So cool game and so cute and sweet art!
Thank you! ♥

OMG i didn't think I'd become obsessed with this game! Its SOOO cute and just a great story line, i totally recommend playing this! 😍
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!!
this is SO CUTE! i love the artstyle, its the best thing! i played the whole game twice (to see the other route) and loved the fact that u get tidbits of info from a diff pov, so clever!

id like to say my fav part but i dont want to spoil anything either, but i enjoyed every single click of this, great job!!
Thank you very much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to play through both routes!
I intend to add in CGs at some point!! Top of the list is them actually kissing haha (but I have other scenes I'd like to illustrate too)
I'm currently busy with a commercial project (that happened becuase of JKHA actually!) but once I'm finished with that, JKHA CGs will be added!!
i like men
I LOVE THEMMM
Thank you! ♥
I LOVE IT THEYRE SO SILLY AND CUTE
I'm glad you enjoyed!! ♥
THIS GAME IS SO CUTEE UGHHHHH (listening to moody music while playing this hurts my single ass)
Thank you for playing!!
it's a really pretty cute game♥♥♥
Thank 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!!
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 ;-)

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!!
