Such a sweet game with great use of the jam limitations to its advantage! I loved how natural and personalised the dialogue felt and was ooh-ing and aah-ing at the little UI and scripting animations throughout! I hope they did manage to get more than McDonalds that night 💖
Ohhhhhhhh thank you very much!! 😭💕 I'm glad you enjoyed it?? Thanks so much for playing and taking the time to write up this comment!! Figuring out the scripting stuff was fun and also a major headache, especially when I was battling with issues yesterday LOL But I enjoy how the final thing turned out. LOL I HOPE THEY DID TOO, GODDDDD.
AHHH i just got the work ending and OH EM GEE >///< honestly too adorable the both of them!! also when the main title screen changed i SQUEALED LOL such a good detail (spoiler: main title change after getting the best ending hehe)
OHHHHH THANK YOOOOOOOU!! 💕 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And LADKJFLKDSFJA I'M GLAD YOU LIKED THE TITLE PIC CHANGE HEHEH. I wanted to at least do something small to update it after getting the "good" ending as a litol treat lol.
Thank you so much for playing and leaving your thoughts!! It means so much 🥺💕
This is absolutely precious! It was a very creative way to use the confines of the Jam, and even in such a short VN the characters and their developing relationship is very well defined.
AHHHHHHHH THANK YOOOOOOOU 😭💕I'm so happy??? I'm really glad you enjoyed it -- especially as I was quite nervous about the game in general and how people might expect more lkadjsafd I've never made something this short before I will admit LOL I had a ton of fun with their chars in the different format though, so I'm glad they could still get across in this little bite-sized story.
Thank you so much for playing ahhhh it really means so much!! 💕
This was so lovely, and it felt like something right out of life. Means a lot to me as a fellow ace, especially when Iggy has the courage to open up more in the end, because he feels that Genzou will respect his boundaries, even if he's still in the process of figuring them out himself. The illustrated scene in the end really pulled it together and made my heart so soft TuT I love the way you bring these guys to life!
Oh, my gosh, thank you so much???? This is incredibly sweet! And I'm really happy you could connect with it -- Iggy has a whole bunch of myself in him (from so many different aspects lsakdjfaslkd) so it means so much to me that others can also relate to him a bit or at least feel for him in some of his struggles 🥺💦
I'm so happy that you enjoyed the chars and this little story. Thank you so much for playing and for writing up your thoughts, it really squished my heart reading them!! 😭💕
OMG THIS IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE, I CAN'T EVEN SDKJGBSDKJGB!!!! I just love how, even without the colors assigned to them, you can still tell who's talking. They're both so real, I definitely feel close to Iggy in the sense of being afraid of getting hurt so, then, pushing the potential crush away before anything "starts" (not to mention his struggles with keeping in contact). And I feel close to Genzou in his awkwardness of trying to be funny and trying to make the person he cares about like him. Also, gosh, the way the screen would say SHIT SHIT SHIT every time Genzou felt he screwed up was so damn funny xD
It's really sweet how you get the good ending by being patient and loving Iggy as he is T__T it's so sweet AAAAHHH!!
I love this so much, definitely going to my favorites!! <3 <3 <3
PS: Genzou's birthday is one day after mine, omg!!!
KDJFALSKDJFALSKDFJA THANK YOU OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'm so so glad you liked it!!!! I was really worried people would come away feeling like it wasn't enough -- AND TRUE, I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE DONE A LOT MORE???? -- but then it wouldn't have met the constraints of the jam lakdjfak God though I felt like I could have so much fun writing more back-and-forth interactions between them, it was very enjoyable 🤭💕 I'm glad you thought their personalities could shine through despite the limited interface hehe.
"not to mention his struggles with keeping in contact" --> LMAO GOD FELTTTTTTTT. I'm literally so so bad with this and I have a constant guilty feeling just hanging over my head and yet it doesn't help aldkjfads I think a lot of that has filtered its way into Iggy in general, both here and in the main game 💦
"the way the screen would say SHIT SHIT SHIT every time Genzou felt he screwed up was so damn funny" --> HAHAHAHAH THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IT FELT TOO REAL FOR HIM HE TRIES SO HARD BUT HE STRUGGLES LKAJDLFAKSD I am glad it could get a laugh 🤣💕
"It's really sweet how you get the good ending by being patient and loving Iggy as he is" --> lkjdalfkdsfa this is exactly what I hoped people would feel ahhhhhhh this makes me wanna cry 😭
Thank you so so much aHhhhhahhfhadf I'm really really happy you liked it!! I'm glad it could be something sweet 💕 This comment made me smile so much!!
My honest reation when I saw that you posted a new game : OMG OMG OMG NEW CARROT GAME THIS CAN ONLY BE GOOD AHHHHHHHHH- Also the title is funny funny OMG CAN ONLY BE BETTER
AND HELL YES IT WAS
Did the "bad" ending first because you know "save the best for last" BUT MAKING THESE CHOICES HURT DAMN
ESPECIALLY WHEN IGGY IS LIKE "is it weird that I have never dated anyone" AND I DON'T PICK THE "nah just surprising" answer AND THEN HE FEELS BAD ABOUT IT AND SAYS HE "knows it's weird" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO IGGY PLEASE NO DON'T SAY THAT
But hey after that I did the "good" ending AND IT WAS WONDERFUL
Genzou helping Iggy with his anxiety OMG MY HEART- MY HEART IS MELTING- THE FLUFF- I LOVE THEMMMMMMMMMMMM AHHHHHHH
HEHEHE I TEXTED A LITTLE "<3" TO IGGY HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I DON'T CARE THAT THERE WAS "SHIT" WRITTEN ALL OVER THE SCREEN GENZOU YOU NEEDED THAT PUSH OKAY
And then you can ask him to dinner AHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM
Very cute short game ! It was super nice to play it ! Also the fluff is healing my heart from what's actually going on in the main story hahahahaha... haha... ha...
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY ALKDJFALSDKJFASDLKFJADL
I was so nervous about this little game and that it would be too short and not good enough. So I'm really happy that you like it 😭💕 It was fun working within the constraints of the jam to make something short! I'm not used to making short stuff LOL
The "bad" ending hurts my heart GUHHH. Especially some of the choices and how bad Iggy feels after some of them alkdjlakd
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE THE FLUFF I NEEDED IT FOR MY POOR DESSICATED ANXIOUS HEART. S-sometimes even I need a break from the horrors of the main game,,, 🥺💦 Especially as the last few weeks have been very stressful for me, so this was a nice little heart-happy distraction to keep me occupied and focused.
"I DON'T CARE THAT THERE WAS "SHIT" WRITTEN ALL OVER THE SCREEN" --> ALKDJFLAKSDFA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT LITTLE MECHANISM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN THE GAME it felt so apt LOL
"Also the fluff is healing my heart from what's actually going on in the main story" --> I-indeed,,, 😭💦
GUHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN, THIS COMMENT FILLED MY HEART WITH SUCH JOY. I'm really really happy you enjoyed it!! Thank you for taking the time to play and write up your thoughts ahhhHHHHH I shall cry again maybe 💕
THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOU. This is too sweet! Thanks so much for playing and for these lovely words AHHH. They make me very happy 💕
I enjoy their dynamic so much alkdjfalkds S-sometimes... I just need something very sweet and self-indulgent......... a blessing unto my heart, as it were...
And hhhh thank you. I had a lot of fun playing with the GUI and trying to make it fun and cute (and I finally am starting to learn even more about how to actually work with the dang thing LOL with every project... I become more Knowledged).
Thank you so so much! It really means a lot, and I'm glad you liked it!! 🥰
I know you worked hard on the GUI and it really shows: it looks very good!
I also appreciated a lot how the game tackles anxiety and the fear of relationships ace people have. I also really enjoyed the variants where Genzou would be a great friend to Iggy by giving him space!
The final CG was also adorable, and the scene was very cute (and quite funny, haha)!!!
You did a great job, especially for a game created in a week only! I'm impressed!!!!
The GUI did give me a lot of grief. Even yesterday I was still fixing a bunch of issues that arose that I didn't even realize would since I had only played it myself ALKDJFAD there's just a Lot going on even if it doesn't always look like it 💦
And thank you for the kind words!! I wish I could have dived into more, but I wanted to keep somewhat of a balance between humor and cuteness with the deeper stuff and then still be able to round everything out at the end WHICH IS HARD WITH ONLY 1000 WORDS LKADJFLAKSD But I'm glad if people can still relate to parts of it even in such a short little story.
HHHHHH THANK YOU. I love how the final scene turned out. Just a cute little final scene to bring everything to a close (AND WARM MY POOR ANXIOUS HEART) 😭💕
Thank you so much!! Not only for playing but for writing up your thoughts -- I'm really really nervous about this game since it's so short and I've never made anything like this before, so I'm really happy to hear that you like it! 💕
Iggy is indeed a handful at times LMAO Y-you need to be gentle and caring with him 😭💦
I'm glad you liked the good ending though!!! I wanted it to just be something cute and sweet to make me happy, particularly as it's been really stressful for me lately so I wanted something a bit self-indulgent lakdjfasd
Oh, gosh! That would indeed be quite fun and cute 🤭💕
There is another O2A2 jam later this year (or there should be at least), though I'm not sure if I'll do another texting game. Perhaps something else along a different vein aldkjfalkds These tiny jams are a fun way to experiment with little bite-sized stories and mechanics I normally wouldn't be able to, so it's pretty fun!

I love at the fact that whenever you say something wrong the word shit goes ALL over the screen.
HAHAHAHAHAHA I ENJOY THAT PART SO MUCH I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT
Genzou freaking out so much alsdkjfalskdfa the poor guy... 😭💕
That was so sweet and funny, I kept smiling and snickering throughout. Oblivious Iggy is oblivious and Gen's humor never fails to entertain 🤭
Loved the GUI aesthetic and the good ending art was so pretty! (Iggy's smiling face is 💕)
Also, I almost missed the subtle change in the main menu, but it's adorable! Good for them!!!

Third comment and review:
It was hard for me to get the good ending because Iggy is a pain in the ass lol, BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT (^///^)
I love the game<3
Iggy is indeed a handful at times LMAO Y-you need to be gentle and caring with him 😭💦
I'm glad you liked the good ending though!!! I wanted it to just be something cute and sweet to make me happy, particularly as it's been really stressful for me lately so I wanted something a bit self-indulgent lakdjfasd
Thank you very much 🥰💕
Now, we can text with iggs. I wonder whether there will be games to text to other characters as well. Pretty please~
I totally agree<3
Oh, gosh! That would indeed be quite fun and cute 🤭💕
There is another O2A2 jam later this year (or there should be at least), though I'm not sure if I'll do another texting game.

Texting Orlam game plz........
Yes, exactly! Thank you for saying that out loud.
FIRST!
