I liked this game a lot! The character design is fun and the design of the interface is awesome! I struggled a good bit with the controls, my arrow keys didnt work for the game at first and I wish i could have used my mouse, but otherwise it was really fun! Id like to play more
Really great game! It turned out so well. The humorous tone was really successful and felt consistent and in-character throughout. I felt incentivized to see if I could ever get Rina to take me on as a partner. Maybe one day! The way you integrated Ink to display avatars and the name cards was really well-done. The game has a great look to it.
Two small areas of improvement:
Move the instructions out of the controls menu. They are not immediately obvious and no one ever visits a Controls page when starting a new game.
Another option would be to make the buttons clickable with the mouse. I omitted something from the code demoed in class, so reach out and remind me to show you/post the fix if you want to go this route.
Okay... one extra one. Have the opening dialogue box open automatically. Let me know if you need assistance.
Great job!
I enjoyed the flow of the story. Getting to speak to your dream wrestler and having the chance to become her partner. I found no issue on my part kind a wish it was a bit longer or if you succeed in becoming her partner to have a match in the ring.
The Visuals are AMAZING!!! I really feel Like I understood Rina as a character The visual noel style is extremely well executed but I had some UI issues but nothing that other people haven't already said.
really enjoyed the humor and how the conversation flowed, the UI was a little big when it came to the name aspect. i ended up with the ending where rina does not choose me sadly and actually wanted to play more
Visuals are great, good job on that! I liked the humor in the dialogue and the interactions between myself and Rina. Her characterization is well communicated. I believe I ended up with the ending where we didn't become tag partners, but I still felt satisfied with my experience.
overall, this was pretty solid and you did well on characterization but like, other people, I had some issues with the UI.. The font type and point made it a bit straining to read especially without full screen mode and I think the game would have benefitted from utilizing either mouse or keyboard input as the switching made it a bit clunky.
This seems cool but unfortunately, I'm having some issues with the UI and I can't pick anything other than the bottom choice. If there is any way to fix it please let me know
I really enjoyed the banter between Rina and the player character, it really displayed the personality of both and kept me engaged throughout. I had to try a few times to get the good ending but every time I failed I felt more incentivized to play the game again. Nice dating sim!
Overall, I really like this game; it has cool character designs and dialogue. The game will end if you express that you don't care about the first two options. While playing, I ran into some issues where my mouse wouldn't show up in the game, making it slightly difficult to click and confirm options/enter my name.
I really enjoyed this game! The visuals are aesthetically appealing, the dialogue is fun, and the plot was engaging for me! I had some difficulty with the options, but mostly because I don't have any wrestling knowledge/had difficulty choosing what I think she'd like. Either way, I really enjoyed the game and had fun playing! Unfortunately did not get chosen :( my worst fumble yet.
The game's aesthetic is very classic visual novel, but executed very well being completely made with unity! I found myself invested in both Rina 's and my own character and wanted to reach the best ending I could. There are a few mechanical issues with the highlight color of some button choices appearing even though I wasn't hovering, and some moments where using the mouse is clunky, but it doesn't distract from the narrative at all. Short, sweet, and absolutely wonderful!
This is a fun premise and the visuals are super cool. The first ending I got was rejection, but I kept trying and eventually got the good end, which required guessing on the choices since I don't have a lot of knowledge about wrestling. The narrative works clearly and the player character has a lot of personality, but mechanically the name entering was difficult since you have to click with the mouse. Other than that minor thing, an enjoyable game overall!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :D
