Blue...I feel awful for all of them, but Blue and Green hurt the most.

I don't know how to hide spoilers in comments so for anyone reading this, the rest of this comment has major spoilers for the game.

Something that stood out the most while playing this is that no one in the cast, admin or pilot, calls the sexual abuse Green experiences rape or sexual assault. I feel like that really spoke to just how dehumanized the pilots are, since they are "non-people" in the eyes of the Federation and the admins reinforce that systemic violence, and the pilots don't even have the language of consent to apply to themselves. Same for how their genders are not respected by the admins. It's a chilling thing to think about.

Speaking of the Federation and admins, Ramirez was the one that failed the team by neglecting them/dumping all his responsibilities onto Red, or being complicit in Green being abused by knowing it was happening and doing nothing, to do whatever useless crap he was doing. Rather ironic that the one time he actually steps up as a leader, by checking on Blue, gets him killed. I'm glad Red resolved to not be like him, in the end, but whether she'll actually put in the work to be a good leader remains to be seen.

I hope that Green gets some peace though, he deserves all the puzzle games.

Overall, excellent stuff. Sad and infuriating to see the pilots being abused by the system, and hurting each other as a result, but that was the point. I especially loved the moments where their perspectives melded together.

This was a lot of fun! My only critique is that the other spaceships seemed really sensitive during the delivery minigame, and sometimes I would lose a lot of health by just being next to them.

I look forward to more escapades with Fritter and Marmalade, I love their relationship and how they take care of each other.

You’re very welcome!

Wonderfully done! I love the layered visual of “Dream of ___”, the format of “Four Visits”, and the three different approaches to storytelling in “An Island”.

Awesome news! I love the original “Mechanical Relations” a lot, so seeing more of Fritter and Marmalade is very exciting!

You're very welcome!

Thank you for the update, I wish you the very best on whatever you choose to do next. I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed your "firstrain" "lastrain" duology, so thank you for making such delightful short games.

Agreed! This is a phenomenal comic, one of my personal favourites in fact.

Hi there! I’m trying to progress in the uncensored version of the game, but I don’t know what to do next after Fansia removes her bra.

I really like how you made each cup feel different with each font style and how the text progressed, it really helped emphasize that these are different chapters in this guy's life.

You’re welcome! Best of luck to you on your next stories!

I really enjoyed what you set up here! Whether you choose to continue Rora and Gelle's stories, or look into the lives of different characters, I'd be interested in reading more!

This is probably one of my favourite games. The way the narrative was structured, the UI, the ending, it was all so phenomenal. I'm torn between screaming my love of the game from the rooftops (or rather, write about it on my blog), but also respecting the game's themes (and the fact that it's technically a fan game). Either way, you made something truly wonderful, and I wish you the very best on whatever you make next.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm really glad you're in a happy and safe relationship now.

I'm flabbergasted by that "reasoning" for rejecting a game, but unfortunately I can't say I'm surprised. I'm glad you continue to make games.

Excellent presentation, especially for what I assume is your first game! I love how you visually represented each ending, and slowly revealed the love interest. Best of luck to you on any future projects you work on, this was great!

It really sucks that you've had to take your stories down, as I really enjoy your work, though I understand why you've had to do so. I am really glad that you are still writing, and hope your future projects go well (the solarpunk story sounds especially intriguing!) Here's hoping things work out for you, and I wish you the very best!

Excellent stuff! The payoff to the mounting dread was absolutely worth it, and the way you used text and the UI was extremely well done!

I love the original story of Spark and Umbra, so seeing that you had written a new story about them made me so happy! I love how you showcased their domestic life together as a married couple, and how their relationship still changes for the better over time.

Honestly made me tear up in the end. Love the ways you sparingly incorporated sound, it made their presence more effective.

You’re very welcome!

That was powerful, thank you for sharing this game with us.

This really struck a cord with me, and made me tear up. Thank you for creating this lovely game, and showing the complex feelings that come from being treated as monstrous in a world that only accepts certain ways of being.

That was super cute and a creative interpretation of the game jam's themes. Well done!

Really loved the use of public domain images here, and the music accelerating along with the characters' reaching their climax. Good stuff.

That was great, I needed that. What a lovely little game.

I really love how you wrote your leads in this game, you can tell they both have a lot of baggage in the short amount of time we get to interact with them. I also love the concept of the place they went to try and undo their curses.

You’re welcome, I’m glad I was able to help!

Both the downloadable (Windows) and HTML versions of the game don't seem to be working.

I love the various art styles you implemented in this. I hope you're able to make the whole game a reality some day.

You’re welcome, I’m glad I could give some helpful feedback.

I love the cozy vibes and character designs of this demo, but I feel like the customers get impatient really quickly. It's hard for me to remember all the ingredients on the top of my head and make the potion on time, so perhaps you could have them wait a little longer in the full game?

I really enjoyed the demo. The lead characters are fun, the audio design is top-notch, and the various visual flourishes are great (I especially love the scene where Reb's thoughts get overwhelmed by images of Zinnia). I'm looking forward to checking out the full game when it comes out next year!

This was just the right combination of cute, funny, and sexy, I love it! Fritter and Marmalade are such sweethearts, and the minigames were a great way of building up the *ahem* tension. And I agree, we absolutely need more gay robot sex games.

Damn, that was hot and creative, two of my favourite things!

Just as a heads up, this game was flagged as malware by my computer when I initially tried to download it, even though it isn't, so other folks may encounter the same problem too if they attempt to download it.

I really enjoyed reading the first chapter during last year's ShortBox Comics Fair, so seeing that it's being continued makes me extremely happy!  I'm very curious to see how Haelan will continue to adapt to his curse moving forward, and how the prophecy will play out.

I had a lovely time reading this.  It reminded me of the vibes from some of my favourite slow-burn, character focused manga, with your own creative touch added to it.  I was wondering if the use of blue and green was connected to the Japanese word “aoi” (青) being used for both colours, so seeing that confirmed in the bonus material was delightful.  I truly enjoyed the brief glimpse you gave us into Aoi and Eerie’s lives together, this is a graphic novel that I’ll never forget.

I really enjoyed my playthrough of the demo, and the variety of things that I could do!  I did notice one visual bug, where the special image of Kotori getting trapped in webbing was present even after defeating the enemies.  I'm looking forward to seeing what the final game will look like!

Oh, wow, that was powerful!  I don't think this is bad at all, I think this was great and really makes me think about games.  Also, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling creatively motivated recently and that you've experienced shitty workplace environments, I hope you find a much better place for yourself.
