That is, naturally, achieved by fondling the tits of your partner, in hopes that her moans of pleasure drive the bad thoughts away. Some of the problems will be harder to drive away than the others.\r\n\r\nDPAD or ABXY (or the playstation equivavelent...) selects the lane, right stick fondles right breast, left stick fondles left breast. The rest shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Clicking the sticks does something very useful.\r\n\r\nOne good ending and an unique bad(?) ending for each of the real life problems.\r\n\r\nDidn't have the time, skill nor the will to make music or sfx worthy of this. Just pick some depressing song you like. For example: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Tr0otuiQuU. You probably know where to look for those moan sfxs.\r\n\r\nIf you don't know what to do with the .love file, visit: https:\/\/love2d.org\/.\r\n\r\nLeave a comment even if you don't have anything to say, that way I'll be able to play your game in return :).\r\n\r\nEdit: If your gamepad doesn't work the first time try restarting and complain after that :P. Exact gamepad model might be useful information in tracking the problem down.\r\n\r\nEdit2: I think I know what the problem is, but sadly won't be fixing it for this entry. You can still leave a comment if you want me to play your game though :).","title":"99 problems (and a bitch is one)"}
