Very nice little game. Although I must admit the bad side of me tried to go further away from my date just to see if I could :P Nice message at the end.

PSA: The game ends when you see the credits :) I somehow got stuck on the first (beach?) scene for a minute, probably because I needed to walk into it

I liked the graphics and music a lot. The theme was very cute and fun. The downside I would have to say is I had a hard time figuring out what buttons to press or actions to take to continue.

I really liked this game! The graphics were really cute and the music fit nicely! I thought the controls were nice, and they worked well. Had trouble considering the theme, though. As none of this really reminded me of any kind of weapon...

Good to hear, but please remember the cones are gender-neutral. There is no "fem snow cone" :)

Thanks for all the encouraging comments everyone! Please check back for the post compo version!

Really sweet game, one thing that totally ruined the mood was when moving closer while on the "ferriswheel"? Blue ice-cream's arm broke and spazzed all over the screen to which I bust out laughing. Although it ruined the mood, I am rating your humor higher XD Great game!

Hngh. Came for the cuteness and cuteness was what I got. Really nice mood and even if there wasn't much interaction it was handled quite fittingly. The character customization at the beginning was neat, too bad it didn't carry over into the rest of the game.

You could've mentioned that the Web link was actually Unity stuff so I could've switched to Chrome straight away. A windows distribution would've been even better for me personally.

All in all a really nice experience, even if the gameplay part is a bit on the light side. You even have the same take on the theme as I did (well, not that much cuteness in my game), so of course that's a plus :).

This is lovely! The art style is adorable and the soundtrack is beautiful! :3

Nice work with this entry, really! I really want to see what you're going to put in the post-compo version, or in a full version of this game!
