Significant Other(s) by vilix64
How long can you lead this life until someone finds out? How long can you delay the inevitable? Navigate all your partners through the city using crossroad directions and satisfy their needs. Beware! No two partners of the same color can meet, otherwise you're in big trouble.


The soundtrack & art was made for this game. The city tileset, other tiles 1, other tiles 2 and font were reused.
Note: This game is not meant to be a poly* lifestyle criticism.

Anyways...this was a fun concept and executed very well! I especially loved the sound design. It all felt very fitting and polished. Good game!
I like the idea of directing folks about the map, but maybe start with a small level and start unblocking things as time goes on?
I think my only gripe is with the coloured icons for the various partners. I had read the directions to not let two partners of the same colour meet, but had assumed that meant their overall colour scheme - like what colour shirt they were wearing. It did quickly become apparent, but I felt it had potential for confusion.
Lots of art went into the map good work!
Didn't realize they had health bars till it was too late haha
In all honesty - amazing concept! It is that type of creativity I love about Ludum Dare submissions. I hope you can expand that concept, let me play as a real Tinder Swindler!
I love the pixel art, really polished looks and the music to accompany it.
From reading the instructions I thought two people cannot go on the same square or to the same location at the same time but it seems I was wrong. Did you not have time to implement this?
I have to say I did not play too long, I like the idea and the controls. The game just does not keep me too long, but that is not even too important. I am very impressed by what you got done in this short time frame!
I love how you introduce the story, really nice presentation with the messages and the sounds, impressive! Also great that you keep the instructions short, the game is extremely easy to pick up, perfect for a game jam!
Great work, keep it up! :-)
The only problem I found is that sometimes you have to zoom out and it is very difficult to see the color of the partner although the place can be seen in the information below (I would add that information too).
