I am so sad. I'm never recovering. 10/10.

how to fall in love again and again with Zev and getting your heart destroyed every time.

(+3)

the angst,, THE ANGST !!! this was soooo good despite being short. so well done, and it got me tearing right at the end T T !!!

it sure is painful to know that Zev, and the mc had feelings for each other, but hid it because of their rivalry,, that hurts my heart in SUCH a good way </3

the emotions, the expressions, the dialogue, everything was so on point ! wish to see a longer, and deeper story about Zev and us, that'd be such an amazing prequel :0 !

amazing job, i would love to see more of your works, dear dev !! <3 much love to you !

These must've been horrendous war crimes.

short and adorable as hell im bawling

short, sweet and heart breaking you really made a jem here with Zev it all just made me tear up,

(+1)

soooo....did anybody else cry? just me? 

(+1)

I love this so much kdjoawjd 🥲

(+4)

the way you managed to make me fall in love with this edgy loser in no more than 10 minutes is genuinely fucking amazing. with less than a 1000 words, one sprite but multiple expressive faces, it told so much... genuinely wonderful.

(+1)

Such a short game but still amazing nonetheless!!! I loved it so much. I especially liked the small detail where we see earth getting closer or farther depending on the choice made. Thank you for this wonderful game!

(+1)

I would love to see more of these two!

(+2)

how did you manage to make me fall in love with this story when i only know the characters for 5 minutes ?????? this is so amazing i love this game

(+1)

Oh my god. Oh my god. I need more of them--

HOW?? HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO MAKE ME WEEP FOR ZEV?? I HAVE ONLY KNOWN THIS MAN IN A MATTER OR MINUTES BUT I WOULD LEAP OVER TO HIS MECH AND HOLD HIM--

I love how you were able to mix in their backstory in just a few minutes, how Zev expressed both fondness and hate towards MC and how both of them, despite being on opposite ends, still respect and yearn each other (god, those rival animes are flashing back).

When I got the endings of Zev dying alone, it felt like a piece of me was gonna shatter. Even if MC had to return without Zev I know without a doubt in my soul that a piece of them broke apart when Zev died and they had to abandon him. SO WHEN I GOT THE ENDING WHEN MC DEFIED WHAT ZEV THOUGHT OF AND RUSHED AFTER ZEV MY HEART CRIED IN HAPPINESS!

That little epilogue!??!?! That brief moment of domestic dynamic between the two?! My dear developer I nearly cried in that moment. I am broken. I am sobbing. The sight of Zev blushing and crying-- Baby, I would gladly become a traitor so long as you're not alone.  

It's just-- So well done for the time limit, word limit, limited assets, and so on. Absolutely amazing work, I adore it!

(+1)

NOOOOOOOOO ZEVVVVVV!!!! (really good yet short game)

(+2)

Gotta say, I really did love this short little blurb of a game. I'm also a fan of rivalmances, and I just wanted to hug our boy so bad in that moment. Very sweet. Agonizingly short. <3

my favorite game eva

I loved it! 

esta muy bien,  pero tener que traducir todo a español cansa, ¿se podría poner una traducción automática? 

I loved this! It'd be so cool if it had a more deep/longer version<3 

This was really good! I love rivals-to-lovers, so this was an excellent treat even with the bad ending in the mix. Also! The UI was so amazingly integrated! Absolutely amazing work <3

I had to fight my phone to hell and back trying to get the game to load and start up, and I'm really glad I did! The ambience is perfect, the character design is gorgeous, and the situation and dialogue made me tear up. I never have the heart to play out angsty "bad" routes so i can't give any feedback on that, but the "good" route is just so sweet and I'm so relieved everything ended up good for them (Trying my hardest to avoid using spoilery language here lol).  I think my favorite part was when Zev finally realized that we weren't about to give up on him. Just "Oh. wow. You're serious? You're actually NOT gonna finish this, and are instead going to risk your life saving mine??" I just love that trope and you executed it wonderfully.

 Overall I loved it and I'll  be on the look out for any future projects you take on!

(+1)

(+1)

(+1)

adoro amo y todo ;v; obra maestra

(+4)

bro the artstyle is a MASTERPIECE

(+5)

dude the atmosphere in this is UNREAL im kind of obsessed???? the art and ambiance of the audio and everything its just so.... bleak. and so fitting for what we're being given. its impressive that you managed to sew so much into something not even 1000 words long

also that UI design is seriously genius jsyk
