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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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
LOVED THE UI and even when the time with Zev are short, i somehow already want to see more of him. One ending is sweet and cute the other is bittersweet with angst. I thoroughly enjoyed my short time here. Thanks for making this <33
Oh my gooooood, this is SO good!!!! The art is AMAZING, the UI is really neat and fitting, and I LOVED the story so much!!! I'm a big sucker for rivals to lovers trope so this was a treat <3 <3 <3
I'm looking forward to more of your projects, I loved Curio Compendium too!!
It's a short story but i've already feel so sad about it and Zev. (ㄒ- ㄒ) Every expression is vivid enough to touch me. Hope them can always get the good end
That one ending, hehe. I also like the whole point of the setting and story in addition to this friends(or acquaintances) to enemies to- 's trope. When I thought of it again, the story is quite long in my feeling, we got the backstory and they got to sort out feelings. You made good use of those under 1k words, good job! (Also there are so many expressions of Zev, I love that.)
Really creative GUI, looks neat as well as the character, the story was surprisingly good for a less than 1K words game, I actually got invested in this rivalry/friendship/romance, if you close your eyes a little bit you may as well be watching an episode of X mecha anime. Zev definitely deserved better!
In space, no one can hear you fall in love with your rival...
The game looks great, and I'll admit I loved the ending I labeled "power of love" in my mind, haha! But overall, the rivalry was interesting in both routes! Also, the GUI and the art were very polished too, and great to look at! Congrats!!
Yeah but what if we spent years fighting and one-upping each other, constantly rivaling each other until we were forced to fight a war in mech suits. Soon enough, we find ourselves in space, thousands of miles away from the Earth's surface as one of us is mortally injured... the winner of our battle calls the other, and we chat about years past as we both float away into the starry abyss, together.... jk jk, unless... 😳?
This low-key made me so Flippin sad and empty Idk why. It's like unrequited love :( AHHH WHYYY MUST IT BE THIS WAY I just feel so bad for Zev and the mc so much. I'm no writer but I'd say Zev is a well written character for a game something like this. Zev as a character feels like a person you can understandably empathize with. But like the people he killed- they didn't deserve it, ...probably. He has flaws which makes him feel real or like a person.
The artist of my game told me about the artwork for this one and how impressive it was, so I just had to try it out myself. Not disappointed! :) Definitely one of the best-looking stories this year. And mecha, too? Sign me up! <3

I love the characters, love this game 100/10
I can't believe how cute Zev was ngl- I love the art and so every time his face would have a bit of color in it was cute

Whenever I get to dialogue options I get an error msg, but I can still click and choose whatever I want.

This was really well made. I found it quite surprising how well you could tell a story in less than 10 minutes. Great job.
