Counting Cuties!
This game was made in 48 hours for the September Saskatoon Gamejam.
Winner of Best Beginner Game category and honourably mentioned in Best Theme category!
You just failed your Math midterm and are now required to attend mandatory study sessions. But you have some rather unique study mates...
There are six unique endings and over 2500 words to read over of varying quality.
And four original soundtracks made by our composer Noah.
If you are unable to complete the mini-game for whatever reason (oh jesus I made it too difficult) you can press the down arrow to skip it.
The game may not load on slower connections, refresh a few times if you are having trouble or download the executable.

I really enjoyed this one, and not just because I have a soft spot for visual novels and Ren'Py. The NPCs are unique and cute with hidden depths, their designs very nicely realized by the original art. I don't know if you made the equations easier after the Jam, but I didn't have any trouble with the minigame when I came back for subsequent plays (now I think the issue might more be that the instructions are written in a counter-intuitive order and are difficult to understand without seeing the interface). I wish there was a touch more complexity to the outcomes but the limited branching makes a lot of sense for a Jam game. I could still easily see myself coming back to this, even years from now, to play through all the endings again! Excellent work!
The flow of the game is easy to understand which is super critical for a jam. The visuals are consistent and it's obvious you're very well acquainted with Ren Py. Great work and well deserving of the awards!
