this game is so funny. It's like the opposite of a dating sim where you're skateboarding and battling your thirsty exes. Talking to them is a turn based battle. There's a dog that does kick flips and daps u up. You battle your 3rd grade ex boyfriend who wears Italian leather shoes to a diner minutes after getting off a bus home (cause u broke up with your ex and went home without telling anyone you were coming). Everyone is kinda gay. Ive never seen anything like it. You've got mad issues with all your relationships. Your inner monologue is a mean version of your sister. Your aunt bench presses with the bench press. You do flips while washing you hands, cooking, and taking your jacket off. Never seen anything like this and I'm entertained as hell.

I adore the plot and I can't help but be reminded of of Scott Pilgrim (because your exes coordinate, this is not a side scrolling the beat em up). There's also the underlying trying to do better or make amends with your family and sister who all warned you about certain choices you've made which sometimes hit too close to home for me.

I enjoyed the skateboarding in the game and I enjoyed the "combo ender" that lets you do a quick time event to finish out your combo and gives you a bunch of points. I was impressed by how much was interactive with my skateboard as I honestly wasn't expecting so much going into the game. I like that the combo for skateboarding decreases with time if you aren't tricking, every other game with skateboarding I've played you just kinda wipe out and your combo ends (im sure there is one out there thar also does it like the way this game does it, i haven't personally played that tho if true) I enjoy all the timing based mini games but if that's not your thing you can fiddle around in settings to complete them. I got unlockables by completing the ones downtown. I also enjoy the skateboarding game in your aunt's shop I'm hoping to beat the high score on there but I've been focusing on combing skateboarding on the street in the game rather than the video game in the game

Interestingly, I was expecting this to not run very well on the switch as a lot of indie games that release that look cool and run well on every other platforms chug on the switch. As far as I could tell I had no issues.

This game is really fun to me and doesn't seem to be terribly long so I'm taking the stop to smell the flowers approach and I've been having a great time. I've been battling more suitors/cubs than I have to and skateboarding more than what is challenged of me because I find it enjoyable and I keep wanting to show my spouse bits of the game when they are able to watch a minute or two. The family stuff hit close to home for me and the messy queer relationships remind me of my friends. If these don't enjoy these themes narratively you probably won't enjoy this game. But it's so goofy you still might enjoy clips of animations from the game.
