Latest Update 11/3/14: Minor bug fixes and new art assets

Latest Update 12/2/14: VERSION 2.0 RELEASED! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! New engine, HD graphics and streamlined script!

FAQ:
What devices can I play this game on?
Currently it runs on Android 4.0+, so most phones should be able to handle it. Hopefully, I'll be able to port it to other platforms soon enough.

Is this game paid or free?
Totally free, because I hope you play it and love it so much you want to support me. There's a supporter version which is identical to the free version, except there are some easter eggs inside. It's an affordable $1.90.

The FREE game is basically the full game, but with nagging text: FREE Image

Why do they talk funny? Is English not your first language?
As the game is set in Singapore, the characters speak in the local colloquial English, also known affectionately (and derisively) as "Singlish".

It doesn't work. It sucks.

"What book is Ashlyn reading?"

b) Ten Year Series

Being a J2 myself, I just collapsed on the floor gasping.
I just bought an economics ten year series today

"Who knew that getting into the best and most prestigious Junior College in Singapore would be the easy part? "
I can testify that this is not the easy part, but yes it gets worse from there

Hehe that was the effect I was hoping for. Thanks for your support Kirroha! If you've got an Android phone, please help me test out the Demo version (it's free! wait for the update- v1.0.3- the current alpha version on google play has fatal bugs).

Ugh I've accumulated a few one-star reviews because my device compatibility settings weren't right. I've adjusted them and hopefully the device compatibility improves. Would really help if I had more devices to test on though.

YUP Kiya I'm refering to the Squid! Squid Games!

Lemme know if you've tried the game and it works for you.

Thanks guys!!

xoxo

If my eyes aren't failing me right now, the paid app is currently listed at $78.38 (USD), which is ridiculously overpriced. On a note, 100 PHP is about 2.31 USD.

Also, the demo may get more plays if you packaged it for the PC too.

Oh my gosh, the price is $78.38 .... o-o.
Is this a mistake or something? To be blunt (sorry), I don't think a lot of people would buy an app for $78.38!
I think you should maybe lower the price, since it's not really affordable for a lot of people... ^^.

I will, however, try out the demo on my tablet or my sister's android!

Try it please! I changed the price to make it ridiculously overpriced because I wanted people to hold off purchasing until the bugs are fixed.

Would appreciate any feedback

Need to figure out how to reply to reviews on Google Play...

I'm playing it right now and so far, here are my comments: (to be put in spoiler tags)
- Art is okay. :) There's something about the art that makes it different from the usual sprites here, but maybe it's because it's on Android? Haha. I think it's pretty good though.
- The story started out a little too confusing. Like, we weren't given enough background about what's happening, and the characters are still pretty much unknown to us. Of course, I understand that's it's just a "prologue" of some sorts, but still. ^^ And some of the choices are... out of the ordinary. :D
Also, whenever I tap the screen the dialogue moves two screens forward. Two. It's not really a problem for me because I can still catch up with the words since I'm kinda used to reading fast, but I think it would be better if that was fixed. (If it's a bug.)
Anyway, I like the school itself, and how it's so advanced in terms of technology. Hahaha. =) I think it's really cool. How awesome is that?! Schools here in my country aren't like that. Haha.

Umm, after the "toilets have aircon" dialogue though, it suddenly blicked, showing a turtle and Raechelle's speech. And then while Zan was talking the screen blinked again. It's still blinking while I'm writing this. :(
UPDATE:
I managed to progress through the dialogue. The characters just introduced themselves. Haha! It's now "one week later". (I met Chen) But I like Zan. XD He's so funny. But I like David too, for his "cool" attitude. Wheeee.
But the screen still blinks every now and then. Everything turns black except for the dialogue box, and the sprites appear and re-appear. Is that a bug...? :( I'd really like to continue this game.
