Mixed Signals is a fast-paced action/arcade game with rhythm aspects where you date as many people as you can by reading their signals & matching their emotions.

Play it with music - the in-game music dynamically remixes itself to the state of the game (if they like you/dislike you, etc)!

Note: In the Safari browser, the music only starts playing when the game is started, after the first person.

Features

  • Randomly generated characters from a set of face shapes, faces, bodies, hairstyles, clothings
  • Rare special characters modeled after ourselves and characters from our previous jam games (like granny!)
  • Dynamic music that is remixed on-the-fly from stems and adjusts to the gameplay (faster bpm versions as you get further in the game, different tracks when the characters like/dislike you, sound effects mixed into the music track)
  • Beat-synced animations - everything moves to the groove of the music track
  • Difficulty curve: As you complete more people, the game speeds up and gets progressively harder

Introduction

It's speed dating time! Read your date's signals at the bar.

Press the matching arrow keys to mirror their emotion.

Correct matches fill the rizz meter on the right. Full meter = they fall for you!

Too slow or too many misses = they leave. Game over.

Make as many people fall for you as possible. Remember: bigger emotions = better

Beware: Later in the night, you'll meet couples.
If they have different emotions, press multiple arrow keys at the same time to charm them both!

I am a fan of a good rhythm/reaction game and this is right up my alley!

I love the artwork, especially how cute the characters look and the music matches the style very well! I also like how the hard mode is based on the characters' expression, it gives a nice challenge and change of pace. 

Great game!

Thanks for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed our game :)

Out of curiosity: Did you find it via itch.io or the Ludum Dare game jam?
