I played it and I got ALL the stickers and I MADE OUT with the assassin-
This was such a fun little VN!! I am not qualified in the slightest to say things about it in that regard, because I've played approximately two before in my whole life, but it was short and sweet and I liked the characters a lot- actually LP might as well have been tailor made for me, specifically, by being a somewhat masc-looking person with long hair (and going off about their fun little hi kitty interest... like uhmmm hiii omg *tucks my hair behind my ear* tell me moreee nb killer hehe)
For whatever this is worth, the order of endings I got was gettin' drugged, starting a band, getting a promotion, skipping town, getting fired, and finally making Algorithm witness gay debauchery. Dunno thought that might be interesting to share! Anyways great stuff hot assassin with claws hhhhhh h
THANK YOUUU for giving it a chance even if you dont normally play VNs! honestly it means even more to us that it could be an enjoyable experience despite it not being a medium you usually consume!
SO happy to hear you enjoyed LP!!! they're our little meow meow and we love them so much. super interesting to see the order in which you got all the endings, thanks for including that! we were afraid the "true" ending would have been too easy to get first try, we hoped for a playthrough similar to the one you described! thanks again for leaving feedback especially with this level of detail <3
I loved this smm!! Loved every single character in this!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY SEEING THIS MADE THE BOTH OF US!!! Your Laser looks SO GOOD, we love how you did the eyes and also, we're really impressed with how you stylized the outfit as well - especially their shoulder pads! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!!
<333 HELL YEAHHH!!!!! so glad i could bring a lil joy to ur guys’a day!! ehehe i’m so glad u both liked it though!!!! >:DD ehehe
Had a great time, thank you for sharing this! I really enjoyed Laser Pointer, but gosh I had a time getting to the true ending TT_TT It was so worth it, tho.
I also really enjoyed Beatrice's voice, it was a delight reading all her lines. Her capriciousness won me over immediately, I loved it.
Thank you so much!!! We're happy you enjoyed the true ending, we hope you still had fun through your replays!
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed Beatrice, she's the woman of our dreams honestly. Thank you again!!
i can not do this anymore. I LOVE THE GAME ITS SO FUN!!! AND IM QUITE LITERALLY INFATUATED WITH LASERPOINTER (dont really appreciate algorithm takin photos when blud is havin a mental breakdown </3) but i. im going to cry. i might just be dull but i just can NOT get that last sticker?? (bottom right, 2 hearts)
ASIDE FROM THAT BUMP THAT MAKES ME TEAR UP!!! AMAZING! 10/10!!!! SO SO COOL! AWSOME! THE ART IS SO EDIBLE AND SCRUMBCHY? honestly love laser pointers gloves too.
(please send help bro is so silly i cant anymore)
THANK YOU so much you have no idea how happy it makes us to hear you like our blorbos!!!!
Oooooh the sticker you're missing is for the "true" ending! I'll give you a hint - look for positive reactions from Laser in the many dialogue choices you're given while you're at the bar, and try to get as many as you can right. Let us know if you find it ;)
YESSIR! yeah no the stickers r litearlly so ADORABLE tho omg. okay im gonna like,,, go try that now !!! aha many thanks for the hint !!! time to retry and play like 20 more times again >:))) LMAO
much love tho its so much fun!! aaa!!
Thank youuuuuuu! Good luck! You can use your mouse wheel to quickly go back if a choice doesn't have the expected outcome :)
update: i DID IT!!! AND OH MY GOD THE ART AT THE END IS SO SO SO AWSOME??? OH MY GOD!?!?!? I LOVE IT?? i cant with the comments tho they r so goofy <33
little evil lovebirds hehehe (and the third wheel)
absolutley amazing. 10/10 would play again!!! god the art is so smooth though i swear it probably tastes like,,, either that multi flavour icecream or sherbert icecream. just yummy and smooth . so good.
hgsdklhgsdjghsd I swear this has to be one of the sweetest comments I ever got on my art!! Thank you for playing it so thoroughly and getting all the stickers. We're both so happy you had fun, especially with that one ending <3

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed!
ahh i cant seem to find the last 2 stickers that both have hearts on them :'[ (top left and bottom right)
nevermind just had to wait lol
ah well now i cant seem to find the top left ending 😩
Hi! We hope you enjoyed our game :) And for the ending you're missing, well... you might have a little too much good chemistry with Laser ;)
ahh thank you do much!!
This was such a fun game! Laserpoint was my absolute favorite character. The art in this!!! So pretty, I loved everyone's sprite so much! I wish we had seen more of Algorithm but that's simply because everyone was written so well and I got more curious about them after all the endings! All in all, a great game 10/10 recommend!
Oh my, thank you so much for leaving feedback!!! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed our little game and its characters. Hopefully one day we get to expand the universe they're in :)
