Love the concept and the art. Clever way to introduce the controls as well, and a lot of thought clearly went into the character designs to telegraph each customers weakness. Nice work
I have been trying so hard but I finally managed to male 10 people uncomfortable. It was mostly because I had my mouse already hovering over the areas.
My first game tried on itch io ahah, I think this game is excellent, the ost is very nice and it was a pleasure to tryhard to reach the 10 customers scared (~1hour) :)
Excellent short experience. Really gives off a front page Newgrounds vibe but much more polished and addicting. Made sure I saw (and scared) everyone off before I stopped. The Hunter X Hunter reference was nice.
I kind of wish there was an Easter egg for when you don't scare anyone off. Maybe the 20 second timer doesn't start until you scrae the first person, or you go on a date with them? But making an ending for all 67 people would be a lot. Anyway, great effort, and quite addicting to see all of the characters.
I thought there might be an easter egg if you manage to scare off the owner/bartender/bouncer somehow. it would be pretty cool if you could put them off by staring at them long enough.
ugh this game is a timesuck in the best way. ik it was for the game jam, but bump it to 30 seconds and add a roguelike upgrade system or a storyline (maybe you have a recurring character who's weirdly attracted to your rejection), you could have the boss battles be really beautiful people omg

After some effort, I managed to make 10 in a single round! addictive and fun!
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
Short but not bad at all especially for being made for a gamejam. Trying to get a highscore of most stared at was pretty fun. Made a video on it.
Thanks for playing! That's a great video!

Amazing pixel art and amazing game! lot of fun!

Just keep an eye out for future updates! Some surprises incoming :^)
This is so fun omg
Can't understand game do I stare at the one I want to date?
I thought the same, what if i DON'T wanna scare?
Need feed back from Dev
Yup, i mean, the game's name is DON'T stare, so i got to have this option.
You shall see...
Ok...? What was that?!
you have to find people's insecurities and stare at them to make them leave, scare as many of them off as possible in 20 seconds
where is Dating aspect of game?
your goal in the game is to make as many dates uncomfortable by staring at their insecurity before the 20 sec timer is up
how do i get a date in game?
you don't. Your goal is to scare off all the dates
ok.

The pixel art is so good! I tried not staring and I still got kicked out...
HUNTER HUNTER REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?! HELL YEAH
This game is so cute! I love all of the character designs!! Will definitely be following to see what else you have up your sleeves!!
I wish i could actually date some of the characters cuz some are super fine thoo!! ;)
got to 10!!! :D not sure how many more are realistically possible with a random seed but i would like to be proven wrong
8 but was stuck at 6 7 for a while
agreed and i was SO pissed when I get 67
My highscore was 8 but i bet its possible to get like 13 in a try if your really lucky.![]()
I'm pretty sure 13 is my high score haha
its like spotting ai images
MUI BUENO AUNKE MEDUELEN LOS DEDOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....................
