Goodbye, Miss Cyanide
A downloadable game for Windows
Made for GMTK Jam 2021.
A short queer love story. You play as Caroline, a young queer girl who wants to ask out her crush, Penny, a waitress at her favourite diner. Caroline nicknamed Penny, Miss Cyanide.
Caroline has anxiety. You need to help her form the right sentences to woo Penny.
How To Play:
A mouse is highly recommended.
Press SPACE to progress dialogue.
When the minigame shows up, you must click on the word bubbles in the correct order to form a sentence. The wand must hit the bubble and you must click to select it. You have 60 seconds to do this, and your chosen words will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the words to form the desired sentence. A green tick will appear if you have succeeded.
In the final scene, you will get the good ending if you succeed most of the sentence games.
Who am I?
I'm FennecFu, or Fennec. I'm a solo developer, and for this project I worked with my musical friend, Crispin Joseph, who made all the music for this game :)

This was such a unique game but very fun to play and some of the random sentences I made were hilarious
Haha Thank you :D
"Can I number number?" and she game it to me yay! Now I have to work up the courage to call her and do it all over again....;)
That was a really cool story! I can totally relate when I've been single trying to work up the courage to talk to women and can't find the right words. I have like 2 seconds to say something perfect, and if I mess it up say byebye. Then feelin all awkward, anxious and regretful that I didn't say the right things that I thought of, after the fact.
Looking forward to pt 2!
Oh and ps. The music fits perfectly and the pixel art is very cute too!
Did you make it all your self?
Haha I am glad you enjoyed it, and that you related to the situation, looks like the game conveyed its purpose well :)
I did all the pixel art but the music was done by my good friend Crispin Joseph (who does music for quite a few of my games), the devlog is coming soon so you'll get to see the development process :D
Lookin forward to it! =)
I really liked the style of the art and the music, and I think the overall concept was super cool and fitting! It about sums up the experience of social anxiety... I think it fits the theme pretty well too.
Thank you :) I'm glad you felt the experience as intended and enjoyed the game!
Great Game FennecFu! I love the story!
Thanks :D
Very cute game, lovely style! Catching the words with the net is a really cute way to show that the character is nervous :)) I liked it!
Thanks :D
Played! Fun little story, I was rooting for the protagonist. Gameplay matched very well with the story, the character stumbling over finding the right things to say...at the same time as the player is struggling to pick the correct words in the mini game. I think Great and can't wait to see more story based games from you! Someday I will get Miss Cyanide's digits.
Thank you! I think there's some issues with collision detection but with a mouse it is easier xD Glad that you liked it
