HEADSTUCK
A simple meeting with an old friend... Or is it? Your thoughts reveal more than you think...
HOW TO PLAY
- Left click to drag thoughts around. Be sure to click on the bubbles and not on the text to drag it around!
- Right click to skip dialogues.
- To start the game, drag the "start game" thought to the bubble; to restart the game reload the page.
- Be careful not to use thoughts that put you in an embarassing situation, and see if you can reveal your secret love!

how can a game be so short and so relatable at the same time
Found lost and love endings
Good job! Thanks for playing!
Such a simple idea and mechanic but put together to make something with a lot of comedy and re-playability. Sometimes it really does feel that stressful and chaotic to arrange your thoughts.
Well Done
Thank you so much for playing the game! I loved watching through your playthrough!
another idea is an ending where by a certain order of choices she ends up just not confessing and you stay friends
good concept of a game, liked it
Thanks for playing!
Can hardly play it. Sometimes the dialogue options spawn on top of each other or right above the text box so it's impossible to stop them.
It should not be this hard to not be a creep. The options shouldn't move that fast, if at all. Just because I'm nervous and I think of something to say that I decide not to, it isn't difficult to not say it. This feels very unrealistic and frustrating.
Hello! This isn't meant to be realistic really, just a way to replicate the stressful situation of having such strong feelings for a person it makes it hard to think straight! Maybe you are luckier than me and are able to think rationally under pressure but I can't really.
I agree with your frustrations though, this was mostly an experiment I played around with for a jam so it's very rough.
i wish i could somehow carry the "your breasts are amazing" thought to the end to say instead of i wanna kiss you. would be a funny ending.
That's a funny idea!
what do you think the ending would be like? i'm wondering if it would be "you screwed it up and she threw the dinner at your face" or "now that i think about it lets just be friends"
Probably give him a slap and leave
ah yes, the baka ending. is this the worst ending or the best ending i wonder?
I'd say they still have a chance of making up so maybe somewhere in the middle
I love this game.
Happy that you like it!
Would be nice if I could get it to scale to my phone screen…
I'll try to remember to play it next I can access a PC.
Sorry about that, it was not designed to be used with a phone...
Usually Itch says when a browser game isn't intended for the current device under the "Run\Resume Game", but didn't this time…
I still plan to eventually play this, seems like it'll be a good game.
I don't suppose it's too late to add Android support…?
I found virtual love lol
huh,just like my life.
ok,that was a joke but really nice game with cool mechanics well done with the art too i really enjoyed!
Thank you <3
hesitation..well..well
intresting
This was an interesting game to play. I really enjoyed the story and the game mechanics of moving thought bubbles was quite interesting and engaging!
Thanks for the video, I'm happy you liked it :)
This was such a good story!!!
Thank you!
I can t stared the game, im using a chromebook laptop.
I don't know if you already tried, but you have to drag the "start game" thing on the bubble to start the game
...I feel so stupid now, thanks haha
Don't worry! Let me know what you think! :)
Lol, pretty nice game, I enjoyed it!
Thank you!
im stuck i cant start the game
What device are you using?
Hey ! I really liked your game and how you used the game mecanics to think about how dialog works. Might seem like a standard game about anxiety, but you pictured good how our thought can "get in our ways", and I think that's a really good thing about this game. Good job and thanks you for making it ! :)
Thank you! I'm really really happy you liked it.
really cool game i thought the main mechanic was cool and i actually like the writing it was sweet and realistic and it does have some humor in it like trying not to say "i like your breasts" to her makes me giggle
This is an incredible game! Short, sweet, and too the point XD
Good god this is social anxiety the game xD
Seems like a cool game, but honestly couldn't play it long because it seriously gave me a panic attack lol Maybe if the thoughts moved slightly slower? But that's just my silly opinion.
Sorry about that! Yeah, it was kind of the point of the game to create a little social anxiety. Don't let that stop you though! Being awkward is part of being human.
Thank you!
The thoughts... they cannot be controlled! XD
Cool idea for a game mechanic! It really put the pressure on to keep some thoughts away while thinking up a response. ^^
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
it make me think a lot of things about my self , thanks for this game
Thank you so much for playing!
IM FEELING SO MANY THINKGS I FOUND LOVE I CANT I CANT ITS TOO PRECIOUS AND REAL
I'm glad you liked it Angela!
