Great Job

I like your style of animation, it's "reley" catchy.

P.S. just out of curiosity, why don't you have legal rights to this?

Only issue is that the clothing options bar reappears when you change scenes. If I hide it it should stay hidden during transitions.

Great art and animation for sure. I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapter.
My only issue is that the movement speed feels a bit too slow. I think you should speed it up or add a run toggle

I did manage to win in straight games through judicious use of saving, just to contextualize what I'm about to say.

Pro:
Both characters are reasonably fleshed out (teehee), and their existing relationship adds a layer of depth that wasn't there in the previous episode.
The art is, again, fantastic. Really well done overall.
The minigame has a surprising amount of depth to it, and it was pretty fun to play. I feel like if it were polished up it would work as a standalone game.
The various different "scores" adds a fair bit of replayability

Cons (both about the minigame):
Dashing is a little jarring. It happens often as I try to make small adjustments to my position, throwing me off.
The coordination between playing the game and clicking the distraction buttons is difficult. I think it would help if they were bound to the keyboard (e.g. press "N" to Taunt).

I loved this episode and can't wait for the next one.
