Selena has been waiting for her town's figure skating winter showcase all year. 

Her excitement turns to doubt when the organiser insists she partner up, and her fear only grows when she finds out her partner is none other than her childhood friend turned rival, Levi.

Will the two lift each other to success? Or will it all spiral out of control?

The project is currently available as a demo. 10k words, or the first half of the game was completed during Winter VN Jam 2022. 
Development will continue, and the second half will release in January 2023.

can I upload your game on YouTube

It says that it was updated 30 days ago, was that part 2?

No sorry, just a small page update! The full game had some development roadblocks due to some members being unavailable. Still coming, thank you for your patience!

Hi! Do you have a new estimate on the release date of the second half?

The Itch page still says:

"Development will continue, and the second half will release in January 2023."

OH MY GOD

Look, I'm biased, I love the creator/team, and ice skating based romances BUT, Romance at the Rink so far is already so much fun.  The witty back and forth of Selena and Levi is just *chef's kiss* and the voices are all top notch, I want to pull special attention to Selena's VA Karenna Foley. I was blown away by her delivery time and time again. The art is gorgeous throughout! I am so excited to see the rest of this story, and watch these two just make up already.
