While there's clearly a canon ending, I very much appreciate the alternate endings since Nami doesn't use that very often
Another cozy, queer friendly visual novel? It's that NomNomNami dev again isn't it!!!! Seriously, this dev always got such lovely hits and ways to express their characters that just tickles yourself in a way that makes the characters feel real in such a short amount of time. You mix that together with alternate endings, proper character interactions, and multiple games within the same universe and it really makes for some fun world building that kinda domino effects into her other games.
I don't think Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is Nomnomnami best work, but with the larger cast of characters, multiple endings you can get; certainly gives the story enough breathing room to start making these characters endearing to you. While there isn't much path straying in this visual novel, the interactions are consistently different when you make certain choices. On top of that, the game is absolutely just filled with fluffy, gumball vibes of music and sound effects that really help yourself immerse in the soft vibes the game sets itself.
Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is a great start for anyone touching the NomNomNami gaming universe, and for those that have already touched some of their games it makes for a familiar welcome home that sticks around a bit longer than usual. While I don't think there is much here to keep everyone entertained, Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet ironically also being short and sweet sorta of work for itself. Match that together with a built in ending finder, and it's charming characters probably means you'll be getting your full dosage of Syrup from this game. Any game that compels you to 100% in such an entrancing way is great in my book.

An easy plat on the PSVita, not remarkable but not terrible either.
I played this game with my little brother when he was little. He's always loved this game because of the memory of it. That's why I will always love this game no matter what.

"Uma Visual Novel que não surpreende mas também não desilude, Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet retrata uma história açucarada e meiga sobre as dificuldades que cada um atravessa na sua vida. Seja qual for o novelo a desenrolar sobre cada uma das personagens, cada um dos dez finais é uma conclusão satisfatória. Syrup pode ser um pouco carrancuda demais, tendo em conta o género do jogo, mas o derradeiro doce desta obra é o mundo à sua volta e quem o habita."

Sweet short visual novel. Aesthetic is top notch really sells the candy backdrop the story is set in. Some places drag even for a 2hr game but overall its good.
