They had me at "Did I hurt your whore feelings?" and I bought it two days ago.

I bought it expecting a wreck of a game base don the trailer but it's actually entertaining assuming you're entertained by Match-3 games. You meet a girl and spend money talking to her (via buying her food/gifts) and building up your "Hunie" which you then spend on enhancements for the dating Match-3 game. After the date you get money based on how well you did (I need dates like that) and the cycle begins anew. After four successful dates, you can have a night time date which leads to bedtime frolicking represented by a lightning round Match 3 game. Win that for some anime porn shots. Rinse and repeat another 5-7 times to complete the game.

It's not a game to be taken seriously. It's unabashedly crass and insulting but so much so that I couldn't take it seriously to get offended. You bang a cheerleader and her adult film star mother (not at the same time). You give some Japanese teacher chopsticks and she calls you a racist. You ask every woman how big her boobs are. Shy girls are sending you naughty selfies after two dates. Taken as a joke, it's amusing for a while. But I've read reviews by people taking it seriously, not even in a "OMG FEMINISM!" way but comparing it to various Visual Novels or Sim-Romance games and I think that's a mistake. There's no depth, no real story development, the women are all caricatures, you're a joke of guy asking them out and it is what it is. The Match-3 puzzles are fun enough though.

Lots of new games in this genre recently. The people who get mad at everything and think their own social justice rules should be applied to everyone, on all the things ever, are already coming out in the community hubs to whine.

I'll prolly pick this up at some point though on sale.

*Oh and I like this new strategy. Release neutered version, make it easy to patch. Enjoy your eroge if you want to for cripes sake. Nekopara! lol

So Leisure Suit Larry if it were a cellphone game?

Multi-tasking.....proning while gaming, ftw. (keyboard is doomed I say!)

I don't suppose there is a hot young cartoon man sporting a hard-on as reward for clearing a board?

No, but I'm seeing a Kickstarter in your future!

There's a bunch of breakout style games that do thus type of thing too.

That's awesome. I collected cans for recycling so I could play Dig Dug, Joust , and Galaga. at the pizza shop/arcade/conveniant store.

Also here is my name for your Ecchi game hybrid kickstarter:

"Space Penetrators!"

Huh Huh? You know it would overshoot it's goal really fast. (ok that's enough bad innuendos for now.)

This one has some dudes. It's fairly NSFW.

That Loren one was on a bundle a while back.

Man, I predict a major snow storm six weeks out with a dream(thus allowing me to avoid driving in it by taking a vacation) and now I mention a bundle(even if only in response to someone mentioning a game) and it comes back! Next dream I have about lottery numbers, I'm writing that crap down.

Assuming one would play it, it's worth it for Stalker: SoC alone since that game never goes on Steam sales any longer. Even when GOG puts it on sale, it's only for 50-66% off and not the 75%/$5 price it used to hit.

It's really pretty fun. The art and eroge are not that big a deal but the dialogue can be hilarious. And of course the match game is super addictive. I played it without knowing what I was doing my first run and started failing hard after 2 girls. So I rerolled after reading a guide.

My strat that wins easy now:

SpoilerRaise passion first while looking for any easy sentiment or bells. Avoid matching the girls primary favorite color until passion modifier is higher. You can get passion up pretty easy with 6 sentiment and re-usable bear gift to make all broken hearts passion tokens.

Then when you do match primary colors the passion modifier will give you WAY more points.

Other thing I found out later is gifts with heart icons in store while talking will give date useable super gifts and once you unlock those there are lots of strategy variations.

Also if you want to build you hunie really fast both The hot teacher and the ****** shopping girl will drink anywhere any time of the day and you will get huge hunie bonuses.

I only have 2 girls left except for the last boss, already did the secret unlock ones. Even with maxed out traits and strategic date gift layout per girl it's getting pretty hard again to get them all in one run. I don't even care about the remaining girls I'm just in it for the challenge for a while now lol.

Huniepop was updated with Steam achievements, a real ending and some various other bits and bobs. In case you needed a reason to visit the ladies again.
