I enjoyed this game. Just peacefully playing matchmaker and dragging people around to their next love. Its great! I do wish that it was more obvious on what people wanted and what traits did they have for themselves because it can be hard to tell at first and I kept getting wrong matches when I had no idea why. Other than that it fits the vibe well!!!
Thank you for playing, sharing the love & posting!
I do agree, what is "What I want?" and what is "Who am I?" could use some UI love - and this is one of the features we'll tackle in future updates. After all, what is love? If not making a game better as time goes by (yep, Haddaway knows this).
We intend to make this 4-day game into a more fully fledged experience on both PC and mobile. We'll of course release any update right here on itch.io. But in case you're interested in what's going on, feel free to check out our Discord - where the magic happens.
My highscore was 50! I should not be allowed to be anyone's matchmaker. With the timer breathing down my neck, I did made some hasty pairings. I hope they will forgive me one day!
To be perfectly honest, if you have a highscore of 50 you're doing better than the real cupid!
Thanks for playing and posting / sharing the love.

Adorable! I love the concept, and the vibe is on point. The art is cute and quirky. Showing how good of a match two people were when you held them next to each other was super intuitive! I found it a little hard to play at first, I think because I quickly forgot which text corresponded to characteristics and which to desires. Something to help recognize or more easily distinguish would be appreciated.
Great game!
Glad you enjoyed the short game and thanks for posting / sharing the love!
We do have some ideas for how to make the "wants" vs "characteristics" stand out more (maybe the wants would be inside a heart-shaped box?). As we're planning on porting this to mobile, we'll also update the core gameplay and make this clearer. Any update will of course be playable here on itch.io - for Windows and Web - so stay tuned or harass us Discord why the update isn't live yet!
