HuniePop

A very fun game, to my knowledge this is the first game of this puzzle genre I've played and it didn't disappoint. Of course the game isn't for children, erm hello, the premise of it basically is about as far away from a kid friendly plot you can get unless I missed the point where family morals took a step back. That being said Disney and Pixar have been putting in some subtle references but I digress. This is a fun game and I urge you to play it and if you do I say GO FOR NIKKI SHE'S ONE OF US.

It's a "dating sim". Air quotes are fun, but a more salacious gesture might be appropriate here. The player is a sad and lonely loser who can't get a date, playing a game in which the main character is a sad and lonely loser who can't get a date - until a magical love fairy appears to help him out. (Or help her out - you can play as a woman because all the girls are bisexual.) It turns out that the secret to success with women is playing a match-3 game, and this part is addictive and very well done, with a lot of extra stuff bolted on to the core match-3 gameplay to keep it interesting. The other half of the game is stalking the girls, talking to them, buying them gifts, getting them drunk , and feeding them insane amounts of food. No, really. Want to ask a question? That will cost you a burger. Don't ask me why taking a girl home for the night fills up half her nutrition bar. With the Valentine's Day update, things got a lot harder. Also, the difficulty of the game increased with the introduction of the "alpha" game mode in which dates get more difficult without limit. Players who enjoy grinding will appreciate this, as will players who like to get 100% completion. Writing tends to be offensive, hilarious, or both, with the best/worst lines by far being... everything Kyu says. Voice acting is pretty good, although some people disagree here. The girls' voices can be turned off - how are real women expected to compete with such perfect fantasy creatures? Control is via mouse only, which gets the job done, but a few keyboard shortcuts would have been nice. I can only speculate about what I'm expected to do with my spare hand while playing this. It's fun and funny. It is not for the perpetually offended, or for people who have some sort of religious objection (e.g. Leviticus 18:17), and really not for kids. For the rest of us, thumbs up!

I'm more or less done my first run through HuniePop, and GOG is telling me that I've managed to spend 12 hours already. Twelve hours in a dating simulator, using match-3 mechanics to date cartoon women and memorizing details about characters whom I could never meet in real life. That just goes to show that, despite the rather simple premise, the game hooks you and doesn't let go. The dialogue is funny, the various characters are -- with one big exception -- likable and relatable, and the match-3 gameplay has a deceptive depth that will keep you focused on your every move. I definitely recommend playing this game. It's well worth the price.

I can say that I like this game. And that's only partly because of the fanservice. On hardest difficulty its more like a strategy-match-3 that rewards you with nice pictures. So should you buy it? absolutely! its a great game even if I wouldnt play it while my parents can see the screen.

Sincerely, anyone who bought this game and wasn't thinking about the hentai scenes is plain out lying. This game is explicitly about that. However, what I did find out while playing was that I started getting more interested in the game itself than in the nudity scenes. I mean, I really did enjoy the first one I got - Aiko best girl - but what made me keep up playing was the match 3 gameplay. The characters conversations are silly and fun, the "VN" system is pretty nice and the match 3 game is simply awesome, I started to get really strategic to beat the late levels.
