TLDR: match-3 games are more interesting. Talking with the girls is less rewarding and therefore less interesting to put effort in it. Classic match 3 but they added some elements making the match-3 even more interesting and challenging than in Huniepop 1. Play Huniepop 1 first tho. It's more interesting if you already know some characters from the first game. U can still buy the girls gifts which will boost the overall points you get per match which is really necesarry to win the dates, as they will get harder when you progress. However in Huniepop 1 you had to talk to them to get to know them in order to score points to buy gifts. The actual date is more rewarding (more currency gained) so after a while you just feel like skipping the chatting which is a shame. It's also a bit annoying that when 2 girls meet and you get the feeling they're totally not compatible that apparantly they are. Even tho one of the girls just sounded annoyed or uncomfortable. The actual getting to know each other part is rushed and could have easily taken a couple more dates. Overall fun and funny game
I had fun playing this game tho there are some things that are missing that I do miss. Some examples: - sorting/filtering system: sometimes you need a certain type of fish (cold water/bully/active swimmer) for an objective and you have to scroll through all your fish as there is no way to browse only through certain types - staff: doesn't need to be looked at as soon as they got a task and zone. There's no staff room, they don't need breaks, they don't get mad from working hard (and they have to work hard I'll tell you that as staffmembers are in my opinion seriously limited). - themes/decoration: you can paint your floors and walls but apart from that there's not really anything to make your aquarium prettier (apart from one palm tree and some decorations that are more suitable for your tanks) - I wouldn't have mind an actual gift shop and cafetaria/restaurant that also requires some management - if you use a plant or fish more than once (and you just need to re-use plants/rocks/...) visitors will drop your rating because "they've seen x before" Also I don't get why a tank needs X temperature and you place a heater or chiller that has a larger capacity than the tank requires, that you only see the number barely increase. You can't see by eye what heater or filter you need to place that will actually suffice for that tank. So it's buy, sell if it's not good enough, buy larger, sell, buy even larger, ... after a while you just start buying the largest thing you have to start with. So all in all it's entertaining but if you look at other games of this type then this is just really really simple and for me I think the game doesn't offer enough :)
