Ever wanted to be a love guru? Too bad. You're boring, generic, and no one likes you. At this rate, you'll never find love, and die sad and alone.

Not to worry, though, because it's time for speed-dating! To win the ladies' hearts, you must figure out what things they like as soon as possible! Work hard, and you might just become a *master dater*.

Features:
- All the INTENSE ACTION of roguelikes with all the PRESTIGE of dating simulators!
- Random Girl Generation (trademark): Over 200 possible girls to date!
- Engage in ACTION-PACKED CONVERSATIONS. Answer questions! Ask your own questions!
- Collect items to help you in your quest!

Watch out, though. Some girls are dangerous, and it would be better not to engage them...

Tools:

- PhaserJS
- Paint.NET
- FLStudio

Had fun with this! Art style comes together nicely with the music, good humor too. The questions often zipped by too fast for me to click, but I pretty sure that's the joke (it got more manageable once I had the powerup). Very slick overall.

I had some troubles understanding that the zipping dialogues where the possible question I could ask. Maybe they are a little bit to quick to disappear. The idea is good, but maybe your game lacks a little bit of polishing.
Good job overall anyway !

Took me three times to not die to the Yandere... dang fake mustache! Great game! The music change was super intense and well done. I was not expecting the game to get that intense. Also enjoying getting into a four question back and fourth about preferring cats or dogs, that was quite amusing.

Very nice game. Once you figured it out it's somewhat easy (even tho I haven't completed it yet :joy: )

Haha, I really enjoyed this one!

Wow, very stressful! Maybe it should start a little slower and gain more speed over time?

But after a while it's really challenging in a positive way, and also humorous! :slight_smile:

Good use of the theme! A roguelike dating sim haha that's a great idea. I enjoyed the art/audio and it's cool the girls are randomly generated. I dated 3/4 and then DIED ALONE :*( right in the feels lol great compo submission!

I like the music! Now I know I shouldn't date a yandere :p

Really liked the idea!
The interface and gameplay mechanics are also great, really dig them.
Unluckily I encountered the yandere and beat the crap out of me xD

This game's got great humor and good pace. The yanderes are a bit difficult to get past though! Nevertheless I really enjoyed the game. It would be really nice to be able to see a collection of all the girls we successfully dated ehehe. Thanks for making our lives a bit less lonely.

Haha this is an interesting concept. There are some ridiculous girls that can get generated lol. I wish there were more questions though, and it seems like what they liked or didn't like wasn't always consistent (I do get that it's a roguelike though). Anyway good job!
