Wow? You should check that "not for kids" and "Possibly offensive" checkbox.

Still very funny with some of the monsters though! I love their profile descriptions!

The idea is fun, but there's too much text to read. Anyway, the photos on MONSTR are hilarious :-)

Its quite funny and touching, although don't expect to be blowing things up when you play it.

I don't mind the long text. Good variety of dating profiles, as you note relevant profile images would take up a lot of time but add to the humor of the game. The canned Twine structure is subverted a little by having (what I assume) to be randomised profiles).

Come to think of it the mature or irreverent stuff is quite amusing. It is an adult monster site where everyone's looking for a one night stand, after all.

Was meant to be working, but clicked over to this and just couldn't stop my tentacles swiping right (or is it left? Or into the nether vortex?). Very nicely done, entertaining writing throughout. Though, I also found myself skimming monster profiles in the search for a suitable match…? So, A++ simulation, I guess!

Nice

flatgub 2015-08-25 06:14

That was hilarious and really well done!
Good job!

The idea is interesting but the gameplay gets worn out real quick unfortunately. Good writings though, if you really have the patience to get thru it.

Pretty much sums up my life

hissssssssss 2015-08-25 13:51

This was funny, and I was really impressed with how well you handled the randomly generated elements!

Cute game.

yrr 2015-08-25 21:15

Definitely one of the funnier entries I've played!

guoboism 2015-08-25 23:12

Funny entry. But the dating session is too short. Ah, that is the life.

cbstegeman 2015-08-26 00:10

Definitely LOL'ed a few times. Really weird. The music is a perfect complement.

Me and fiance are legitimately sitting here arguing over who to message. Great game!

officialcodenmore 2015-08-26 01:44

Funny!

roosterkite 2015-08-26 02:12

A really clever idea and well-executed! I think it could be great with a consistent art style for the profile pictures. Still, very enjoyable! :) I found the birch bookcase - what will happen?!

A very funny game, and an interesting take on the theme! The writing was top-notch for a game made in three days.

secularbaron 2015-08-26 12:07

That was a cute and funny game. I found my missed connection.

f1ak3r 2015-08-26 18:52

That was pretty funny. About halfway through the first playthrough I was starting to think that I wouldn't find the person I was looking for because online dating is a depressing mess of awful people/monsters, but then I did. So that was a happy ending.

Smartly put together, well-scoped for a jam like this and overall a very nice effort. If I have anything to complain about it's that the randomness of the pictures was a bit jarring and took me out of the game when, for example, there was a picture of Cthulhu next to "hotwhitecentaur" or something, but I do think they needed to be there, and I know it would have been next to impossible to get enough appropriate pictures in such a short space of time.

Nice work.

Great idea, liked the username! haha

Biruts 2015-08-30 13:36

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

katekmail 2015-09-01 14:04

Excellent! So glad I found this-- I did a dating themed game too. It's

miotatsu 2015-09-04 07:12

if only finding a date were that easy ;.; 2real4me

Interesting concept, though I started losing interest after several days of surfing through profiles looking for a description that fit the mystery date's hint.
