Very fun game!

I love when you see a guy getting old and depressed from being alone and then just die! There is some potential here.

My only regret is that it's a bit confusing.

Thanks! I updated the description. Hopefully it doesn't make it even more confusing :P.

Nice concept, but my little persons are not compatible at all? Love to see this more polished!

eerongal 2015-12-14 16:54

Neat little game, it eventually gets kinda hard to tell people apart as they start overlapping, though!

silkworm_sweatshop 2015-12-14 17:01

They key is in interpreting the symbols. Make sure both people get what they want in the pairing not just one of them. For example a "male looking for a male" is not compatible with a "male looking for a female".

eerongal: It is kind of the point hehe :D

Cute game! I love it!

adamgryu 2015-12-14 17:55

Cute :)

adamgryu 2015-12-14 17:57

Oh also, if you can avoid using an installer, I think that will help more people play the game.

silkworm_sweatshop 2015-12-14 18:09

adamgryu: Didn't even realize I could do that. I'll switch out the file to a no installer.

Seems to be very accurate to real life xP
It was very fun :D

fun game. nice details the flowers when they die.

janacek 2015-12-15 00:54

Isn't there a bit of incest in this ? :p

Funny little game !

@flakoflak: Fun(or sad) fact: Flowers only grow if they've had love in their life at some point.

@Janacek: Well you're the one in control so you tell me :P. Thankfully, I made the kids off-limits at least.

Neat idea, cool use of the theme. I unfortunately let die a little guy by mistake, but I got the idea and save the others :P

Aw this was adorable. I felt really bad when my rabid matchmaking left them scarred for life :( Guy #12 and Girl #16 OTP

Cuuute. Unique idea for a game. This was surprisingly challenging, though on further reflection it might be 'cause I never learned the male/female symbols that well, so I was constantly screwing up. I like the simple cartoon style too. Good game!

crucknuk 2015-12-16 00:25

Graphics and music are nice, I like the concept too. This is a good entry, good job!

socapex 2015-12-16 01:34

Lmao!

Very fun game loved the concept simple yet has lot's of meaning behind it. I also enjoyed the diversity of different types of people it was very nice. Great Game!

koocachookies 2015-12-16 12:38

Cool! Interesting and amusing mechanic :)

x92rwzb 2015-12-16 19:40

Very cool game. Graphics could be better though.

bobm 2015-12-16 20:03

Very nice game i like the mood, and have fun trying it 4/5 times, good job !

skaz 2015-12-17 17:05

Very nice entry! I couldn't get a decent score though, a rampant epidemic of straight males turn every one of my attempts into human extinction :p Only run I made quite long was survival through reproduction between brother and sister... Adam and Eve style!

oz2mura 2015-12-18 14:19

Game is dark D: Like lonely people dying, everyone dying of old age, I'm making everyone angry, and everyone making babies. I liked it!

Fitting music/sounds. Cute graphics. Once I got a handle on what symbol was for who, was a blast trying to keep the population up. gg

hotboxgames 2015-12-18 20:22

Sweet little game. LOVED the music! First time I played I watched everyone get angry, lonely, sad and die with -42 points! Played a bit more and got the hang of it though! :)

camlang 2015-12-20 19:24

Very nice game. Really cruel :)

stanov 2016-01-03 19:50

At first, it's very difficult. But then it's quite nice :) A tutorial would be greatly appreciated!

Great graphics and music!!!

nihilaleph 2016-01-04 02:48

Pro:
+ Very cute concept
+ Nice take on theme
+ Nice graphics and audio
Con:
- With many tiny people it gets hard to see the preferences of each tiny person

Great job!

tapehead 2016-01-04 12:12

sometimes it's a bit hard to pick a person because their overlap each other, but besides that it's a great small game! very well done!
