I love the art style! Really nice style and a good use of emoji, super smart. Really makes you feel those 10 seconds, quite the brain teaser and I had a really good time! Thanks for a fun game!

Wow, this is actually a really great game. It's well thought out, cohesive, plays well, simple and intuitive. Also the art and sound direction are on point.
Nice art style and sound design! The game does get progressively tougher, a nice challenge.
I really like your unique adaptation of the theme!
Sounds and animations amazing!
Fun game, nice take on the theme
Man, ten seconds is not a lot of time. I never got anyone's contact information. I was always just shy of the score lines. Which made want to keep going. The concept of speed matching is surprisingly fun. With the charming art style and music, it was quite a fun experience.
Really had fun playing it, the art style fits the concept pretty well. I just feel like the adventage of being lucky enough to get 3 emojis is too much, and sometimes is almost impossible to get a contact without it. Maybe it is a decision to make it more difficult, but sometimes it feels a little unfair. Besides that, it's a good a fun game, keep up the good work!
Really love the art style, it's perfect, really looks like neat polished! The game was really intuitive, no need for a tutorial. I got 0 for the first round, but got 4 contact info when playing a second time! Really well done, really fun to play :D
Super cute, good sounds, nice juicy animations all over the place -- I had a good time! I had some trouble getting people's contact info and didn't get any the first time through, then played again and got two 3-matches in a row on the first one.
Pretty complete and succinct package. Nice use of emojis.

Quirky and fun! Super slick implementation and the vector graphics are really polished. It's also a good length to not overstay its welcome. Good job!
Challenging game - only managed 1 out of 10 with these boomer reflexes! Good vibe.
Already commented over on Itch, but overall really great work!
I got through the first 3 dates thinking "this is cool but it's a little easy" and then I failed every single date after that. Really creative and tightly designed!
very good atmosphere, the music and graphics are really beautiful! very nice gameplay! I have 3 matches (all green). i hade other but the game didnt count them, even if i had the soud of success, and the smilling face.
Cute art :) Surprisingly tough, only got 4 numbers :P
Great design, really nicely implemented!
This was suuuuuper well done! The art, the pacing, the music, the design. It's just all chef's kiss.
My only critique (and it's such a mild one) is that I got 2 matches JUST in the nick of time and it still gave me a no-no sound even as the top bar gave a <3.
Now I am not upset cause the game still let me have 3 people that I matched with and so I didn't actually lose out, I just always try to give a room for growth comment and this time it was really hard.
Thank you so much for the fast paced fun!
Loved this! Really fun. Quite hard at first but felt like I was getting better the more I played and I actually wanted to play more to get better. I also like the idea that dating is all just about pattern-matching interests haha! Only thing I would say though is that if you match with someone quite early on, you can't do anything and just need to wait for the timer to go down before moving onto the next one - would be nice if either you moved straight onto the next one or had the chance to maybe undo the match by continuing to play on that person until the timer went out.
Thanks everyone for the comments, it’s great to hear people’s feedback!!
Sounds like we may have a bug with the score if you answer right when the timer runs out. Thanks for reporting @roroto-sic and @otterfaelure, we’ll check it out!
This was a really innovative take on the theme, I loved it!
I tried it twice, and only got two matches both times. It's really hard! I think it was even easier to just randomly click based on the first image and hope for the best.
Really enjoyed this! It was really clever to distill the conversation to little symbols you need to match, it really captures the feel of dating and choosing what to say! Art, music, overall presentation was really nice and exceptionally polished. Great job!
Enjoyed the creative mechanism but appreciated that it was still easy to figure out what to do (though challenging to get it right). Polished and upbeat.
Well done, it's really refreshing. Really good idea to rely only on emoticon for conversation, so you don't have any langage barrier in your game.
This was really creative and fun! Great entry!
This is a lot more challenging than it first appears. Ten seconds is not a lot of time to find the best match, so it's a mental sprint to get those phone numbers. Great use of the theme, too. Did anyone else imagine the Game Grumps playing this and Arin freaking out?
It's more stressful than what I thought! Simple but nice game, good work!
