The graphics in this game are crude, true, but that's to be expected. The game was made a few years ago, only recently has it been brought over... They're charming, true enough, but sometimes they leave a little to be desired...
The main focus of this game is to win the heart of the boy's one true love. Obviously, the only way is to increase your heart's power by making out with anything in sight. Any living critter can earn you a kiss. But not just anyone will kiss you, no no. The conditions have to be right. YOU HAVE TO SNEAK UP ON THEM. Get them when they've dropped their glasses, or are distracted. Intriguing as this is, in practice it can be quite infuriating. Although sometimes it's relatively easy, just sneak up to them... Sometimes characters have set times you can kiss them. And if you run in front of them when trying, you get smacked, hard. There's one section of the game, a playground, where if you don't bother reading an out of the way sign, you'll not know that touching nearly ANYTHING there will kill you.That type of difficulty, that smack you in the face feel, it's inexcusable. You'll be aggravated... But it's so quirky, you'll keep trying.
Adding to aggravation, sometimes the game will leave you with absolutely no clue whatsoever to do. Literally no leads, nothing. How am I supposed to know that the only way to kiss the Doctor is to mix a love potion? This frustration is frequent, unfortunately, taking away from it's natural charm. I recommend this game to all fans of quirky games, like Katamari Damacy... But don't go in expecting a master piece. Expect men dressed as utility poles.
