Galactic Pick Up Artist

Alright... from where to start... First issue- the game bugs out if you click "yes" on the introduction to the Cauldron Second issue- tutorials didn't exactly explain how the game will play out. I had to learn through trial and error and usually that wouldn't be a bad thing, but when you have to res the entire game and scrap runs it's kind of frustrating And speaking of frustration- I personally dislike the "do this in the allotted time" shtick, because I'm a slower player. If you tell me to raise survivability and do fun stuff, I'll raise survivability until I'm certain I won't fail This is my issue, not blaming anybody, but it is a reason I wouldn't recommend it. And finally I know a lot of people will be weirded out by the puzzle, because this is the first matching puzzle I've ever seen that behaves like this. Like if you match 3 in a row, only one row will fall and the next one will spawn new boxes. It makes it impossible to predict what happens. The redo button was literally my be...

this game isn't even beta ready. If you make any changes to the options you have to reboot the game or it will glitch. The puzzle game needs work as half the time it gives garbage pieces while not having enough turns, unless you date the AI, and the pieces don't fall right since it will only drop the one or three pieces above and then re-spawn above that instead of dropping ALL the pieces above it down. Unless you play at the highest resolution you end up having the buttons on the sides cut off. The text in the options menu is hard to read. if you play in any map except the blue one sometimes you will have every enemy ship spawn on top of you and kill you right away, thus wasting time. The free play can't be ended unless you go back to the main menu, and then you have to reboot if you don't want glitches. even re-rolling the puzzle tiles only gives you anything useful 25% of the time, which at a cost of three turns is a waste. Not worth the price right now until they fix the ma...

buggy at the introduction. the game is a weak huniepop. doesn't feel different from each girl. just looks. same talk/questions. didn't feel unique 4/10

Match 3 game is very poorly designed, and also slow and boring. The ship minigame is awkward and not very fun either. The sandbox aspect of the game is poorly designed too. Stats are not explained properly, and training them ends up being literally useless most of the time, as dating gives more tangible upgrades to the ship minigame. Also, the game only lasts 7 days so there's no incentive to use up time slots to build up those stats anyway. That's it. That's the whole game. A poorly designed match 3 game and a boring ship minigame over 7 day runs. The UI doesn't feel great/responsive. Except for the skip button, that is done well (this is not a rant about the writing, only a genuine comment on the UX of the skip dialogue feature). I guess there is a decent amount of back story to the characters but I didn't read it so I can't say if it's good or not. Most importantly of all, this "Pick Up Artist" thing is soooo cringy. Thankfully there is an option to disable some of it. Honestly, ...

Dating plus top view starship exploring plus match-3 puzzle in one package. Did this combination work here? You're placed in the role of a spaceship commander. Your task is to explore and date. Date your reliable crew members of course. As for the exploring part, all you need to do is scour one of four sectors in order to locate anomalies while avoiding hostile spaceships and asteroids. For all of those tasks, you have seven days split into early, late, and night time. During the early and late phases, you can either train or date. Training can either increase your spaceship stats or your dating skills. The dating part consists of a conversation with choices (heavy PUA preaching) and match-3 'dating'. Completing the puzzle parts successfully (three times with any of the girls) is the only way to reach one of the four endings. The night phase is the exploration part. You need to select one of the four sectors and then fly around mapping the rectangular area in search of squares with an...

I don't like this game. Only 7 days to get all the girls to like you. It doesn't seem like the achievements work. Match 3 plays weird. It drops one line and then fills in the line above it. Failing a date locks the game. Dates don't make much sense either. Didn't get to any of the scenes since I can't get further in the game.

Ugh, what a mess. It tries to be a HuniPop clone, except with extremely slow puzzle gameplay lacking in much variety. The menus are buggy as can be, had to reset after getting pop ups stuck or unable to proceed multiple times. The art is...subpar to say the least. The music is short and repetitive. Way not worth the price even on a good sale, let alone full price.

not fun game play

I'm sorry but the game locks up in too many places with dialogue and options. Also the ship combat kind've sucks, but I didn't get too far into it. I played it for the match 3, but it seemed broken for some reason. Maybe it works as intended. The turn counter didn't seem to matter as I went a few rounds past 0, quite a few. Sometimes blocks would fall and sometimes not, and if they fall its usually only the above row. I think once a 4 or 5 matched row only counted 3 of the tiles. As someone else (Waiführer) said in a review, something like the 'teaching men irl how to pick up girls' is rather untrue and pretty cringe. Sadly, I have to say wait for fixes or play at your own risk. I do look forward to another game by this dev though.
