This ran really well in browser, very fun well done! I didnt feel bad shooting anyone knowing they would find love. The soundtrack is excellent. ggty!
Runs well and really polished game. The UI is super smooth and the environment is great. Shooting from the helicopter is a nice mechanic and pretty unique and challenging. Great game
As always, super polished visuals and overall presentation. Great work!
great game. I was bad shooting from an helicopter, but that is on my part. I like the humor in the Page description, but also the Announcer telling “KINK CONNECTION!” had me laughing. It took me some time in the beginning to see the people.
What a nice looking game! It was nice to play as Cupid and make the people connect.
I had great time playing this, thanks for the game!
This looked really good, vibes are impeccable!
Sadly, I couldn't play it with trackpad only, the option to toggle the zoom would have been great (or a button to shoot, which isn't as intuitive I guess)
Will have to play again with a mouse, when I find it, haha
Still 10/10 game, congratulations 🛼✨
Edit: Found my mouse. It IS a really fun game, just as i thought!
We need a sandbox of this game with no time constrains :D Its so fun and addictive. I made some people happy, their marriage lasted for 38 years. Also finally I removed the guy from the Friend-zone. All they needed was a shot from the Cupid's Helicopter. :D
But seriously I loved it. Nice aesthetics, the mechanisms worked flawless, strong theme implementation, funny little details. Excellent. The only thing I would add is to keep the info of the last person I shot, so when I aim for the 2nd person, to know if I want to do the connection or not. But that's a personal preference. Excellent job. Congrats!
hey thank you for the kind words. I do wonder however about your last point:
the first targets info should always be displayed on the left HUD and the second (after shooting the first) on the right HUD. Does it not work like that for you?
Hmm... now that I checked the game again it looks exactly like you describing it...The first target on the Left, the second on the right. Didn't I see it the first time? I can't be sure if it was a bug or I was too focused and missed it. Probably the 2nd. But It works exactly like this. Apologies for the confusion.
nah, don't worry. there's a lot of information on the screen - the UI could probably need another iteration or two.
Cupid goes extremely hard with an AWP 😂😂 Great idea, great game and very well made!
"IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT YOU CAN GO ELSEWHERE AND PLAY GAMES ABOUT KILLING PEOPLE INSTEAD" Great warning as well, everything made me laugh
fun little shooting game. looks polished in terms of art, music, sound effects, animations. thematic addition of connecting couples. well done!
Haha what a wild game! At first I didnt get it, I started to look for bad guys. But then I saw that it was love bullets, which is just an awesomely weird and great idea. This is what game jams should be. Great job!
I read the instructions, I tried both mouse buttons, but was unable to fire the sniper for some reason. I was able to use the scope but the gun wouldn't fire. Seems like a fun concept, and the orthographic camera was a bit trippy until I realized what was going on.
that is so strange.
as the instructions aren't completely clear:
did you try to shoot (click LMB) while zooming in (holding RMB)?
Got it! Must have been the mouse I was using. Now I can sho...I mean love the people! Yes, this works as intended
I enjoyed the game. Is my score good?
it's the first posted score - so in absence of a more elaborate online highscore, I hereby declare you the reigning "Champion of Kinks & Connections"
oh wow, Yay! xD
Daniel & Alice really hit it off!
Fun gameplay, good graphics, cool game!
Really nicely done, love the art/aesthetic, the music, sfx. Fantastic work in such a short time!
Edit: I'm sure others have mentioned this, but on mac mouse and/or some trackpads you can't hold down both left and right, so you can aim, but not shoot. I'd add in a secondary keyboard scheme (maybe even just left mouse aim, spacebar shoot.
Love everything about this game, again great job. Sniper feels even better than battlebit . And at least no one is seeing the glare and shootimg me back. :D
Love the game asthetics and gameplay. Zoom feature was really well though of.
