I bought this largely as a joke expecting a total wreck of a game but it's actually fairly entertaining. I mean, you can't take it seriously; all the girls are basically caricatures and the conversations never rise above ludicrous but the mechanics are entertaining, there's some laughs to be had and the puzzles ramp up to be challenging (mind you, I never play puzzle games so maybe the Candy Crush masters will find this easy). You meet girls, ask them questions, get asked questions and go on "dates" represented via the match-3 bubble puzzles where the personality of the girl affects the value of each bubble type (so one may value "Flirting" matches more and another "Talent" matches). Your conversations are tempered by a constant need to buy food and gifts to keep her talking and the dates oddly give you the money you'll need to start all over again. Eventually your night time dates can lead to bedtime frolicking represented by a "lightning round" style puzzle.

The game is unabashedly what is is and if you think you might be offended, you certainly will be so save your money. If the trailer makes you laugh at either the dialogue or voice acting, you'll probably enjoy yourself for at least a while. I don't know if the game will have a ton of staying power from a gaming standpoint (unless you want to collect a bunch of semi-naked pictures) but it's fun while it lasts.

Of special note is the musical score which is very catchy and well done. It's rare that I notice game music enough to realize it and I found myself enjoying it multiple times throughout my playing.
