The characters are quite cute and for some reason I want to keep clicking!

Noooo!!!! I got to 19 lovers :(

That was an interesting take on the theme. One of those games that you would try to play at work for hours instead of doing your actual work. Loved the music!

Cute game, though it was a little one-dimensional with only one thing to do (flirt).

Music is awesome, especially end-of-level effect made me laugh (:

Earlier levels was too much repetitive though, a bit slow on progress side.

This could have been an Orisinal game, in some alternate universe. Remember him? Good work-- I do wish it ramped up a little faster, but it looks and sounds great.

The graphics are too cute >w< ! Nice music, though a bit repetitive.
Could make a nice idle game with a bit more work :)

Because sometime Beer can be an unconventional weapon. Congratz on this very good entry, I loved it !

Nice, enjoyed it - agree with commentors who say it would be better if it ramped up quicker.

Also, I hit FIVE BAD JOKES IN A ROW - How unlucky am I? I know its "truly" random but honestly I would probably have fiddled the probabilities so that a bad joke reduces the odds of a bad joke next time.

Unexpectedly fun. I loved the background style. Learned I need to read the how to. Getting more cash was easier than I thought.

The sounds are way too loud and annoying.
Cool game tho, nice interpretation of the theme. Was fun too.
What does the game teach? You can get every woman with enough money. :D

Graphics looked good, a little more uncertain about the 'weapon' - 10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

Love the graphics, especially the mood with the music and cherry blossoms. I did see some comparisons with male prostitution (getting paid with each lover). I liked how it got more complicated with mechanics like the joke. IRL all my jokes are bad...

love the cutesy pixel art. game play is a bit repetitive. had fun flirting and getting the girl :D

Nice little game, but the sounds were to high pitched

Simple but cute. A little more options would go a long way.

Cool graphics and audio for quite a different Asian theme. The joke wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. :(

Good luck!

Very interesting variant of Idle Game style of game.

Interesting use of the theme. Very cute, but it quickly becomes repetitive, though the power ups help a little bit.

Cute game! I could click on the money up to five times and collect extra before it would disappear sometimes. It probably wasn't intentional though the extra cash helped :P. Some of the sound effects were pretty loud compared to everything else. Overall I really liked it and would love to see more, great work!

I liked the music but the other noises this game made were really screechy. It hurt my ears a little. But! Really really cute, and surprisingly fun to play! Nice job!

Money raining, you get paid if you end up flirting, getting them drunk helps... are you a prostitute? :P

I have no idea how to get my 20th lover. I think once you hit 15 simultaneous lovers, you start taking a long hard look at yourself, and as a result lose all confidence. At least I assume that's the reason.

It's funny, although a bit limited in what you can do. Not sure if it's a joke over dating sims, but that's one way I can see this game as well. Thanks for this entry.

Lol, you can press money twice ;). How do you get money when you get a girl? Realism much?

Great little game, got to 19. A vague, pixelated girl WOULD be the undoing of a pixel artist.

Ah, a fun clicking game. Quite addictive, but at the same time a bit slow to build up levels. First time I went shopping I bought the auto-click and then I lost, which was quite frustrating. Good work for a LD!

Really cute! Graphics are very nice, simple implementation. A bit slow paced, but very polished.

It's raining money~~~ and there's sakura in the background.

This game is really fun, but not much of a gameplay... but definitely fun. And the music is really nice.

Good job!

Cool game. Harder than it looks, and I got one just as the bar ran out so it played the winning sound as I lost :/

Cute merging of an idle game with the theme! Also, why you need so many women huh? :p

Cute graphics, simple gameplay, but addictive. I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Fg_0-yj__pU
