Great interpretation of the theme :) But easily my favorite part was the little phrases "He's a spicy gogurt" really had me giggling for some reason, haha.

I"m on a netbook and a tiny tiny part of the screen wasn't visible. But after a match the text didn't seem to go away? But I could still hit the 'match' button behind it. I assume I was just missing the dismiss button because of the bottom part of the screen ... but it didn't hinder the game play at all because I could still hit the match button.

Really cute. Art style and overall humor went really well together. The little references -- "Bort" -- very funny.

Liked the challenge escalation, although in terms of balance it might have been good to increase the bad-match penalty. Once I had built up some Rep, I could pretty much just randomly match people together for a while and just about break even.

This game is super adorable, I like how there is almost never any perfect matches.
maybe that's the metaphor their worlds may be connected but they are still different worlds.

Very nice and cute! Meaningful too I feel, though I can't put to words why yet.

the game was ok, and i like the title screen ;) but pressing 'done' after each match was a bit annoying

It was enjoyable to play cupid. Several times I forgot to clear the happy couple before looking to make the next match. The UI could be improved.

A somewhat unique game among LD... it was a bit refreshing. I like your interpretation of the theme. The round were a bit long IMO, and clicking the Done button felt a bit frustrating when you're working against a time limit.

Excellent sprites that really boosted the feel of the game. Music helped a bit with that too.

It definitely could use some more varied game play mechanics, but a nice submission overall.

I enjoyed this game very much, and it was easy to play from my tablet. I was pleasantly surprised with the increase in difficulty as I progressed, and the humor kept me engaged. Great take on the theme.
