I think you also have to repeat the same action (flirt, bump, etc) too many times to get a result. Adjust that &amp; I think you'd have a pretty compelling game, because the basic mechanics are pretty sound."},{"author_name":"infernet89","author_uid":"14271","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 9:03pm","epoch":1346446680,"text":"Very nice, this kind of evolution by flirting is a clever idea!"},{"author_name":"timtipgames","author_uid":"15341","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 3:35pm","epoch":1346513400,"text":"I don't know what it is, but I just made love with it!
