Pair the lonely people looking for love with the left and right mouse buttons (one button for each person in the couple). Grow the population and keep them happy. Be mindful of their companion preferences. Male symbol means they like guys, female symbol means they like girls, and rainbow means the're into everything. Angered people are lost to you and sad people age faster. Matching a man and a woman produces more tiny people but all love is worth the same in the eyes of the score. \r\n\r\ntldr: Click on one tiny person with the left mouse button and then on another with the right mouse button. If they're compatible they become a couple. Have fun!\r\n\r\nMade in GameMaker.","title":"Grow the Love"}
