Baby, U So Fine!

Here is my entry into the October Experimental Gameplay Project. It is called U So Fine! When they said to make a game for girls, I immediately thought of something I’d want my sisters or niece to play. So, I’ve created a date trainer. I hate hearing about how women fall for a guy’s charms so easily only to only never hear from him again. I wanted to teach girls how to keep a guy’s interest.
You take on the role of a young woman who goes out on dates. During the course of the date, your suitors bombard you with lines and compliments in an attempt to increase your libido. You as the girl have to fight back your libido. You don’t want to come off as too cold and aloof, lest you become bored. On the flipside you don’t want “drink the kool-aid” and get seduced either. It’s important to avoid the extremes. It’s best to ride the middle and keep the guy on the hook.
As you continue to go on dates you become more experienced and it becomes easier to control your libido. Go through 10 dates and you are rated on your date performance. A full dating cycle should take around 10-15 minutes. There are 3 potential outcomes to discover.
I had wanted to have a lot of daters. I was only able to get in 3. I wanted to put in some ambient effect like “being jaded” that result in a constant decay of you libido. I wanted daters to bring you gifts that would keep your libido from dropping below a certain level. Oh well, 7 days is hard to get all the things done I wanted. Also, the single button interface can become taxing. All in all this is probably the most “unique” game I’ve ever worked on. It was fun.
This took technically 8 days. I started last Saturday, but if we look at the actual development time spent on it, the grand total would fall well under 7 days. Work was a bit taxing this past week so less time was spent creating. Oh well, I think this is overall better than the last entry.
Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE THE CONTENT OF THIS GAME MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13. THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL ASSESSMENT AND NOT A CLASSIFICATION GIVEN BY ANY REVIEWING ENTITY.
Controls:
Down Arrow – Fight your libido
F4 – Full Screen
Esc – Exit game
*The restart function hasn’t been greatly tested, but it should work.
Funny idea! Just wish the gameplay would be more interesting than tapping a key. Also, something that comes to my mind: the game seems to be for boys, I mean, as I guy I find funny taking the role of a girl and playing the difficult one, not letting the guy seduce me that fast. But wouldn´t a girl like to play to be the easy one, as playing the difficult is what she normaly does anyway?

Thanks for the comment!
Yeah, I wanted more inputs than just one button, but there wasn’t time. I wanted to include special powers you could execute as well. I did try a different model where you tried to guess the intent of the suitor’s line. You would try and guess if they were being sincere or scheming. That wasn’t as engaging. I may post up that build later.
I don’t disagree that a women may want it to be easy dating experience. I think everyone wants to be in control. However, the chance that you may get seduced on your first date in real life is not unheard of. If you’ve never experienced that sort of attention before you may get swayed by it.
That said, one of the guys you date is hit or miss. He typically uses really good lines on you or he uses really crappy lines. He can be unfair if you go on a date with him early on. If you are lucky you get to go on dates with the other guys early on.
