Star-crossed lovers by creative630

Welcome to Star-crossed lovers, the universally famous interstellar dating show!

In Star-crossed lovers you take the role of bob, a lonely planet looking for love on an intergalactic reality TV show. The shows host Joey Prime introduces bob to a trio of celestial babes hidden under silhouette. The babes are asked questions by bob, who picks out his favorite answers. Based on the answers he chooses which planet he would like to date.

Once chosen, bob needs to track down his chosen partner. (He better do it fast, before the babe gets cold feet!) Finally after the quick trip across The Universe, it is smooching time!

Who knows what happens after that. Maybe even baby planets? ;)

Once chosen, you need to track down your chosen partner.
After the quick trip across The Universe, it is smooching time!

This was built in 72hrs by a three-man gang, comprised of programmer Ryan Mazzolini, artist Ben Rausch and sound-design Jason Sutherland.

The three of us really enjoyed spending the past three days making this weird little pixelated baby. We hope you'll have a good time taking her out for a spin! Happy smooching!

High fives from Team Perfect Match!

Absolutely great execution here... love the art, sound, and story. I made four little babies! I wasn't sure what to do on the last stage, or I definitely could've been 'busier'.

The game I made is also about connecting two planets in a love match! Although, a bit more indirectly.

Pretty clever implementation here. High marks all around. Thanks for the fun!

Funny little game! I got a bug (I think) at the kiss, the planets moved apart instead of towards each other (guess it wasn't meant to be :P ). Lovely art, and the audio is a nice touch!

I liked flying around at the end, but I guess I ran out of time and didn't get to make out.

Dear lord, 16 children? LOL. I liked all of the space puns, and you had great writing! The results felt a little beyond my control, but I guess that's the point of those kinds of shows, right? Babbies are up to you, a good match is up to the host. Thanks for the creative game!

What the hell did I just play? :|

Anyway, Britta forever. Wouldn't mind getting to her Lagrange point L3. 8 babies achieved. Mad and funny, I don't know what else to say :D

Aaaaah, this was just one of the best entries ever! I love games that have different game mechanics and switch the point of view as you have done here with basically three games (questions, steering, key-breaking).
Love it, the texts made me laugh tears, sooo entertaining!
thank you
