I had a LOT of laughs making this, my thanks to MrPhil for dragging me into Ludum Dare!

Gameplay: Hit spacebar to get past the splashscreen, after that it is all mouse pointing and clicking. 5 options to pickup your selected girl: Ask a question, tell her a joke, tell her a story, flirt, or try to kiss her. There is an end to the game, the growing or shrinking heart should give you an idea as to how your doing.
SPOILER ALERT *** SPOILER ALERT ***

Hint for those having a tough time (for Amanda only)
Amanda - Joke, Inquire, Flirt, Story, Kiss

Great take on the theme, however!
I did really badly, then I ended up with some handsome looking fella called Emilio. I'm treating this as a win, even though I have a feeling it isn't meant to be. :D
My wife says it's better that way :D
I had hoped to get much better interaction coded, so that various sayings were used (not just same ones over and over), but time killed me before I could get it done. I had a vision of a back story for each woman, that you could obtain through "wingman" tactics, or some such thing. I spent most of my time fighting with the XNA framework, just because I had never used it and this was my first time building a game. So... yeah, but I hope you liked some of the recordings, they made me laugh. I had also wished I could have made some animation on their mouths when talking, but I was not able to get poser working on female models in the time allotted.
Sorry to all for the installation problems, I used XNA, and the icon you see if the default xbox 360 controller icon. I did not intentionally use any graphics 3d settings. Obviously, I am only using simple 2d sprites. I really think a web based solution is the best, and I will investigate that for next LD competition. And thanks to all those who have downloaded and installed the XNA framework (and .net) to try my game, I do appreciate the extra effort involved, and hopefully you got a good laugh for the day!
By the way, the images are supposed to be captured during the 48 hours, for the compo.
