What is Love by been
This is our mash-up of a Brawler/Dating Sim. It didn't quite turn out how we expected and we ended up creating a brawler which leads into a dating sim, but there's a few lessons to be learned there.
When rating, please note that the main backing music for most of the game was not created by us and should not be considered when rating for audio.
Change log
I'd made a last-minute change before the final upload and somehow killed the main title screen, and didn't notice it last night. Done a quick update (after the deadline admittedly) to put it back, and also reset your health after winning/losing the game.
Turns out that everyone but me is encountering a bug on the initial date screen where it loads up all the default dropdown menu options when it shouldn't display anything. I think it should be fixed now.

Keep working and making nice things, videogames need more love and dialectical battles : )
Thank you for your effort and your game ^^
It would have been interesting to see the two genres mixed a bit more, but it is a good work nevertheless.
Although--I think those pickup lines would've worked on me. Because they were hilarious.
