Honestly, bar any "crush crush but guys edition" comment I could make, this game really is a whole step down compared to crush crush. It feels like the devs have wisened up to how they can squeeze a couple extra dollars out of whoever pays just based on how hard it is to get time slots, diamonds and boosts, and the limit to the effectiveness of boosts as well. This game is just crush crush but with guys and way more hungry to dig into your wallet. Of course if you have the patience and want a cute little idle game to play, then this game does have that going for it.
I wish I could give this a 0*. I only played through this because friends asked me to and also gave me cheats and this game is not worth shit holy fuck.
Also everything felt extremely offensive and it was painfully obvious this game was made for straight women but JFC this game is so fucking full of stereotypes I would rather die than play this game again.
I already felt like I was wasting so much of my time playing it with cheats which made me able to finish it within a day, I cannot genuinely imagine trying to fucking play this game in it’s original intended way AKA by taking 3 real life years to complete.
Please just go yank your chain to something else even Paint Girl and West Sweety is better than this dog shit.

better than crush crush, although admittedly crush crush isn't, like. good. considerably better art, better gameplay loops, some actual sense of accomplishment when you rank up a character besides 'ok! now click the date button 45 times. it's the exact same resource investment it was ten character levels ago but you have to hit MORE BUTTONS', which is what kills crush crush for me.
i am not saying blush blush is GOOD but it's like. definitely more playable by a good margin. you're not playing this for the plot you're playing it because you want an anime boy idle dating sim and markiplier is also there. still wants your money real bad & is fucking obsessed with running 7 day events.
it's crush crush 2: better and with marginal soul. the improved art does help a lot. however it's still fucking crush crush and without the multipliers you get on mobile, the gameplay loop very quickly becomes fucking agonizing

the gameplay loop is fine, i enjoy that well enough. i downloaded it honestly because i thought it would be a fun idle game and i could look at some decently attractive men in the process but honestly it just ended up pissing me off.
the writing is horrendously annoying. i know this is personal preference, but my personal preference is not this. there were a couple good gags, but otherwise the characters repeat the same 5 lines per relationship rank and it gets old fast. also, the designs are uninspired at best - they share basically zero characteristics with their animal forms other than eye and hair colour. you really made the wolf guy a skinny white twink who wears pristine dress shirts? really? at least three of the characters look near identical and at least two DRESS identically.
then there's the pegasus, eli. he is literally a homophobic stereotype, and i don't accuse writers of this lightly. it's actually genuinely offensive. you can really tell from the get-go that this was made for straight women and not gay men and it's incredibly unsettling to play as a gay man.
anyway, bad game! do not recommend. make something interesting with this gameplay loop and maybe i'll come back.

i hate my itch for idle/incremental games. it has such unbearable dialogue. the fact that it has characters based off real people is... okay if done with consent but it's established some haven't and the fact that there's nsfw dlc of this game... just a bad combo. i would get nimh out of there but not even he is worth salvaging
