I've "lost" all 3 dates I've been on so far =(

pay attention to the amount of moves, and what each girl prefers. also, collecting hearts will add to your multiplier.

Once you get more hunie make sure you keep adding perks to your character so you get more for each icon in the mini game.

Yeah, upgraded some traits, and finally finished a date.
Yay!

go play some bejewled blitz for practice, it's never taken me more than 5 mintues lol.

Yeah, definitely it can be easy for me when I get into the "zone", but still it feels like it requires a lot of luck and you basically can't brain freeze that much while looking for new matches. I'm pissed though that I have to do the date puzzle again because I quit earlier on the sex puzzle, even though those date puzzles with Venus have been quite easy for me to complete. I'll just be happy once I "defeat" Venus. I'm not even going to bother going through another play through as a female. -_-

Just played the damn game for about six hours. What the hell is wrong with me?

The puzzle aspect is actually pretty addictive. Soundtrack is great too.

Me (to Jessie): What do you do for work
Jessie: I'm an... actress. I make very special movies for my fans.

So I'm nearly done with the game (10/12 girls), so here are some overall thoughts.

The dating mecahnics are non-existance, there's a "dating progresion" which is basically they as a way to motivate the player to reach the the "nigh scenes" but there was no actual dating mechanics to speak off.

This goes hand to hand with the lack of dialogue, what little the game had was great (in an amusing way), but outside of the very start the game lacks dialogue or scenes. There's not even an "end story" for each girl outside of the sex scene.

Maybe unexpectadly, but the puzzle mechancis are really what keeps the game going, the dating does help to give the player a goal and keep moving forwards, but if the puzzle sections weren't enjoyable there would be no point for that.

And for all the discussion regarding the game sexual content, I felt it was pretty hamfisted in the game, they just throw a few images at the player at the end of a puzzle with no real context.

I'm not one to mind sexual content in a game, but I can't help but feel that there was no thought in how to integrate it the game mechanics, or even bother to write context for it. It was kind of just there.

All in all, if they ever get around making a sequel, I hope they spend more time creating a proper dating system with story arcs for each characters, instead of relying on the shock of featuring sex scenes and the solid puzzle mode.

Essencially, and thanks to a friend for sumarizing my post above into the following, HuniePop is a solid puzzle game that uses a cheap gimmick to motivate its players to move onward rather than actually exploring what could actually be done with the subject material


GAF's summation of me as a boring person with no interest in anything is woefully lacking in detail >.>

Well I'm sure you have interest in a lot of things, like Chrono Trigger, I'm just somewhat surprised you'd be playing this game out of all others!

This is a fact, she has some of the best voice work too.

She felt like the most "human" of all the characters presented, even if she did had some questions that felt very out of character, such as asking the player the size of her chest.

I do wish they had filtered this type of questions per character and made sure not every girl asked the same questions, very lazy writing there.

Audrey was probably the most amusing of girls though, and she felt extremely consistent in all her dialogue.

Me (to Jessie): What do you do for work
Jessie: I'm an... actress. I make very special movies for my fans.
Huniebee (Jessie's Occupation): Porn Star

That reminds me of a piece of dialogue which happens when you take her in a date to the aquapark.

Jessia:
I used to come here with my daugther. When she was still young.

What an odd thing to say during a date.

I bought and played this game for far too long last night. The puzzles are very addicting.

But I have a question for everyone. Has anyone found a reason to feed anyone? Since you can always advance time and try again, I haven't found a situation where it seemed worth spending the munie. Anything I'm missing?

Well, if you spent money on alcohol it might be worth to buy food to keep talking instead of moving forward.

But overall you're correct, there's not much motivation.

I can't believe I just played this for the past 8 hours. There goes my leveling in FFXIV today. =\

I can't tell which activity would be a worst waste of time =p

Well all gaming honestly is a "waste of time." :D

Was I the only one bothered by Beli having really long hair during the "night puzzle" but short hair right before and after?

I imagine it was a mistake since Beli used to feature long hair in the early screens.

Well all gaming honestly is a "waste of time." :D

Sure thing, just some more than others :p

Indeed, I like many things.

Including things where I can forget about life and how much it sucks and all of the horrible things in it, and actually pretend that things might occasionally work out for me every once in a while >.>

See, I'm puzzled by how they keep interchanging math and physic with her.
Not really the same thing.
Some professors may know the basics to teach the introductory courses in other similar subjects. Seeing as she is a substitute, it is not farfetched to think she is covering for a peer in another department.

Anyone got her ratemyprofessor, I got a chili pepper for her.

Yeah, I got something for her too >.>

But, yeah, covering intro Physics and Calculus courses would probably be fairly typical
 
Patch is up on steam:

Please update to the latest version of HP within Steam!
The speed at which the pleasure meter drains during the bedroom bonus round has been tweaked. It no longer gets faster the farther you are in the game and on "Easy Mode" the speed has been knocked down a bit in general.
Beli remembers her own height now.
Fixed bug where Nikki thought she was at the Cafe while leaving the bedroom.
Fixed bug where using the "Compact Mirror" date gift under certain conditions could freeze the game.
A couple of spelling errors were corrected.
I've attempted to fix some of the screen resolution issues a few players are having, but it's hard to say for sure since I can't reproduce them myself.

Thank god, the drain in the bedroom levels gets just plain ridiculous.
 
Why would people want it to be shorter...

mainly for later runs for munie, late in the game, it drains so fast that it is more luck based than anything else. I hear it might be a problem with my setup as the drain is supposedly worse on 120hz mode as it's tied to framerate, but I haven't confirmed that.

It is super weird that the cgs Ryan released of the girls doing things together (Halloween party, dancing, etc) never made it into the game. Are they not included even as some kind of extra?

"What is true love to you?"
"True love is something you build between two people with effort and time"
"Er okay"

Sometimes Beli really reminds me too much of my ex.

Those CG's only served to create illusions of actual interactions between the girls =(
