I looked over some of your games and dicided to leave a comment on pure winter love, but my comment got longer than 1000 characters ^{^
So it becomes a shout on your profile.
First of all I am not a girl ^}
Furthermore i liked kiss dolls ages ago, so i was kind of happy to discover your games at the beginning. After “playing” some of them I feel the need to encourage and advise you.
Following some thoughts on Pure winter love:
It is a nice idea to have a theme for dress up dolls. But just naming the game and adding some corresponding backgrounds is not enough. I don’t want to comment on your account name ^{^ I am sure you had no intentions in hurting any feelings or offending anyone, but i am sure you will agree that noone will be satisfied with your games as they are over a longer period of time ( took me 120 seconds to get bored – no hard feelings =) ) unaffected of age or gender.
I would have made the game more like a story or a visual novel.
A small intro ( just text would be enough for starters ) about how they decide to date ( or even how they met and fell in love ) then changing the setting to the girls or boys room/cabinet (different colorthemes at least or backgrounds – think about adding small details if making seperate bgs is to much work like stuffed animals or poster for example to make clear the protagonists are at home and they don’t live together) add some monologues like “what should i wear … oh i am soooo nervous” to add some atmosphere ;)
Later on personally i would change the timeline of the date.
Background 1 how they meet up at a park – editing the protagonist models to blushing, some happy dialogues, story goes on ….
Background 3 how they skate on the ice ,a must do for winter dates ^} – adding fixed skates to the models instead of choosen shoes/boots or whatever
Background 2 the happy ending with the kiss scene at sunset

As it is i voted 2/5 to be fair, but i like your idea. Keep going and developing your skills. I know it might be a bigger workload but i am content the player and you as developer will be far more satisfied.

I liked the backgrounds, they were kind of cute.
I disliked the music. Would be appropiate for a wedding theme but its way off for pure love – just my opinion – i would have prefered something way lighter.
As you can see just some small changes would give the whole game a totally different feeling and would remove the tag “just for kids”.
To make it clear I neither do have the knowledge nor the time to make games on my own, so think of my shout as a fanmail and wishlist^^
Keep going – I will be watching your games :)

P.S.: I choose the visual novel/story style because i wanted to show that even a small amount of effort would make your games more memorable in a positive way. But to be honest even that would not be enough to get a voting better than 3/5 or 4/5 with a really touching storyline from me. Dress Up dolls are fine but as almost everyone might agree with me its kind of outdated and mostly something for kids. To get a 5/5 from me i would expect a real game for adults or for-ever-kids-adults^^
Something like a dating-simulation, with interaction possiblitys depending on choosen style. Might be hard to make but i think giving numbers to colors and getting bonuses corresponding on color harmony as teached in art classes all over the world and so on might be a way to make it more challenging. Or classifiing some models – some thing like malus for overdressing at work or a party. A shop to buy/unlock new accessoires or dresses/ or even secret characters. Maybe a dating sim played as girl first and later as boy where you get to know what the protagonist you are playing right know is thinking and always dressing up inbetween =)
Just some thoughts …

Seriously, I feel offended too. Why are girls being stereotyped? Even when I was younger, I prefered games that were…well, fun. Also, why can’t a boy like games like these? This just seems absolutely sexist, especially when there are so many gamer girls who are trying to hard to get RID of this idiotic stereotype.

I agree the rayachidon: the kids who would play these games are NOT on Kongregate. In fact, “AwsomeGiggles,” the user a few shouts before me who claimed to love these, was permanently banned for being UNDERAGE.

Please stop conforming to a stereotype or rename your company!
