Wow, good design, great ideas, better soundtrack, and the best responses to both positive and negative comments I have ever seen.
You, my good sir, are truly one of the most unique developers I have ever come across.
Thank you so much for the experience!
And thank YOU for the kind words and for playing! I really appreciate all the comments. Even the super negative comments prove how awesome the Kong gaming community is, because they always get downvoted into oblivion ^_^

To be honest, when I started this game, I thought "oh, another one of this mainstream girl-and-boy-are-made-for-each-other love games", which made me kind of pissed, because I´m pansexual and gender is not important to me, so it´s really getting to me how other people would blend out everything that isn´t a straight hetero-couple...
So getting to the "sir & sir"-level nearly made me cry!! You made my day a great bit better <3

Me after first two levels: "Hopefully, this gets less heteronormative." Me after 3rd level: "OK, I was wrong... and awww." Me further along: "Awwww... AWWWWW... AWWWWWWWWWWW... AWESOME." I LOVE the message here, and the game itself is fun too! Happy Valentine's Day, and thank you for this.

I couldn't stop crying after this game. Really great stuff. Better than any book or any speech I have heard in any church or any gathering. Thank you Kranggames.

Overall, I enjoyed the game and respect the developer for having the guts to put out bold social commentary. The only recommendation I'd have is to keep the hearts closer together on the later levels. It can be visually disconcerting to try and watch all of them simultaneously (last level looks fine though). Makes me wish I had chamelon eyes.

I think that this game is awesome. Almost all people in my school think calling someone gay/bisex/lesbian/et cetera is insulting, and to be honest, I don't understand why, even though I'm straight. This game also shows how stupid it is to think only man/woman love is acceptable. Nice message, a not too difficult game, and none of the frustration almost all games have today. Fantastic job. :,)
Cheers dude, appreciate the comment! It sucks when people use gay as a pejorative, and think it's a bad thing. It's really not. Share this game around with your classmates if you want, maybe you can open a few minds ;) (Or if your school has a "cool teacher", show it to him/her! Cool teachers totally dig this progressive kinda stuff! :D )

Really amazing and a beautiful concept, it's too bad not everyone has the same views. Way to stand up for your beliefs

loved the concept! it's always nice to see open mind people. a game that has no prejudice and support the love in all ways is an example for the real life and all its problems. if I could I'd give 100/5 xD

I'm sure I would love this game if I could get past the first level. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to freeze when I get both hearts into the repository

I liked the game from the beginning, but I absolutely got hooked when I saw the first Sir and Sir screen! I enjoy simple genderless or at least LGBT+ inclusive games about love and this is one of the better ones!

I can only imagine how brave the developer must be, for releasing an openly pro-gay game into a community infested with homophobes. Whether you agree with him or not, you have to give him credit for that.
Thank you :) Overall I'm really excited with how well the community received this game. You guys on Kong are awesome, and ESPECIALLY kudos to Kongregate itself for FEATURING this game, complete with a badge and award! Such an amazing portal :)

I find it funny that everyone has lit up their keyboard making comments about sir and sir but no one has said a thing about madam and madam, was it too difficult for you to keep moving the two blue hearts to discover that the next level was madam and madam? Or is it just simply double standards? Social relations and perceived implications aside, as a puzzler it reminded me of hello worlds and would have been nice with a few more levels as the levels included are very good.

I, for one, feel the country would be a better place if people didn't keep trying to get in the way of my right to limit the rights of others. I'm, like, being oppressed.

I don't often rate a game. Considering that, I don't often rate a game well. Considering that as well, I don't often favorite a game. Considering all these things, I don't often comment about doing all these things for a game. I am pleased to say that this game has received all these things from me because it deserves these things, and I know how good it is to know that you've made this world a little brighter at least for one person :)
Man, I'm extremely glad you did decide to rate/rate well/favorite/comment this game. Knowing I've impacted your world in a good way IS an amazing feeling, thank you for letting me know :)

funny how some people try to justify their homophobia, hatred, discrimination like it's natural, rational and appropriate, but always with ridiculous and illogical statements. it's ok if you're not on the politically correct side, but hate speech along with misleading information or fallacies only makes you more shameful.

As I was reading the introduction to the first level, I was thinking "Oh, great, of course he had to label the guy blue and the girl pink... Great :|" I almost quite upon finishing level two.
When level 3 popped up, my jaw dropped. I then smiled, and kept doing it until the very ended, where it turned into a grin. I nearly teared up...
Thank you. Thank you for your kind message and your support. People like you give me hope, hope that one day I will not be discriminated against. Thank you so much! <3
Yay! Thank you for playing til level three, and thus the ending! :D You're so welcome, I'm extremely happy to hear this game had such a profound effect on you. Remember - you are awesome :)

The first level.. when I unify them both, the game doesn´t move. No next level, I have to refresh only to restart and have he exact same issue. Anyone else?

Sometimes Sir has to exchange monetary compensation for Madam's love. (Collect little dollar sign before entering the hole) Where was THAT level? LOL.

The imagery is simple but evocative, the morals sweet and the gameplay enjoyable. My critique is on the written sections;i feel you could be more subtle. People always say to show, not tell when telling a story, and i think that applies to videogames. Although some of the story parts are necessary, many could be gleaned from the gameplay, or don't need to be repeated when gameplay makes the facts clear. I feel a gamer is more likely to have an emotional response to a work if they are more free to assign meaning themselves.
That aside, it's a really nice idea executed pretty well. So Kudos!
That's a really well thought out review, thank you! You're actually looking at the 3rd or 4th revision of the game's dialog, I tried it with a more minimal story but a lot of people vastly misinterpreted it, didn't even get the point I tried to make. Ultimately, I decided to make the point clear, but not intensely so - the story is in sync with the gameplay. It's not a supplement to it, nor does it trump it.
Anyway, thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
