I'm glad you deal with the negative comments so well. Never fun to read them when you feel like they're personally directed towards you.
Cheers! Yeah dude, people are always going to be negative about stuff, especially about important things like the issue this game addresses. There's not a lot you can do about it, so it can be awesome to just have fun with them ^_^

More socially conscious art than game. :) I honestly think increasing the difficulty would cause players to spend more time in the game and hence more time to reflect on the game's messages. Only levels 2/3 were somewhat challenging, thereafter it's such a breeze it's tempting to ignore the artistic side.

My husband shared the message of this game with me when we were driving home from the store. I was so touched by it. I am a huge supporter of the LBGT community and have told my friends about this game as well. What a heart warming and sweet message. Thank you for being an advocate for all kinds of love and for making the world a better and more loving place in such a way that others can appreciate. You're an awesome group and i support you all. May the Divine bless all your ventures.

Cute little game I liked it, and I agree with the message! Love is love and people do concentrate way to much on who the couple consists of rather than the love they have for each other :)

This was such a cute game! ♥ I really liked it. ^_^
I think that people who choose to judge love are idiots. IT'S LOVE PEOPLE. What can they do about it anyways? You can't just stop it or something.

Loved everything about this game. I was so pleased with how well received, overall, it has been. Thank you for something truly lovely to lighten the atmosphere here.

This is a game with neither challenging nor revolutionary gameplay, but it sure does make up for it with a concept that makes sense and more people need to accept.

Thanks for this. I can tell you that most of the prejudice addressed in this game won't be standing with any sort of legal power by the end of my lifetime. I see it in my students -- each year, they are more and more tolerant, even here in the heart of Dixie.
Excellent to hear! It's natural progression, eventually everyone will be universally tolerant of everyone. Even in history, there's been class repression, women's rights, slavery, race rights, all sorts of things. Slowly but surely all these cases of prejudice are worn away as people realize how stupid discrimination is. Thanks so much for playing and commenting :)

Enjoyed it. Simple concept, subject matter and puzzles both got me thinking. Its sometimes nice to have a game that uses the gameplay to support the narrative, rather than vice versa. Both types of games have their place ;)

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 ^_^

This game was beautiful.
As a gay man myself, it's been hard. I haven't had as much ridicule and harassment as some, but I've still had my fair share. And I just don't understand it. I'm just looking for that one person that makes me feel truly special. That makes me feel like I'm worth something to someone.
So why do people hate me for that?

I respect your right to choose your relationships (read; freedom of choice/opinion), but several things I would like to point other, for every person who agrees with same gender relationships, there are two other people, one who disagrees, and one who agrees, but doesn't want it around their children (read; in public.)
I am tired of people acting like it's wrong to be anti-homosexual and flaming anyone who is, hypocrisy.
That said, I do not believe romantic love can truly exist between same-genders, and I am entitled to that belief. (Two-way street, I say.)
If you can't be civil, then please don't PM me, if you can, good for you.
Nothing wrong with having an anti-gay opinion, just so long as you don't get in the way of civil liberties of other folks. Not liking gays? That's totally kosher. Those anti-gay shouting rallies? Not cool. So yeah dude, feel free to have your opinion, that's awesome! I SINCERELY hope you change your opinion ;) But only you can actually DO that.

Fear is what keeps us separate. From our birth we have been taught what is dangerous, what harms us, what can destroy our future as we'd want it. It is our knowledge of those obstacles that we have fear for there could be a chance for them to block us from what we think is our best future. The unknown future makes us uncertain, yet it is certainty that we need to know what's best.
So we try to predict the future, by creating patterns, so that we can get a vision of how things work so we are ready whenever an obstacle is coming. Problem is, we can't predict the future as it just is unpredictable. So again.. uncertainty and fear...
..
but... When did I talk about love again?
I love love LOVE seeing comments like this on my games. Shows that people are really -thinking- about stuff. Uncertainty and fear are major players in love, so in a sense the whole comment was about love ;)

When I first started playing the game, I planned on leaving a nasty comment in regards to the fact that this game that was supposed to represent all love only included a male and a female couple. But then I played the game, and want to thank you for doing a great job at truly encapsulating love in all its forms.

I clicked on this game because it looked like a simple cute puzzle game. I had no idea I was going to get such a beautiful message and something very close to my heart (no pun intended). Thank you for sharing!

A bit of constructive criticism for you. A few more levels would have been nice as well as levels ordered in difficulty (yes I know it would kind of butcher the delivery of your message, but if you could find a way without going against your message it would appreciate it). While you suggest at the end of the game that people should replay to complete things in as few steps as possible there really is no local 'high score' table, so it's hard to tell if you are improving or not. Maybe some interesting obstacles related to the subject matter could also spice up some of the blandness (such as parents or other people, jealousy, misplaced lust, etc. Naturally they should cause some sort of penalty that can be circumvented with a varying amount of effort.) Overall in its current state, I guess good on you for making a game with a message but the later levels are too boring. 2/5, I hate to do it especially because my brother is gay, but I like a bit more challenge in my games, sorry.
Yeah man, I wanted to keep it short since it was narrative based - didn't want to make it too hard or long for people to finish (hur hur hur). Eventually I wanna release a mobile version with more levels. Too bad the game didn't agree with you, but whatever, once again thanks for playing+rating+commenting anyhow!
