Actually, now that I think about it, this match-3 date doesn't make sense and is pointless.
If the purpose of the game is to have fun while training to date girls, then shouldn't there be actual dating training?
The fun of dating sims is actually the dating part, but in this game, the dating has been completely removed in profit of a match-3 game which is off-topic with dating.
I understand that this game was inspired by Hunie Pop, but I don't think Hunie Pop makes more sense either and I never played it specifically because it was a fake dating sim since there is no actual dating gameplay in it, merely a candy crush saga disguised as a dating sim without actual dating.
I expected better from How to PUA, because you presented it as "a game which would help me improve my dating skills" but how can I improve anything if I can never practice dating in the game because all I do during dates is playing match-3, I don't actually interact with the girls during dates, how is that "dating"?? This is just as ridiculous as Hunie Pop.
If you want to make a match-3 game, then just say it is a match-3 game, don't present it as a dating sim if there is no actual dating simulation.
Tell me, how am I supposed to improve my dating skills by playing match-3? Please tell me that you are aware how ridiculous that sounds.
You even insisted on claiming that "the primary focus of this game is flirting", however the core gameplay is candy crush, tell me how this serves the purpose of emphasizing the flirting focus?
