  If you have played HuniePop, you have played this one. Holy shit what a ripoff.

  Dating, MMO style. Story: In the future, an incredibly popular virtual MMO game has been taken over the world and a majority of people have created avatars to play and meet other people and of course date them. You play as a new user, who has joined the game to meet someone with the help of an expert matchmaker. The story of Adorable Crush is basically what you might expect from a Hentai porn game. It's an absurd tale and makes barely any sense and has someone genuinely hilarious writing, which made me laugh out loud. So of course don't expect anything groundbreaking. Graphics: Visually the art style is absolutely great and 100% the best part of the game. Nice character designs, varied environments with multiple variations for the time of day and very vibrant and colorful design. It's usually where most of the work goes into and it definitely shows that there was no slouching here. I think the only negative I can give is that the overworld map is incredibly ugly and cramped. Just the menu design is very annoying to look at and will make you confused, because there usually isn't any indication what's the point of any of the icons, you just sort of have to learn yourself. Audio: Nothing really of particular note here with this game with the audio design. The music has that cheer-y stock feel to it, that although not particularly interesting provides some nice background noise while you're matching blocks. Other sound effects sound fine enough like you scoring points etc, but not anything of note. There is some voice acting in the game, but it is in Japanese. I can't really tell if any of it is good or not, cause I don't speak the language, but I can say that the audio for the dialogue is horrible and sounds like it's constantly popping. The mixing could have definitely used some work across the board here, with popping happening even with other sound effects and music, rarely, but still. Gameplay: So the gameplay of Adorable Crush is a match-3, visual novel hybrid and in the match-3 each block does different things, like corresponding to likes and dislikes of the girls, which you learn through the visual novel moments of the game. So you talk to each girl and you learn more about them, both their avatars and their real life counterparts. So once you learn more about them, you have to play the Match-3 segments with that in mind trying to collect as many blocks that they like, while avoiding the ones that they dislike or the ones that remove your progress. You also have limited moves so you have to be incredibly strategic in these moments of the game. There is outside help like items you can give to the girls to make the game slightly easier on yourself, but I found it to be rather unhelpful and it wound up making me lose money. Like for example getting girls drunk is supposed to make the date "more fun" yet when giving them their preferred type of booze I didn't notice any difference. The visual novel parts are actually pretty fun and funny too (although if intentionally or not, I don't know) as you have to remember what they tell you, cause they will quiz you. The match 3 segments range in quality purely due to the difficulty, sometimes the RNG makes them so absurdly easy you can finish most of it, without doing anything and other times you can't even win playing incredibly strategically. Also the game has tons of bugs one of which soft locks the entire game immediately if you do things the way the game doesn't want you which is incredibly stupid. Although there's not many bugs after that one, there is still some random issues that appear from time to time. Verdict: As far as HuniePop clones go, you can do way worse than Adorable Crush. The game is really fun, with great art style and funny writing and on a sale this game is incredibly cheap, so if you wanted more games like HuniePop, then definitely delve in the world of Adorable Crush. Final Rating: 7/10 Pros: + Fun mix of match 3 and visual novel + Great art style + Really funny writing from time to time Cons: - Audio mixing is pretty bad at times - Difficulty ranges from incredibly easy to impossible at random - Some bugs that lock you out of playing If you liked this review please consider joining https://steamcommunity.com/groups/completingthebacklog and https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ImperialReviews

  I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

  HuniePop with less girls though i feel the arts better here. there are 5 girls with 2 "videos" the first will break down into 3 pics but the 2nd will break down into 4 pics so you get 7 animated or still pics for each girl though there's only really 2 pics in various stages of undress. talk to girls to find out things about them so they can ask you about them later for affection. you can also buy them things they like. you can also date them where you go into a match 3 game but in here you can drag stuff all the way across the board as long as its in a strait line. you can also buy/use items. each girls will like and dislike different icons but once you complete a date you'll get a heart. each girls has 5 hards and will send you sexy pixs/vids but one you have 5 hearts with a girl you and complete a date at night you'll get some sexy time with them. here you'll play match 3 again but as you make matches a bar will slowly fall. you have to complete this bar before it completely empties. if you liked HuniePop or match 3 games you'll like this.

  This satisfies my HuniePop cravings, and makes my kitty very wet :3

  It's well worth the price. The art style isn't 100% for me, but that's just my taste. If you haven't played this type of game the instructions are pretty clear. Of course I would like more girls and more images, but it's good value for money. I would highly recommend if you like adult puzzle games.

  Highly recommend, with one condition. I'm a little disappointed that this is a straight up clone of Hunie Pop, right down to most of the match tokens having the same name. I wouldn't call it a rip off, because all the game assets are 100% original. That said, someone was going to straight copy Hunie Pop eventually, it is one of the top two R18 games on Steam. Mature Games makes high quality content, so I'm glad they were the ones to clone Hunie Pop if that had to happen. PROS: -Artwork is good. -Just like Hunie Pop, the social interactions with the girls are highly realistic. If you're smooth with the ladies IRL then you'll know how to answer their questions right on the 1st try. If you're not so good at talking up a date... You just might learn something. -You choose what order to unlock the date gifts. Awesomely helpful if you already played H Pop. CONS: -100% Clone of Hunie Pop. If you don't have Hunie Pop in your collection, buy that game before this. -The Cyberworld plot detracts from one of the game's main strengths. Just like Hunie Pop, one of the core strengths of this game is that the girls are so real. They are people you meet IRL. Making the plot of the game a VRMMO handicaps that strength. -The H scenes are decent, but not this publisher's best work. I have nearly 50 R18 games from Steam and only 4 or 5 of them are better than Adorable Crush, and some of those are other games by this publisher. Mature Games makes great stuff. Just support them.

  They added "Fap Mode" with their latest update, apparently it unlocks every CGs. Calm the flip down, we're not here to FAP, we're strictly here to match jewels. Sheesh...
