1) I like pretty much everything. It's "an idle dating sim" so I can pretty much play it as much or as little as I want in a day. Plus, having little contests with my husband is fun. "Oh, what's YOUR reset bonus? How far are you? Your game glitched and gave you the event completion for free?!" Lol 2) I love outfits and I would love new girls. And maybe the opportunity to help design new ones? 3) heck yes I've thrown money at the game. Please, Sad Panda! Take my money! I bought the Sad Panda Pass (so worth it AND it made my husband jelly and he bought it too) and, of course $20 worth of diamonds lol 4) I LOVE breaking of the 4th wall and cultural references. And puns. All the puns. I don't love...... hmmm..... other than small glitchy things (which come with the territory of a working game) I don't really think there's anything I dislike. 5) oh man. If you guys started producing figurines, I'd be screwed. That's my weakness! Lol. But merch in general would be freaking sweet! 6) Game Grumps, yo! And I also play HuniePop and I was in need of another super awesome game to play and support. 7) I know there's no 7th question but I wanted to just say that I love you guys as a game developer. You guys are so so so sensitive to customer needs. I did a hard reset after buying the Panda Pass. Did you have to give me my bonus diamonds back? No. Did you? Yes. And that makes me want to support you all the more. Keep up the great work and I look forward to new updates as well as your upcoming games!
1 the story 2 new events sound cool af 3 I got some gems for time boost then bought a 20$ pack for outfits when i beat the game 4 It does get slow near the end but i think its part of the exp I can put this down for a bit and let things build then come back when i remember 5 I dont know but i would like a little more personal time with the girls so it can show who is your waifu or something like that 6Steam iirc and i like time killer games and cute girls who wouldnt
1. I enjoy the different take on an idle clicker, that and I'm pretty sure there's only a few of them around. Sakura Clicker was just a waste :( 2. Giant Amazonian bears! *Cough* I like the idea of the events. So far I think the 24 hour to find an item was by far the best event so far. However maybe something with a basic mini game for the next event might be nice. A great idea was in Shark Dating XL; where as you go through the story you earn pachinko balls, then depending on how well you do you'll get a better ending/ lewd content. 3. Yep, bought diamonds before the outfits became a thing, plus bought the last event picture/ outfit for Quill. However other than the speed boosts, they're just sitting there... Looking at me with shame. 4. The sheer number of waifus is great, as is the story. As for dislikes is probably the fact that you'll probably have to cheat towards the end. I've been at it since the steam launch and I'm only half way through Karma and Sutra D: 5. Not really sure, probably more outfits/ pictures. Then again buy with diamonds or real money is the bigger question. 6. Found it on Steam's upcoming list. I never knew about Kongregate or Nutaku if it wasn't for Crush Crush.
1.the character 2.new girls/outfits 3.gems for magic candy or the other costly gifts 4.after you reach lover level you just ditch the girl for the next lol cassie being my fav you leave her so soon :( 5.maybe add a features where you can go to your house and decorate the interior each girl has their own room n stuff 6.saw it on steam store liked the art style
1. What do you like best about the game? The variety of girls, the artwork, and the easy gameplay (e.g. no quick-time events, no need for deep thinking) 2. What gets you excited (i.e. new events, new girls, other?) New girls. The events so far haven't been to my taste, frankly. 3. Have you spent money in the game? If so, on what? Spent money on diamonds only. 4. What do you like and dislike in the game? I confess that I use an autoclicker to play, I think I would not have played for so long otherwise, once the feeling of progression tapers off in the late game. I like the variety of girls and things to do, and I like to read the dialogue. The complexity of the game (number of things to keep track of and optimise) is almost perfect for me. I like to just open the game at the end of the day and spent a few minutes maintaining the momentum, rather than anything more involved. 5. What do you want to do and be able to buy? I'm fine with the gameplay mechanics as it is, but it might be cool to buy minigames with the girls, e.g. buying a beach ball for any girl unlocks a Pikachu Volleyball-game with her, with maybe a nice pic shown for a win. 6. How did you discover Crush Crush and what made you try it? Recommended by Steam as being similar to HuniePop, and since I liked HuniePop I gave it a try. Being free to play made it an easy decision.
I would like to spend some money for that NSFW season pass thing but it only allows credit cards for payment, not bankcontact at all :c whiiich kinda makes me sad :c
1. What do you like best about the game? Writing, art (you and Oji panda are just amazing), and the dating sim aspect of the game, the rest is kind of a pain, esp. if you don't pay, and physical if you don't use an autoclicker. 2. What gets you excited (i.e. new events, new girls, other?) Most of all I just want the story to go much, much, much more in depth than it has so far, I don't think there's any pressing need for more girls at the moment, oufits are nice, but they only go so far. I love the girls, so I want to meet them again and see more of them. The voicing is exciting too, somewhere in between more story and outfits. Full body view would be a top prioity also. 3. Have you spent money in the game? If so, on what? More than I want to think about. :P I've mainly spent on boosts and outfits. Probably won't be very motivated to spend more as long as I'm on the patreon though. But probably will for new games. 4. What do you like and dislike in the game? Like above, story and art. There ends up being a lot of clicking, even with an autoclicker, and it ends up being very grindy, the reset grind ( repeatedly resetting) is probably the worst offender, it's a problem that it's never worth waiting to reset, and that 20 min speed runs are most efficient for reset boost. 5. What do you want to do and be able to buy? Not really sure about this, more games! :D Possibly DLC for more content for the game storywise, but not overlapping with later projects. 6. How did you discover Crush Crush and what made you try it? I was going over the new games on kong, looking for idle games, I found it, and thought I might as well take it for a spin.
This has been really helpful to hear your answers! Thank you so much, everyone. There's a lot of interesting bits that opened our eyes- for example, the pinups/paywall one: Sometimes it's hard to judge whether the cheese-cake content feels valuable to the players (they don't seem to buy outfits, for example) but it sounds like the pin-ups really do hold value prop. Another thing, it's not surprising to hear "I have lots of diamonds and nothing to spend them on" which we're aware of and are working on more things to offer. Lots of things are possible and we're working hard on some new content and improvements that should touch on these points, so it's kind of cool to hear confirmation that we're working on the same things you're all saying we need to work on XD Thank you so much for helping us out!
1. I like the funny dialogue, tons of references and the general timewaster that is the gameplay 2. Just new things in general. The Easter egg hunts are always pretty engaging, and new girls just add to the game entirely. 3. No, I have not. 4. The game is a very nice and simple way to kill some time. I do however have a mortal hate against the incredibly long wait times when you get to the higher levels. 5. Not so much buy as obtain, I'd like it if there were more ways to earn Diamonds. As it is right now, you get one for every first time you level up a relation level, and three for reaching lover level the first time. This means that there is a set amount of diamonds, meaning that you can't get everything without having to pay. 6. I found the game after Yandere Dec tweeted about it. Never once regrettted downloading it
Oh boy here we go. 1. The dialogue has a lot of charm, the art is cute, game has a clear end instead of going on forever. 2. I Get excited whenever I hear anything new being added, don't let this game die! lol 3. Yes, I own everything currently in the game including the panda pass with diamonds to spare. 4. For like I can go back to question 1. Only thing I disliked so far was having a pinup behind a $30 paywall lol 5. I feel like cash flow is still pretty slow even with all jobs glided (Takes week to get the magic slippers needed to complete the game with max multi) so I'd like to be able to buy more speed ups. I would also love to see more non character specific outfits I can buy so I'll have an excuse to spend more money on you guys. 6. Showed up on steam, I'm a sucker for games with cute girls.
1. What I like best about the game is the cute girls o3o, especially Alpha ;) 2. As I've finished the game on multiple platformns, there isn't really that much that excites me anymore, I guess waiting for that hard mode you guys have mentioned? 3. Yes! Spent on mostly bundles 4. I really liked the innocent part of it, although I feel like with the latest girls, and especially the Nutaku relase you've kinda driven away from that latley, but I get why as many many humans like that direction :P 5. Anything Alpha, body pillow, figure, poster, ANYTHING! 6. I randomly overlooked my friends laptop as he was on Kongregate and saw a game with cute girls in it, and decided to try it, and never went back!
IMHO it's still very innocent even with the nsfw content.
1. It’s the combination. There is no single thing that makes the game worth playing or returning to play. The art, exponential progression (clicking at first and then moving to progressing while you sleep in IRL), funny dialog, casual game play, achievements that are easy, feel satisfying but require dedication (set a calendar appointment to remind me to check once a week), (curiosity) enticement to find out what the next girl looks like and says, and developer’s engagement with fans (Steam/Patreon) keeps my interest from waning. 2. At first it was just unlocking the girls to find out what they looked like (eye candy) and what they would say. Later it was unlocking the achievements. 3. I spent money to speed things up so it wouldn’t take what felt like years to play the game or required too much time clicking the mouse. Later I spent money cause of the engagement the developers had with the fans and feeling part of the process. 4. The girls. The looks and humor and variety of the dialog. I wish the dates were a more engaging experience. 5. Date experiences with the girls even if it’s just a simple dialog tree. Maybe learning about her likes dislikes and unlocking profile information. If you mess up the dialog so no bonus you can reset to try to get the dialog right. More variety in the date images. 6. Free to play games under Anime because I played HuniePop. The eye-catching art but clicked the download because of the description of the game. “Have you been looking for a game? Well it’s been looking for you.”
IN number 5 you're basically saying you want a visual novel?
1. The reset progression, making the game faster. 2. Extending the reset bonus cap. I have the maximum bonus x2048, I have no reason to reset the game but I am still struggling to complete K&S. 3. I have spent a little money on speed multiplier. Not quite enough though: I still have 29 days untill I reach rank 75, complete K&S and hopefully unlock the last characters. 4. I dislike the fact that some characters are behind a paywall: I will soon complete K&S but I had to pay a bit and carefully manage my free diamonds. I do not expect to complete the last characters. I expect them to ask me to reset my run, which I have been running for months. I like the progression and management, I had most of my fun when I was optimizing my grind for reset multiplier. 5. Buy a reset multiplier limit increase, that would be cheaper than the time multiplier and reduce the time multiplier maximum, but that would let me grind for a gain. 6. I used to play on Kongregate, I abandonned the game and restarted on Nutaku.
1. The variety of girls. 2. New girls 3. Skipping events, costume bundles 4.Like - the dialog and diversity of girls 4.Dislike - late game feels like I'm just AFK farming money to gift mystic slippers to make any meaningful progress on Karma/Sutra even with high reset multipliers. 5.Maybe more date situations. Maybe date images changing as the relationship rank up (to something maybe lewder). Maybe also dates recognizing certain scenarios like some dates acknowledging you took your date out completely naked (Movie Theatre). 6.Found on Steam as a free dating sim.
1. What do you like best about the game? - The costumes in my opinion are some of the most interesting and easter egged things I've seen. It shows the amount of time and love the developers put into the game. It also makes every character unique and different. There is a bit more character in their clothing. 2. What gets you excited (i.e. new events, new girls, other?) - I love the feeling of reaching milestones in the game. Sometimes it's a long arduous journey to get to 100% with a girl and the different tasks or requirements are fun to just go through. Especially with friends. Just talking about your progression or road blocks is a lot of fun. And reading the dialogue's placed to know what these girls are thinking is very enjoyable and humorous. 3. Have you spent money in the game? If so, on what? - I have spent money on the Season pass and I think it is very much worth it in the long run especially since I want to play more of the games you have coming out. 4. What do you like and dislike in the game? - I like how easy and fun it is to play with friends. I play with another friend on discord and we compare how far we progressed. Our favorite girls, jobs we are doing, etc. - I don't really have any areas I dislike at the moment. Maybe that Ayano is so high on the skill tree on her final branch but that's it honestly. 5. What do you want to do and be able to buy? - Honestly I'm looking forward the the updates you mentioned earlier this year as well as some of the new games you have been promoting on your site. I love playing your games :) 6. How did you discover Crush Crush and what made you try it? - I was going through steam looking for a game where I can play it while doing other things as well. It was the perfect match in heaven XD
1. Girls 2. New girls and new events in that order 3. Yes, multiplicator bonus, the last event and every single outfit 4. Love the atmopheres of the game. The music the colours and of course the girls (pamu best girls!! :3) For the dislike, the fact that I have everything unlocked so not much to do =/ 5. New girls and outfits :3 6. Nutaku. The colorfullness of the game and chara design caught my eyes and I then liked the gameplay. (simple but efficient imo)
(I'm sorry if I have duplicate comments, Patreon seems to have crapped out on my first post.) 1. (Insert obligatory gushing about Fumi here.) 2. The potential for new girls and the upcoming visual novel. 3. Maxing the speed and reset boosts, gilding the jobs and hobbies, every outfit for every girl (including the unique outfits for Mio and Quill), and the special event images. I am now at the point where I have around 800 diamonds with nothing to spend them on. 4. See #1, but also the simple fact that an idle dating sim exists and the NSFW material. The only things I'm upset about are that now that I've completed the game, there isn't much motivation to keep going back (with the exception being a new girl/event and the eventual voice acting). I also wasn't really happy with the ending(s). 5. Someday I would like to buy dakimakuras of all my favorite girls, even though I know that won't be for a long time. An in-game example would be more outfits (hopefully including the final girls someday). 6. I discovered this game in Kongregate's idle section. My interest in idle games, boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing, and having recently played HuniePop got me to play this game. That was a year and a half ago, and I'm still here.
1. The dialogues 2. New girls / more dialogues / Easter eggs 3. Yes, the Christmas outfit recharge event 4. I like the variety of girls, I dislike bearverly 5. Not anything specific but maybe just more content to mess around with. 6. Me and a friend found it on steam back during the beta and it sounded amazing xD
