This game is, in our opinion, better than the other apps in the App Store, which are honestly not that good, so the bar isn't set the high for games for couples. We are a married heterosexual couple, in case that helps others.
We like that the game is not "all about sex," and, instead, also has a focus on connecting with the one you love. You can set how "hot" you are now, and how "hot" you want to be. So, if both parties chose, for example, a lower setting of where they wanted to be, such as "cold," then you won't advance to more sexually suggestive material. So, you can control, to some degree, how sexual the game will be. Like another reviewer, my wife became a little emotional while playing the game, since the "lower" levels of gameplay (like "cold" or under) focus more on non-sexual items, such as what you noticed about the other person when you first met, which is touching and emotional.
I do have several suggestions to make the game better:
1) After purchasing some land, when you can choose to build, implement a "done" button. Right now, you have to click outside the window once you've made your selection. This isn't intuitive.
2) Add the ability to add various clothing options that aren't in the list. My wife and I both wear socks to bed during the cold months, but socks isn't on the list of articles of clothing worn. This got me thinking that there should be a way to add ANY article of clothing not on the list. In addition to this, add "socks" to the clothing list!
3) When selecting from the list of "props" available, such as various toys, a button down shirt, etc., there is an item that is always selected..."personal lubricant." This item cannot be unchecked. I'm assuming this is a lubricant you buy at the store. If so, why can't we UNCHECK this item?? Please add the ability to uncheck this item. It seems silly that this would refer to lubrication made by our bodies and, therefore, should be an item you can deselect.
4) Add more actions to the game. We've played the game only a few times, and we're already seeing items that we saw in the first couple of games we've played. Add more variety and make the app perform in such a way that you won't see suggestions that have been provided already unless ALL suggestions in that category (i.e., ice, cold, hot, etc.) have bee used already. Even in the same game my wife was given a task that was, essentially, the same as another task earlier in the game. This makes the game repetitive, boring and a bit frustrating.
The app has certainly given my wife and I something else we can do in our alone time, and something positive at that. However, the app really needs to implement the basic updates I've mentioned in this review. I honestly feel I've been generous with the stars I've provided, considering that these basic items are, in my opinion, integral to having a "great" app, especially at a $12 ticket, regardless of how that fares to the cost of "movie tickets" as touted in the advertisement. Hopefully we'll see updates to make this an "outstanding" app.
