Match Breaker - The Hating Simulator

Check out the full song on Soundcloud :)

We are aware of some minor issues in its current state, and we plan to fix them after the voting results are in. Thank you for taking the time to try our project out!!

CONTROLS:

Left, Right, Up, and Down Arrows on your keyboard correspond to the arrows in game. 

ESC to pause. 

Left click to interact.

GAMEPLAY:

You are playing as Anti-Cupid, a bartender set on ruining a series of dates that a patron is about to embark on. Using the arrow keys, match the inputs in order to decrease the potency of your love beverages in order to ensure the dates go poorly. There are two types of arrows that can appear:

Green arrows (shown above) are the correct arrows to input, as that is how you can remove the love effects from the drink.

Pink arrows (shown above) are the incorrect arrows to input, as that will increase the potency of the love beverages and allow the dates to maintain their interest.

The meter, sharing the same colors as the arrows, serve as a reference as to how well/poorly the date is going. As the date saboteur, you want the meter to go entirely green! The characters might also behave differently based on your gameplay, so keep an eye out for how they change. 

This sticky note holds valuable information as to what ingredients you can add to serve less favorable beverage to your patrons. Drinks are served automatically upon completion; no need to worry about actually serving to your customers.

Depending on your success, one of two things can happen. If you are successful in ruining the date, Orion's date will leave, a new character will take their place, and the game continues. If you are unsuccessful, the two will have found love which will result in a loss. Do your best to ruin all three dates in a row!
