![]() ![]() The first thing you’ll notice when you boot up the game is that it looks – and sounds – really, really good. Designer Ryan Koons (an ex-Insomniac employee) brought on a team of supremely talented artists to help bring his filthy vision to life, and the results are plain to see. The game’s interface looks fantastic, and its puzzle visuals can easily stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Bejeweled, Tetris, and Puzzle League in terms of all-important clarity and simplicity. ![]() As for the dating sim elements, where most western takes on the anime style tend to be subtly off, HuniePop’s character portraits could give most Japanese eroge circles a run for their money. Not only are they well-drawn, they’re also animated with multiple expressions and lip-syncing to the game’s fully-voiced dialogue. The voice actresses are mostly newcomers from the sound of things (which makes sense aside from Dan Green – the star of Yu-Gi-Oh – most voiceover professionals stay away from this stuff), but their line delivery is very smooth and natural – heck, even their fake enthusiasm sounds more convincing than most of the girls I’ve dated. An infectious pop soundtrack from freelance composer Jonathan Wandag rounds out the package, imbuing scenes with a playful, happy mood. All told, these are some of the best production values I’ve seen in any adventure game, let alone a Kickstarter project.
