HuniePop



""I always felt like there was something missing in Bejeweled. Huniepop told me it was naked women. I don't disagree.""

- Steam review of the game.

HuniePop is a mix of Dating Sim, RPG and Puzzle Game released on January 19th, 2015 by Ryan Koons.

Like most games in the dating sim genre, you play some nameless, faceless H-Game POV Character who happens to be a loveless virgin, and thus the goddess of love sends out one of her love fairies named Kyu to help you out with that.

The core gameplay consists of a Bejeweled like game where various tokens have to be lined up and eliminated for enough points to max out an Affection meter. Joy tokens give extra turns, Heartbreak tokens lower the affection meter, and Sentiment tokens allow the use of special items that can mass eliminate other tokens on the board, among other effects. These game portions award "Hunie" (in game currency), which is used to buy more items and raise stats to make the puzzle sections easier.

Many artists on DeviantART, such as Kopianget, Agata Wiejak, Ninamo, and Kaskia collaborated for the game, and the musical score was composed by Jonathan Wandag.

It is available on Steam, GOG.com, MangaGamer, and the main website for the creators, with the Steam version being censored to comply with their rating requirements, though they have condoned a patch to remove this.


 * Absurdly Youthful Mother: Jessie and Kyanna.
 * Alpha Bitch: Audrey has the attitude of one. She's even referred to as "mega-bitch" by the developers.
 * Animesque: The art style in general.
 * Bilingual Bonus: Kyu's name is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for 'nine'. Unless you've already unlocked Momo, Kyu is the ninth girl to be added to your HunieBee.
 * Delinquents: Audrey, being a drug user and chronic truant from school. A few other characters flirt with this trope, but not as great an extent.
 * Divine Date:.
 * The Dev Team Thinks of Everything: The HunieBee displays "nice try, cheater!" if you try bringing it up during a quiz by one of the girls. Alcohol is also refused by all the girls unless drunk at a logical place and time.
 * Everyone Is Bi: Being male or female doesn't change anything about your dating options aside from commentary.
 * Experience Booster: Love Potions have this effect.
 * Fanservice: TONS of it. Even the Steam censored version is tapdancing as close to the line as it possibly can in the sexy images department.
 * Featureless Protagonist: Your gender is only relevant in changing dialogue, it does nothing to change the game at all, and it can even be changed mid-game.
 * Guide Dang It: Getting the two secret characters is never really explained.
 * Invisible To Normals: Kyu seems to fit, though seems to go unnoticed as well, even though she shows up at places that would be fairly crowded and hard to hide or blend in, even at night.
 * Joke Item: The player starts off with two, a porn mag and a box of tissues.
 * Level Up At Intimacy 5: The raison d'etre of the game.
 * Multinational Cast: The cast has two Americans, an Englishwoman, a Latin American (heavily indicated as Mexican), an Indian (at least ethnically), and a Japanese woman (and this last one is heavily lampshaded).
 * No Ending: The game itself never really ends, even after successful dating every woman to completion.
 * Pink Bishoujo Ghetto: The cast is all female, and even the player can be one. Males are implied and referenced, but never seen.
 * Poison Mushroom: Heartbreak tokens, though some special items can either negate them or make them ironic powerups in other ways.
 * Purely Aesthetic Gender: Aside from the tone/pronouns used in the dialogue, the gender of your character does not matter.
