Hello Kittens!
We've fixed a few pesky launch day bugs, including:
* Fix for the game crashing at launch when playing in German.
* Fix for the game soft-locking at other times, particularly on the main menu.
* Fix for the Fling the Food game sometimes getting soft-locked.
* Fix for coins being able to bounce out of the Pachinko machine, resulting in the minigame never finishing.
* Fix for receiving multiple letter from the same couple.
Happy matchmaking!
Matchmaker Makeover is a very competent entry in the crowded 'makeover plus match-3' genre. It differentiates itself slightly with the dating agency theme—having to choose the right conversation starters for your clients adds a nice layer of narrative consequence to the usual styling gameplay. The puzzles are standard fare, but they're polished and the power-ups feel satisfying to deploy.
The fashion options are surprisingly deep, and I appreciated that the game actually pays attention to client personalities. Styling a sporty client in a formal gown actually results in a 'worse' date outcome, which encourages you to pay attention to the dialogue. It's a bit heavy on the microtransactions (when it was active), but for fans of the genre, it provided a lot of content and some genuinely sweet romantic subplots.
Deep fashion customization
Engaging match-3 levels
Romantic story arcs
Interior design elements
Pay attention to the client's personality. A sporty client might prefer a casual chic look over a formal gown for their first date.
Match 4 or more items in the puzzle levels to create power-ups. These will help you clear the board faster and earn more coins.
Yes, the success of your matchmaking depends on your styling choices and advice.
i am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY IMPRESSED WITH THIS RENDITION OF KITTY POWERS MATCHMAKER! Time and time again I come running back into kitty’s arms. The gameplay loop is fun and engaging, the dialogue is funny! and More HIP! Some outdated stuff was taken care of and the game is somehow even more inclusive than before! Huzzah! Hashtag loving it so far. Thank you Kitty for all you do…. Meow…. kittyling out! toodles!
Would like to see more feminine and masc looking characters flat out, I do love the non binary and mix between but they all sort of look the same? I do love the matchmaker previous game’s art style and STYLE in general, currently always playing the other one. Very much very ahead of its time (even for the fact it’s from 2013) — almost timeless and stylish as hell! But for this new makeover, I would love to see some adjustments for character customization a bit. Maybe the body as well because it needs some umph— I do like the body size options, but the arms looks muscular too ? More fem, a bit of flamboyancy. I’m a girl and my character looks like a guy a bit.
as someone who has grew up watching ihascupquake play both the og game and this game, i can say this is my dream game. ever since the first game came out i have been wanting to play both of them. this game runs smoother and the animations are wayyy better ! i love how you can customize your matchmaker salon and the new non-binary gender gives inclusive. i love the new clothes and accessories you can now put in your character and shown on other characters. they are super cute!
I love this remake and have loved every single game by Kitty. This game would be amazing if it had Apple Pencil support. Recommend either way.
it’s so fun i’ve already had a blast playing it
I love the game. Please make the Apple Pencil work
