"Crush Crush," by Sad Panda Studios

From The Manufacturer:
Hey hot stuff! Are you looking for a fun and flirty game to kill some time and make you laugh out loud? That’s a crazy coincidence, because it’s been looking for you! Welcome to Crush Crush – the Idle Dating Sim!

-x-

Pros:

• I found the writing to be better than this game's sibling, "Blush Blush."  It's definitely more off-the-wall, and got more laughs.  They're both pretty vapid, but but this game takes itself a touch less seriously.
• One of the girls you can interact with is a LITERAL BEAR, for heaven's sake.
• There's voice acting for every one of the unlockable characters.  That's neat, even if some of the voices sound a bit similar
• The game is "free."
• NOTE: It also includes micro-transactions to speed up the process of moving forward with each girl.  The game doesn't seem predatory (ie with enough time and patience  you could unlock everything without paying for the game), but it is still a little annoying to see ads for these purchases baked into the game.  
• There is also a $7 "moist and uncensored" DLC add-on that makes the game for "adults only."  I didn't buy this, but I guess it's cool that it exists for those who want it.
• You can earn some in-game currency even while the game is closed, which is nice.  It is a "quality-of-life" feature that I appreciate.
• I like that there are other ways to interact with the game and its characters when compared to "Blush Blush."  In particular, the cellphone comes to mind.
• All the language is gender neutral, so you can enjoy the game pretty much no matter how you identify.
• One of the girls, Quill, is a treasure. 

Cons:

• I think calling this game a "dating sim" is generous; it is really much closer to an idle game with dating sim elements sprinkled in.
• The art isn't as good as this game's sibling, "Blush Blush."  It definitely has a whiff of "DeviantArt Anime" for some characters.
• You can create an avatar, but it doesn't really appear in the game's cut-scenes in any meaningful way.  Also, the rendering of the avatar looks noticably more lo-fi than it did in "Blush Blush."
• The end-game (i.e. unlocking and reaching the "highest level" with each character) can be really brutal, and requires a number of "resets," to get a speed boost. In other words, the game artificially pads its run time by making the player start from the beginning. While this may be a trope in clicker games, it's a bit weird in a game where relationship building is the core of the narrative.
• I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con, but there's a yandere character.   She even makes her appearance by offing another character named "Generica."  It's funny in a trope-y sort of way.  I was also impressed (and creeped out) by the fact that the other girls have dialogue that mention the yandere following / stalking them.

Conclusion:
Just like my "Blush Blush," review, if you like idle games and the cast of characters is of interest to you, this game may be up your alley.  Also, to give credit where credit is due, the game's zany writing and voice acting are above average for the genre.  With that being said, if you want a more "traditional, VN experience, you can safely skip this one.  In the end, I had fun with "Crush Crush," but it draws more of its DNA from the "idle game" genre than from visual novels, so it is important to know what you are signing up for.
