What do you think?

I would really like to be able to make a YouTube video of my playthrough, but I can't find information on Keybol's policy for YouTube videos and for monetization (ad revenue). It's frustrating because I've already got footage of my nephew playing it and am all set to release a highlights compilation but can't do that until I am sure of the legal side :\

But it's a cool game, and I had fun with how far I got so far. Makes you think outside the box in different ways.

i wish i could choose the pink square. or the squares colors at all. anyway, you know people will reject you even if they aren't already with someone and that's okay too, right? i do hope so. cool little game, tho.

the "story" is soo fake deep omg! Its just a rly simple game some nerd tried to make better by using a cursive font :/ also why why why do u need to make literal blocks straight.......

Really enjoyed this game :D

never thought i'd get upset upset about a lil blue block not getting the girl lol
