Crush Crush - Idle Dating Sim 12+

Awesome game, but the Switch version has a problem.

I came across this game a couple months ago on the Switch eshop, and I’ve gotta say, I really am enjoying it! Here’s the problem though; for some reason now whenever I try to open the game on my Switch, it shows the loading screen, but then immediately after, I get an error message saying “the software was closed because an error occurred.” I don’t know what’s going on, because it was working until like 3 days ago and now it’s showing that error message every time. I’ve tried everything, updating the game, updating my Switch, uninstalling and reinstalling the game; nothing. Please fix this because I really want to keep playing, but I can’t. I would just play it on my phone, but I can’t transfer my Switch data to the phone version, and I unlocked some characters through events that aren’t happening anymore. Other than that, the game is awesome and I love all the cute and funny easter eggs! I hope to see more girls in future updates!

Great game

I’m going to be completely honest, I originally bought this game because of the girls. But I kept it because it’s just fun, which I definitely didn’t expect at all. The events are a great little detail and the phone flings are my favorite part about the game. I really like games where you have to work for stuff and that’s exactly what this game is. Of course this isn’t perfect. I would suggest bringing back past events for girls instead of making them dlcs forever, that’d make it a little more fun to have a second chance at unlocking characters. Another thing I like about the game is you get rewarded for completing relationship levels with girls, which brings me to my next suggestion, maybe consider adding quests that give gems or something, instead of just having that log in thing where you have to play every day to get stuff. Finally I would just like to thank the people who make this game for continuing to develop and improve the game, hoping for more free girls in the future? And definitely hoping for more phone flings, I almost finished those completely and I’m starting to wonder if I’ll get bored eventually without them. Okay this time that really is all. Thank you for making this game, I’ve had a lot of fun playing it.

Good at what it sets out to be

TL:DR - if you want a dating sim game and have enough self-discipline to not spend all your time on it, absolutely get it. If you don’t have a good life-game balance, be careful for it’s problemaically addicting nature.

For what it is, it’s really good. There’s a large free roster of girls and personalities, and if none of them fit your niche there’s microtransactions that can unlock new ones. There’s even the internet explorer waifu. Lots of good content and simple gameplay cycle. I even notice the SEVEN DAY afk timer (extremely lenient compared to lots of other games), which means you can leave this game and come back when it works for you. If you’re looking for dating sim games, appreciate unique character designs, or are looking for more adult ish games, this is really good and likely up your alley.

The reason I leave 3 stars instead of more is because of personal reasons and the fact it’s… well, addicting. I already have my fair share of problems with technology and self-discipline, and the dozens of counting timers pulled my focused multiple times throughout the day. Mobile games in the modern day look to grab attention, and Crush Crush does an absolutely fantastic job at that. But between my own addictions and how good this game is at taking attention away from real life tasks, I had to delete it.
