Is it romantic enough?

That is up to the win message. The fight is the fun part; the message at the end is the card, and it can be as soppy as you like. Nobody else sees it unless they share the link.

Will he actually play it?

He will play it until he beats it. Pick Normal: it takes a few tries, which is the point, and the rank at the end is something he will want to improve.

What photo works best?

A clear head-and-shoulders shot on a plain background. Selfies are fine. Group photos are not, since we cut out one person.

Can I change it after publishing?

You can edit the lines and message from the same device you made it on. Sprites are fixed once published.

A Valentine's Day game starring your boyfriend

A Valentine for a boyfriend that is not a card and not a gadget: his face on the hero, the restaurant booking he forgot as the boss, cold pizza for weapons, and taunts from the Mario Kart grudge. It is funny first and soft at the end, which is the right order.

Send it first thing on the 14th so it is the first message he opens. The win message with confetti is the card. If you are seeing him that night, send the trailer first and make him ask for the link.

Example: Jordan vs The Restaurant Booking, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a boyfriend, think the Mario Kart grudge, the parking job outside the restaurant, or the one recipe he makes. You can rewrite every line.

On the day

Send it first thing on the 14th and it is the message they open before anything else. If you are seeing them that evening, the trailer is the reveal: record the 20-second clip, send that, and let them ask for the link. The win message is the card, so write it like one.

The photo

A photo where he is looking straight at the camera and not wearing sunglasses. The cut-out needs the whole face; a cap is fine, a hood is not.

Difficulty

Normal takes a few tries, which is the point. Easy if they are likely to give up after one loss.
