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.

Is it cute or is it a joke?

Both, and you decide the ratio. The boss and taunts are the joke. The win message, with confetti, is the cute part, and it is the last thing she reads.

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 girlfriend

A Valentine for a girlfriend that she has not seen before: her face on the hero, the 6am spin class as the boss, iced coffee for weapons, and taunts about the karaoke night and the plant. The fight is the joke. The message at the end is the Valentine.

Write the win message like a card, because it is the last thing she reads and the part she screenshots. Send it before she wakes up on the 14th, then give her the printed postcard at dinner if you want a second surprise.

Example: Maya vs The 6am Class, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a girlfriend, think that one karaoke night, the plant that refuses to die, or the parking ticket that was not her fault. You can rewrite every line.

Start with a photo

Free to make and play. $9.99 only when you send the link.

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

Any photo where her face is not tilted away. Big earrings and hair across the forehead cut out fine. Sunglasses do not.

Difficulty

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