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.

Can I keep the message private?

The message is inside the game, so only someone with the link sees it. Nobody but the two of you needs to have it.

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 wife

A Valentine for a wife is only worth giving if it proves you noticed. This one has her face on the hero, the calendar that runs the house as the boss, wine glasses for weapons, and taunts from your actual year. Flowers do not do that.

The message at the end is the Valentine. Write it properly. She plays it once for the fight and again for the message, and the printed postcard is the version she keeps in the drawer.

Example: Priya vs The Calendar, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Bosses that work for a wife

The Laundry Mountain · it never gets smaller and it is never hers
The Calendar · the boss that runs the house
The School Run · a boss fight every weekday at 8:10

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a wife, think the holiday we never talk about, the wine glass that was definitely not the last one, or the way she says my name when the bins have not gone out. 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

A photo she likes of herself. That matters more than lighting. Straight on, no sunglasses, and the background can be anything.

Difficulty

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