Hey Cutie

Developed by One Method Monkey, Hey Cutie combines the excitement of dating with the thrill of board games. Your goal is to date as many people as possible, and there's a wide variety of individuals for your choosing. In order to win their hearts, though, you must build stats and throw on some fancy attire. The Kickstarter for Hey Cutie is set to go live in September. You can sign up for their mailing list here.

Battle Royale For Your Heart

Mixing battle royales and romance, visual novel Battle Royale For Your Heart lets you find a partner both on and off the battlefield. Developed by LegendEx Games, you'll be able to choose from multiple partners. If you're only interested in battle, you can simply ignore the romance portion. You can download the demo here.

Tomato Smush Bois

Developed by Blake Andrews, Tomato Smush Bois is a great throwback to '80s gaming. In the game, your goal is to destroy as many tomatoes as possible. As you continue doing damage, the screen becomes drenched in red and green pixels. While there's no release date for this game, follow Andrews on Twitter for any updates.

Repertoire
