Cupid's Kiss: a short, romance comedy
Your designated Cupid has had more than enough of your nonsense, thank you very much.
"That’s the fourth time this week that an unnaturally beautiful stranger has dumped their coffee on you."
"But did you bother looking at their face?"
"Fluttering your lashes?"
"Making small talk?"
"It’s like you’re trying to make my life harder."
- Virgil 2024
Cupid's Kiss was made in five days under the constraints of O2A2 Jam 2024. As such, it's a short game containing <1000 words, one sprite, one background, one music, one sound effect and one voice actor.
Due to erm, circumstances (aka I counted the words wrong the first time), we've released two versions:
- the full version (which you can play on web as well as download), with four endings which takes about 15-20 minutes to finish.
- the O2A2 version with one ending which takes about 5-10 minutes to finish and is
hiddenavailable in the downloads.
If you liked it, please consider leaving a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating since it really helps with visibility!

This game has so much style! I really like the music choice. The voice acting is pretty good as well! Although, there is an option to mute the voice, for those who don't like voiced characters in visual novels.
All in all a 10/10 experience! Would recommend!
Love your games!
I love this game! <3
Omg why is virgil so pretty I cant
Awesome game!!👍 10/10 would recommend
I absolutely loved this!! I got the ending where i become a cupid! This was definitely a great choice, in terms of feeding my dopamine receptors hahaha
Spreading pink condensed doses of dopamine is all I've ever wanted ❤️❤️❤️
Disculpen la pregunta ¿No esta en Español, verdad?
Aún no, pero estamos trabajando en ello ❤️
WHY IS HE SO PRETTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This game is adorable! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad the vibes served ❤️
I don't care the IRS sends im not paying my taxes!

Tell Eros that you don't want to be a cupid
OHHH MY GODSS THANK YOU AHAH
AHHHH I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME 😍😍😍
I'M SO HAPPY THE VIBES WORKED FOR YOU ❤️❤️
VIRGIL 😍🤩😍🤩😍
YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When he said that he died I was like: "Oop's, mb I'm not into necro." T-T
Well, he's very well preserved and that counts for something I guess? 😂
THIS IS JUST SO CUTE AAAAAAAAA
I need more skshajdhahsjha
Glad you liked it ❤️❤️❤️ The jam did mean it had to be a small game, but I'm so happy there's potential there!
I tried to get all endings and succeeded. Really fun game just wish it was bit longer. I love Virgil.
Glad you had a good time and congrats on getting all the endings ❤️
STOP. THIS GAME WAS SO CUTE OMG. I just wish it was longer :(
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT! Hopefully I'll revisit the concept soon ❤️
I GET TO SMOOCH HIM FOREVER???? YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!1
YESSSSSS ❤️
I'm aromantic and really appreciated the "I'm good, thanks" ending! Thank you so much, whether it was meant for us or not lol
Lol, SAME!! I was low-key overjoyed because most romance games force you into ones, glad to relate to someone
I'm so glad you felt like you could be yourself freely ❤️ From the comments I've been getting, you're definitely not alone!
I will gladly "smooch" Virgil forever lol 😂
And he comes with a job 😂 in this economy that's not too bad of an afterlife
Best deal ever
DAAMN I loved it hahahha, really cuute and Vigil is my type so * heart eyes*
😍😍😍 Glad he was your cup of tea
the game keeps on crashing saying the game exited unexpectedly, though from the few minutes ive played 10/10 game, loved the voice acting, and story in general.
Thank you so much for playing and I'm so sorry for the crashes! What platform were you playing on?
I was playing on the web version.
Very cute and short game! I love all the options and I would def play a sequel or prequel if its ever made. Only thing I struggled with was the voice acting- I couldn't hear it! I see others in the comments were able to get it working, so it's most likely my ancient computer lol. Over all, this game is light, funny, and fun!
What version did you play? I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway! 😊
I just played whatever version was allowed in the browser. (I didn't have time to let my old computer download another game 😓)
i have a crush on him
So do I ❤️☺️
HOLY CRAPE THIS IS COOL TEACH ME I AM NEW
GLAD YOU LIKED IT ❤️
super super cute!!!!!
❤️🥺
this not only deserves 5 stars but even 50 in my opinion, holy mac and cheese the voice acting and the scrip were amazing. pls be my friend whoever made this. and thank you so much for beliving in yourself enough to make this. you should be a voice actor for sure
I'm just a lowly game developer, Shane's the VA and he did a SUCH a good job with voicing and he was SO fast with a super tight deadline, working with him was pure magic ❤️
Got all ending in a zap !! ^^ The art style is very cute and Virgil is also cool.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️☺️
I got the ending2 first time😭🤍🤍
❤️❤️❤️🫂
It was super cute and I love his design and personality. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for playing!
Well I be damned he stole my name
(loved the game tho <3)
It's a VERY good name! I went Dante's Inferno for this one, like he's your guide to (dating) hell 😂
(And I'm glad you liked ittt ❤️)
I finally played, and I really enjoyed it! First of all, the art is so gorgeous. I love how colorful and cute it is! Virgil is also very handsome, love his design. I also liked there not being a textbox and the UI there being rather minimalistic, it fits well!
The dialogue and banter was very fun, in such few words we really get to see Virgil as a character of his own. And I have to say I really liked that there was an option of "I'm good on my own, thanks". Sometimes you don't need romantic love and I'm happy that was acknowledged hehe! But the kiss was also super sweet...
All in all, 10 out of 10, would play this again
Flo babes thanks so much for playing thissss ❤️❤️❤️ The short word count and the time limit were definitely a beast to handle but I'm so glad it worked!
virgil's everything was great. options very good too. much thanks for making such an enjoyable playthrough!
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed the choices!!!
Love the variety of choices (each one was filled with personality ^^) and the walkthrough. Cupid was cute but man did he buckle down on that trapped together trope. Cupid sweetie, there's a whole genre of romance books out there filled with meet-cutes (even meet-uglies) that you could have taken inspiration from! DX (It's ok, I'll help you out with our next designated human now that I've become a cupid <3)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the choicessss! He did try the mostest (in a very silly way) and I'm sure he appreciates the help ❤️
MY GOD I LOVED THIS GAME😭❤️❤️ and I caught ending 2 the first time, too bad the game is short I would love to see more of it
THANK YOU OMG ❤️ It is a very short game because of the jam constraints but a sequel is definitely on the docket ☺️
ugh what a cutie pootie i got his romance ending that so ahhhhh hehehe i wish their was more but its good as it isn
In ten days there wasn't much I could do 😅 I'm glad you liked it and hopefully there'll be more to come ❤️
AAAA This was such a fun experience!! and the art is amazing!! just so nice to look at <3333
Thank you so much for playing, I appreciate it ❤️
VIRGIL IS SOOO CUTE <3 I PERSISTED MY WAY TO ROMANCING HIS ASS AND GOT ENDING 2 YIPEE !! I want to draw him soooo bad now <3 !!
