Sweetheart Safari

Sweetheart Safari is partly a "switcheroo jam", where game developers take on roles outside their usual skill sets. The game was programmed by an artist, and the characters were drawn by a programmer. The impromptu game jam took place in June 2014 and occured over 48 hours.

Sweetheart Safari – An Animal Dating Adventure for 1 Lonely Player

Welcome to the Sweetheart Safari, a zoo where true love lies just across the savannah. The goal of the game, as an adorable high school student of indistinct gender and sexuality, is to find true love. Go on dates with the inhabitants of the zoo, get to know them better, and hopefully seal the deal with a smooch! But beware, you could offend some partners and end up alone…

• - 10 unique partners!
• - 2 dates per partner!
• - 5 unique locations!
• - Date an animal!
• - Made in 48 hours with little sleep and much caffeine!
• - We're sorry in advance!

We hope you enjoy something about this game. It was a blast to make, albeit a little weird. We do not condone the actual, real-life union of humans and animals. Thank you.
