A game that stars them Our product
oin turns a shared story into a small 2D pixel game with your crush as the main character, generated from an authorized photo, so it suits a crush you already know well and who is happy to share a photo. Two letters from you open and close it, a 5-question quiz about games you both like rewards flowers for correct answers, and the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →
