"Well Done"

As a Dating Sim, this is a very good game.
As a flash representation of Neil Strauss' book The Game, it is nearly perfect.
I like the airplane as a metaphor for having to barrel forward through the interaction even if it means getting blown out. As in real life, it is difficult to avoid staring at the girl's boobs and losing attraction. DHV spikes (the up arrows after you hit a hat) are hard to pull of without DLV spikes (the down arrows). The only way to make this game better would be to add in more unique lines, or possibly give you the option to merge forward into a 3set or 4set. And possibly change the "emotional connection" building phase from something other than guessing a 7. It shouldn't be as hard as it is to guess the number, because, as everyone who's read the book knows, she almost always picks 7 out of 10 and 3 out of 4.
Also, for those who think it is too hard, I'd expect everyone in the PU community to be able to beat it in under 4 minutes after a few tries. It does have the potential though to become a great way to "study" new material. If you crosslinked this game with a database of 1000 negs, openers, and DHV spikes, it would become seriously educational.
Well Done, Sir.
