LovePlus +, la respuesta de Konami a la depresión juvenil

[Kosmonavt]

En el día de la fecha sale a la venta la segunda entrega de este sim-date de la gente de Konami para la Nintendo DS, cuyo objetivo no es sólamente el de conquistar a una chica, sino que también lidiar con algunas situaciones de pareja.

Lo particular de este juego es que tiene un botón de SOS que debe ser presionado solo en casos de depresión extrema (los desarrolladores del juego ponen énfasis en no hacerlo por mera curiosidad). Al presionarlo se perderá todo progreso obtenido pero el jugador quedará reconfortado. Entre otras cosas uno puede mandarle mensajes de texto a su novia, hablar con ella mediante el micrófono de la consola e inclusive estudiar junto a ella.

Debido a que no existe un anuncio oficial de que tanto este juego como su precuela vayan a ser traducidos, algunos fans ya se abocaron a realizar dicha tarea: link (http://tlwiki.tsukuru.info/index.php?title=Love_Plus).

Es cómico ver todo lo que uno tiene que hacer y tener en cuenta para poder besar a una piba, según la gente de Konami.

Skinship can be split into 4 phases: "1: Before skinship", "2: Skinship", "3: Before kiss", and "4: Kiss".

1.Before skinship
There is a meeting version and a walking side by side (like coming home from school) version. On the left screen a gauge showing people's gaze will appear. Aim for a touch when the gauge is low. Don't slide; touch. Gauge has the 5 stages of 0, 1, 2, 3, and flickering(max).
When the gauge is at 0, you can usually touch anywhere and still clear, so aim for it if you can. Just waiting for 0 is inefficient because it can time-out, so compromise with 1~2. 3 or more and it will automatically fail. If you've compromised, you will fail when touching bold(?) areas such as the hair or body; so only touch moderate areas such as the hands or shoulder. These rules may be affected by intimacy. Clear this section and you'll progress into stage 2.

2.Skinship
This part too, is not slide, but touch. Basically, around the hair and shoulder is safe. If you can touch the area around her mouth then aim for the hand too. This section ends after approximately 4 hearts appear. There is no need to change the location of the touch every time, so if you touch once and a pink heart appears, there's no problem doing the same action the next 4 times. Depending on how good you are, she might go right into stage 3.
Change the touching location if a blue heart appears (if the girl is Manaka then she will usually get mad if you touch the body). If 2 blue hearts appear then it might end. Incidentally, in the walking side by side version, when you touch the hand or the shoulder they end up holding hands and it ends (though intimacy probably rises too). Also, if she is talking about holding hands, it will be a holding hand event regardless where you touch, but it will automatically take you to stage 3. If you're on that version and want to proceed on to the next phase, don't touch the hand or shoulder.

3.Before kiss
Clear 2 stages and and you'll get another stage similar to the first. The tricks are still the same so aim for a time when the gaze meter is low. Clear this and her heavy breathing gets a little risque. On to stage 3: Before kiss! This phase is not touching, but sliding. Hair, forehead, cheeks, or shoulder can be rubbed and look for a pink trace/track.
Keep rubbing and the colour will change from Pink -> Red -> Yellow which increases the sensitivity. Eventually it will change into blue, so look for another place where pink hearts appear. Avoid green spots as they don't charge the hearts as quickly as the pink. As you rub, the type of hearts circling will change from green to pink to giant pink. When you finish a spot, you will get some bonus pink hearts. Just repeat this and you will easily get Heart MAX (5 times). The game is pretty lenient on detecting touching locations, and her face moves around, so halfhearted sliding is okay(even over her eyes). This is the easiest part of skinship, so lets rub and grin!
Incidentally, a green heart will appear on the top left of the screen. Touch that and you get a selection of either "I love you" (愛してる) or "I like you" (好き). (Also Shiawase/Ureshii and Kawaii/Kirei are two other choices, depending on which hearts are circling). It disappears when you're about to touch it sometimes (or whenever she talks) so it might be a bit hard to touch it. For each pink heart you gain you get another green heart. If you pick the right choice, you will get another round of whatever heart was circling i.e. useful with big pink hearts. If you choose wrong, you will lag and start over from green hearts.
For Rinko, concentrate on her chest and head. She goes green and blue a lot in her facial area.

4.Kiss
End stage 3 and you're on to stage 4: kiss. The accumulated hearts is the number of times you can kiss her. This part is basically touching. Only long touch when you kiss her lips. The 5 places you can kiss are the hair, forehead, cheeks (touch the outlines of her face), near her lips, and her lips.
The places you should aim for change depending on how the girl acts. Below are Manaka's: (all the girls is similar, except for face forward eyes open)
Face forward, closed eyes -> Lips (Hold until 4-6 hearts)
Face forward, opened eyes, glimmering -> Lips (Hold until 6-9 hearts)
Face forward, opened eyes, eyebrows straight -> Around Lips (left or right)
Face forward, opened eyes, eyebrows curved -> Peck on the lips
Facing a little downwards, eyes closed -> Forehead
Facing even more downwards, eyes opened -> Cheek
Facing slightly to the side -> Cheek
It is generally something like this, but it doesn't always seem to bring up a good evaluation.
Chirps are okay, it won't ruin your session, but chimes will blow her mind away. Getting one flute(blue heart) will not ruin the session.
If you get a majority of chimes (and up to one flute), you can regain kisses by 4, 3, and then 2.
If you get all five chimes, you get endless kiss mode, which is five hearts until you get two flutes in one set.
If you get a flute and mainly chirps, you will she will do a Refrain Kiss.
If you manage to continue to get good reactions repeatedly, she will request another kiss (Aka "Refrain Kiss". If this happens you will receive something [TL note: or she will do something? The wording isn’t very clear]) After the kiss, she will react with "Hmm...", "I like you", or "I love you", depending on how well you did. (after your first refrain kiss, you unlock her ability to wear cosplay. Every 10-20 successful sessions will unlock a new outfit for that girl, up to 100 sessions.)
General tips
Don't neglect one area for too long, so you should go in a set pattern. Hair -> shoulder -> cheek -> forehead -> hair.
Move in big slow circles, and stop as soon as it becomes blue. Usually it will become blue when she's talking, a heart fills up or after a yellow streak.
If circles give you random blue hearts, go for a stroking motion.
After this you should move to the next place, but you wait one second before doing so.
