What was the motivation behind you building this? Is this a client piece or were you looking for a chance to make a SHMUP-type game on phones?
You always make really interesting and different design choices, I'd love to know more about the reasoning behind that. Like, is Love Dodge about how society places alternately alienating/welcoming emphasis on concepts like love through media designed to be consumed by differently gendered age groups, or did you just have a horrible breakup, why dodge love?
I decided to make a small game that will only take a few months to make. The prototype had a spaceship dodging some asteroids. Once the prototype was nearing its end, before doing any graphics, I thought the space theme would not appeal to a wide audience.
So then I decided to make a cute, colourful game. Looked at a bunch of chibi images and started doing some sketches for a cute, female character. I thought it could be interesting if the things she dodged represented something. That's when I came up with the love theme.

I made the game because I want to make games :)
