About Pair-a-Site
Love is a beautiful fantasy.
Without the illusion of love, people could never marry into power, end international conflicts, or let alone take over the universe.
Join Khan Kohrair, the famed conqueror of the cosmos, on his quest to seize yet another planet.
Play as Khan’s latest computer virus, Byte, and master your parasitic power to steal the bodies of anyone you attract. Your end goal? The president of the world.
Take over the minds of different users and force them into relationships.
The more people date, the more popular the site gets. Keep the momentum going and before long you’ll hook the president! A plan so simple that nothing could possibly go wrong.
Introducing a fresh take on bullet-hell gameplay!
Anti-viruses want you dead, your date wants you to answer their messages, and to top it off everything’s a platformer because why not. The people you control each come with a unique mechanic. Double jump, hover, piercing shots, the list goes on. Half the skills are yours to keep, but the other half are left behind. Choose your favorites as the game progresses and build the playstyle that’s right for you.
- full voice acting
- a stylish interface
- a somehow fluid mix of bullet-hell, dating-sim, and platforming mechanics
- a unique progression system that alters your character based on which couples you form
- nine or twelve characters (depends on what you define as a person)
- a quiz on tapeworm biology
- self-referential humor most people won’t get
- and probably some other stuff

"Pair-a-Site" is a student project from Digipen, and unfortunately this year the students failed... this is a garbage minimalist shooter with a "dating game" wrapper around it, neither of which are worthy of anyone's time. We must question what value it has for gamers when academies like Digipen publish every single homework assignment their students do... this is, as always, what happens when businesses put gamers last and themselves first. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy" and looks bad as a result of their lack of interest in doing their job properly. Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything e…3 found this helpful
Игра "Pair-a-Site" - это простой, но увлекательный способ проверить свою память и внимание. Суть игры заключается в том, чтобы находить пары одинаковых карточек, расположенных рубашкой вверх. Сначала кажется легко, но с увеличением количества карт и разнообразия изображений, задача становится всё более сложной и требующей концентрации. Мне понравилось, что игра имеет приятный и минималистичный дизайн, который не отвлекает от геймплея. Различные уровни сложности позволяют постепенно прогрессировать и тренировать память. Это отличный вариант для тех, кто ищет себе развлечение на несколько минут или хочет отточить навыки запоминания. Единственный минус, который я заметил, - это иногда однообразность изображений. Было бы здорово увидеть больше тематических наборов карточек, чтобы разнообразить игровой процесс и сделать его более интересным. В целом, "Pair-a-Site" - это приятная и полезная игра, которая поможет вам скоротать время и потренировать мозг. Рекомендую!1 found this helpful
This game is great, the idea is very creative, the gameplay is fun, it's surprisingly deep for a game that's free, a student project, etc. Plus it legitimately made me laugh multiple times and is just loaded with a ton of personality and charm, so much it compelled me to complete it. Great work on this!1 found this helpful
Absolutely stellar way to spend an afternoon! Relatively short length that feels perfect for the amount of challenge the game presents, stages that feel extremely satisfying to get down and clear after several tries, some of the best worst puns you'll ever encounter, and genuinely fun and solid characters and voice work. Absolutely worth your time, and one of the best free games you can get here.1 found this helpful
Very silly, daddy.
Honestly, this game has VERY good dialogue. Dan will not disappoint, when you meet him. Beware of Annie though o-o ...
