## Characters

She was lead after accidentally bumped through the beginning by Erotes, who takes her on one training date. After it, he gives her the Jewel Mobile which she use to meet more men in order to collect jewels. Erotes, as a cupid was tasked to her to alleviate her awkwardness until she had no problem talking to men, and was able to have sex with all of them. By the end of the scenario, she have gathered an entire harem, consisting of 12 men whom they take on dates, earning Rabuban (in-game money) after each date. She can also earn Jewelry, another in-game resource, which can be used to upgrade traits. At the end of the game, she have sex with and effectively conquer Eros, after which Erotes will congratulate her and request panties for all the boys. This will activate "Omega Mode" where dates become harder and harder, effectively becoming an endless mode seeing how far Haruna can get.

## Gameplay

Nectary Love Bang: Bejeweled Boyfriends is a free-to-play tile-matching and romance dating sim game in which the player assumes the role of the protagonist Haruna Aikyoh (name is changeable) interacting with several different handsome men as her love interests, each of whom has his own distinct personalities and preferences. The player can interact with men by talking to them and giving them gifts. Doing this rewards the player with "Rabuban", an in-game currency that can be used to upgrade Haruna's stats, buying gifts or foods. These stats allow Haruna to earn more points during dates, increasing her chance of success.

In order to progress through the game, Haruna must take the men on dates, where she will play a tile matching jewels game called Love Bang, where she must make matches of 3 or more of the same jewels. The player must earn enough points to complete the date before she run out of moves. Each men has specific type of jewel (birthstone or gemstone) that they like and dislike, and Haruna will gain more points if she match the type of jewelry that men prefers. The player can also use special items called "date gifts" during their dates which grant positive effects to help her earn more points. After a successful date, she rewarded with a picture of the men the date she was with. Each successful date will also raise the game's difficulty, making subsequent dates require more points to complete. After 3 successful dates with the men, Haruna will be able to take them on a date at night and it will be able to give him a passionately kiss. And if that date is successful with love meter reaching to 100%, the special option will arrive and if you choice this one that marked as an H and the man can brought Haruna to his bedroom or private places for one final round of Love Bang (and, if this is successful, the man will enjoy having sexual intercourse with Haruna in unique CG sex scene). Unlike regular dates, Haruna will have unlimited moves to complete the love-making mode, but the score meter constantly drains over time, so to win, the player must make matches quickly until the meter is full and Haruna will goes climax along with her boyfriend (yeah, the men has the sounds of moaning and grunting).

Throughout the game the player is guided by Erotes, a winged cupid set on turning Haruna into a successful Aphrodite. He gives her tips on how to interact with each men and explains how the game's various mechanics work in order to obtain nine rare jewels. He also becomes dateable after one bedroom game.

### Bejeweled System: Love Bang

Much like Candy Crush Saga and HuniePop, Love Bang is a "match three" game, where the core gameplay is based on swapping two adjacent jewels among several on the gameboard as to make a row or column of at least 3 matching-colored gemstones. On this match, the different matched jewels are removed from the board, and jewels above them fall into the empty spaces, with new jewels appearing from the top of the board. This may create a new matched set of jewels, which is automatically cleared in the same manner. The player scores points for these matches and gains progressively more points for chain reactions. Additionally, creating matches of four or more jewel will create a special power that, when matched, can clear a row, column, or other section of the board.

The game is split among many dates, which must be completed in sequence. Each men poses a different challenge to the player such as achieving a minimum score in a fixed number of moves or clearing jewels in a fixed number of moves to bring special jewel to the bottom of the board. Boards have a number of different configurations and may include special spaces that have their own unique rules, such as spaces covered with stone that must be cleared by making a match on that space. If the player meets the date's goal, they will be given from one to three stars based on their score and can earned more points. Otherwise, the player will lose one life and must try again. If the player runs out of lives, she have to rest for some period of Haruna's bedroom real-life time while their lives regenerate before attempting the date again. Completed dates can be replayed if desired.

### Dating System

Like HuniePop, dates are the main feature of Nectary Love Bang, and earn players rewards such as "Rabuban" (which is used to buy clothes, gifts, food and drinks), Gachas and photos. To succeed in a date, Haruna must reach a certain score, known as the "Affection" meter. The maximum score she must reach in dates increases for that man as they go on more dates with them. Haruna only has twenty moves for each date (24 if her boyfriend is full before it), though, so she must use them wisely!

The date grid is where the player matches jewels in order to get affection, passion, sentiment, or more moves. Unlike other puzzle games where players can only move jewels one space over, the player can drag tokens anywhere across the jewel's row or column, allowing more opportunities for combos.

In order to gain affection, the player must match three or more jewels. The more jewels are matched at once, the more points she will receive. The amount of affection a jewel can give depends on trait upgrades, the passion level, and a boyfriend's preferences.

His profile will outline his most favorite trait, which will grant the most amount of affection during dates, and his least favorite trait, which will grant the least amount of affection during dates. Boyfriends also have other preferred traits over other traits, which will grant higher amount of affection than others, but Haruna must find out and memorize what these traits are as she date her boyfriend. She must keep this in mind her boyfriend's preferred traits as she date them to ensure a successful date.

The four main jewels are **Romance** (**Diamond**), **Talent** (**Sapphire**), **Sexuality** (**Ruby**), and **Flirtation** (**Emerald**).

There are also the jewels called **Joy** (**Topaz**), which grants a bonus move, **Passion** (**Pink Spinal**), which increases the value of jewel combos, **Sentiment** (**Light Blue Alexandrite**), which increases your sentiment points, and cracked **Broken Hearts** (**Amethyst**), which lowers the player's score.

During the date, the player also has the option of giving the boyfriend a "gift", for example the default Stuffed Bear, which will eliminate all Broken Heart amethyst on the grid and replace them with Passion jewels. Certain gifts can also increase the value of certain jewel combos depending on what kind of trait the gift represents and how much the player upgraded the gift in the "upgrade" section.

### Attributes

Each card is one of six available attributes:

* Passion❤️
* Cool🔷
* Sexy🌸
* Neat🍀
* Energetic🎵
* Mature⭐

The attributes don't make a difference in the score you get in Date, but they are used for Event bonuses if you use a certain type and specific shards of the attribute are required to date with one of your boyfriends.

### H Bonus

The h-scene bonus mini-game is a result of four successful dates with a man (4th should be a night date). After the 4th date, the man Haruna dating will takes her to his bedroom or any private places in only her bra and panties (naked or by taking her breast off or pulling her panties off from her clothes) to have sex with her. In the CG sex bonus mini-game, there are no move limits, broken amethysts or date gift usage. The affection level is lower than the average date affection level, but the score decays over time, so she must play the bonus stage as fast as possible in order to climax. During CG scenes, the boys take their pants off and insert their dick into Haruna's pussy when the score is half the affection meter.

Every jewel grants 10 pleasure, including romance, passion and sentiment jewels, so Haruna doesn't need to worry about that men's preferred traits when playing. Every time she match jewels, the man she was dating will moan or grunt in sexual pleasure while thrust in and out of her pussy. When Haruna is finished with the mini-game, the CG sex scene showing the man have sex with Haruna while keep moaning or grunting for a little until reaching climax and then she will receive one final photo of the man in a sexy pose, "revealing" more than in his other photos. Haruna will then wake up the next morning with him in his bedroom, and will have successfully conquered that man and earn the final jewel, along with special prizes, Gachas and CG photos that contains explicit sexuality scenes.

If the player unlock Omega Mode, Haruna can double dating with two of 10 boyfriends and score more points. After night date, the two men will engaged in the erotic threesome with her, resulting to earn special Gachas and CG photos that contains the threesome sex scenes.

*Note: The H-Scene Bonus was removed for mobile games ports. An all-ages version for PC and Linux is rated 17+ (M for mature) alongside Android and iOS in which Gachas, photos and limited events scenario of Haruna and the one of the men will be more, strong sexuality graphic scenes than usual hentai.*
