Table Manners: The Physics-based Dating Game - launching on Valentine's Day


Many of you reading this will have had a bad date at some point.

Whether it's spilling a drink over your fresh white tee or getting their name horribly wrong, we all have our moments.

But this game will change your perception of what a 'bad date' really is.

These settings range from ordinary to the preposterous, as the trailer shows you playing in a restaurant, dating aboard a cruise ship, and soaring across the sky at 40,000 feet in a private jet.

Every moment seems to be fraught with danger and humour, and the game is guaranteed to entertain as well as any real-life date you may have lined up for Valentine's Day.

The controls are rather reminiscent of other silly physics games.
