KickOrKiss
Dating, but funny. Fling a card left to kick it, or right to kiss it.
A match is two people who kissed each other — nothing else. There is no algorithm deciding who succeeds, and the moment the second kiss lands a private chat opens.
A kick sends a cartoon boot through the card. A kiss lands giant lips on it. Both move a public reputation score, which is the joke and the game at the same time.

Three steps, and the third one is the point.
Build your card
Sign in with a Lumora account and add photos, an age, a city and a handful of interests. Onboarding is finished when the card is worth judging, not when a form is technically complete.
Pass the verdict
Left is a kick, right is a kiss, and the deck leads with people near you. A hundred swipes a day is the free allowance, and the counter resets at midnight UTC.
Match and chat
Kiss someone who kissed you and the chat opens straight away, with typing dots and read receipts. Take your kiss back and the match dissolves honestly, on both sides at once.
Three paid moves, each one a decision for somebody else.
Power-ups are bought with Lumora credits — the same balance shared by the Lumora apps that use credits, topped up by a free monthly allowance on every account.
Kick Shield
5 creditsFor one hour, an ordinary kick bounces off your card and is never recorded. Anyone who wants through has to either kiss you or pay for a Super Kick, so the shield keeps costing its attacker rather than its owner.
Kiss Bomb
1 creditA missile of lips, triple reputation, and a gold flag on your card at the front of their deck. Bombing somebody you have already judged charges nothing and says so, rather than taking the credit in silence.
Super Kick
1 creditGlass cracks, holds for a beat, then falls apart. It is the one thing that goes through an active Kick Shield, for that single verdict and that one attacker, at triple the usual swing.
Credits, invoices and plans live in one place for the whole network, at the shared Lumora account centre. There is no separate wallet inside the game.
Leaving a conversation is never a paid move.
Adults only. An age outside 18 to 99 is rejected outright rather than quietly corrected to something allowed.
Unmatch works through a shield. A Kick Shield stops kicks, and it must never trap somebody inside a chat.
Blocking is symmetric. Neither of you appears in the other's deck again, in either direction, whoever pressed the button.
Photos are stripped on your device. Every upload is resized in the browser first, which removes the location data a camera writes into the file.
Every card is a real player. A temporary seeded roster filled out the deck around launch and has since been retired.
Nobody is verified. There are no identity documents and no background checks here, so meet strangers the way you would from anywhere else on the internet.
Questions people actually ask.
How does a match happen in KickOrKiss?
A match is exactly two people who kissed each other. There is no matchmaking algorithm choosing who succeeds. The moment the second kiss lands, a private chat opens, and withdrawing a kiss dissolves both the match and the chat.
Is KickOrKiss free to play?
Yes. Playing is free and every player gets 100 swipes a day. Power-ups are the only paid part and they use shared Lumora credits — Kick Shield 5 credits, Kiss Bomb 1, Super Kick 1 — drawn from the free monthly credit allowance every Lumora Build account gets, no card required.
What is a Kick Shield?
For one hour, ordinary kicks bounce off your card and are not recorded at all. The only ways past it are a kiss or a paid Super Kick, which pierces the shield for that one verdict — so every player who wants through pays for it themselves.
Is every card in the deck a real player?
Yes. A temporary seeded roster filled out the deck around launch so early cities still had enough cards; that roster has since been retired, and every card you see now belongs to a real signed-up player.
Do I need to install an app?
No. It runs in any modern browser and can be installed to a home screen as a progressive web app — one tap on Android and desktop, or Share then Add to Home Screen on iOS. There is no app store download.
There is no matches table.
A match is not a record that gets written when two kisses meet. It is a query, and the reciprocal pair of kisses in the swipe log is itself the match, re-checked on every chat request.
That one decision is why unmatching cannot leave a stale row behind, why a block takes effect in both directions immediately, and why the unread badge can never advertise a conversation the inbox will not show. Every surface that counts messages runs the same check.
