    Dark Star... hmmm. It's not that fun, yet somehow it's still better than EVE. It has many flaws, but it's far from being bottom of the barrel.

    -Graphics: Nothing to say here. Just very good from your typical Grimhelm art. But, the animation however is strangely different. It's less smooth and spine-animation like but it's more frame by frame instead. This animation is... interesting. I can't see it as bad or good.

    -Sounds: No comment, pretty typical.

    - Gameplay: It's... something. And it's not entirely fun. See, your character lacks any sort of advanced movement. It's just walk and jump. Your attacks is a single blaster that gets stronger by picking up upgrades and new shot-type as you go. It's not very balanced as the final blaster is obviously the strongest because of how enemy spawns. Enemy are quite annoying, though manageable. Their attacks can be dodged if you jump good enough, but more importantly you have to kill them before they have a chance anyways. This game basically enforces you to... well, plan ahead a lot. It's not really cheese, but I suspect that Grimhelm intended the game to be played with only the spiral blaster, therefore they balanced the game around it. At around level 3 onwards, enemy spawns... A LOT. Behind you, in front of you, etc. They don't spawn immediately (thank you Grimhelm) because they'll slowly fade into existence. This usually means that you have to shoot your spiral blaster into them beforehand. Now I'm not saying that this is bad, but it's not THAT fun. I have to admit, strategizing and planning ahead does keep the game from boring, but it's still far from what I think Grimhelm should have done to make the game fun. You know what ISN'T fun though? The final boss. Yeah, the cube is a Touhou, bullet hell boss, and you are a woman who is takes up half of the screen's height... yeah you can see the problem now. You have a big and tall hurtbox, while you're enemy throws a hundred projectiles at once. Your jump can't help you escape here, the only game plan is punching a wall until it breaks, you have to take the hits most of the time. Luckily, Grimhelm lets the boss drop healing packs but this clearly reveals that Grimhelm basically gave up on designing the boss and make it a healing contest, a habit that have poisoned them up until the final phase of developing Alien Quest EVE.

    -H-content: sex scene is fine. There's a lot less compared to Dungeon & Maid and AQEVE, but it's still enjoyable. Again, no sort of mechanics tying the the sex to the gameplay.

    Conclusion: It's basic, but it's fine. Gameplay is not exactly amazing, but it's not a cheese contest unlike its "successor". If you have a heart of iron and can withstand some bad boss design, maybe give it a try. If you feel that the game isn't entirely fun, maybe don't bother, because it doesn't get any better. 5/10

    a very good short game, but of course, alien quest is the best of grimhelm, thats it but I liked, the weapon with the circles is the most op, you can end the game in less than 20 minutes using it, same for the boss is pretty easy with that weapon.

    The controls are smooth, in that firing can be done while holding down the button and your jump really makes you fly ahead. The level design is very basic and it's a single path from left to right with no secrets or collectables.

    There are however a ton of enenmies. Sometimes a comical amount spawn all at once. Not getting caught is really difficult and as the levels progress you'll have to button mash more and more to get out of enemy grip, which can get pretty annoying.

    The H-animations look amazing. There are a decent amount of them and we even have an uncensor patch, which I believe came from the creator himself.

    If you like simple 2D game Dark Star will give you a good hour or two of entertainment. There isn't much to the gameplay but it's a quick and fairly fun game for an afternoon.

    Another good platformer. This time about girl shooting lots of nasty aliens.

    Combat is ok but it's really easy to die from falling.

    Not many types of enemies but each one has some nice intercourse animations with our cute heroine.

    gallery was superb and the cheats was literally a click away made me like Grimhelm the dev even more. Art is superb with the girl super hot, with animations and creatures going out of the normal way of design and sex animation.

    come on, i came here to fap, not to treat every game like Dark Souls so that I can play for 5 hours grinding to the top so that I can fap for 10 minutes later. Still don't get why people prefers gameplay over good quality fap.

    Trust me, just fap and get over with.

    Boring 2d sidescroller with all the same gameplay, nice h-scenes, no plot and short game duration.
    Controls is old and simple, which is bad, because controlling you character is not pleasurable.
    Enemies spawn so rapidly, that you can't avoid getting raped, so, there is impossible to get no hit run. Also some of the levels have so many enemies, that you can only survive through their rape, which is frustrating.
    The only weapon you need in this game is spreadgun, everything else is garbage, untill endgame boss.
    Endgame boss is so easy, that you just need to shoot him with singular gun, which shoots in spiral tragectory.
    Can recommend it at least to watch a gallery, because gameplay is boring and a littlebit frustrating.

    I'm easily gave this game 5 stars despite the fact it's utter shit as a platformer but art and animations are too fucking AWESOME. Go play some Dead Cells if you want actual gameplay. I get that game receive either 5 or 1 rate coz it's not even a game, more like a joke and excuse to show some hot stuff.

    P.S. Laughing my ass off those guys who was complained about difficulty. Just upgrade "round snake or whatever gun" and clear the whole game under 15 mins. Boss kinda stupid though, yes. Controls are clunky but the game way too short and easy to bother.

    Great art, bad shooter, as another reviewer put it. The art really is top-notch as you can tell from the thumbnails, and I wish there was even more of it. Unfortunately, the controls are quite bad (even though it supports a controller, I was only able to use the joystick and not D-pad, and jump is mapped to up). Despite the game being cheap with its enemies, I was able to get to the final stage... though I have no idea how you're supposed to beat the last boss other than getting lucky with its pattern.

    Pros:
    -Art and animation
    Cons:
    -The enemies move erratically and at angles you can't easily hit them, if at all, very often parking themselves below the reach of any of your guns or IN your hitbox which essentially makes them invincible, the do contact damage and also shoot projectiles so at any and all points there's something in your hitbox waiting to hit you
    -The weapons suck ass, and soon enough there's enough enemies on screen it's impossible to avoid taking a hit, which means if you're over a pit trying to run away they'll kill you outright half the time. The game wasn't designed to have so many spawns constantly but there they are.
    -The enemies have too much health, there's too many of them, and you're always in a state where you're recovering from a hit/animation or being hit and put into an animation especially past level 2
    -The controls feel loose and janky, and you slide around sometimes like you're Luigi, it's actually extremely annoying because the only level with more than a few metres of solid ground is level 1, the rest is platforms

    Summary: Good art, everything else is awful. Luckily the game lets you simply cheat and open the gallery, they might've just as well made the game BE the gallery, or put it somewhere online so no one would actually try to play it and get frustrated. The art alone is a 5/5 but since I'm rating this as a platforming game and not a porn album since you have to take hits and lose to get the porn it's a 1/5.

    Very sexy side scroller where the enemies will rape the main character to death if she is caught by them; I spent most of the time playing this game with a woody.

    It tempts the player to die, just to watch the animations through. Health drops come across as an opportunity to enjoy another scene.

    Animations and graphic quality are quite good, and it plays well on older systems.
