slightly annoying gameplay but legit some of my favorite pixel art of any h game.

loads of anal animations, sex is the major gameplay mechanic, variations for animations depending on what combinations of enemies you're fucking, etc.

Its great and i see a lot of potential with this dev

Loved the gameplay more sounds could improve the experience like monsters and from the females. Animations were great especially loved the plant with round head. I am definitely subscribing in Patreon for this and looking forward to more. Also would love to see impregnation.

Its a good game, just needs a bit of polishing in the movements and in its own mechanics, and a better sense of direction, especially at the start of the game.
Nothing that can't be readjusted, with patience it will be a really a unique good game

Female protagonist, sounds, girls moaning, keep up the good work
Kinda sad to see votes, you had to wait for month to find a gem like this who is not a shitty vn number 157982.
More is clearly needed.

The concept is interesting but the game play is infuriating. The payoff is minimal and broken as some of the events trigger without the necessary action. Also, there's just something weird about it being so large but empty

Not a great first impression for the 2023-06-12 demo.

The concept is fun and original and the writing and visuals are promising, but the gameplay and map design are just terrible. The game requires lengthy exploration, precision platforming and leaps of faith, but its traversal mechanics are exhausting (progress depends on RNG and resets on bad RNG), movement slippery and maps visually lacking (bad cues for edges and ground). The complicated grappling minigame is a bad fit for a porn game. The basic looks can be excused as a demo thing, but the game is not enjoyable to play or rewarding to progress.

I'll get to my main review of the game in a moment, but first, a message from our sponsor - My last fucking brain cells.

So you might be curious on why this game has such a poor rating, and comments ranging anywhere from the platforming is booty ass, to the controls being more difficult than going out and fucking an actual woman. Now, I played this game for about 10 minutes and was able to figure out (for the most part) what I needed to do. I'm not trying to say I'm a gaming genius, but if this many people are struggling, I might want put this whole "Jerking off" thing on pause, and maybe become a world renowned mathematician or something.

Review time:
I'll keep this review part short and sweet with a small description and some pros and cons. The game is pretty much a side scrolling plat-former with simple puzzle mechanics sprinkled in. Getting fucked? Hit the Ctrl key when the indicator below the bar says to. Can't get to a specific area? Try using the enemies to your advantage. Overall it's a pretty fun game with solid animations and promising future game play, and I'm excited to see where the dev takes it.

Pros:
+ Great pixel art animations
+ Satisfying sounds during sex
+ Unique mechanics for advancing locations
+ Decent amount of content (Currently)
+ Solid options menu

Cons:
- Some bugs can occur slowing down progress
- Not much initial direction in the beginning of the game


Q&A

Q: Does the platforming suck?

A: It's pretty solid and genuinely not upsetting, grow up.

Q: Why are the controls so bad?

A: Again, the controls are fine, just takes a second to understand them. It's not rocket science. Other than moving it's literally 1 button for the rhythm mini-game. If you get confused just go into the options and learn/rebind the controls for a second, they are pretty self explanatory.

Q: How do I win the rhythm mini-game?

A: The Ctrl key. There are 3 indicators of when to press the Ctrl key.
1. The button icon below the pleasure gauge.
2. When hearts come out of the pink circle around the character.
3. When the dick fully hits the deepest part.

Q: Why are the mechanics so frustrating?

A: Crazy suggestion here, but you might be a person who's prone to getting easily frustrated. But seriously, god forbid a porn game uses sex-based mechanics to advance you through the areas. I mean damn, even the save point is sex based. Can't walk on the leafy platform? Maybe try the only plant that can.

Q: Okay smart ass, if you love this game so much why only a 4 star rating?

A: Because the game still has it's flaws. For example when trying to complete the Blob Plant Extraction quest, some of the blobs got stuck in random parts of that upper area, and I had to do some wacky fuck shit to drop through the floor and land on them to pull them out. A few more problems happened but nothing too crazy.

Final thoughts:
I very rarely will post a review, but I feel this deserved some justice. It's difficult for me to see such a promising game get trashed on by those who refuse to take a few minutes of trial and error. I think the game has a decent ways to go for improvement, but, is in no way as "unplayable" as some reviewers and commenters are making it out to be. Try the game. You might just be crazy enough to enjoy yourself.

The art, animations, soundtrack and VA are pretty good. But...
1- There is no (mini)map, making the already intrincate and hard to navigate world even more of a pain;
2- The quest journal is a mess;
3- The combat, in the form of a rhythm game, is even more of a mess;
4 - The controls are non-standard and unintuitive;
5 - There are too many enemies, and you can't really kill them, so your only option is to go around them until you're eventually caught and orgasm-killed;
6 - Each enemy has a new and unpredictable rhythm pattern, and they're not consistent at all, meaning it will "lack" a beat and change pace constantly. As if this wasn't enough, each successful hit does less damage than a wrong hit. This is bad, because you're already taking damage even without doing nothing.
7 - Dialogue is also an annoying experience, as you'll mistakenly skip it all the time as the fast text button (control) also skips the text entirely.
8 - Checkpoints only exist inside the villages, meaning you'll lose all your hard-earned progress if you die.
All of this results in an unplayable game. Moreover: There is no "back to main menu" button, there is no gallery, and the +18 notice pops up every time you open the game.
There is a lot of work to be done, but, as a somewhat seasoned player, I must say I doubt it will ever be playable. If the dev was unable to realize his mistakes, and the QC thought it was good to go, then there must be some sort of deeply rooted misunderstanding of games going on.

This game is mostly good the rhythm game and enemy grabbing you both need to be reworked, along with some more added to the tutorial.

In a sex rhythm game you really need to give your player a good idea of what the rhythm is (with a visual or something) and give them extra wiggle room for people who don't normally play rhythm games and because they'll be distracted by the sex going on, which is why they're playing your game.

Rework those two bits some the game will be far better.

-Basic game mechanics/combat not even explained, you're supposed to press ctrl to the rhythm of the sex animation
-Map traversal is awful given you can't escape sex animations in any way other than hoping you don't cum. Funny how "consent" is shown when a animation starts; a game with "consenual sex" that doesn't let you give consent! Making it incredibly frustrating to get from A to B

Overall a disappointing game to play, which is a shame given the animations themselves aren't actually bad. The combat in the game definitely needs to be thrown out or reworked

Man, wtf happend to people? This is a good platformer with cool animations but challenging navigation system. If you cannot get past the swamp my advise is simply to git gud. It has cool movement tricks like gravity change or moving over ledges when grabbed by enemies. Overall, this game has a lot of potential and content present in it, but the dev maybe needs to make the game more accessable to the casuals.

It's like playing three games at once and none are made enjoyable in the least.

You have a platformer, which does it's very best to make you hate platformers by making you immobile as fuck without any great way to prevent it (tentacles that you cannot avoid apart from having sheer luck and they tokyo drift away from you during their grab attack) and debuffs gallore that make platforming unpredictable, not to say that every now and then, you can make a perfect jump (that you have to do in order to progress) only to be grabbed back down by a tentacle...

Then we have a rythm clicker, which takes precise timing, or else you're punished hard (you always gain pleasure and when you mess up a hit, you gain more pleasure than any sexual partner receives when you click it right), making you play a downward spiral. Not only that, but you are unable to focus, because this is a platformer and you have to use the rythm clicker ATTACKS from your enemies to do platforming, so you do your hardest to focus on multiple things at once. Each of the activities usually requires your full attention to be as precise and successful as this games asks of you to be.

And to make matters worse, this has a rpg-like leveling and checkpoint system in it that does fuck all to the enjoyment of the game. After having managed to get a level higher, away from the tentacles after ten minutes, the game throws some plants at you that give no indication about the rythm, randomly swapping speed and even faking one or two hits. So you practically die on your first encounter on one of those, only to start WAY BACK at the village. It might be two screens away where you died, but the progress to get there is null and void immediately, multiple minutes of mind-numbing multi-tasking gone.

If the animation was not above average for a pixel hentai game, this project would be dropped right here and now by me, but I have the slightest sliver of hope that the dev will make the gameplay more bearable in the future so I can actually enjoy the animations.

A 3 star review I might come back to change once the development goes on. It seems like the creator chose to start the game by focusing on the visuals first and it shows, because playing it is not fun. The controls are weird, the debuffs stack and you can't move properly, you'll be constantly grabbed by enemies, the dialogues mix with the options and you can't read what you can reply, it's hard to find the objectives since the level design is kinda messy and the sex minigame is strange and doesn't make much sense.

That being said, the art is really good. You can see that he's got skills and the potential is there. One of the best pixel art I've seen here and hopefully the game will improve to match it's visuals. The ideas the dev brought into the game are also nice and could be turned into something special in the future.

Message for the developer: I hope you don't get discouraged by the bad reviews. Your game is a mixture of great art with messy mechanics and I hope you can figure it out because it has potential to become a great game.

You can't reach the part to get the item to progress the game, too many tentacles trying to grab you DOWN, and there's no way to go up beside the Bees but most of the time they require the thing that you are going to get so yea, you're stuck
