    This game just needs too much work in its current state. The potential is there and the foundation is slowly being built up but theres such a severe lack of polish, content, quality, and quality of life options. The models themselves are really simple with no real big detail so the content needs to eventually be more extensive with available positions and such, although it is early access still but moving at a snails pace unfortunately.

    The gameplay is very straight forward as a roguelike with a top down shooter perspective. Personally I kind of hate that the top down is not perfect and is at an angle so the depth of the room just feels pretty awkawrd, especially for movement, but that might just be me. Theres room for more characters to allow for more gameplay styles which would expand the replayability the game has to offer. Unfortunately though the game is pretty heavily reliant on RNG because you can simply go through runs and not get shit to actually help you. With two movement items and two crit based items in the default pool the early game is pretty much an annoying slog and unlocking items requires you to sacrifice an item pickup to get a memory and then use a rare currency to unlock said item. While in theory this is a nice progression mechanic it's made very annoying and slow when the lowest price is about 65 and a run might only net you only about 3 if you're really unlucky or 10+ depending on how far you get and if your drops are good.

    The porn itself is very lacking. The one thing I hate, goes back to QoL options, is that the randomized camera is always defaulted to on with no way to turn it off aside from doing it every single time you instigate a scene. Theres a handful of positions for now accompanied by a minigame where you have to press space bar to the beat which slowly increases in speed. The perfect timing is very small and relatively unforgiving but isn't too difficult to get down. However the minigame is so demanding the porn might as well not be there as the end of it gets so fast theres no possible way you could do it by paying attention to the animation. It's also really weird how the porn is implemented because your lust accumulates slowly and once you get enough you can fuck the last girl of a room clear in order to spend it on rewards based on a rarity system where stronger girls emit a different colored aura to help determine the quality of their drops. This, however, feels completely pointless because the drops don't really differ in quality. Pink? Blue? White? 1 coin and 1 life up, thats it, keep playing. Not to mention it prolongs the game because the minigame takes several mintues to do.

    The gameplay and the h-content really work against each other and with the slow paced development I don't see this game getting out of the mud any time soon.

    With it being a pre-alph build, I feel it is excellent since the gameplay is fun and the scenes are funny (Though a little clippy in it's current state). You only have one attack, which is an energy ball. And one form of dodging/avoiding attacks at the moment (Hopefully a skill tree is added). The devs added a debug command which gives you unlimited health so it is a joy to play even in its current state. Not much work has to be done before this game is exceptional.

    Bullet-hell with floaty / sliding controls is a terrible idea, especially when there's rooms with spikes and extremely narrow passages
    The controls on scene-view mode is also awful, usually centered on the ground.

    So that's both sides of the adult bullt-hell made bad, since it could still be fixed the rating won't be the worst.

    Well it's a dungeon crawler, "Binding of Issac" like game.
    Good start, the controls feel smooth and the gameplay has potential. I'd say the performance could be improved and there's not much content (of course) as of now. The download size may can be optimized too.
    overall good start for a solid game.
