Review for v0.0.8
A very solid start to another lewd metroidvania-style game, which is probably one of my favorite niche porn game genres.
The obvious first, the art is amazing. Best aspect of the game for sure. It's a very vibrant style maybe is the word? The whole game has a nice consistent aesthetic to it thus far. Plus the character art itself of Chiro, the dog girl we play as, is very hot both in and out of sex scenes. Speaking of, the sex scenes are pretty solid as well. The CGs have variations as the scenes progress, and there's animated pixel art scenes when you get downed by enemies too.
I will say in general with animated pixel art scenes, some of them tend to be too pixelated to really enjoy. I think that's at least partly the case here. Not the worst example of it for sure, but if they were just a little more detailed maybe? It would be nice. But to caveat that a bit, it's a pretty great touch to have mini CGs that pop up as those scenes are happening.
The overview gives you a good idea of the general tone of the game. You get kicked out for being a gross gamer girl shut in. It's a fun and less serious plot to drive you into the word.
The writing itself is probably best described as EXTREMELY quirky. If you're talking to someone irl who unironically says UwU to you in a conversation, does that make you want to punch them in the mouth? For me the answer veers towards yes, so as you might guess it makes me cringe a little. The dialogue is filled with emoticons, randomly capitalized words, and the "silliness" you'd expect from someone who speaks like this. I managed to get over it in the end though.
The actual game mechanics are your platformer standard. You got a basic attack combo and a dash. These are both tied to a stamina bar that you have to manage. Thing is, besides purposely losing to enemies for scenes, there's no reason to fight them. They don't drop or give you any kind of reward or incentive for doing so, which means I just spam dash across the map in an instant. The combat also has no weight to it, which makes it feel a little unsatisfying when you do beat enemies up.
Doesn't do a ton different from other platformers, but the art being as good as it is still makes this enjoyable. The game mechanics are a decent enough base for it. If the game gets fleshed out more I'd probably give it 5 stars.
