Ren'Py - One Pump Chump [v0.5.0a] [TwistedScarlett]

I'll be honest, my expectations going into this were pretty low, but decided to give it a try based on the reviews and I'm glad I did.

Great art, fun mechanics and the pacing is good. What sets it apart from most other VN's though is the writing. It's excellent, simple as that. It makes it feel as natural as a game like this realistically could be, and actually makes you care about the story, which is something that's becoming increasingly rare for me as I play more VN's.

This one is a gem. Looking forward to future updates!

It's good. Shockingly good.
One thing that I tend to focus on in VNs, especially parody's, is dialogue, and this is up to snuff. Dialogue feels like what you want to it be, and a little more.
The combat is pretty good too, same with the leveling system. As this is a very early version I cannot speak much into choice variety and story paths, but it looks promising.

I really just cant get enough of Scarletts writing is amazing.
It is still in really early development and maybe it gets a bit easier to handle the lust bar the longer the game goes on, being even useful if you got the skills to use it as a factor for attacks but overall im really looking forward to see this one get updated!~

Glad to see someone make this type of game nowadays,very fun and lighthearted. The characters personalities and dialog are actually good and the art is GOATed.
Looking forward to see what the dev will make of this game, keep it up.

Really sad to see a few folks confusing the amazing art to be AI generated.
The art is really beautiful and the story is decent. I love the added side characters, and? it's just a demo!
Looking forward to the full version, good luck and have fun on the game development!

t's good and I hope it's not aiI like it but I'm worried about the art. It's good I just hope it's not ai. I played the last game made by the dev and that was also pretty good but I have that same fear.

Waiting for next update, I've been thinking this gonna be a good novel visual, art it's so nice, gameplay it's like a mini games with mechanics as different novel visuals.
For now it's a potential good one.

whats there to say that i havent said before? im almost envious of how much of a genius this mf is, no character comes off as shallow or just a cheap excuse for a fuck toy, im almost angry about the people telling TS to tone down on the philosophy, cause for me thats the best part, how this mf lamost makes you forget its a porn game but here? here TS outdid themselves because there is only one heroine, all other ts games to some degree let you feeling a bit disconected from the main love interest, which both suck and was fine

it was fine because you had a chance to get a taste of the feelings of the other characters guilt free and it didnt make anything shy or awkward when exploring deeper into the other characters

but it also sucked because it diminished the emotional impact of the main love interest, here the romance is bordeline vanilla, i can fucking feel the sugar in my veins cause of how slow but deep the connection with the protagonist is, which is amazing cause i like this kind of wholesome aproach from someone with as high of a quality writing as TS, only weird thing would be that its a bit rushed but even that is explained in gameand quite well so not even that i can complain about

combat is decent, nothing out of this world but it aint boring either so im ok with it, i also like that TS is starting to experiment more with using the lewd elements to be meaningful in combat too (there was an attempt on UTU with that one upgrade that increased dmg based on affection but here its different) cause i think it could be further explored, wont hurt if its not, honestly its one of those games where even if its a porn game im here for the story, a guy once said that if youre playing a TS game for the story youre making yourself a disservice and i couldn't agree more, i really REALLY hope future updates focus even more on the relationship between the two protagonists cause its already wholesome af and from former games i know this dude could go even further than that

im also hyped cause TS being the writing genius mf he is always touches on complex or deep topics to truly develop the characters to a degree that is honestly even better than some big games and i already got a bunch of hints as to where the development of totally-not-tatsumaki is going and boy IM HYPED for it

there is one thing im editing after leaving the review cause its less a complain and somthing i know will probably get added later on but i feel like its missing some of the humor the other games had, i have no idea what the TS formula is but it consistently made chukle until my chest hurt in a lot of the more ridiculous moments, there was one like that in this game (the end of the kitsune fight) where i started laughing and realize thats a pice of their usual humor, i didnt realize i was missing it until i got some of it again after so much time
so yeah thats it for the edit

so yeah another TS masterpiece in development for me to look forward to, so far looking like this mf is about to drop even more fire so yeah

LET
HIM
COOK

Fantastic CGs, fun little story. A lot of content for an early game. Seems to be regularly updated. Very in depth combat builds, though I am not going to lie, I cheated ASAP. Still, great fun with the One Punch setting. I am honestly shocked no one has done it before.

Honestly, a really good visual novel. Great art and story so far for what's there. The romance with Tatsumaki is quite nice as well. Speaking of, Tatsumaki feels in-character which is a big plus for me. I look forward to the full release!

Very high quality stuff, big fan of the style and the character writing. One small suggestion is maybe flesh out the story with some more non-lewd or at least non-sex moments inbetween so it feels slightly less like an interactive gallery.

I really enjoy this so far and looking forward to even more. Twisted never disappoints. If there is one nitpick its the face your stuck with a standard name but like I said it's a nitpick and it doesn't effect the overall score. Hearing the OPM ost has brought a lot of nostalgia for me (has it really been this long?).

goat game . hope for more content .
i want some back sound effect while banging its gonna be great.
at first t thought you used ai for those picture but i totally wrong about it , your art style is absoulty great.

I came from FWB, which I absolutely loved, and this takes things into a much more personal story.

Im very interested in where this will go! Based on expected content in 0.3.0 I cannot wait!

I normally avoid games/stories set in established franchises, because the characters can often feel out of step with the "real" ones, TwistedScarlett somehow keeps his interpretations of established characters very well in line with the real thing, whilst introducing a whole new dimension to them.

As of v0.2, this game is simple, but good. Of course, I like TwistedScarlett's art, which means the CGs are already great, and the writing between Tatsumaki and the MC is surprisingly sweet. Most of the H-scenes get some pillow talk afterwards, progressing the relationship, and it's just really cute to see it develop.

As for gameplay: everything is pretty linear for the first in-game week or so. You spend each day patrolling, with each encounter having a few options on what to do, usually based on your current stats. Every other evening, Tatsumaki visits, giving you an H-scene. Eventually, once your relationship's gone to "the next level," you move to the Hero HQ, marking a shift in gameplay. After this point, more locations to patrol will open at a steady pace, combat will be more common, and you get to choose when (and what) you want your next sexual encounter to be.

That's more or less the extent of the game so far. It's certainly a strong start, and development seems to be proceeding rather quickly, so I'm very interested to see how things evolve!

definitely my favourite parody game so far. just finished all of the story content for 0.2.0, and i cant wait to see the content that'll be added in the future. all of the scenes with tatsumaki are great

as usual the art is one of the best ive seen, and the writing is also very good, im ready and waiting for more everyday!
if i had to say i had a gripe with anything its that once you finish an area, its just fights after that, id love to meet some of the people in them again, if even through menus or just random luck (could be that and i have bad luck but meh)

Damn i don't usually leave review but this game is something else, the way the relation between the mc and tatsumaki is developped is just amazing. I really got invested in it and i can't wait to see how it will evolve as of the end of 0.2.0.
As for the gameplay its simple yet really effective, it could do with a more fleshed out skill tree for futur update.
As for the shenanigans from patroll they are quite intresting of course not all of them are deep and some are just plain fun, but even simple stuff like the mosquito girl adds depth. Keep it up !

For how early in development this game is it's really quite enjoyable.

The art so far is great, the music that is here compliments the game well, the scenes themselves are interesting and the combat isn't bad either to add a little more for you to do on top of the solid amount of content currently available.

If I was to have any complaint I would say that the progression is probably too fast for my liking with the main girl but the character writing is still good so it helps cover that.

Definitely 5 stars for something early in it's development and I look forward to seeing how it grows up until completion.

This is peak, chief

One critique would be maybe that the progression with tatsumaki would be a bit too fast for me, since she shows up once every 3 days and there isn't a lot of break time given to get into the gameplay without an unavoidable sex scene comes into frame.

I figured she'd only show up if lust is 100% so it's more predictable and also stretches out the gameplay time.

I do appreciate the romantic aspect of the game, it's refreshing to see pure love-ish stuff on here again.

Overall 10/10 as always, looking forward to more from you!
