Gonna respond to some of the feedback/questions here, thanks for playing, everyone!



it unlocks when the prerequisites for earning the imp cup has been met, basically you have to catch 8 monsters. The arena mode is fueled by what you've caught, not sure what you mean by "esoteric minigame inside of the game" unless you refer to using net spells to capture enemies as an esoteric mini game.
Or unless you're referring to catching the spell stone in Fuu's tent as an esoteric minigame.
Maybe I'll tip the player off to catching the spell stone in a future update if that's the one you are talking about.
I like having secrets scattered everywhere, it's something i feel like lots of games don't have enough of.


Balatro isn't an RPG and is a roguelike, it's not redundant at all. Enter the gungeon isn't an RPG either.


Addressing the first 3 paragraphs, there's no arena reward for just fighting Arachnets, so that's a you problem and not a me problem, there would be nothing to "cash out" on in the first place. Also I'm pretty sure Grubs are disabled for Arena mode, maybe i'm wrong.

Yeah the corrupted demonicon reset bug happened to me too, we haven't figured out where it is yet, but for me it happened on the mushroom level twice. And then sometimes it brings it back. Anyways, we're aware of it, thanks for reporting it, if you remember anything specific about when it happened please tell us.


Easy mode is using the trumpet of disarray spell every 8 turns.


Dunno if you knew this but sex gives you a double damage boost if you save the heroines. The sex actually works to your benefit if you strategize around it. Anyways, use the trumpet of disarray spell if you want the game to be easier.


My favorite player character is Archer/Huntress. I like monster girls. Originally I'd wanted to do the whole party was monster girls (long story, but basically the original coder i'd teamed up with had said he didn't like monster girls, then we lost contact and i made the game with Cardinal instead). I also like swordswoman because the mystery of her helmet is really fun and makes her really cute. Ninja is a baddie, but she's the most popular by far and is also the most basic and boring character design of the 3 to me, so I like her the least.


Catch 8 unique monsters in your book and then you should be able to play the arena mode.

Oh, i see, guess i didn't get how the arena works, assumed you just get points for fighting waves after you lose. The grubs are definitely available in the arena. But yeah then almost none of those things i said really matter, aside that if you want to fight arachnets alone in the arena its absolutely broken because you can never lose and leave without exiting to main menu or the game, and that due to the very long animations (which should definitely be sped up) and infinitely stacking web which can lock you for an indefinite time make the experience a horrible pain, and a pointless one since you can't unlock animations without losing because it won't save (i think that's how it works?), and even if you could, they wouldn't unlock because they don't attack, only spam web. Also the crash at 100+ webbed debuff.

The demonicon reset didn't trigger from anything, it was immediately there after i ran the new version (i unlocked all the ant animations last time i played, and when i ran it it wasn't available, though the ants where available in the arena, but they weren't unlocking on capture there nor normal mode, fixed it by tinkering with the save file though). Also think the alternative clothes cg's aren't yet available in any of the galleries? Also just got a bug where i can't free one of the heroines from the slave outfit in the hub before lvl 2, though money does get taken over and over.

I really do like how charming the 4th-wall-breaking humor is, it's kind of refreshing. I do want to voice some criticism that the difficulty gap between floor 1 and floor 2 feels a bit... drastic, even with the upgrades. Grinding out the currency and even getting all the arena upgrades, it ultimately comes down to RNG.

To be fair the current versions end-game IS the end-game so yeah with the current upgrades of course floor two would be difficult, that's a given.

Now... this is in no way a negative criticism, this rogue-like is pretty well made albeit a little clunky BUT it is still a work in progress so that's entirely to be expected. I do see the direction it's taking though, more upgrades & more perks definitely helps get past the lower floors and back into the upper floors.

It is a common formula to have permanent upgrades you can acquire to help you get back in the fight faster for rogue-likes, I certainly hope there'll be additional starter upgrades, like getting an additional ability instead of only having to pick one of two you can pick two out of four, or even three out of six. More spell choices, and maybe even alter their weapons to behave differently. Like for example the Warrior heroine could replace her sword with a hammer, instead of pushing back 2 squares she stuns for one or two turns. Or a spear, where she can hit two squares at 50% damage each, something like that.

Another idea would be an immediate heroine upgrade for one heroine, and eventually you can upgrade all three one time at the start.

There is a burning question I did want to ask, and that's purely out of curiosity... I noticed the addition of mercenaries, pretty cool in my opinion... but is there plans to go one step further?
I totally understand the game is currently centered around the three heroines we are all familiar with, but what if that roster expanded?... Could be a neat alternative to adding weapons.

Hi, I'm a lurker who never posts but I wanted to give feedback to this project.
I rarely think of buying eroges with some exceptions like Kamidori Alchemy Meister, Sengoku Rance and the likes, but this one in particular is the only non JP eroge that I would definetly think of buying on release due to how good everything is, well unless you decide to put it for 80 bucks.

Now the feedback, I've followed this project since it was posted first here and back then it was absurdly difficult meanwhile now with the outfits and Stage 2 is not entirely easy but kind of easy. I'm not asking to increase the difficulty for stage 2, but I hope it does slightly for stage 3.
I've already read that you guys want to release it once we have at least 6 stages (Stage 1 having A and B path, Stage 2 having A and B path and so on). That is indeed a good idea even if ultimately people would get annoyed that they got the "harder path", but you won't be able to do much about it, even if you balance it properly eventually people will find one path harder than another, so don't let that discourage you in the future.

The huntress is by far your best character in every way, she's the strongest unit, she's the funniest and she also has the best lewds. Followed by your swordswoman and your weakest being the ninja, although I don't understand why she's the most popular when she is in fact the weakest of the 3 and all she has going for her is that she's the narrator.

The gallery needs improvement, now that we have sprites of the girls captured I'd advice to add those to the gallery and also the moaning to the gallery. Consider as well for the future, threesomes when captured on the same turn. Take a look at something like Dungeon of Erotic Master's gallery for what I mean. Also, consider for release, to allow the complete unlock of the gallery upon completing the game without needing to get grabbed by every unit in the game.

Consider locking some of the spells to a character, to give it more personality. For example, the spell of not consuming a turn when using an item should be locked on the ninja since it fits her more.

Other things I would like to see, obviously you can ignore me and do as you please, is giving the girls more unique stats. What I mean by that is for example, giving the swordswoman more stamina but less damage (not counting the clothes), giving the ninja more unique spells that she can only use but less mind, giving the archer the ability to know when the crit would happen (like with the ninja) but lower her stamina. In short, give them stats or more unique things per unit that makes sense outside of the skills and the current Star stat.

The crane minigame is, sadly, awful. It's way too expensive for very little rewards, the only time big rewards come into play is when you score significant things while also spending an absurd amount of money that might as well use cheat engine. Not only the crane is way too hard to score, the game will detect you cheating even when all you did was try to grab something from the pile because physics will send the balls flying. If you try to avoid being a cheater and grab from outside the pile, you need to wait way too long for what you're looking for to be available to be grabbed.
The crane minigame definetly needs a big rework because as it is, I fear that in the future me and many others would simply ignore the minigame and never try to gamble (well I say gamble but it's like a guarantee that you will not get anything of true value).

You guys are doing an amazing job and I'll continue lurking, waiting until it's done or when I feel that some feedback might improve things a little.

Here, this should work
This doesn't seem to work for the latest version. Indeed, the game won't even start anymore. Anybody else experiencing this? I'm far too lazy to go through a 20-30 minute run to see the modest sex scenes, so if anybody has an up to date version of the "1 HP Mod" I'd appreciate it.

I don't know eather. I got there 2 times. And never been able to get it ever again. I restarted run on save in safe area (camp) many times, it didn't work. I only randomly was been able to get there 2 times. I guess my save softlocked it or some shit. God, this game is so buggy and it's painful.

You can’t get the same level twice in a row, that’s not a bug.
I’ll probably add a key shop to the hub later so people can get levels they want easier.
That’s something I’ve been thinking about.

I updated the game, and it's starting to crash and look very pixelated. Is this just me or the update's fault? What should I do?
Android or PC? give us specific details. There’s a Shitty resolution version AND a less shitty resolution version for mobile.
