Unity - Completed - Syahata's Bad Day [v1.0.5] [JaShinn]

I read shanno's review and I think it's a travesty that it's bringing this great game down. A game shouldn't be evaluated on the systems it could have, but on the systems it has. So I'll talk about the points he brought up.

1. Plot
It doesn't have one. All it has are calls to action. And that's not a bad thing, games can be just fun to play.

You are in school, there's zombies and you have a broken mop. Escape.

2. Difficulty
Mostly agree. I just don't think the pistol outshines the mop. You can use only the mop all the way to the third map and it's introduction of dogs, which are faster than your mop attack and jump on you before you can stun lock them. Before that point you only need the pistol for the ogre boss.

3. Combat
I don't think this would be improved by the introduction of a parry system since your attacks have both stun and knockback. And grenades would just remove all the challenge, which we've already agreed is on point.

4. Mechanics
Of course the good mechanics are related to combat, that's the entire purpose of the game. And while I agree that i-frames could be shorter since currently you can cheese most of the game if you surrender -> escape -> run -> repeat on basically every map, I think i-frames are where they should be for the later maps, with the flower men running faster than you.

5. Overworld
Yeah, it's a bit lacking in mechanics, can't disagree there. It would be nice if the game had more navigation options like alternative paths, crawling, stairs, etc.

6. Length
Totally agree there, the people who made this really know their game design. Difficulty scaling is great, every weapon feels necessary, the amount of porn/playtime is incredibly high.

7. Performance
My pc ran the game perfectly and disk space isn't really a concern for me. I did however found 3 separate bugs.

First one was while having the save game dialog open, one of the enemies grabbed me. This closes the save dialog but never returns control over the character, so I couldn't escape from the enemy or get up after they were finished.

Second one was on an interaction with a save point, I kept replaying the health recovery sound effect over and over again.

Third one was when I was trying to see if the half flower man had a different game over cg from the other flower man. When I realized they were the same I just kept clicking to go to the next animation, this broke the game. Last two wouldn't play. And, since the game only allows you to go back to the main menu after the last one finishes playing, I had to restart the game.

8. Art
You've seen the screen captures, you know how good the art is.

9. Scene quality
Same as art.

I don't think it should have intentional porn. This is fundamentally a game about being raped. For those looking for intentionality plus rape there are corruption games. The horse and door scenes are jokes, funny ones too.

10. Variety
Whilst I agree that there's a lack of variety in enemy scenes (1 for each and 4? of them have a threesome variant), it's my understanding that instead of having 3 different scenes for 4 enemies you got 12 enemies with 1 scene each. You even praised how the game introduces new enemies all the time. This is what allows that to happen.

11. Dialogue
There's about 4 lines of text for every enemy. 2 are for when they start a scene, and 2 are for when they finish. They're chosen at random.

It's basically garnish. It's not a story focused game so I'm happy it's there at all, but it's not impactful in any way.

12. Translation
Some mistakes here or there, but nothing offensive. Way better than you'd expect from a MLT.

13. Voice acting
Would be nice to have. Easy too, considering how little there would be to voice.

Final rating 5/5. I don't think the small shortcomings it has amount to 20% of what I can give this game.

Please check the spoiler directly below this disclaimer to understand the review. (it really helps you know whats going on)
AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE: I've beaten the game, and looked at all scenes in the gallery.

PLOT:

Spoiler: PLOT (spoilers!!)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The plot, while not really being touched on much, has great potential if it was expanded on. This didn't happen though, so we are left with a mediocre plot only provides minimal info. It's dissapointing, but it's obviously not the worst plot in sidescroller standards... especially since lots of them have a lack of said plot. Still very below from what a good plot should be, 0.15/0.4 stars.
ORIGINALITY: Search up sidescrollers with female protagonists and we see that a lot of them use basically this same plot. It's actually so repetitive to the point that i probably have three or four games with this plot, or atleast ones very close to it. 0/0.2 stars.

DIFFICULTY: The difficulty of the game is challenging, and yet it doesn't feel tedious to play! At first, the game is incredibly easy, since the enemies are weak and your melee weapon knocks enemies back pretty far, and your stamina bar is generous enough for you to be able to kill an enemy without being forced to slowly recover. The real difficulty of the game comes after you get a pistol. The pistol is ranged, which should make the game even easier, but after recieving the pistol there's a bit of a difficulty spike. First of all, there is resource management with magazines, which there aren't much of in this game. Second of all, more enemies spawn and these new enemies are also harder to beat. Third of all, you have to use the arrow keys to actually aim the pistol, since some enemies are low to the ground or high in the air. A higher density of enemies, included with the pistol's single target downside makes it so the pistol doesn't powercreep the melee, which can attack crowds. I feel like the only problem with the difficulty would be the first boss, which even with constant pistol fire is very tanky, and it took like three or four minutes to beat. This is very negligible compared to the rest of the game, which is very fair in difficulty. 0.35/0.35 stars.
COMBAT: As mentioned in difficulty, the combat has some depth to it. This is mainly in the aim mechanic with pistols and rifles and crouch mechanic. The main things you need to focus on in the UI is health, stamina, ammo (both in the mag and your mags) and pleasure. They're base mechanics in most sidescrollers like this. Melee doesn't have much depth, but it is still viable as a way to do close-range damage and save ammo, and it is very consistent since you don't have to aim. Pistols and rifles are way more powerful, but they are limited in some ways. This makes the combat more interesting since you have to rapidly switch according to the situation. Crouching adds an extra layer to this, as enemies with low hitboxes and fast movement speed can easily run under your melee or your max range with pistols and rifles. This level of combat depth is average for sidescrollers. It could be improved by a parry mechanic and maybe collectables like grenades. Still holds up well, 0.2/0.35 stars.
MECHANICS: The mechanics of this game is kind of underwhelming though. The only interesting and good mechanics are related to combat, with how the traps work being a good contributor. That's basically the only really good mechanic though. You also have the essential mechanics like pick-ups and saving, but other than that, the mechanics are dissapointing. There are no i-frames. Well, there technically are i-frames, but the way you get them is absolutely stupid. You get them from escaping traps or breaking free from battlefuck. The issue with this is that most of the time, the enemy literally doesn't see you so they walk away when you're in the trap/battlefuck. The i-frames are also extremely generous, I think it's two seconds when you only really need at max one second. You have no i-frames from actual combat, so when you are swarmed by enemies, there is not really much you can do to quell the impending wave of damage. Below average. 0.05/0.35 stars.
OVERWORLD: The overworld offers not much in its mechanics. You run around, and interact with something so you can progress. The only real importance of it comes from saving, and that's pretty much it. There is a lack of mechanics outside of combat, which is dissapointing but seeing the length of the game, I can see why the overworld was neglected in the first place. I still would've liked to see some sort of an upgrade system, even if it's very lackluster, and maybe some more fun mechanics that don't necessarily have to be from combat, like searching. 0.15/0.35 stars. I'll be generous because most cool mechanics that come from the overworld originate in longer games that are supposed to be a time investment, and this game may not be able to afford that.
LENGTH: The length of the game respective to the amount of content is marvelous. You have enough time to get used to the melee, then you get the pistol, when you get used to that, you get the rifle. But that's not it. When the enemies switch up has good timing, as when you begin to understand the nuances and hitboxes of an enemy, and easily beat it, you're now introduced to a new one that works differently to the past ones. Even in the late game, when the game runs out of enemies to refresh the game, the intriguing combinations of enemies that synergise with eash other are introduced. This keeps the game feeling fresh the whole time. The game takes about an hour or more to beat, which isn't too much of a time commitment, but doesn't make it a waste of time to download, especially if you're trying to 100% the game. 0.35/0.35 stars. It's difficult to get bored because of how balanced the length of the game is.
PERFORMANCE: The game has minimal bugs, though the hitboxes and controls can be a bit iffy, especially since the game forces you to be immobile, but I'm honestly not sure if this is intended or not. The game is around 1.8 gigs unpacked, which is pretty large for the amount of content, though i do see reasons why the game might be this large. Still, this isn't very optimal, especially for mobile or shitty laptops. The game does run well though, I think mainly because of the pixel graphics, though it could probably still do well even with normal 2D art. The game is fine in performance, though it could definitely be improved more. 0.2/0.35 stars.

ART QUALITY: Need I say anything about the art quality? Well, maybe I do, since the screenshots the game provides in the main thread is from older updates. The game's art is absolutely incredible. Both the pixel-art in the main game and CG are high-quality, and you can see the effort put into it. 0.75/0.75 stars.
SCENE QUALITY: This game excels in scene quality too, with it outputting smooth, high-quality animations, battlefuck for each enemy+gangbang for certain enemies. There are a wide amount of good sound-effects, which only adds to this subcategory. Maybe the only problem would be the actual distribution of these scenes. You can't get any cg by progressing normally since all of them are locked to losing to certain enemies, or battlefuck. Best you'll get are the people being raped in the background when progressing. The best way to improve this is to atleast have some h-scenes spread in the game that don't have to be from losing. Maybe it could be from progression, or decisions like the horse scene. I just want to see this happen, and then this subcategory will have a full rating. I'll settle for a little under, 0.35/0.4 stars.
VARIETY: The variety of the game isn't all too impressive. I mean, it's not bad for the length of the game, but it still feels like a small amount. It's usually just rape after rape with different animals. I see that all tags are represented in atleast one scene, the game just needs more variety in the scenes. 0.25/0.4 stars.

DIALOGUE: There is enough narration and dialogue to keep people happy, but I think the game could improve if this was expanded. 0.15/0.25 stars. If you're not looking for lore or a fan of games where you can just get into the action without being impeded by dialogue, this is for you.
TRANSLATION: Apparently the translation for English is MTL, but in all honesty it's a good translation and I don't think I encountered any poetry. I'm actually not too sure myself if this is actually an MTL, since it was so good for MTL. The translation does what it needs to do, and it's be understandable, which it did well. It's not publisher quality, but it's great enough for 0.2/0.25 stars.
VOICE ACTING: Has moans, and that's about it. Very lackluster, but better than nothing I suppose. This game could have easily been voice acted, considering the minimal dialogue but I understand constraints and whatnot. Still 0.05/0.25 stars.

From along time I haven't play good action at this game. This game maybe inspired by "Parasite city" game, and combine with "Alien Quest E.V.E" (of course both of them are SSS rank). I enjoy the game very much because the smooth action, which is hard to find for these action game right now.

Gameplay 8,5/10
Erosound 9,5/10
Animation 10/10

This is really a gem of a game. It's simple in it's goal, and doesn't over stay it's welcome. While the combat may take a little getting used to, it never feels unfair or overly punishing. The enemy variety is also really well paced, you never fight the same creatures for too long.
Additionally, this game is hot as hell. It has a crap ton of wonderful animations, you'll probably end up letting yourself get caught just to see them all!
10/10

I spent long few hours playing it.
Soo many times i died on purpose too see new animation or trying to see if there aint dual monster se.x stuff.
Graphic pretty good, gameplay avesome (tho figuring out controls on start was pain x+z my as.s).
2d games are best /o/

Hard stun allows me to only give four stars, and the scenes and dubbing are excellent, but the handling of the weapons is disgusting. Leaving that aside, this is a game above the average. It's worth playing.

Wonderfully animated game with a lot of content, the scenes are varied and imaginative, both the pixel art and live 2d ones.
The gameplay itself is pretty slow and clunky in a certain way, relying mostly on stamina and bullet management, but once it clicks it can be kind of fun, in a cheapo 2d re4 sorta way.

I'd just like to write excellent game but I'm forced to make a minimum of words so congratulations for this work, the anime in a game is the most important thing and the way to add various weird things, it's great

Hate side scrollers. This one looks great. Gave it a go and enjoyed it. Ain't dragged out and with the retarded censor fix for the vids and stuff it is actually 5 stars what would otherwise a mandatory loss in rating for retarded censorship. The "cheats" make the game fun and tolerable. the quotation marks are for the fact that cheating literally is impossible in any single player game.

When playing I'd recommend a macro for spamming X so you don't gotta press tap it so damn much

I have a very good opinion about this game, the CG, the in game animations and everything is very well made. However the only downside that I can think of is that there is no fast travel between stages, aside of that I think this is one of my favorite games.

Reviewed on version of 1.0.5
TLDR

You pay for the pixel arts, good animation, and voice acting.
Not really as a game

Gameplay

A action side scroller and horror? Inspired by Parasite In City and Anthophobia

But her bad days also your bad day because how slow and clunky everything are, huge gap between check points, bad telegraphic design.

Story

A cold opening like both inspired games to syahata survive a zombie to more zombies to mutant to mutate fly to mutated animals to slime girl to tentacles nest to spider nest to stranger things monsters.

Ending also give you bad day because it's a mess because the dev doesn't know how he want it to end.

Sex scene
The only thing that this game didn't give you the bad day
Well animated pixel art, game over sex videos, voice acting and sex sound effects.
Rape, futanari, zombiefied, cum inflation, egg laying, bestiality, all the way through, bondages, and Small amount of corruption.

solid monster action. worth your time. has voice acting but isnt especially great. game relies on set checkpoints for saving so can be a bit frustrating. scenes also stop after first climax requiring user to escape and surrender to repeat a scene. lack of rudimentary controls in the gallery such as autoplay, queue and speed settings are also unfortunate.

Finally this game is completed! And its really impressed me to the end and im satisfying with this game from the CG, Sex scene, high Class animation and such. Great game and easy 1000/10 from me, literally one of the best side scroller game in this site

This game was finally finished and although I played it a long time ago I am going to leave a review because of the good memories I have of it.

In the playable section I remember that at first the controls were rough and the hitboxes seemed a little strange, but you end up getting used to it, and the difficulty is adjusted accordingly. Although it is a survival game, resources are not very scarce (except for bosses who can receive entire magazines of bullets and consume your entire arsenal, so be careful). And the level design is nothing out of this world, somewhat linear but with some deviation so that the areas do not look like tunnels. Basically I would say that in terms of playability it complies and that's it.

But it is in the +18 content where it stands out, with beautiful pixel art, a large variety of enemies and scenes, very good, varied and non-vanilla animations, with game overs that show fairly well-drawn and very hot scenes, if you like that You have to keep an eye on the style, it is one of the games in which the porn content accompanies the gameplay well and you don't necessarily have to look for defeat or act in x way to be able to find it.

For me it's a 5/5, a good length, decent gameplay and great porn content.

Really great game, I love side-scrollers and pixel art and this one is one of the best ones out there. highly recommend.

There's also a few live2d animations that you unlock either if you lose or once you beat the game, and they are very high quality too, looking forward to whatevet this dev makes in the future, and if somehow he reads this, please add more mind control.

Art good. Combat is average, stamina bar is a bit of a pain, but easy when you get the hang of it. Dialogue isn't voiced, only has sound effects, moans and plaps. Game has a corruption mechanic, which is very nice. Corruption alters her appearance in menu, surrender pose, and some defeat dialogue. Lots of different enemies for Syahata to lose to.

Pretty good game. Great scenes, especially the game-over screens, which are made with nice live 2d, but the pixel art in-game scenes are great as well. The combat isn't the greatest, especially the melee since stamina runs out quick and regenerates horribly slow, and the hitboxes aren't always great either. That's my only issue with the game, but it's not very hard anyway, I ended up only noticing the nice live2d end screens in the gallery after beating the game, since even with intentionally having sex with every enemy, I didn't die once. Having the whole gallery unlock after beating the game is a nice touch as well, since you don't have to go back and get all the scenes yourself.

Amazing pixel art sidescroller. Probably my favorite genre and this one does it very well with high quality art and animations and fetishes right up my alley like rape, stomach deformation, cumflation, egglaying.

Really fun game with great sex scenes. Figuring out how to get in uncensored is a pain in the ass. It wasn't a difficult game by any means. Once you figure out the controls and manage your stamina well you can get through it pretty easily. Plenty of saves everywhere too. Towards the end, you are going to be using your rifle and pistol pretty often if you want to stand a chance. End boss is pretty easy to beat as well as long as you pay attention to her moves and dodge. I didn't get hit by her once and honestly, the gym boss was probably the most challenging boss in the game. Highly recommend. Now if only I could figure out how to unscensor the scenes.

Let me start with the good things: stunning 2D pixel graphics with beautiful pixel animations. Every enemy has their own animation; a few of them even come with a threesome. A couple of enemies even have a game over-screen or animation with 2D, non-pixel graphics. So in short, this was by far the best pixel graphic game that I have played. The kinks are very specific, and I would say niche, so don't play the game under any circumstances should you not want to see any of them. Although that should be obvious, let me say it in my review as well. Now to the things I didn't like, there wasn't much that displaced me, and the only thing that does come to mind is more like a personal problem, but I hated the controls with a passion. Even though the game wasn't very long or hard, I got proper aids using them. All in all, the game offers a pretty nice experience since it's so visually pleasing. It also comes with a little Christmas-winter DLC? Which is very delightful!
