Normal, EZ Mode and Text all give me the exact same mini game with it's ass keyboard controls. What do the options even do?

Someone actually remembered that we have folklore. I don't know if you are Brazilian, but thanks.
Not Brazilian actually. Every single word of Portuguese I know I learned in the process of making this game. But yeah, I wanted to branch out a bit from the usual sources of inspiration these games tend to borrow from.

That's weird. For the record, I just played both the windows and HTML5 version and tried both options. Both were working just fine.

You are the only one to date who has reported the options straight-up not working. Seems like you're managing to back out of the menu without actually saving your settings? Are you perhaps playing the web version on incognito mode? (My best guess is your computer is blocking the options from saving) or are you maybe playing on mobile or something since TBH I haven't actually tested the game on a phone or tablet.

Edit:
Okay experimented myself and noticed the "minigame mode" option seems to reset itself if you reload the game completely, and isn't being saved/loaded properly with the game's save data. But still seems to work fine within the same session. (Ie: Loading from the menu or returning to title *without* restarting the whole game) Looking into a fix for that.

Though if the option never worked for you in the first place, I still have no idea.

I really like the art of your games and the girls are really cute. But they are too short for my opinion :(

I was playing the windows version and even double checked when the mini game popped up that I had the option selected.
No matter what I picked I get the exact same mini game. I'm partially paralyzed in my left hand so I'm not able to beat the mini game.

I'd like to do some longer episodes too, but the artists I've been hiring don't come cheap so I haven't had the budget for it. I was hoping I'd be able to make longer, meatier releases as the patron picks up or we manage to get other funding.

As a new game dev studio, I figured doing some short and sweet releases would be a better strategy for us than trying to make some big sprawling thing right off the bat that gets stuck in development hell. I actually started working on such a project but put it on hiatus for a bit to work on these shorter games instead.

Okay, that's super frustrating because one of the *reasons* I wanted to add the mode in was to make it more accessible for people that flat out have difficulty operating action games. That said, aside from the bug I was able to find with options not saving between sessions, I tried the game on two different computers (all I have access to personally) and can't figure out how to replicate it or pinpoint a reason for the options not working for you in particular.

Once text mode is on you *should* get a screen that still looks like the minigame, but instead of actually playing it, you get text descriptions of the game and dialogue options for strategies to try against Tainara that determine if you win or lose each round.

Normally I'd ask for system information like your OS version and graphics card to pinpoint system specific issues but... that should have nothing to do with the variables not being set from the options menu. I'm genuinely baffled as where to even *start* with looking for a cause.

I tried downloading from both the mirrors here as well as from Itch and still have the same issue. No mater what my settings are I still get the normal mini game. I also noticed that as soon as the mini game start my audio setting also get set back to default. There is no way to actually open the menu while in the mini game so I can't check what it shows when it starts but right before Text is selected and the music is muted then the mini game starts and the music is back.

This is definitely one of my favorite games on this website. I know it's like 30 minutes, but it's well written, cute, and looks good. Plus it has foot stuff that's not "ew you are a gross subhuman, let me stomp on your testicles."

Is there some way u can avoid playing the minigame or that is the concept of the game?
Settings -> Text mode *should* let you skip it. (It IS kind of the 'concept of the game' but text mode just replaces the minigame with text about playing the game so you don't have to do it yourself) but Chudamaru seems to be having an issue with it, so let me know if it doesn't work for you either. Might help me narrow down a reason for the bug.

I'm still going to tweak the way saving options works for the next update to see if it helps.

Thanks! I'm personally not really into feet myself so it's kinda hard to gauge what's appealing to someone who is.



Also, Announcement! (a shilly announcement, but an announcement nonetheless)

The season 1 character vote is now live on Patreon!


LBBVotePromoV2l.jpg

These 6 characters are the dating pool for next year's episodes (Gunning to release 3 episodes next year) and Patrons can for who we prioritize. (they should all get content eventually anyway hopefully, but votes determine how much and how soon).


You can read all their dating site profiles as a preview here:








(Also, if you're wondering about the next episode, that one is staring , whose design was chosen in the last vote and that's coming later this year)

Is text mode "EZ Mode" ? Because I don't see anything else. Oh, I think I get it. Have you updated the downloads ? Because I see "Version 1.1 First Release" on the menu
Edit : I redownloaded it and it's now 1.5. Strange. My first download was only 2 days ago. Oh well.

I am also getting the issue of EZ mode and text mode not working. Windows version, the game seemingly ignores that setting and just runs the regular minigame.

Really great little game aside from that; I'd never heard of the Iara before, she's super cute!

Itch.io now updated to version 1.6 which should hopefully fix that problem.


Since the minigame related options aren't working for a few people and I have no idea why, I simply removed them from the options and made it a "dialogue" choice before the mini-game starts. So you should just be able to pick text mode there and play the game.


Also for those that do play the minigame, I added a dash button and the option to turn off double tap dash. And some optimization tweaks that should allow the minigame to run better on more systems.

Also the script itself has had a siginfigant round of improvements with some new dialouge and reworked sections (especially the intro) adding some more backstory to Tainara and fleshing out her relationship with the protagonist a bit better.

Doing some testing before I update all the other mirrors in case I need to do another update.

I am missing one cg and I have no clue how to get it, I am sure I've tried every path, but clearly not.

The ping pong mini game is just bad.
It's simply impossible for the small slow-moving paddles to keep up with high-speed balls.
The wide 'goal-area' just make things worse, especially against an AI that can easily track the ball's trajectory. The game feels much more RNG-oriented rather than skill-based.

Also, the dash ability doesn't help at all. I can't recall how many times I accidentally dashed and lost.
You could just increase the movement speed of the paddles, or make the arena longer in shape so that players would have a longer reaction time.

I had no problem with the mini game and I'm not great at these kind of games, so I think you are just really bad.
