HTML - You Throw like a Girl [v1.8.0] [Vim]

One of my favorite games on the site... I love it, but there are a bunch of things that could be improved.

The way it approaches gender transformation (gradual, body changing before mind) is one I (as a cishet male) find to be a more immersive way to explore "what is sexuality like as a girl" than any other I've found.

The reactions from the MC's surroundings, in my opinion, strike a good balance between surprise/confusion/teasing and acceptance/support/encouragement. Not all characters are necessarily likeable, and that's ok (not saying they couldn't be improved though...).

The biggest downside in my opinion is the forced pacing. It plays like a sandbox, but there are hard time limits - both for the game as a whole as well as for individual storylines. Do you feel like it would be more immersive to you to cautiously explore the transformation and getting to terms with being a girl slowly BEFORE starting to get physical with the main male love interest? Sorry, not an option - he gets together with someone else and stays that way. You essentially HAVE to start being physical with him while he and the MC still considers the MC to be a guy.

There are other areas that could be improved as well, but the forced pacing is the one that prevents me from giving this a 5, despite how much I've enjoyed it.

Pros:

• Gender transformation done in an interesting, immersive way
• Reactions are somewhat believable and balances acceptance with light teasing
• Paper doll helps imagination along (despite many sprites being rough)
• Options for encouraging, resisting, steering and accepting transformations
• Writing quality is overall quite good
• I didn't encounter nearly as many continuity errors as one might expect from a game like this

Cons:

• Hard time limits for game as a whole and for certain content (and often not communicated at all why/when you were locked out of something)
• Missing repeatable "filler" events for some actions - later in the game, some events read as if you're doing them for the first time, time after time.
• When there are repeatable events as filler after you've exhausted unique events of a type, they are often wordy (which led me to kind of start skipping reading most things near the end - and overflowed into barely skimming the actual story events).
• Sprites are often a bit rough, especially for background characters, some clothes etc.
• Clothes variation quite limited.

I feel like this is a good experience, worth playing if you're at all curious about the premise. As much as I love it, I have to say I unfortunately think it will be very difficult to fix some of the issues. Having the game feel more dynamic when there's this amount of choice (as far as how the transformation progresses) is a complex task, and from what I'm seeing in-game and in the game files, it seems fairly hard coded to follow a somewhat strict path.

Still, if the author could figure out a way to have major story beats happen only when certain conditions are met (parents visiting with related big event I won't spoil, championship finishing) etc, allowing me to sit through the repeating filler events and progress more slowly *if I prefer* would be enough for me to rate it a 5.

Fuck Raven, Fuck the no option to kill her, We started as a jock By day 2 at least give the option to strangle her. Writing is good, transformation felt believable. But no revenge is bullshit. 2 star for pacifist ass writing

Don't often leave reviews but this game was pretty great. It's nice to finally see a game transformation game that isn't all about humiliation and bimbofication. It's also pretty lovely to be able to accept the changes and not be forced to become a huge slut that fucks anything that occupies a place in existence. All the characters felt like they had actual personality and at no point did I get bored of reading interactions with them. Only complaints I've got are the sex scenes are pretty lackluster and repetitive and I wish there was more substance to them, specifically with Jessica since she's the only path I played (didn't really like Raven and anytime I did start to she said something that made me want to punch her face off) and maybe a little more variety with repeatable events, for instance the Yoga event doesn't change at all even though I've done it a bunch of times but maybe I just didn't do it enough times or didn't have a certain transformation. Overall I had way more fun with this one than I thought I would and was actually interested in it for more than a quick wank. Thanks for the good work

I'm really torn on what rating to give this game. It's competently done and I think it succeeds very well on its own terms. I can't knock it for either concept or execution.

On the other hand, rarely have I ever hated a character in any game, from H-game to mainstream, as much as I hate that fucking psychopath Raven. I want to see her dead, by my hand, and then I want to chop her into pieces and put the pieces into a wood chipper. And then I want to set the pieces on fire. And then I want to piss on the ashes. This is such a powerful feeling that it completely ruins the game for me and makes it unplayable.

On the other hand, it's rare for a game to succeed in evoking such a powerful emotional response. That alone is worth 2 stars.

To the creator, Jessica is the fucking GOAT. I keep wanting to do the Griffin or Raven paths but she wins my heart every time. I highly recommend this game it is worth playing and following the updates.

HTML games don't usually get a lot of attention, but this is a very good HTML game. I do like the slow burn of the transformation. This game really isn't meant to be getting off on, but rather engaging in its story. If you're looking for a porn game for a ton of sex scenes within ten minutes from the last sex scene, this isn't the game for you.

There's choices spread throughout the game and it impacts who the protagonist is at the end (including the transformations that happen first), and the relationships you have with others.

The game isn't difficult, and while reading might not be the most fun thing to do, the dialogue is good, and can be surprisingly deep at points.

I'm still waiting for it to be completely finished, but for the most part it's finished and gets updated regularly (from what I've seen).

Overall, this is one of the better HTML games, and even if you're not into HTML games, I'd recommend giving it a try.

Review for version 0.48.1:
In general is super great game, where you have mupltiple ways to transition into girl with a lot of in place and you have avatar that will almost perfectly display your state.

Advantages:
1)You almost instantly get a pussy and become something like a cunt boy, because I personally dont like transitions where you have penis almost all the way during progress
2)Complicated system of different ways to transition and how much you transition your body and mind, tecnhically different players may have completely different situations about their state and game almost perfect support that.
3)Huge ammount of good events and content, may take 5-10 hr to finisht to the end of the current version.
4)Good story telling, emotions descirbe and people reactions.

Points for improvements:
1)There are few sex scenes and 1 repeatable but they have strange system abut arousal, cock will get hard at about 75% of arousal and at 100% this is the end of sex, you dont even need to touch it, just undressing or kissing can lead to an orgasm. I think it was better to create separate bar "pleasure" for finishing sex scene.
2)I would really like to see more sexy scenes, maybe when someone see your naked female body but you cover your face, or maybe some naked photos of you got leaked, because current scenes almost all focus about your state of transition, and almost no sexy events like as if you always was a girl/corrupting
3)Not enought of sex scenes, there are just a few and repeatable BJ scene
4)People reactions are not fully support fast transitioning, I was enjoining to make fast transitions and enlarge boobs, ass and other parts of body but events of game were not expecting that: during pool events you have massive boobs in female swimwear and it is obvious that your are no longer a boy, during morning shower event you can pass through boys without covering your massive tits and speaking in female voice but no big reaction from them
5)Many school events almost have same and repeatable content in them, so you go through them for like 20-30 time and no changes in them, it is more noticable by the end of 0.48 version but that is probably because of fast transitioning and unfinished state of game I suppose

Not usually a fan of magic transformations, but this is really well written and there is enough story substance to make it worth playing, imo. The characters are interesting, and although a bit cliched, that suits the game well. There is lots of freedom in terms of the narrative and also the relationships you develop with the supporting cast, definitely not just a kinetic novel/CYOA.

Unfortunately, the extent of that freedom means that some of the paths are not very fleshed out/a bit buggy at the moment, but Vim has done a great job with consistently updating the game, and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

It has a very good story 5/5 the designs are good for being an html and I can't wait until the next updates, that they should put some animations for certain moments and with that the game would go to another level

reviewing 0.44.1
Lots of fun, great characters, believable situations. As this is an incomplete game it is understandable that there are a few broken paths and places to get stuck. The quality of the game makes those situations easy to deal with, for now.

There are multiple paths which allow for multiple plays. IMO some are better than others, but all are believable and worth playing.

Really loved the game, the storyline is kinda cute and exciting at the same time, and the transitions finally don't feel stupid/surreal in this game like many others.
The characters are cute and while unfamiliar with this art style, it's really enjoyable.
Great work >.<

This is excellently made game so far for twine engine, even though it is day to day life simulation like a lot of twine games, it doesn't feel as repetitive. Story has few but well developed branches. I've been following it for at least a year and it is developing well, I hope it will continue this way.

One of the best transformation games out there. Though, I can't lie, I liked being the jock/Star QB and was lowkey hoping I could avoid being cursed by being nice to Raven. Nope. The canon route is to be a douchebag to her brother as a male, otherwise Raven just seems petty as fuck because she curses you regardless. Like, damn. I was humble, gave the dude advice and you're still gonna' take my dick away?

On the positive side, there is a ton of content here, and unlike 99.99% of the genre, the MC doesn't come off as a total fucking slug, loser. The sex scenes were hot, as well. Good job, Dev.

4*

Review is for v0.39
Really great game here.
Honestly, I don't really have any complaints. Any issue I had with the game was due to me not reading the update notes to know when to stop playing and doing an endless loop thinking I was grinding for the next content, which felt off because there really isn't any grinding in this game.
One change I would like to see is there being hints as to what decisions did, and when a decision locked you out of certain content. There's a hint tab that takes care of the second part of this, but I was so into playing the game I did think to check it once, and then got locked out of the path I was trying to go down. But that's not a game issue, it's a me issue.
All in all, I just can't wait for the more content so I can experience the continuation.

reviewed v0.39

this game has way more content than i expected and has no business being this good. well written characters and interesting storylines, albeit a little grindy.
if you're just after a quick coom go play something else, but come back to this one after.

sometimes a little nonsensical how you can be presenting fully female with giant tits, long hair etc, and still be concerned about being seen in public wearing a dress or whatever, but that's just the storyline progression.

The game is huge and has a lot of choices but its not a porn game. Its either a simple text based rpg about mtf transitioning or an extremely simple and straightforward princess maker about football. Yes, it has sex scenes and some content related to transformation, but its not erotic at all, also it features no images except for characters and locations. First 3 hours of the game (probably can be a little bit faster if you drop your gf to force-accelerate gay route) mc has only 2 partners, his gf and gay buddy. And all this time mc will look like a guy (although he gets a hairy vag right in the beginning), so you can imagine what sex scenes are about, I dont think that there are too many people who are into this shit, on top of that they are extremely repetitive and written in a non erotic way (i purposely waited for mc to turn into girl to confirm my impressions with him in a new, desirable by me role). For example, theres a game, Magical Camp, it doesnt even feature any sex scenes (well at least when i played it) but all of the transformations were written in a highly erotic way and meant to be fappable. So even a game without sex scenes or erotic play is more of a porn game than this one. Or we can take for example perverted education, its alot similar to ytlg in structure, but content wise its an actual high quality porn game with massive amount of porn content which barely may be considered as mtf transition roleplay although in a very erotic and reluctant way. On the contrary ytlg features no reluctant roleplay, almost all changes are completely desired by mc, chosen voluntarily and he doesnt show even a minimum plausibility level when facing even unavoidable transformations and trying to look upset (all of them are in the first minutes of the game).Both of these games also feature a therapist content, but when in pe its purpose to provide porn, in ytlg it looks really like a therapist genuinely trying to help a transitioning person or maybe its just graphomania, im not an expert. So i cannot recommend this game for anyone looking for a fap content, but some trans people may find it interesting storywise.

Version: 0.38.1
What's good :
The content for this game is really nice, long text yet not boring, goes to the point when it needs to, takes it time to flesh out the few characters that are important.
As for the tags you get what you were promised, transformation, futa/trans, gay and even more to uncover for yourself. Alot can get avoided ans seeing where the game goes routes seems to be more and more customisable
Good fap, story delivers, gameplay is smooth.

Now for what's bad or can be improved :
As always with this type of games, you can only do more routes, and that often means LOTS to write and re-write, but this is what give this genre his spice and YTLG is no stranger to this, you will get few content if you enjoy harder kinks, few content if you are vanilla.
Sex scenes can easly be a weak point for text based, YTLG do not nail it. Its good, good enough some might say, but compared to the content proposed here it looks like it can be heavily improved.

To end on a better note, this game has untapped potential, and should be given a chance by anyone who like the tags because it already have quite alot of content.

It's really quite good from what I've played through. The dialogue is honestly better than a lot of other twine transformation games haha, which is a nice touch.

Excited for more content to come out, but was definitely pleased with how much there already is. I played through the continued transformation path and at least several hours I think, though I probably wasn't going through it as fast as I could, since I was playing around and seeing what else could be encountered.

The MC isn't a megajerk like you'd expect to get a curse this awful. The person who curses you acts like a sociopath and the reasoning for the curse is super flimsy. The setup for the story feels like it's coming from the perspective that someone into sports is automatically evil because they're good at sports, when that's not how the character is portrayed. This is like revenge porn... except you're tormenting someone relatively innocent.

On the positive side, it's better structured than most HTML games since you're not clicking through 100 menus for something to happen.

But I just don't enjoy reading through the justifications of an evil incompetent witch.

A really enjoyable transformation game. The protagonist begins as kind of a douche but as the game progresses he is humbled by his transformations and that informs changes in his character. This gives him some relatabilty which helps draw you into the story.

As with most HTML games it stands or falls on the writing and thankfully the writing here is pretty good. The UI is simple and easy to navigate, there isn't much art/images etc. but it doesn't really miss them.

Id definitely recommend it to people who are into transformation/feminisation themes. I liked that, while the transformation is forced on the MC, you still have some choice about how far or fast it goes, which helps this stop being a rail road.

I think the game would be improved with more potential romance options, as things stand you can only really romance one character, though there are encounters with others along the way.

Definitely a game I will come back to in a few updates time (assuming assuming dev continues with it).
