Honestly, in it's current state i can't really recommend this game. And i'm usually fairly forgiving of smut games as long as they actually deliver smut, which this one really doesn't.

The character art and animation in this game is absolutely amazing compared to its contemporaries. Very few games i've played really nail the character art as good as this one. Sadly, it really isn't used to much effect. So while the art is fantastic, there's not nearly enough smut to mark the art do what it does well. The few animated scenes are great too, but again, they are too few and far between.


While it can get a bit repetitive due to the lack of tracks, the music that is there is pretty good. Nothing to knock your socks off or anything, but good enough. No complaints.


Customizing your ♥♥♥♥♥♥/crew is actually pretty fun. Especially considering you can get them in various shapes and sizes. Femboys, futas, dudebros, and chicks are all pretty well represented. And from what i can assume there will likely be more transformation mechanics in the future.


With some refinement(and actually adding some smut) this game could be quite interesting. I could see how they could refine some of the systems to make an interesting game here. Time will tell.

This is a terminology i've come up with for myself in regards to smut games. Generally speaking, a smut game needs at least a 40/60 or 60/40 smut/game ratio for me to really be interested. Smut games are in a hard spot because if it has too much "game," why am i not just playing a regular game? As most smut games have fairly average to mediocre gameplay as a result of being smut games. If the game has too much smut, that just begs the question "why not just go look at porn?" since it'd forgo the reason to even be a game. This game falls into the former category, a crying shame considering how good the art is.

Games like Corruption of champions, Trials in tainted space, Tales of androgyny, etc all hit this ratio perfectly and are amazing for it. This game is more along the lines of 10/90 in terms of smut/game. And sadly the "game" portions aren't really good enough to carry that.


This game can be insanely grindy if you don't just cheat yourself a billion gold in currency. Some people dig it, but in a smut game this just makes it take even longer to get to the little smut there already is. You know, the entire point of playing these kinds of games. There's nothing wrong with giving the player things to work towards, but most of the things you'll be paying are straight fees(travel/wages/healing/etc.) Rather than anything that actually feels good to spend money on.


Exploration missions are, for lack of a better word, fairly boring. You run around a grid map and pray to RNGesus you can get the event tile that will spawn the key so you can actually progress. The combat itself isn't too bad once you get the hang of it, with some refinement it could be good, even. But the lack of audio/visual polish really just drags down the whole experience here as well. All of this could easily be excused with more smut, but as i said earlier, there's barely any. So with this as the game's primary focus rather than a means to an end, the gameplay gets more scrutiny from me.


Interactions with your crew and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ are entirely too barebones. The way the game is structured you feel like you'd at least be able to have a few dialogue options or the ability to engage with sexytimes with your crew, but outside of the main plot they're about as alive as a fire hydrant. ♥♥♥♥♥ interactions are interesting in that they're pure text, but can get pretty repetitive.


While i don't really mind the fact the game doesn't have voice acting, the "grunts" the characters make during speech are often far too frequent and eventually become insanely annoying. It's a minor thing, but it just adds up over time.


Certain actions will just cause the game to crash almost constantly, especially using products on crew members/♥♥♥♥♥♥. Save as much as possible, this is just more of an annoyance and will likely get fixed as versions continue.


For 10 bucks i won't say i feel like it was the worst purchase ever, but i can't really recommend it in its current state. Definitely wait to see if this one gets more time in the oven, because as it stands outside of it's amazing art(which regrettably barely gets used for its intended purpose) there really isn't much of note here.

Honestly, the game just needs more smut and character interacting content. A lot more. With that, pretty much most of my points would be entirely forgiveable/forgettable. We'll see how it goes.

A great puzzle co-op game, and is even more ridiculously fun with 4 player couch co-op, especially on challenge modes. The humor in the game is quite good, and the art direction is very good as well.

There is also a hardcore difficulty, where you get a character with all of the abilities, but can't respawn for all of those people looking for a challenge.

Be forewarned, don't get this for full price if you only intend to play the main story. As this game is less than two hours in length if you have a good grasp on the puzzle mechanics.(story mode only, challenge modes and hardcore difficulty ramp this up significantly i'd assume)

Overall if you have at least a friend to play this with, i feel it's worth it if you can get it for a decent price. It's a great romp while it lasts, and the challenge modes(the ball challenges specifically) are highly entertaining with 4 people.
