That would be an awesome move but it's a ton of work for someone working alone on the game. That said, stay tuned because something similar may happen this year!
Its an alright game but as a 'nsfw' game it fails, all it has is nudity which can only be achieved by dying and doesn't even have layered clothing which can be stripped
I get your point. From my point of view, nudity is enough to be tagged as NSFW. I understant that if you're looking for sex games, the game will end up out of your range and you'll be disappointed, and I'm sorry about that. I still hope you had fun playing it!
I did have fun, I usually get satisfaction from killing enemies in any type of game and thats my fav part of this game. My only complaint was that I found this when I was looking for platformers with sex. Oh and if you made it so that the more you get damaged the more clothing you lose that could probably get you a few more players
apologies for asking/If I do not understand, but currently the only NSFW content is nudity upon death from what I could gather from the description, correct? or am I wrong?
That's absolutely correct, it will also be the case in the final product. This is not a sex game, if this is what you want to know. No need to apologize! Many players came up with the question, and even though this answer seems to trigger mostly frustration, it's a totally assumed decision from my side.
I think the game's pretty neat- props to the VA, her voice is amazing. The animations are really good too, and the game offers some interesting challenges. I think the first boss was pretty cool.
The main issues are in gameplay awkwardness and the inability to play at fullscreen or other resolutions. I couldn't see any of the pits because the were hidden below my menu bar, and the vertically challenged sword hitbox combined with her continuing to crouch/stand if you press slash despite inputting something else along with the many projectiles aimed at your fairly large hurtbox combined to produce an experience where I was getting hit every few seconds and getting a game over to refill on health and lives was more effective than attempting to keep my vitality up.
Is there any explicit content for this game planned in the future? Cause otherwise, I am a bit confused by your decision to include nudity on a game that could be given to teenagers if not for the death animations.
First, thanks for the feedback! It always helps to have inputs from players. Before I continue, and maybe you are aware of it, this is more like a tech demo than an actual gameplay demo. There is still a long way to go, but thanks to players like you the gameplay can be slightly adapted in order to get the best gameplay experience. Also, I'm not a professionnal dev, just doing this as a hobby, all on my own, so I learn a lot from feedback like yours.
The borderless fullscreen by default was an awkward choice from my side, I agree. I haven't considered that the resolution could be an issue for players, and this will definitely change!
The game is meant to be hard. Although, it's quite a challenge for me to balance it properly. I chose to go with these difficult sword hitboxes and I keep trying to balance them almost every gamedev day. In the future though, there will be a defensive ability-ies that will allow you to have more balance between these precise attacks and defensive mechanics. (This tweet will give you a hint: https://twitter.com/BigBeaverProd/status/1483253865713741827 )
About the explicit content, well, players usually are disappointed with my answer, but there will be no explicit content in the final game beyond nudity. The two reasons are that I started the game with the objective of making clothes destruction upon taking damage or dying only, and that I did not feel like making more for now. This is my first public project, and I understand it's meant for a niche audience, but I'm still doing it as a hobby and not as a profession. I hope you understand that point of view. Once the game is finished, I will consider making a SFW version, maybe by limiting the clothe destruction to the underwear level only, but that's just an idea, not a promise.
In the future though, once I'll have some experience with this project, I totally consider making projects with more explicit content!
Thank you very much for these useful thoughts! ( Don't hesitate to follow me on Twitter, and you're right, the VA is amazing! You can check her Twitter too: https://twitter.com/GinaGaloreVA )
Fair enough! I think the tweet you shared is pretty neat, though I have to admit that balancing parries (and other defensive options like rolls/dashes/shields) between overpowered and useless is hard.
I think the game being limited to nudity is fair, though I do feel like it unnecessarily limits the number of people who can play it I can also understand building the game specifically for that (it's even in the name lmao). Do you plan to create other games in the future? And will they be more explicit or sfw?
Finally, could you upload this to newgrounds? I think that'd really help with getting it more attention.
Thank you! There will also be a dash ability, included in the next major update with the shielding ability but it's still very WIP at the moment.
Yes, I'll make more games in the future ( if I ever finish this one already, lmao ), and I can promise that if it happens it will be more explicit!
I will consider an upload on Newgrounds for the next update, probably around late February/March, but as I have no fixed schedules/deadlines, these dates may change a bit.
cute. kinda bizarre choice for default controls, the standard for this kind of thing is usually arrow keys for movement and z, x, and c for your standard 3 buttons, usually z for confirm, x for cancel/menu, c for whatever's left. played through the whole demo anyway, it's a fine tech demo, everything seemed to work and i didn't encounter any bugs, so good work.
I'm aware that the current controls are not everyone's standard, but be sure that in the final version there will be more controls available. The reason behind this is that not every characters' moves are implemented yet, therefore the controls will need adjustment too at some point.
Kind of floored at the polish of this game, love the jiggle animations, of course! I'm also a fan of 'soft ryona' and really love the couple of different death animations featured in the game, as well as the game over and clear screen. Art is great, game plays super well, I can't wait to check out a full release :D
Promising, on the side of gameplay it's solid. I feel like the player characters might be a bit bigger than they need to me and it gives me flashbacks to Super Castlevania IV, but otherwise it works fine.
On the side of sexy stuff the animations are very fluid, and the motion of the jiggly bits is very well done. If you don't mind me asking how come there's no planned actual sexual content though? Making the game 18+ while the only mature thing included is nudity when you lose a life seems like a bit of a weird decision to me. It means anyone younger shouldn't be playing while anyone interested in the game for the adult content is kinda blue-balled.
To answer your question, I've always liked the fact that characters could have their clothes torn off at some point in games in general, and I like soft ryona. That's why the game features a simple "classic" gameplay with nudity only, and no sex. Also, it's easier to make ( this is my first public release ever and I'm working alone on it ). The nudity alone is enough to tag the game 18+.
In the future though, I'm gonna try to make spicier games. I know people tend to say that I'm missing a huge target by not including sexual content, but I'm doing gamedev as a hobby and do not plan to make it my main occupation ( understand: I do what I like ). It might sound disappointing to some players and I understand that point of view. My answer to them would be "Sorry, but wait and see!".
Thank you for playing the game, I hope you enjoyed it!
That's fair enough, making a good number of sex animations of that quality would be quite a bit of work and if you're doing it on your free time it would be slow going. Definitely still going to keep an eye on this and look out for any future games from you.
Good work so far! The animations are all smooth, and the enemy variety is enough that each stage had its own challenges based on who you were fighting.
To get the gameplay a bit smoother, I'd say that crates should be breakable with a standing attack. They look the perfect height to be destroyed standing, but I'd miss, and have to remember to crouch and attack. It can put the brakes on game flow sometimes.
The core gameplay loop is pretty solid, though. Looking forward to what's next! I heard there was a more advanced build floating around somewhere...
Thanks for your kind words!Totally agree about the crates height, it feels a bit strange not to be able to hit them while standing. This will change at some point in the game development.
I'm precisely updating the itch page. Currently ( August 9th 2021 ) the V0.2SB is the most advanced build you will find anywhere. Maybe it's more advanced than what you think. Have you read the readme file?

Solid work.
Thank you!
o jogo mais bonito que eu já joguei, para ficar perfeito só faltou as animações de sexo.
Eu compraria a versão completa com as animações sem duvida.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment!
I wonder you can give an alternate costume for three girls by letting them play naked
That would be an awesome move but it's a ton of work for someone working alone on the game. That said, stay tuned because something similar may happen this year!

Ah, I see, good to know. thank you for elaborating!
Would it not be a good idea to put it in the description that it is not a sex game then, perhaps?
That's already the case! I put a TLDR at the top of the game page mentionning that the game doesn't contain sex scenes, only nudity.
Love the choice of characters so far. Really hoping we get more death animations/game over screens in the future!
Thanks, I hope so too!
Okay this is fun. Needs a gallery though, so I can watch that clothesplosion and jiggle without having to get myself killed.
Well, that's an idea! Thanks!
( If you check the readme file, you'll find a small tip to start the game with 99 lives and some other stuff. Just sayin'! )

good
Thank you for sharing this, helps a lot! I hope you liked it!
will there be anything sexual or just nudity?
Hey, there won't be anything sex-related in the final game.
T^T
Its a good game, very well animated with lots of sexy potential ;)
Thanks a lot for the kind word! It's really appreciated!
