My gosh I just love it! I will test it later with my boyfriend and I tell ya what I think.
I want to make a game with the same style, sidescroller action RPG.

Ok, I just LOVE IT! Iam working in a game with the vampire survivor style, but in future I wish to make a game like you did right here. So let me put a list of things I do love it, and things I wish could have in game. And I know the game is still in development, so a lot of what I’m about to mention might already be in your plans. So, here goes.
Things I Loved:
1 - The level design—man, it’s wonderful. I not only liked the composition of the environments—which really reminds me of *Sinnestar 2*, another excellent game—but I also loved the atmosphere and the way shadows are cast on the sprites. I really enjoyed that and would love to learn the technique to use in my own games. The environment composition, sprites, rendering, volumetric effects, and parallax—that was probably the part of the game I liked the most so far.
2 - Character design: I loved the main character, and I was blown away by the warrior at the end of the demo. I thought she was stunning; I’d really love to play as her. For a hentai game, I think the design is perfect—I really liked it. Maybe consider adding skins? I don't know if that's possible, but either way, I loved the design.
3 - I liked the monster designs, especially the goblins. They harmonize well with the theme and the environment without clashing with the main character's design, so I really liked them.
4 - I LOVED how responsive the controls are. The action feels extremely satisfying—you really dodge, parry, block, or take damage. I also liked the sound feedback when landing a parry. You did an incredible job in that regard!
5 - I thought the sound design was really cool. It would be nice to have some pitch variation for the attack and damage sounds, you know? But even as they are, they’re already quite pleasant.
6 - The HUD is simple but very functional—I liked it a lot, too. It reminds me a bit of *Hollow Knight* and fits the game's theme and style perfectly.
7 - I liked the hentai scenes; they’re really quite "interesting" xD (if you catch my drift). I hope there’s more content like that—maybe some variations—so the full game can really satisfy my fantasies xD. I also appreciated that you didn't include gore involving the protagonist; that actually makes the hentai aspect more interesting.
Now, here are some suggestions—some of which might already be in the works:
1 - I think a sprint animation for the character would be cool. I really liked being able to walk using the PS4 controller's analog stick, but it would be great to have a command—like double-tapping forward, a specific button, or even a skill—to let the character run a bit faster.
2 - I know it's a demo, but level progression would be awesome. If it fits the project's scope, being able to kill monsters, level up, boost stats, or buy new moves for the character would be incredibly cool.
3 - I’d suggest mechanics that utilize jumping. The final boss has an attack where you can either block or crouch, and I really loved being able to crouch to dodge. It would be cool if the character's jump played a role in exploration, served as a dodge move, or even dealt damage during combat.
4 - It would be cool to have a "Ryona" system where, during combat, you could get grabbed and—you know—"things" would happen. I don't know if it's in the scope, but getting grabbed (especially after being knocked down) could inflict status effects on the character—like slowing her down, blinding her, or even inverting the controls. If it fit into the story as "the enemies are corrupting you," that would be really cool.
5 - I think this might already be included, but it would be great to have more attack, dodge, and movement options, etc., tied to character progression.
Conclusion:
I loved your game and am dying to play it. I really hope it gets released on Steam because I’ll definitely buy it. Congratulations, and keep up the great work! I really look forward to posting updates on my own project, and I sincerely hope you’ll take a look at it too, if you’re willing and able.
You’ve gained a huge fan—actually, two fans, since my boyfriend loved the game as well and is eager to play it with me once it’s released. So, make sure the hentai is top-notch, okay? ~_^
