first off, loved the game and cannot WAIT to see how it turns out, especially if it lands on steam like OPP, and i also have some suggestions
1: for a new type of curse/effect, what about some sort of animal person transformation, giving the character the ears and tail of that animal, and maybe changing their skin color to try and resemble the fur of the animal. maybe you find a room that points out that you could make it through, but only if you were faster, and earlier in that level is a room that curses you to have bunny attributes, so by getting that curse, you're now faster, and can make it through the room.
2: this is moreso a customization thing than anything, but i feel like just having the option to have a male character would be nice. hell, for all i could care you could just have them start out as flat chested, use the sprites from OPP with the portal bras, and that is the only change. it feels like it would be easy since the assets are pretty much already there, and it would be a nice feature for bisexual people like me.
3: having some sort of "free mode", maybe in the form of an item parodying something like the star from mario, where you don't take any damage and don't die, would be nice, allowing players to try to string together rooms or interactions that they otherwise wouldn't due to enemies. maybe something like being able to go through the cowbell room, and being able to still go past the skeletons, allowing you to still encounter the octopus and beating the level that way. maybe even some special dialog. then you can just lock this feature behind already having beat the level, or something.
4: something like the sandbox mode from OPP, where you can mess around with all the items you've gathered so far, and have access to the theoretical new effects added since OPP.
for now those are all the suggestions i have, hope you give them some consideration!
Thank you for the suggestions!
#2. I hadn’t thought of that! And you’re right, flat-chest would be easy to implement. I would just need to add a caveat that any BE effect would jump straight to the boob size the boob-havers would. Otherwise, the game unbalances. I’ll look into that.
I think the game’s primary demographics are men who like big boobs and trans women who want big boobs.
