I feel like the Devour glyph doesn't really live up to its name. You'd think it'd be good as a snowball that picks up damage the more you fail to stop it. But it just takes longer to stop.

I'd rather see Devour go "if it wins, it gains 10% damage instead", or something else along those lines. This way, more dangerous opponents who might use it prompt you to be prepared with a cleanse or defense rune to break it before it becomes a nuke. To compensate, it may be possible for a glyph to have "final" ratios that affect how much power they can gain (after materials) so getting that giant unstoppable nuke is harder to obtain.

Okay, more proper review:

If you've played the original, most of what you see will look and feel quite familiar. Although it'll still feel refreshingly new between the lack of grid locked movement and Lacto gaining the ability to jump. I am totally looking forward to the final product after the OG game has been dead for so long.

Even though I've completed what events the demo offers, I'm totally gonna see just how big I can get Lacto before something stops updating.

Individual critiques:

Auto Saves should only be dedicated to the auto save slot, not both the auto save AND the last manual save.

The dancing game feels like it's hitting me after I escape the hit box, which makes it slightly harder than it needs to be. Although this might be solved with an extra highlighted box to indicate where Lacto would be considered "hit".

A sprint toggle would be nice. Especially for trying to get back since a room change/teleport will stop sprinting and need a new button press.

Since milking machines outside of rest areas are limited use now, this sparked a suggestion in my brain when it comes to difficulty. Easy mode: All Milking Machines work infinitely. Standard: Milking Machines outside of rest areas have 3 uses max. Hard: You can only milk yourself in a rest area. Obviously, more factors can be included as well.

I feel like the recipe book for the Gluttonous Fairy could at least list the main ingredient, leaving Lacto to figure out anything else.

Tried to play the web version. Crashes as soon as I try to leave the first floor. Lots of errors.

Trying the downloaded version though, will make another reply once I'm done with that for more proper feedback.

Bug, the Dragon Female crystal produced a Dragon Male offspring for me. I haven't gotten a second crystal to be sure, but it was definitely not expected.

Any chance we can get the 0.2.0 version for download, rather than only being able to play it in browser? I tried to click "Download" from the announcement page but I can't get any version other than the 0.1.1 demo.

The Rat companion can be recruited multiple times. Just start up the dialogue with Belle at the shop and you get a new version each time.

EDIT: Even though you can get more than one, all of them will synchronize to the last growth type you selected.

A little amused that the slide can be used repeatedly for free growth stages. A shame that stage 6 wasn't accounted for (the highest I could get using the slide 3x first, then the others.)

Glitch. When Marika is unavailable, she will still show her "ready" image and dialogue instead of "I'm occupied with processing this" and the relevant image.

Powering up the boobs sounds excellent. Even if it's a mostly cosmetic thing (might need to widen some doors, though, like the offices).

 
Oh, one other thing I noticed, dunno what you want to do about it though:

Obtaining and using [Redacted 1] will arbitrarily set your max fill, resetting appropriate upgrades from [Redacted 2]. Max Fill ends up resetting to its base value when [Redacted 1] is turned off (does not undo the use of [Key Item]).

Mildly surprised (and annoyed) that you can't make use of the EXP until you've unlocked a very specific key item. But I have enjoyed the experience so far. I'm actually glad it manages to run pretty well on my potato laptop.

While not expected, I am hoping more updates come and add some more content for players. Like being able to have actual BE rather than full body as everything currently applies.

Still very much enjoyed what was there, even if it is a little short and simple. 

Suggestion: Change the "Health" upgrade on [redacted] to "minimum speed". Especially if that point is intended as a more sandbox experience.

Sadly, could use a little rebalancing on how levels work. Capacity out-scales production WAY too easily. Boost also feels less useful since it scales off production.

Sensitivity and cooldown only need a couple levels each, these are fine.

I'd make production scale harder than capacity, so you are rewarded for bigger pumps. I would also make boost do percentage fill of capacity per second (I'd suggest 4 or 5%), so it's never wasted on higher levels.

All that aside, good premise. Aside from the rebalancing, it was enjoyable enough.

Title. Simple enough. The crash happens when the meter fills.

Slime Queen: Just outside of your house, jump above the front door. Hit "Up" in front of the rectangle.

Regarding the special door: Larry saying "jump in front of it to open it" would have been a huge help in making sure players had an idea of what to do. Also, the items inside are one-use only, and do not respawn alongside the agents when creating the "tie" scenario.

So apparently, in the event of a tie, you can't talk to the guy and he just respawns all of the agents. The game will not finish normally.

EDIT: Two bugs regarding the Special Game. 

First, once Larry is selected, Larry will ALWAYS be grown instead of Natasha. I don't know if this is fixed by playing a normal round. It is not fixed with a standard game.

Second, he says a special door is unlocked. And I think I know which one it's supposed to be. But no new doors are opened/usable.

Better find some of those milk cows hinted at in the milky trap ending upon landing.

So.... I managed to pull this off... I had triggered a teleportation secret in Level 5 that lead back to the starting elevator, but the elevator wasn't there. I walked off and.... This.

It is definitely an annoyance. My guess is that we're gonna get synced every few months rather than constantly.

My Cait got so big that her image is gone. For the record, this one is BE growth, so I suspect the last image is just missing.

Crafting could use a lot of work, IMO. Not just in clarification, but in functionality. Materials will also be included in this.

So for starters, not all multipliers will stack. I could use several materials with "times 2" multipliers and only one will apply to the odds. Similarly, I've seen many materials with only a "times 1" multiplier. Those literally do nothing as a result. The materials that do "Flat 0.2 stat" also don't seem to do anything useful.

I'm also noticing a distinct lack of breast-related materials, a LOT of them are just "size/fat multiplier". A little more variety would be nice in that regard. Even if it's just modifying existing materials.

The crown increasing good rolls is nice, but it doesn't seem to have a proper stat reflection as well. Many of the stats are confusing as a result.

I'm also wondering if allowing a few losses would allow for stronger materials to drop. Although I suppose I should wait until the current issues are fixed first.

Look for alien handprints on the walls.

Found a bug.

While bust animation is off (because high limits and blocking the screen), triggering the slime girl scene returns "TypeError Cannot read property '_opacity' of null". Can't retry or anything, it forces a restart.

That would do it. I didn't think to try them again since I've been following this game since the 0.3 version at least.

I am curious if any cheats are hinted at/shown in-game or not. If they are, I seem to have overlooked them (meh). I just want to know if I simply need to look harder or if I have to go to out-of-game places to find them.

Deleted my previous critique now that I'm understanding things a bit better.

Still having an issue with scaling. I have to zoom out to even see the buttons, but then it's too hard to read the cards effectively. I have to imagine half of it is the images used, but I'm not sure. While I could probably modify the style document to better shift everything, that still doesn't solve things long term.

Maybe set certain areas to a proportion, so that things can be more easily viewed without scaling.

I'm glad the update is bringing more content. I've played through the game and $15 felt a little pricey for what I got out of it (felt more like an $8-$10 game). I'm hoping the extra content will make the $15 tag worth it, but I'll have to wait a few months to find out.

Personally, I'm hoping to see more Breast Expansion content, particularly since the demo didn't feature any. (Something you should probably explain on certain other sites the game is being advertised on. The demo is tagged fine here.)

I saw the stairs mentioned in another comment, so I won't reiterate on those. I do think more could be done to indicate the thresholds for the level bonuses in the main menu. I had little reason to use more than the pistol in most cases, with the other cases being defaulted to the Jupiter Cannon. The Minigun didn't really fire fast enough to seem worth using over the pistol. The Glue Gun felt like it was essentially a melee with extra range.

Two major annoyances I wanted to bring up. The mostly invisible enemies are... They feel kind of uncalled for. Once you know they're there, they are less of an issue. But it's still a gut punch that isn't fun to deal with. I think they and the scientists should be excluded from the spawn list in the boss level. I get why spawns need to happen there, but the invisibility and how scientists attack are both quite annoying on top of everything else that happens.

I got the milk nun to 200 but she won't pass out from overload.

Got a bank account, but Direct Deposit doesn't work. Additionally, perhaps something could be added to the status panel for "bank funds" since those are also "always accessible".

I managed to get the game to crash twice at one of the extreme sizes. The first time was in the gallery room, the other I forget. However, I haven't been able to replicate the exact conditions, unfortunately.

It may also simply be my laptop being sub-standard these days. But usually it's just lag spikes when it's trying to load something if anything is an issue.

Oh, I meant the one after 0.2.0, I suppose I should've been slightly clearer on that.

Liking the progress. I wish I didn't have to wait for the update, but that's how life works.

Any chance we could get more breast expansion? Particularly for those shadows with the sin of Lust?

I'll try that next time I'm there, then.

I can't find Nylah after "making an important decision".

The animations are pretty basic. I would have enjoyed the option to turn off the highly repetitive music. The "work" option... It really should just be one cycle given the overall format.

It feels like there's supposed to be a story where the choices make a difference, but I didn't feel like my choices made any difference and the pacing of work didn't help.

Honestly, the only difficulty I had was the relatively tight timing of making it "hit" her. Still quite doable, even with max Polypropelyne. Mildly frustrating nonetheless.

I think that another, interaction alternative to stopping her should be doable. Like hitting 4 or 5 levers that are scattered across the room. Would make it much easier for anyone who's going for a "zero fill" run to actually accomplish that. 

Yes, that's when I got stuck. And Windows.

Sadly, I got stuck in a soft lock.

During the attack on the Cleric Temple, when you get control of the female guard, she cannot move from her location.

So far I'm enjoying the premise. Definitely looking forward to a more complete product.

Right now, my only gripe is that "current inflation" is not the priority when using it for upgrades. Since Stored is "safe", it is rather annoying to return after 10 floors and not use up what's actually going to risk ending your run.

Other than that, nothing big I want to point out. 

Definitely interested in seeing how this game shapes up. 

My only big complaint is that the weapon types feel off balance. The Scythe really feels like the worst option because it gets countered by the spear  (which can't be countered itself) and its extra damage potential really doesn't compensate for how the ranged option always hits for at least 1 due to disabling evasion. Being able to critically strike is at least some help though. Yes, it's got a bigger die for defense, but for the purposes of "dealing damage", it's not cutting it.

I did have an idea of adding a "Heavy" class of weapon (preferably a greatsword) that embodies the opposite of the bow. D12, cannot be countered, has higher minimum damage (1+ATK stat), but grants the enemy a bonus to their evasion roll (+2) and disables your evade option against all weapons. Making it a considerable gamble compared to the other weapons.

Definitely want to see more Boons and Banes; especially if they can be unlocked after a few runs. Permanent boosts would also be nice.

Oh, just thought of this one: Saving the name between runs. Kind of breaks the pace for starting a new run.

So I only ever found the second digit of the phone code by brute forcing after finding the other 3. Sadly, I don't want to spoil too much about it after FINALLY finding it courtesy of the hint system. But here goes.

The entrance to the room REALLY shouldn't require you to step through traps to get to it (Yes, even after the "helper mechanic"). Not to mention it's actually pretty hard to see on that particular tile set. It's also in a spot where you're pretty much NEVER going to just look.

Also, in the starting room, the Polypropeline IV will lose its glitter after first activation regardless of whether or not you used it. Maybe see if you can make sure that sparkle only removes AFTER using the entire bag. You know, in case someone went halfway before and wants the rest of it later.

It also occurs to me that another handicap option could be added, "starter implants". Basically, they give you +300, +500, or even possibly +1000 to your minimum size (up from 0). Less room for mistakes between rest rooms, and puts you on a pretty strict timer  when combined with the Polypropeline IV, especially without the medipens. Although with that in mind, maybe that unlocks the code for the phone immediately?

I'm definitely excited to see more progress. Also at the prospect of "additional improvements" a certain trap promises, even though we can't reach the desired size yet.

P.S. - Already did a full run after draining the entire Polypropeline IV from the starter room.
