I breezed through the first 3, the last one is a bit more challenging, but after some tries, I was able to complete it in full. I tried hard mode, but it was a bit too unforgiving. Other than that, I liked this, nice little story too.
EDIT: Okay, so I might be stupid, because I just found out about the powerups AFTER the fact. So I was just rawdogging it this whole time
One of the best VNs I've read yet! I really like all of the main characters (yes, even Ken) and they have so much depth to them. I like the writing balance of disturbing themes and comedic moments, helps keep the stories engaging and grounded. Of course, from the sexy times to the darker imagery, Nikko's art is fantastic all the way through. Overall, this is a great VN, y'all did a great job and I can't wait for future updates!
Side note (MILD SPOILERS):
Really loved how accurate y'all portrayed 80's Los Angeles. As a native Angeleno who grew up in that exact type of environment, I really appreciate the fact that y'all did your homework.
So I was able to get to the brain sync with Abra. Passed the first two puzzles on time, but I took too long with the 3rd one, Abra passed out, and the whole game froze. Was that intentional or just perfect comedic timing?
I did so and now I can finally play it. Content-wise, it is awesome! The animations are very nice and the design is great. The controls are alright, nothing to complain about that.
A report of interesting stuff and bugs I found: -The game crashes when I try to go back to the first level and after I got "game over". Game loads other levels and works fine if I avoid the first level and not lose -I encountered a glitch where after activating the gems to unlock the door to Brask, when I touched the floaty arrows near the start of the level, it sent Joe into a void where he is forever falling and the whole level disappeared except for the still background -I was able to break the floor boundaries in the forest by standing under the lift when it was coming back down. Trapped poor Joe underneath the level and had to go back to the title screen -Broke some wall boundaries in the final level by having Joe punch and move through a space where he's supposed to slide through -Got a small glitch when having fun with Ket. During the animation, it switched to the lizard enemy's forced blowjob on Joe animation. The animation went all the way through, Joe didn't lose any HP, and it only happened once after many tries to recreate it.
Other than that, this is a very good game, even in it's early stages. I'm hyped to see it improve more and more in the updates. Y'all gained a new supporter
The game crashes at the Joe loading screen after I click "Start Game". Max loading time was around 5 mins. Wasn't able to play the game, even after 7 tries. This is with the v0.10.002 version.
