Re: Journey protect dream of [Shota ridge ACT] hunter ([おねショタACT] 狩人の夢守る旅)
Alright... I was a really big fan of excess m's previous work one-syota so I'll do a full review of this game soon.
What I can tell you as a first impression b4 I play the game is that One-Syota is 978MB while Kariyume is 552MB.
Now you might think this is a bad thing... oh noes less content, however; since I made that fangame, I can tell you, One-Syota was badly optimized programming wise. The same image existed in multiple places needlessly making the game bigger than it should've been by a factor of 100x. Instead of 978 it should've been 97.8.
Kariyume might be better optimized I can't tell until I dig deeper but first I'm going to play.
BTW: If you're wondering it's out on nyaa

But the game really IS shorter than the previous one. But that is also due to the way to the (nonexistant) difficulty - I recommend playing it on hard.
edit: I'm going to try out your fan game now. Unfortunately, the Fuuma Girl file in your signature seems to have been taken down.
Are you talking about the unpacked archive? Since the file I downloaded from dlsite was only 323 mb ...

Re: Journey protect dream of [Shota ridge ACT] hunter ([おねショタACT] 狩人の夢守る旅)
So I've played through the game and I must say I enjoyed it.
First things first, the game has a lot of focus on gameplay. The ball kicking mechanic, just like in the demo, works exactly the way I wanted it to. It doesn't kick across the map but only to the boundaries of the screen. It's easy to use as well as a hassle to manage when there are other things going on the screen.
This game is definitely MUCH easier than one-syota for the sole reason being the main character can do a lot. Not only can he counter, but the balls attack potential is insane. Imagine playing through all of One-Syota with the water-laser-gun thing.
About it's length. This game's shorter because he doesn't pad out the plot with long sections of gameplay populated by the same enemies. You won't get bored of the enemy variety until you reach the end of the game and cry aww that's it? Also, the enemy variety isn't the only variety. Both sections have a gameplay element specific to them to spice up the fun. There's definitely a lot more content here gameplay-wise was than before. That being said, it was a gamble(add more gameplay elements and make the game shorter or keep the same gameplay elements but make it longer... )
About this new character, he's a lot different from the passive syota. He's definitely more outgoing and his demon is much more interesting IMO.
Technical evaluation.
I've gone to excess m's blogs. In all of them the filesize was the biggest complaint. It seems like 900 MB was a little too much for them which kind of makes sense. [offtopic]While japan might seem "ahead" technologically they keep to weird standards. A lot of the japanese still use XP w/o upgraded hardware since PC gaming's not really big over there and they still use fax machines.[/offtopic]
Anyways, back on topic. The animations were amazing here. He put a lot of effort on making the girls hot, and the animations are definitely a step up. Like every animation had at least 1 more frame than the previous game. Also, the voice acting was magnificent. In One-Syota, the first girl had the best voice acting while a lot of the others were subpar. Here the sounds are pleasing. Also, he definitely improved upon the effects. It's definitely a sight to behold when you kick a raging red ball at a row of enemies.
All in all a great sequel. I wish it was longer.
BTW: If anyone's wondering this game is also horribly optimized. It should not be 552MB at all. Syota is still in his files, as well as tons of the old enemies.

The first game had more filler, yes, but said filler sections made you fight various enemies together. Here, the dev relies on you to use the stage edit instead.
That's my main beef with it when i said it's shorter. Also, the first game had better selection of girls overall and more bosses to boot.
I believe this is shorter because it's an expansion of sorts and the next game might be the real sequel.
I hope anyway!

You're definitely right about that. There are a lot less girls in this game than one-syota. Is excess-m working on another game atm?

@AleGMaster here it is and for anyone else who missed it.

Fun game, interesting "fighting" mechanics. If only it was translated into English, heh. x.X; I'd love to toy with the editor, but alas, the language barrier is a cruel mistress, hehe. Would also be nice if there was some kind of "gallery" feature after you beat the game. (I have a bit of an odd sprite porn fetish, heh...)

the ending from this one
where the two demons are talking to each other while staring at the succubus castle

having a little trouble beating the final boss.
playing on hard, obviously, but she never seems to attack unless she's stunned you, so you can't counter, and she stuns constantly.
also, if she grabs you, you lose a life in about a second.
(premature ejaculation jokes, ahoy!)

Final boss?
Just spam attacks. She's vulnerable during or after most of her attacks so you'll hit her quite alot that way. Obviously you'll have to avoid her attacks in the process.
I find the best way to go about most the game just to kick straight, jump, air kick, and repeat. This gets you attacking at a fast rate while avoiding most attacks when you're airborne.
And yes, I'm referring to hard mode.

They only go naked if you counter them. Or underwear at least, only some girls go naked.
Re: Journey protect dream of [Shota ridge ACT] hunter ([おねショタACT] 狩人の夢守る旅)
so only way i see it is to change their character skins =[
Yeah i noticed that, only thing is they die straight away! so theres no way to just counter and remove clothes without them dying.
