Map:
REALLY grateful for the map/mini-map. I used to get so lost that it literally took hours to find out where I was going in the previous versions; I even took to writing down a map to remind myself where I've been and where I was. An in-game reminder really helps. However, I'm still wishing the map wasn't so expansive. Even when I wasn't lost, it took a fair amount of time to get from one place to another in order to progress. There are huge areas which just don't add anything (I'm not talking about unfinished areas), and others which lead to maze-like roundabouts (don't ask me, I don't remember where). Don't get me wrong, I love content, but perhaps secrets, powerups, or some sort of reward would justify how big this map is, I suppose.
Checkpoints:
REALLY thankful for the checkpoints. Yes, it took hours without a map, but even longer after I had to restart every time I died (and THEN try to find my way around after re-completing my progress). The game isn't impossible, but it's not the easiest either, since enemies respawn and since it's such a huge game. At the very least, if I die, I can just start from where I left off.
Anims:
Absolutely liked the new anims. I'm not crazy about boob inflation and I hoping you could do some sort of milking anim in the future to compensate, but it's so thoughtful to implement it into all the existing anims, and I could definitely see your thought process when you put each enemy into a sectioned room (fly/gunman/purple tentacles) with the vine tentacles to demonstrate each new anim separately. It must have taken a hell of a time to do in terms of spriting and animating, and it's something small that gamers can appreciate.
Enemies:
I'm loving the enemies you've already placed in the game, and I'm sure you've already got my suggestion in your head, but I'd like to see enemy diversity in your stages. The slimes, gunmen, and tentacles are fairly ubiquitous throughout, and the flies appear relatively regularly later on. But I'm not seeing much of the newer ones--the boob suckers, the cum-shooting stickies, and the boob-inflating tentacles (and I miss the blue guys...I loved their anims and it's nice to see a humanoid in there, other than the crazed gunman, who doesn't have penetration anims; sometimes I try to complete the entire demo just to see their anims again). It's obviously since those enemies are newer, and of course, I get the reasoning behind the vine tentacles, but just something to think about. Waiting for a new boss too...and perhaps some anims for the first boss? Pretty please?
(The loss of sound from the gunman anim is fairly noticeable too, but I'm sure you're fixing it).
Some final miscellaneous thoughts too:
1.) Ever thought about putting up a leveling system for Alicia? Enemies that provide EXP could offer a reason to kill them (farming) rather than just running through them, since most can just be avoided. Maybe you could upgrade or do something with Alicia's kick? I never use that thing and am wondering what you intend to do with it.
2.) I'm a CG guy. Just my own wishlist, but I'd be blown away if you'd throw in a gallery and a Game Over screen for each enemy. I remember you discussing this before and forgot what your response was ('too much work' would've been a good response). All the same, while it may be contradictory, I dislike games that rely on GoR, and I appreciate that I don't need to force Alicia to commit suicide every time I want to see the goodies (e.g. she doesn't lose health when getting raped). So yeah, you do you, I guess I'm a little conflicted here.
3.) Story. Not many platformers have one, and you can tell from my leveling suggestion that I'm more of an RPGer, but I think you can weave an intriguing yarn from this game. I'm more excited about the prospect of this than anything else.
