Okay, so new update is up on Ci-en, a new level, a couple new enemies with attached H-grabs, and some bad news. Looks like they're pushing back the release date a couple of months to compensate for delayed progress. bugfixing, certain mechanics, and implementing features that weren't originally planned for, like the 2-4 GO minigame have all taken longer than they'd expected. As expected, the april update will be the last of the paid plan updates, and will cover 3-2 stage, but not boss. The release date is now late July.
Now on to the stage itself. Visually its pretty similar to world 2, only now we have nice windows to the outside with fishes swimming past. explosive barrels can cause minor leaks the make (purely visual) water spray in. The level opens up with a conversation between Hasumi and the two sisters, I haven't grabbed my translator to read through it yet, so no comments there, but the sisters share a cute fistbump.
You encounter the first new enemy pretty much instantly after that, a pink haired girl wielding a laser whip, wearing the hypnovisor and the same black bondage suit that the last twitter teaser showed Hasumi getting shoved into. Bodes well for Hasumi's future in the 3-2 bossfight if you ask me. Anyway, this enemy has a couple of ranged melee attacks with her whip, including a leaping attack. She also seems to block Hasumi's attacks from the front when she isn't locked into an attack animation of her own, making her the most durable of the non-boss enemies so far. Her H-grab is initiated by her standing whip attack, and in addition to the usual progression on empty struggle bar, progresses twice on orgasm, so check that out.
The second new enemy is a bunch of slimes stuck to the floor and ceiling that shoot slime ball at you, inflicting the slimed status from 1-2. They don't do anything else, but if you have the slimed status then touching some of the otherwise harmless non-spitting slime blobs will get you grabbed and raped by an amorous slimegirl. pretty basic H-grab here.
No new status effects AFAIK, the only things I got in my two runs through were climax and slimed. MIZUKU has noted that there's an unimplemented status effect for this stage however, so hopefully next month we'll get that.
Personally I liked this update, though the lack of new status effects is a minus for me. It's nice to see a couple of lesbian enemies, especially since we know we have a couple more at least to look forward to in the bosses. The appearance of the bondage suit on the first enemy has made me really eager to see what happens to Hasumi on the 3-2 boss.
Edit: While doing a third run through I discovered that a second whip-girl can join the grab and double teams you with the first. Also one of the bonus room that gives you those glowy things is darkly lit so everyone only shows up as silhouettes, which makes the first stage of the whip-girls grab look really nice.
