Another case of "better artist than programmer"?

I fucking hate this bird.

Edit: I let it inject the fluid in her. Then it never bothered me again.

Haha, the dev has acknowledge on ci-en that the game is too hard and they are going to release a version to tone it down, might take a small while because there is a lot to tone down but there is at least possible redemption for this game.

Finally got to the cave, and it's a fucking labyrinth. I have no idea how the puzzles are supposed to work because there's no clear pint A to point B. I Just gave up at the Cave boss because I have nowhere near the health needed to properly progress.

I haven't played the full game yet, but if what everyone in the thread is saying is true, that's a hard nope for me regarding continuing to play. It genuinely frustrates me when hentai devs do this stuff. Like, I get, you want to make a game that's, you know, a game. Challenging, dynamic level designs, etc. But when you make a game so fucking impossibly difficult that you can't get to the porn in your porn game, I'm sorry, but some priorities need to be shifted. Just my opinion. I'll be waiting for a full save, thanks.

 

[dazedanon19]

Yup agree with all of the above. If it was at least fun I wouldn't have a problem but nope, just pure frustration with pretty damn boring gameplay. At least the animations are nice.

Having gotten to last boss, I think the gameplay is quite enjoyable and creative as a platformer especially among H-games, it just needs a difficulty setting with WAY more checkpoints, each hard section is imo only frustrating and terrible because when you fail on the 7th hard thing after 6 other hard things in a row you have to start from hard thing nr 1 again.

Some tips that might be useful:
Jump is more like a constant upward force that last a few seconds, you can hit a ceiling and continue up after clearing it
Jump is sensitive, you can do small jumps by pressing it very very briefly.
For birds, as long as you are holding jump button it will bounce off birds, but if you've held it long the bounce will be weak as you got essentially no jump left so hold and re-press shift regularly and bird jumps become quite reliable, no need to time jump for when you are on it.
For water sections, you can move much faster by using forward kick attacks, jumping under water also accelerates you, less than a kick I think though.
In cave, slimes become stationary trampolines if you give them love and is how you get around and do most of the HP upgs there.

With that said, one of the early HP upgs are bugged for me and seems you either need all or very many to actually beat last boss, once I had her a bit under half HP she did some mapwide AoE pull that put me in cutscene and instaloss, without getting translator out, I assume since I am missing many of the HP upgs, so probably just better to wait for a patch before you try beat the game, hopefully with bug fixes and about 5x more checkpoints.

Hold up, where's the save Mister last boss.

 

[Mistix]

First level is easy, second level has a bird jumping section which is a little bit tricky, then you get to swamp and thats where the bullshit starts.

Some sections of the game looked so terrible to play that I used cheat engine to increase my max health so I could skip them.

Im stuck on the last level with the rising and falling maggot pool, there is literally no margin for error instant death, don't know how to get past the part with the bird I am just not fast enough.

Edit: well got past it once only to be met by a confusing fake wall thing, this is the kind of shit I'd expect to see in I wanna be the guy and its clones.

Huh, ok. I just got my hands on the full version. I'll check it out then.

Edit* Ok, I'm starting to see what people mean about the birds... holy shit... Also wtf is with the shift key for jumping and you can't even map your own keys? The dev was drunk? XD

How do I activate the statue in the first level? In the dlsite preview video it shows you going up to it and being able to select the little hedgehog girls, but I can't do that. Is it an unlockable I get later?

 

[melopopoman]

Every have save file?

 

[eatthemuffin]

The biggest problem in the underwater areas, at least for the part where I'm stuck, is there needs to be a way to fall faster. When you get to that section where you're trying to outrun the wall of instant-death eels, the biggest thing killing me is how goddamn long it takes to fall down to the lower passages. The worst part (so far) is when you get to the zigzag part, where you have to start at the top, fall v e r y s l o w l y, and then actually move back toward the death wall with enough time to sluggishly fall again so that you can finally proceed. Out of dozens of attempts I've made it through that part exactly once, which I guess means it's less impossible than my previous post indicated, but you still have to do that first segment so goddamn perfectly in order to get through. And then I still died anyway a few screens later in an area with the small eels, because I'd get hit by one, shake it off, and instantly have a new one spawn and hit me again before I can move anywhere. And I'm sure there's still plenty more to get through in that segment, too.

You guessed it. It's an ability you'll unlock later, in the second stage.

pro:
+nice looking pixel animation

cons:
-terrible platforming experience
-pixel by pixel accuracy needed to perform parkour with that stupid bird
-completely out hit box, sometime it hit, sometime it don't, when enemy overlap each other you can only hit 1 of them so then 1 will proceed to grab you
-no fast travel, only home base to certain checkpoint but not vice versa
-it's quite easy to getting stunlocked enemy, but it's also possible to stunlock enemy too
-gallery not available?? (it says will be implemented later if i'm not wrong)

jesus this game is just completely no no

 

[SelectedJayson]

for those who don't like suffering, here's my save file

if you think the stages you're in is bad, the last stage is a whole different breed, almost expecting the player to be some god at pixel perfect inputs and some sort of veteran platformer there's literally a gacha segment where you need to pick the right "door" or die
cheat engine won't work as the last stage is instant kill/ touch/ floor is lava gallore with checkpoints so far apart,

hopefully I attached the right file, the save is right before final boss

I'm no hollowknight speedrunner but fuck shit damn.
please don't try to finish the last two stages yourself, if you love yourself and your boner

 

[trapicous]

There also literally doesn't seem to be a gallery....

About that. Having learned a very small amount of Japanese, I think the third option on the main menu is supposed to be the gallery. But I can't read the text in parentheses, and the option doesn't seem to be working right now. My guess is that either the gallery will be properly added in a future update, or it's a "complete the game to unlock" thing.

But I did beat the game, I was doing it all day. Oh accursed world! The last area is so frame perfect.... Also I put the text next to the third option and it says "To be added later"in the rough translation I did.....

 

[eatthemuffin]

Sounds like guess #1 is the answer then.

No that move is just instant kill regardless of how much health you have, just spam flying kick (hold left or right + z) to stay away from it.
