    TL;DR: A fun game with great sprite artwork, satisfying combat, and overall polished gameplay that is severely lacking in adult aspects

    + I like the art quite a bit, the sprite art is top tier but the CGs are subpar IMO
    + Combat is quite satisfying
    + MC looks pretty good

    - There really aren't a whole lot of enemies, and most of them are just kind of there to be combo'd.
    - CG scenes are very scarce
    - Animations are also not plentiful, the gallery only has a handful and they're kind of bland for the most part, nothing interesting there
    - Game is extremely repetitive after a while even if the combat is good

    I'd skip it, the combat is good but the enemies are uninspired.

    A decent beat'em up game with fine both pixel-art and high-res sex scenes. Out of 6 high-res scenes you see 4 during campaign, these are animated. 2 are bonus 'failure' scenes you can see through bedroom recollection. There is stuff to fap on, there's a lot of stuff to do besides that. That is, missions, side quests, minigames.
    All in all, well worth downloading and playing.

    This is a full-fledged game.
    It is story-driven and the story is good.
    Combat animations allow for long combos with some juggling. There's enough moves to keep going no matter the situation.
    Combat itself feels fluid, as long as it doesn't require a lot of active repositioning through movement (moving attacks are fine).
    Parry and evade mechanics have decent windows to do the move.
    Bosses are fun to fight with.

    The movement itself isn't fluid, though. There doesn't seem to be movement animation cancelling between landings, jumps and other movement mechanics like 'grappling hook' equivalent, resulting in a somewhat clunky movement. It is tolerable, but could be way better.
    Backgrounds are quite bland.
    Level design is... there. That's the most I can say about it. It still does its job, but could be way better with less backtracking and more interesting rooms and challenges.
    Enemy variety is rather poor, not all of those have sex attacks.
    The game overall is not of stellar quality. There are places where stuff doesn't work as it should (like on one of the levels map is displayed with the same button as healing). You can sometimes fall outside of level (although this is band-aided with automatic unstuck). Etc. Nothing experience-killing, but be prepared.

    tl;dr I had fun with this little game and recommend it despite its drawbacks.

    As a casual player this game completely satisfied me.
    I enjoyed the game because, even though it didn't have many animations and was relatively short, I was captivated by Kuro's design and her sprites. The game's lobby is simple yet fantastic, and being able to give Kuro massages and have sex with her both in and out of combat was satisfying.

    I completed this game purely out of spite. Kidding, I had fun, but I am a masochist and wouldn't reccomend it to any other kind of person.

    The porn is good but you can unlock all of it halfway through the game, so if the combat doesn't stick with you, I reccomend you stop there, because the story is nothing special and while some CGs (literally two) are locked at the later levels they really aren't worth it.

    The main sins of this game are the platforming, which is really clunky and feels like filler, and the fact that bosses often attack you offscreen, which coupled with the fact that they can combo you for big damage leads to some frustation, at times rage.

    Sprite work is excellent, performance so so (crashed on me several times, but the autosaving works so it was no big deal).

    I reccomend playing the first two-three worlds and trying to engage in the combat system, if it clicks keep going.

    Side note, I never got any game over erotic scene, altough it feels there should be ones.

    The animations are pretty cool and hot, but the actual amount of h-scenes was disappointingly low. h-scene CGs were lazy and uninspired. Gameplay was janky and controls were fucked. Level design was pretty boring as well.

    With some polish, this could probably be a decent game, but it looks more like they hired someone to do some art on commission, ran out of money, and had to build the rest of the game with a box of scraps.

    Biased review, since i love Piero the artist. To see the animated version of his work was a amazing experience. Excellent VAs!

    Gameplay wise, its pretty interesting. Theres a decent challenge.
    The move animations are really hot as well. Glad this came out, might even support the dev

    By far one of the most fun games I've played so far on this site.

    Let's go in parts, the good parts are:

    The combat is fluid, with a wide variety of combos that are both interesting and fun. Not to mention that the animation is also impeccable. 10/10 for the combat.

    The music is fun, with a certain loop that isn't annoying to listen to. 10/10 for the music.

    The story seems okay, it's something I can't remember the last time I saw, a person becoming a woman's armor, so at least for me it's something a bit “original” and different, I didn't go that far to find out more about the game's story for reasons I'll talk about later. 8/10 for the story.

    The artwork is nice, it doesn't have that special or unique touch, but it's pretty enough for me. 7/10.

    Now for the bad parts and the ones that really bothered me.

    This game feels like it's been ripped straight out of a PlayStation console and thrown into a computer game with barely any effort to change the keyboard commands. The menu may look “right”, so to speak, but in games and the like, it becomes very difficult to even find out what the character can and can't do. I only found out everything I could do, especially those 4 special moves that appear on the screen, only at the end of chapter 3.

    For a H-Game, the sex scenes seems... well, it lacks content honestly, and it's kinda hard to be grabbed by the enemy.

    The initial art, before the game starts, is ugly and lazy, I almost left the game thinking that the art would be lazy like that, but fortunately I was surprised by more than wonderful combat.

    The platforming in general also seems a bit... lazy, nothing much changes, at least a few more jumps here and there, but apart from that, it's just more of the same.

    And well, something you can all agree on, machine translation is asking for your game to be called lazy.

    In short, the game is a 3.5, but since I can't give it half a grade, just 3. It's worth playing, but expect bugs and a few inconveniences.

    One the better games of this genre.
    Gameplay = 4.5/5 (i play with Controller) maybe with Mouse & Tastatur too clunky
    Story = 3/5
    H-aspect = 3,5/5
    Music = 4/5

    And for all the other Pixellovers in easy Mode, there is a full gallery mode and uncut

    Hooked by the H-aspect,stayed for the gameplay.
    Sometimes a bit janky but not so game breaking.
    The pixel scene is good too so i dont really mind having less cg.

    Gameplay = 4.5/5
    Art = Piero/5
    Story = 4/5
    H-aspect = 4/5 (could have added more but okay i guess )

    For an action game, it's not bad. In terms of actual CG, there's only 6 (kind of wished there were more). The other complaint I would say is the keyboard controls are kind of janky, just the way they positioned the buttons for each moves is not comfortable.

    TLDR: Janky controls, not much CG, game has potential (If they add more stuff to it)

    Awful controls. Close to unplayable without a controller.
    Grindy combat. Boring too, but that's probably a matter of taste.
    Barely any H. It's animated, but still bad.
    Lots of dumb anime story telling. At least it's skippable.

    I don't get why this is currently sitting at 4½/5. I can't imagine most people getting much out of this. Yes I know there's plenty of worse games, but that's just the sad state of the industry.

    Great animation of movements.
    Great pixel art.
    Scenes as manga pages.
    Nice music and songs.
    Just good game.
    And all this with small price of awful controls and meh story.
    That is surely one of must-play games in f95 collection.

    QUICK SUMMARY!!!
    • Playability: 89/100​
    • Graphics: 95/100​
    • Animation: 100/100 (First time a game has received this rating from me)​

    • Story: 80/100 (Well done, very cliché)​
    • Censorship: Yes (unnecessarily much) -70pts​

    FINAL SCORE: 89/100
    (The unnecessary amount of censorship takes away a lot of the seriousness of the scenes and makes them not as worth unlocking, which takes away a lot of what an H-game is)​

    TLDR: Gameplay > Porn aspect. Overall quite fun, but has limited scenes and variations. May need some time to get use to the controls.


    Gameplay: 4.5/5 - One of the better action-y porn games out there. I enjoyed the combat quite a bit. You can choose your own skills to dish out some wombo combos at the enemies. Platformer part is a bit annoying at times cause the detection can be whacky, but overall bearable.

    Story: 2/5 - It's just there. Not a whole lot more to say.

    Scene Quantity & Variation: 3/5 - Unfortunately on the lower end when you compare to other bigger titles like Ricca or NoR. It's OK but don't expect a huge number of scenes and variations. I feel they could have expanded a lot more but perhaps ran out of time/budget.

    Scene Quality: 3.5/5 - It's fine. Combat rape is pretty fluid. The CG scenes are not bad but nothing crazy. Scenes are voiced so thats a big plus.


    Overall a pretty good porn game to try when you actually want to play a game and not just scene hunt. Controls may need some time to get use to but combat becomes fun after that.

    "Just play it"

    A great sidescroller game with pixel art style, and great CGs, and oh boi them PIEROCK artstyle is juicy.

    The story/plot itself is not that good, but what makes a good game? Gameplay. And its pretty good, the combat feels in par with those oldschool beat em ups. And the corn stuff is really good.

    The worst part, it ends.
