A surprisingly fun speed game

Solid. Adult scenes weirded me out though, probably don't play for that. I really enjoyed that thing they did with the framing, together with the cool parkour and busting moves, it made the game have this classy sense of style. The story also was a lot more interesting than I expected it to be, even if quite hard to follow.

Good platforming! Good characters... sorta! Deliberately irritating dialogue! Really really bad erotic writing, peppered with alliteration! I enjoyed it.

Good spritework and music. The gameplay starts off pretty chill and the parkour is strong, but the latter half of the game requires lots of twitch-fast decision making. I find the increases in difficulty more annoying than charming, because many fast jumps and pixel-perfect timed attacks are required to progress. Failures don't send you back more than one screen, but if you're trying for the Achievements, it can get irritating. The limited color palette and cool colors lend themselves well to the gameplay segments. The story is really hard to follow and feels very dry since the characters' sarcasm doesn't translate well to text. Having additional character portraits to allow the characters to express themselves more during plot segments would make the game's plot segments more visually interesting, but making the story more cohesive should come first. For $2 it's not a bad game to sit down and chill with for a couple hours. I'll look forward to more from this developer.

I'm definitely on Team Version 1.4, but I happen to rather like that game, especially for $2.

On sale it was less than a buck for a decent yuri platformer. Only two hours long but enjoyable enough.
