TL;DR:
Miho Adventures is a pixelated platformer game where you adventure through four stages, turning the bosses you at the end of each stage into your own personal harem. Along the way, you'll dominate some of the enemies in a manner very alike your scantily-clad cat girl, earning coins which can be used to unlock additional lewd images or some alternative outfits for Miho to wear as well.
+ Miho is cute, the additional outfits for her are also real good
+ In-level lewd scenes are pretty tops (though I still want a gallery mode for them!)
+ Levels are short and satisfying, making you feel like you're making progress towards the end
+ Platforming is pretty responsive aside from the double jump delay
- Combat can feel a little confusing and unfair at times
- You can take damage even if you're in a lewd scene
- You'll have to grind a lot to unlock all additional lewd images and outfits
--------------------------------------------------
If it's lewds ye want, it's lewds ye shall get. The farther you get into the levels, the more you'll encounter enemies that will submit to you as opposed to simply being defeated. This way you'll be treated to a short pixelated lewd scene until you choose to finish it. You'll also find that the best way of getting health back is by giving some more hands-on attention to your own physical needs. As you gain coins, you'll be able to unlock up to 12 still images in the gallery, typically reminiscent of either Miho's outfits, her misadventures with some of the enemies she comes across, or the bosses you encounter during the game. I think the images alone are decently fine, but I would have thoroughly enjoyed a gallery to freely play the animations you encounter during the actual gameplay. Keep in mind that you can take damage while in an in-level lewd scene.
That being said, the glaring issue I'd say this game has is that even if you complete every level in the game, you won't have nearly enough to unlock all of the additional content. You will end up having to replay an additional 30 or so levels depending on what level you're replaying to get within the range of being able to unlock all of the content. It's not too much of an issue since the levels are short, but it is kind of annoying that this type of game would require grinding levels solely for still images that I feel like should have been awarded upon beating certain bosses or stages.
As a platformer, I think the game handles fairly decently. It does have that "floaty" feeling that's a little hard to get beyond, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes fairly intuitive. By far the most glaring issue I came across during just the platforming controls was the double jump, which seems to have a delay between when you can actually jump again. There's plenty of environmental hazards to avoid and some ice physics late into the game, but nothing that's super difficult to get used to. The levels are short enough that it isn't a huge pain if you die and need to start over again, but do keep in mind that the game's levels are very linear, so often times even if it looks like there's a path below you, it's probably just death.
The combat in this game is a little hit-or-miss. First of all, the enemies in this game have far too much HP. Considering the enemies get staggered as you attack them anyway, it seems ridiculous to constantly need to mash the same button 5 - 16 times to defeat common enemies. There are no health bars for standard enemies either, so often times you're just left standing in one spot mashing the attack button until they're defeated. Some enemies shoot projectiles that can be deflected but sometimes you'll end up taking damage from them even if you're attacking them as fast as you can, which can make certain enemies feel completely random as to whether or not you'll be able to damage them. That being said, I found that most of the time it worked as intended, with only sometimes ending with me taking what I felt was unfair damage.
You attack using your kitty claws, very appropriate for such a sultry cat girl. I do, however, wish that there was a bit more to combat. Some special ability you could use after a cooldown or something just to break up the kind of formulaic combat in this game of just running up to an enemy and either repeatedly attacking them so they can't attack you or attacking them while their back is turned to avoid any damage whatsoever. Other attacks certainly would have opened up the game to more possibilities and would have made dealing with certain enemies more strategic than the one way you have of actually dealing damage. There is also no death animation, meaning when you do end up dying, it kind of just puts you back in the main menu, which can feel a little unpolished.
Bosses make a bit more sense to have such high health standards, but even then I'd say that they have too much health. Typically how a boss fight works in a video game is that they have a certain mechanic or pattern that they want you to get used to and once you figure it out, it becomes a matter of repeating it a few times to prove that you've learned the boss's mechanic. In this game, it's that mixed with a sort of endurance mechanic where even if you've learned the mechanic, you may have to repeat it nearly a dozen times before you've actually beaten the boss, making the fights a little more annoying than they should be. The bosses also don't necessarily scale in difficulty, as I found the final boss to be far easier than the rest.
Realistically I'd say wait for a sale if you're planning on grabbing Miho Adventures, but in general I think it's a real solid attempt at making a platformer game and I applaud the developer(s) for getting as far as they have with it. Do I think it's flawless? Not at all, but I think that it's clear that a lot of thought went into the actual gameplay and content present that it's a solid grab for all you pixelated catgirl-loving perverts.
