Finally, a new dating sim!

Thank you, Itpika, for letting us know about this one. You've made this lagoon predator very happy I was getting bored of clones of the old «make a "NEXT" button and call it a game» routine...

[traude]

Yup,

big thanks from me, too!

[cowboyblob]

Way to kill my weekend! Thanks!

[TimBuk2]

Thank you Itpika!

A very good game, even if you're not into manga.

It would be excellent if sex scenes were a little more varied for each girl.

But even as it is, it is a very good dating sim.

Voice acting is excellent.

does level 5 exists? I managed to reach level 4 with all the girls, but there's no way to go further to me...

Not a bad game. It seems to have a few bugs, unless it's just me.

In the card game, I often get two blank cards (no numbers). I first thought these were Jokers, but I always lose when I have them and clicking them to discard just gives more blanks cards. Hmmph.

After one space-battle far into the game, I don't remember the day, I got a continually flashing screen showing one of the characters and some text (which I don't remember). I right-clicked Play and got a Beta-test setup screen. Just continuing out of that screen without filling anything in set all of the girls to 100000, all of my stats to 100 and gave me a bunch of money that I could use to buy energy pills.

During a "date" when I answer the first question, it always tells me the answer was wrong... and I carefully wrote down the ask-answers for each girl so I know my answer was right -- unless I used the wrong upper/lower case -- which just doesn't seem right.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get all of the ask-answers you need for a date from one playing, and the date's "Choose her interest" thing is confusing. I don't think that's a bug, it's just the way the game works. I finally figured out that if you save after getting all the girls to the ask level, you can keep reloading it and asking until you get all of the info. I'm still missing a few and it's frustrating when the same answer keeps coming up repeatedly. Interestingly, sometimes when you visit a girl's room and she isn't there, you still get the option panel so you can ask. Sometimes you don't. I don't know if that's a bug or not.

I agree about the sex scenes.. They all are the same with just different hair and face. At least the voice over is different. If all a person wants to see is the sex scene, you can get Parfit any time.

D-willy, re: blank cards, I run into that problem, too; it's solved by resizing the game window (forcing it to redraw the content). Of course, that only works if you CAN resize it. Playing the SWF file directly in a browser tag (you do not even need to download it!) certainly helps

re, dates, I run into the opossite bug - fill nothing, game gives you the "well done" screen. Probably not a bug but a feature with the spacesuit's measurements; finally, the wisdom speaks for all males taking a girl to shop for clothes - let the girl chose herself! (sorry, couldn't resist - been on the wrong side of a few bad such "clothing sugestions" myself)

re, ask-answers, yes, asking a LOT. You have 100 days anyway, and asking takes 10 minutes...

re, girl not in room, clearly a bug. I hope the developers correct it.

My own bug, and this one is very amusing (NOT), is that the game treats the flight sim as the real deal - i.e., you get items afterwards, and if you are "intimate" with any of the girls, you go to the sex scena AND lose all your HPs afterwards, as if it was a real fight.

All in all, a low number of bugs for a beta

I hope the authors eventually corrects them.

ltpika, are you, maybe, one of them? Or did you just found it and decided to share? Kudos for you in both cases!

[ltpika]

Just a fellow fan...

@erana: I tried the resize and did manage to see the blank cards. Thanks.

Re, dating: I just got the "well done" screen when I re-loaded and tried it today. I've closed out and reloaded a couple of times and I seem to get different results doing the same things. Maybe a problem with one of the random variables. Oh well. I'm not going to take the time to look into the scrïpts.

Re, 100 days: If you get into the Beta setup screen, like I did by accident from the flashing battle result screen, you go past day 100.

Re, flight-sim: I noticed that (bug?) too. It tells you it will cost 50 HP and then it takes it away all. Not very nice when you have something like 900 going in. Maybe that other ship gets too close and you crash? I don't know how to get the girl satisfied any faster than what the buttons allow.

Re, Asks: I'm still missing Dita's (red hair) weight and bust size and I've asked her as many times as the others. She's more than happy to tell me everything else repeatedly. It would be nice if the game kept track and didn't keep repeating them so often.

I think I've played this game enough. Time to get back to my so called "real life."

re, bad clothing choices: Did those maybe involve lace or see-through material?

[Fraekke]

There is a post on the funny-games forum with all the basic info for each of the girls

It also gives a few suggestions of what to talk about for each of the girls, although the list is by no means complete. Add to this that some subjects requires you to have a certain level in one of your stats (e.g. fashion/style for talking to Jura).

Oh btw, another tip: get a pen and some paper for keeping track of what items you've given which girl. You can fish out a complete itemlist from the saved games file - or you can PM me for it if you like

D-willy, re, scrïpts... well, I just did (routine for me, I always do) and some of the comments of the girls are quite amusing.

Game has only one ending scene, but the flow of such scene is diferent acording to how many relationships (all the range of them, fom "just talk to him" to "date") you have with your teammates. As such, it's almost imposible to actually get the bad end - you need to actively works towards it by being a complete jerk -which is what your mecha calls you afterwards. All other endings are simply a variation of what your mecha says at the end, each a bit more uplifting as you get "better" endings.

There are things that show it is a beta, like the fact you never have the meeting that you are told about at game start. Hope they add it later.


Re, flight sim, nope, the lost of HPs is because the mile high fight club (actual name for those who make love in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft - don't blame me for the silly name!) scene is a "date" and, so, takes all your HPs. How fast you manage to rise the pleasure" meter has no efect on that.

re, clothing choices, not telling


Fraekke, re, talking, don't forget the "you+me" button, which is a huge hit or a huge bonus for the date meter acording to how much the girl likes you. Unsurprisingly.

[erana]

Oh, and about the sex scenes... well, yes, they have the same animation (with changes of not just faces but also chest), but the full, high quality voice acting for all four girls more than makes up for that. No generic "ah, oh, ah" moans here!!
