Congratulations!

Firstly - I liked the concept of the game. A parody of the hentai genre. However, what seemed t be the problem with me was the execution of that concept.

I actually find this quite important to know ^^. Because if a game is supposed to be parodic and stuff, and you play it seriously... it'll look *really* bad ^^;;....
The simple fact is, I did not know until the credits which were somehow so different to the rest of the language that this was actually supposed to be a parody. It felt from the beginning just like all those mindless hentai.

The only problem I have with this game in respect to that are its love endings - they probably should be more in the mindless spirit of the rest of the game, not have that touch of romance that they have. It reminds me of Slave Pageant, where the protagonist was an ass, but that didn't tick me off - what did was that at the end he started to be all romantic-ish and it made a hentai-driven mindles game into a hentai-driven mindless game without focus.

There are a lot of bad hentai games, and I'm just afraid that this isn't SO lightly written, that it lacks the self-irony and somehow feels more like a (admittedly very good) replica of such bad hentai games, rather than a parody, if you don't have the info beforehand.

Again, if you'd just point this out very early in the game (perhaps with a subtitle "hentai parody" or something similar), people could adjust their mindset and enjoy it more - from the other replies I see that for some people this has worked without telling, but not really for me. It doesn't mean it's a bad game, just to stress that again. It's only the way it is presented.

So, may we mirror this game on the Ren'Ai Archives? I would probably add a line to the description saying it's a parody if that's okay - and that should do it. :wink:

PS: I liked the art, and the menu names, it's nice to see it worded differently :P .

A subtle way could have been within the title. Just give it one of those "Neko neko Love Sugoi!" titles and it's done. Instant parody feeling.

Thankyou for the detailed critique, mikey~! I will remember all those things for any future parodies I may or may not do. And, I would be honoured if you added it to the archives...and please put a warning that it is indeed a parody...I wouldn't want anyone to go in thinking that this was a serious game!

Oh, and monele, I love the "Neko Neko Love Sugoi!". It could become my next game! (Just Kidding~ ...maybe...)

Played this game yesterday. This was a lot of fun :) Got Miyu's ending on my first playthrough... no surprises there to anyone who knows me - the tsunderekko are almost always my favourite :) I went into the game knowing it was a parody, and was very entertained by the
loved you since yesterday bits, and the "friends with benefits" endings! Bwahahaha! :D
I'd also like to know where the backgrounds are from, as they're great. Especially the ones that are only used briefly in the endings.

But this was an entertaining half hour. Thanks!

Did you download from renai.us? I know the first version was incorrectly packaged, but that should have been fixed.

They should work..? I rerelesed with the corect version ages ago...

Hmm, as DaFool said, have you tried renai.us?

And to chronoluminaire - Glad you enjoyed it! I got the backgrounds from one of the sites in the resources thread! They are incredibly awesome, aren't they?

Played it a week right before the national exam :P

A really short parody, but I like this. You chose the backgrounds very well...though somehow I feel the character sprites are a bit messy (sorry, don't mean to irritate you ^^).

This game is really fun!

XD The character sprites were a 3 minute rush job to make the deadline so no offence taken!

3 minutes?! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I cannot even draw that fast!

It'll take me 3 hours to achieve what you can do in 3 minutes...

(Actually, I could take a hint for my next super-minimalist project).

Actually, the colouring was the 3 minutes the drawing was about 10 for each!

Fortunatly, I knew it was a parody when I downloaded it. Nice quick joke especially since jerk is able to get girls who he just insulted in bed without really trying. A nice improbability seen in actual eroge game, but it does not just seem like an actual eroge game without doing the teacher.

Don't think it needs voice. The joke gets acreoss just fine.

LOL LOL LOL

Keeping in mind that this was a parody, it was very funny. The girls don't seem to care that the main character is a self-centered egotisical fella, they don't care that he JUST insulted them, and their *I loved you since yesterday* line is great =)

Admittedly forgot you finished this :oops: and after readlizing you did...gave it a go. Glad I did, it was a HOOT!
