I've tried downloading twice with android, but a pop up keeps showing about your privacy options on newer android models, it'd be great if you could update the options, thanks.
I love the concept and the game, but there's a couple glaring issues, which is fine because it's still in such an early state
- Lots of bugs
- While cards are no longer huge and hover, equipment does the same thing in the customization screen
- Dialog will cut off and immediately play the next dialog
- Some abilities are only able to be activated once per turn (mostly happens after a stun, even if you succeed the stun coin flip)
- Character cards will occasionally get stuck to your cursor and not let you drop them
- Dropping character cards is really finicky and should be more responsive
- Using the mascot card while there is a mascot card in your discard pile has a chance to weirdly duplicate cards in your hand and remove other mascot cards that are in your hand. Then when you play the duplicated card, it puts the mascot card back in your hand, causing the duplicate to go into your discard pile, allowing you to repeat this cycle for as long as you pull more mascot cards
- Burning/hitting the same item of clothing too quickly causes the item of clothing to permanently shift its x position
- Art falls off here and there and feels lacking in effort
- Although the varying combat concepts are interesting, without the bugs, even with custom decks, hard mode on several characters becomes impossibly annoying. You do minimal damage, the girls can hit you for like 60 damage in a turn but without exploits you can only deal like 30, and they have significantly more health and seemingly better RNG
- The background music is very short and loops often
- Very long times in between significant updates
- Some of the effects that enemies do are just generally annoying, especially at higher difficulties and become unfun to play against. Poison from the mascot or burn from the magician for example just generally become unfun. I understand that crafting a deck for each specific girl seems to be the intent, but regardless having to heal yourself so often, remove burn, or prevent them from healing so often mitigates your ability to actually dish out damage
Regardless, I still love the game and the concept! Wish the devs all the best and I will be following along eagerly
Thanks for your feedback! Many of your concerns have been addressed, and I have a large list of bugs to still fix. The time between updates is long because I am the only person working on it. For the effort I'm putting in, I think I might be overworking myself. Hopefully I can afford to hire some more help later on. The art falling off may be because I've been working on the game for a few years, where I will have improved and learned a lot since I drew the older art. There is a bug with the outfits being used more than one time per turn, it will be solved in this month's update (and fix the x position shifting).
If you have some specific feedback that you'd like to see in a future update let me know and we can work together to make the game better!
Glad to hear that a lot of these issues have been addressed and I'm eagerly following along. Much love to you! Don't overwork yourself, I know that feeling all too well with burnout. Hope you have a good one ❤️
For the difficulty bit, there is decks you can make that hit consistently really hard. The only issue is that they're very similar because there's only one draw engine atm. Always include K.C, Mana Jackpot, and ARC helpers and then always include the beanie outfit. If you want to make it pretty op, use the pengi hoodie and hot pants and I promise everything becomes really easy. If you include all of that you can pretty much make the deck whatever you want. Other than for Syd, I don't recommend going over 35 cards. It's starts getting a bit too inconsistent.
You might be in Germany or China, which adult games are banned in those regions. The game will also be available for purchase on other sites like itch and Nutaku once it releases this summer ✌️
Are there any other ways to pay for/get the beta versions beside Patreon and SubscribeStar? I would gladly support the game, but i just can't add/pay with my card through any of them services as they always give me the "Invalid card" error (Probably because of the sanctions as i assume)
Not for the current version, but once the game releases it'll be on Steam and you can use Steam gift cards or Paypal to purchase it from their store. I'm also looking into getting more online stores on board in the future. Hope it helps ✌️
What's the approximate release date of the game? On steam it says it will be released this year, but do you have any assumptions in which month? I hope it won't be December...
I tried going ahead and buying the game on steam because I wanted to have the newest version of this game, but on the steam page it wont load because "This item is currently unavailable in your region." could it be that the game on steam is unavailable or that the item IS actually unavailable in my region? If so then please respond with the regions that are available to the game- Thanks!
Hi! I'll need to know which region you're from. If you're in Germany or China the game will be banned since it's an Adult game. Once the game releases this summer, the game will also be available here on itch at the same price.
Alright I got the soft lock bug, where the character says dialog and then doesn't finish its turn, but in medium difficulty. After it happens all difficulties have this bug and I couldn't play at all. Also this bug prevents the game from opening again once you exit on itch, just a forever loop of "running' without opening the game. I have to uninstall and re-install just get the game to open, which allows me to play again on any difficulty from where I left off. I was able to play through medium, then fail on hard, then when going back to medium the bug repeated. Outside of this bug the game is really fun and I hope this review helps track the issue.
Which platform are you playing on? I'm surprised that it happened on Medium but that does help narrow the issue down a bit. I've been attempting to fix this issue but I've never once encountered the bug myself, despite how many people have reported it so far. Working hard to make sure it's solved by v0.20!
I'm playing on Windows, Yeah idk what it could be, the first time I was on a winning streak so don't think it has anything to do with the winning loosing mechanic. I would try to keep switching between difficulties on the same character to recreate it, it only happen when I switched difficulties. Either way I have wishlisted it cant wait till it drops, also do you plan to release a demo of it on steam?
I've come across a glitch where Arc soft locks and I can't do anything. this only happens when I lose to Arc then tried to rematch her. this glitch fixes itself when I fully quit the game. love the game still and I hope the glitch gets patched on a future update
A few other people have noticed this bug, it seems to only be in Hard difficulty currently. Which platform are you playing the game from? Web specifically has many more bugs than the other two. 🙏
Review from a long time (18+ years) casual player of multiple TCGs:
The Outfit Abilities weren't really clear. I suggest mentioning them after cards, because I thought at first that the hat which is pictured was a card. Originally I was thinking that you build up Mana to play cards, but actually you play Outfit Abilities with Mana. I suggest adding info that you can only use one Outfit Ability per turn. Clarifying that attack cards need a matching color Energy in the hand to play them, would be good. My first couple of hands had no Energy but I did have Mana and so only the discard pile was highlighted and I was wondering why tossing a card wasn't dealing damage.
I suggest mentioning in the Tutorial that when you deck out, and the Discard Pile is shuffled back into the Deck on your following turn, that cards you draw on the next turn will be unable to be played that turn and that the 10HP of damage is to a random Outfit piece.
Please add a way to read cards effects in the Discard Pile by hovering your mouse over the card. I also thought Mascot would let me choose which cards, instead of them being random.
The drag and drop system doesn't work well. While I do like the ability to sort your hand, sometimes I would try to drag a card and the mouse would desync from it, so while I could get the cursor over just fine, the card wouldn't be able to make it all the way for me to drop it. (Most noticeable when attacking the Hat with a card from the right side of my hand, but could happen anywhere.) A click to select and click where to attack afterward (or clicking the discard pile after clicking a card to discard it,), or double click to play a card would be really nice. Most cards only target one specific piece of clothing, a random piece, or all pieces, or is a non-targeting ability card, and so double clicking should just play those cards. The only time a selection confirmation should be needed by the player is if a card has a choice on which piece of clothing you damage.
Fun idea for a game, and the only thing I would add to it are Counter cards, which would prevent the opponent from playing a card if your Counter card meets the condition. These cards could either require their own energy like most other cards, or have a special Cost instead. Adding Counter cards, would give the game more direct interaction with the opponent instead of the game just being the first one to deal damage the fastest wins.
The characters and their expressions are cute. You clearly like your OCs. The VAs also did a really good job. The music is good too.
I ran into a bug in the demo where on the hardest difficulty the AI either wasn't ending it's turn or I was unable to start mine. Happened on Stella first then on Arc and after that clicking end match gave a JavaScript error followed by the game becoming unresponsive.
It looks like you have SFW Mode turned on, judging by the blue border. You can turn it off in the settings if you would like to play with the nudity turned on
Thanks for your kind words! Is there anything you'd like to see changed in the game before release? I'm planning on adding an "Endless" mode (you start with a small deck and each round you add another card to your deck) and a Guided Tutorial (step-by-step introduction to each feature with playful banter between a few of the girls).
I like the Endless thing, gives the game more ¿replayability?, also i dont know if i want to see something changed, as it is rn i like everything with the game being more clear with what the opponent is doing
One thing tho, the only bug i found is that sometimes the name of the personalized decks gets corrupted for some reason, in browser version crash the game but in the downloaded version doesnt nothing more than corrupt the name... i think
Yea this is far too confusing and complicated a system for me. Sorry but i dont find these card battles interesting. Im trying to play it now but im fast losing interest cuz card battles are boring. I imagine it will take years befor this gets to a point where there is any real content.
One of my next steps is to improve the tutorial, would you be interested in trying again after a guided tutorial is added? No pressure. (The tutorial will have playful banter between a few of the girls)
What happened to the demo apk link? And was the latest update to the android demo supposed to break it? The gallery and battles weren't working so i was going to reinstall, but now it's just gone.
Have yout tried promoting this game on Reddit on subs like r/lewdgames or r/nsfwgaming? I've been following the development since ~may and thought that it could help bring exposure
That's not a bad idea. I've been trying to keep development low-key until the Steam page is finished (should be ready next week) so that I could direct people there for Wishlists. Admittedly I haven't used Reddit before 👉👈 It's an intimidating place for me. I'm open to advice for how to start there.
I wouldn't say that it's that different from other forms of social media, however what's neat about it is that you don't need a good following for your post to gain traction. You can check out the lewdgames sub's top posts or creators (for example u/timeWizardStudios who tends to post memes about their game or u/kodragon1997 who posts features/snippets) for inspiration. You should also post to multiple communities to maximize exposure.
You can make decks larger than 60 but it won't let you save them. I'll update the formula in the next version so you can't even pick cards if you have 60. Thanks for finding the bug!
I made the game first person and all the dialogues are gender-neutral (they won't talk about the player's body), so you can self-insert whoever you like. The outfits you earn are the ones from beating your opponents and don't necessarily mean they're what you're wearing. ✌️

I've tried downloading twice with android, but a pop up keeps showing about your privacy options on newer android models, it'd be great if you could update the options, thanks.
It should work, I fixed it a while ago. I'll look into it again. If you have any tutorials for me that I could use that would help me out a lot!
There is a bug with the shop, the discount is not applying to the outfits, only the lewd loop after beating challenge mode.
I'll look into this, thanks for letting me know!
Stella doesn't appear in the gallery
She appears when you beat her on any difficulty and click Gallery button after winning.
Arc's Head Pet Simulator?
That's a bit outdated, I'll update it with my current projects. Bottomless Mines and Splash & Flash will be the next two games I work on.
(-_-) So,… no game about capturing animals and fitting them in to your hair as you travel the galaxy?…
(^_^)b Thank you for the reply.
I have a problem with the download i try to download it through patereon but it doesn't let me can anyone help;
correction i found it to add in itch.io launcherjust use computer not phone

Edit: The helper cards include 3 of each.
i cant add it to the wishlist on steam, it doesnt work
You might be in Germany or China, which adult games are banned in those regions. The game will also be available for purchase on other sites like itch and Nutaku once it releases this summer ✌️
Goog game
Can I play on my phone?
There is a download included for Android phones ✌️
Is it full version?
Does phone have full version?
Are there any other ways to pay for/get the beta versions beside Patreon and SubscribeStar? I would gladly support the game, but i just can't add/pay with my card through any of them services as they always give me the "Invalid card" error (Probably because of the sanctions as i assume)

I'm aiming for mid-June, and I'm planning to host the game at the Steam Summer Next Fest and release shortly afterwards ✌️
Takes so long to load for some reason
I tried going ahead and buying the game on steam because I wanted to have the newest version of this game, but on the steam page it wont load because "This item is currently unavailable in your region." could it be that the game on steam is unavailable or that the item IS actually unavailable in my region?

Hi! I'll need to know which region you're from. If you're in Germany or China the game will be banned since it's an Adult game. Once the game releases this summer, the game will also be available here on itch at the same price.
Good news, I was able to fix the "Floating Card" bug, the new version [v0.20] will be available on the 24th!
Alright, i cant run it on my phone, and i need to know how i can, i also need ro know the other platforms it can run on.
Could you let me know the model of your phone? Thanks and I'll try to figure out the problem 🙏
I like this
I can’t even load the game without it reloading
Which platform are you playing on? That information will help me find the problem.
dang my bad, just saw it said it might not be able to run on my device lol
Still, this seems like a very fun game 👍
I was able to fix the softlock bug, it will be updated in [v0.20] later this month! ✌️ Until then, simply reload the game after a loss.

Yup, I do plan to have a Demo on Steam as soon as all the major bugs are ironed out and the interface is a bit cleaner ✌️

I downloaded the windows version of the game and for me the glitch occurs when I lose then rematch. Love the game and keep up the great work.
This info helps a lot! I don't often test when losing a match, so I should be able to fix it for the next version 💪

Fantastic feedback, thank you so much! Very clear suggestions and all extremely helpful! I'll be using this to improve the game, thanks again!
God damn bru this shit long as fuck but amazing feedback though
can you move the close button on the thanks for playing popup so it doesn't take away from the dialouge
Will do! Thanks for your feedback, I'll make that menu easier to read for v0.20 👍
It looks like you have SFW Mode turned on, judging by the blue border. You can turn it off in the settings if you would like to play with the nudity turned on
Hellp
Those characters are not in the game yet.
Ty 😋
I get only having 2 fights in the demo but, not being able to customize your deck of cards?! wtf...
being able to play around with (even a) limited pool of cards would make the max difficulty level not needlessly tedious.
idk why you even bother to update the demo if you're stuck with the same
(god awful) starter decks for over a year.
Maybe you can add the character's strip dialog, when you strip them in the gallery
I always play this game again cuz i like the characters but i also love to get mad when is too hard, amazing game i will support it once i can 10/10
Thanks for your kind words! Is there anything you'd like to see changed in the game before release?

Can you publish Chinese
will there be h scenes or just nude
There will be bonus lewd loops for each girl, the current build only has 2 but the final game will have all of them.
What happened to the demo apk link? And was the latest update to the android demo supposed to break it? The gallery and battles weren't working so i was going to reinstall, but now it's just gone.
Oh shoot that's embarrassing, I marked it as Linux by accident. Check now it should be up 🙏
Thanks for fixing that. I see it now. And re-installing seems to have fixed the gallery and battles as well
Can i post this on my youtube channel. I may not have a lot of subs. But i do like this game alot
Sure feel free to, and make sure to turn on SFW Mode (or censor the video)
Thanks, and will do.
Did you lose your Discord server?
Yeah the one you joined probably isn't the real one, the link to the real discord server is in my Patreon About page: Arcane Pengi | creating Cute n' Lewd Adult Games | Patreon
Good

when do you plan to stop updating the free version?
how much are you planning to sell the game for on steam?
I become a member of patreon to support this game i really loved thankyou for this incredible art and gameplay 💝
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for your kind comment ❤️ I plan to keep creating fun game projects in the future ✌️
I hope you have the support that your current and future projects deserve 💝
am i supposed to be able to use these? (this is the demo btw)
also why can i use over 60? just asking
You can make decks larger than 60 but it won't let you save them. I'll update the formula in the next version so you can't even pick cards if you have 60. Thanks for finding the bug!
ok thanks, but i meant it lets me use the deck, it could be because of the [25] cards i had idk
it doesn't even fit lol, this with inner peace is so broken
Looks like you found a bug, thanks! I'll fix it soon
Suggestion: Male characters? Because no one replied to my comment last time, I'll repost it. Maybe add male characters? Just a suggestion
No male characters in this game sorry
Am I playing as a female?
Just wondering
I made the game first person and all the dialogues are gender-neutral (they won't talk about the player's body), so you can self-insert whoever you like. The outfits you earn are the ones from beating your opponents and don't necessarily mean they're what you're wearing. ✌️
Understood. Nice game. Looking forward to it
Suggestion: Male characters? (Idk if the creator stated that no male characters will be in the game, so I'm giving it a shot)
