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. ✌️
theres an exploit with arc that causes the card to dupe itself onto the discard pile when you play it with another arc card on your hand. i ended up with a deck that had over 300 cards and like 95% of those were arc
I have a few ideas for new cards or clothing items, like for example a really expensive shirt that doubles all damage to a specific piece of enemy clothing for the rest of the turn. Do you take suggestions? If so, do you have a discord that people can join?
Also, since we as the player also have clothing, it would be awesome to include the ability to create a custom character (i.e. the basics like hair style and color, breast size, genitals for people who are into futa etc.) who also gets undressed the more clothing we lose. Like obviously, we should be punished for losing clothing but I think for immersion and stuff it would make more sense if both characters actually undressed each other, instead of just the enemy.
And since all characters have their own unique cards, it would be pretty cool if the player could then also create a custom card for their custom character. Like you could unlock effects in the shop and then create a custom card with one or two effects to complement your deck build.
Also, will there ever be a paid most recent version on itch for people who cannot afford a monthly fee? I would absolutely love to support the game but I just can't afford to spend money every single month...
Have you tried using the v0.14 Android build? I'm aware of the crashes due to the high RAM usage and have been fixing it for v0.16. If you're okay with waiting a few weeks, that new version will be ready and will work on your device! ✨ Follow to be notified of the release~ 👍
well this certainly caught my attention - it's hellllla cute ^^
any way i can contact you directly? i wanna talk card game design (i've helped make a custom Magic set and started work on a Slay the Spire mod, but haven't finished it) and this game seems super interesting to iterate on. no worries if not though!
Depending on which deck you use, there's a few options: the Duo Deck you need to alternate Magical and Physical attacks to gain lots of Mana, then use the Mana to activate your Top's ability (+1 Burn) each turn. The Mental Deck you need to manage your Deck and Discard pile to get the optimal damage from your Garbage Day and Inner Peace. Also, the Stella card not only heals 10 HP, but also removes 1 🔥 Burn, so prioritize using that card on a Burned outfit.
Alternatively, in the full game you can customize your deck and create a new combo around cards not available in the demo ✨ In the next Demo, I'll be switching the Decks up with different cards and abilities. Hope it helps!
Looks like it's a bug, it will be available at a reduced price when you defeat Arc on higher difficulties. Once you buy it from the shop it will be in the Gallery under the camera icon! 📷
I would wait for the next version in a month or so, it will have more enhancements. Or you could wait for the Steam version which will be ready in about half a year or so.
There are plans to include more NSFW, one scene for each character (8 total). The scenes can be purchased from the Shop at a discounted price once you clear harder difficulties.

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'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

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)
theres an exploit with arc that causes the card to dupe itself onto the discard pile when you play it with another arc card on your hand. i ended up with a deck that had over 300 cards and like 95% of those were arc
10/10
Thanks for reporting this bug! I'll try to find it and fix it for the next update~
I absolutely love the game.

Hi PIN, add me on discord (same name as here) and I'll send you the server invite! Or you can join the link on my Patreon 'About' page: Arcane Pengi.
I won't be adding custom characters to this game due to how much work it would be, but I can add it as a suggestion to the sequel!
There will be a Steam and itch version for sale next year once the game is completed, but it will need a bit more time until it's done 🙏
10/10
I like sending their clothes into the shadow realm :3
Glad you liked it! ✌️
when and/or do you plan on releasing the full game for free?
Thanks for enjoying the Demo! The previous version (v0.14) is available for $5 on my Patreon. Let me know how you like it!
Great game and cute art style i loved it! Any plans of release the full version for free? (If possible for mobile)
I really like the game I would buy full version if I had money but even on demo it's fun
same here
Its a funny game lol
waiting for new update
Thanks! Glad you liked it~ New updates monthly (we just dropped one last week, so it'll be a few more weeks)
It keeps crashing on samsung galaxy a23
Have you tried using the v0.14 Android build? I'm aware of the crashes due to the high RAM usage and have been fixing it for v0.16. If you're okay with waiting a few weeks, that new version will be ready and will work on your device! ✨ Follow to be notified of the release~ 👍
I did try the v0.14 android and it still didn't work but I can wait a few weeks i look foward to trying the game
well this certainly caught my attention - it's hellllla cute ^^
any way i can contact you directly? i wanna talk card game design (i've helped make a custom Magic set and started work on a Slay the Spire mod, but haven't finished it) and this game seems super interesting to iterate on. no worries if not though!
Sure, send me your discord and I'll add you 👍
Are there any plans for sex scenes? Its fine if not obviously but I was just curious. :)
There is one currently (solo female) scene with Arc, and each girl is also planned to have one scene (also solo female for each)
the hard mode seems impossible to me, any tips?
Depending on which deck you use, there's a few options: the Duo Deck you need to alternate Magical and Physical attacks to gain lots of Mana, then use the Mana to activate your Top's ability (+1 Burn) each turn.

hey hey! i just beat arc on the star difficulty and it says i unlocked a loop,i was wondering where i could find that
The loop will be in the Gallery ⭐ Grats!
couldn't find it ( ；∀；) do i have to press c on the difficulty then the photo?
Looks like it's a bug, it will be available at a reduced price when you defeat Arc on higher difficulties. Once you buy it from the shop it will be in the Gallery under the camera icon! 📷
There's a shop??? i'm on 1.14 (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
This is really good. Easy to learn and enjoy! Might support the full release
Thanks, glad you liked it! My goal is Spring 2025 for Steam/itch/Nutaku releases. If you have any suggestions for improvement let me know!
so I bought version 0.13 a little over a year ago am I gonna have to buy this one as well
I would wait for the next version in a month or so, it will have more enhancements. Or you could wait for the Steam version which will be ready in about half a year or so.
Much appreciated. I apologize about the lack of punctuation.
Does the steam version will include NSFW?
Also, Great Game! Keep it up!
There are plans to include more NSFW, one scene for each character (8 total). The scenes can be purchased from the Shop at a discounted price once you clear harder difficulties.
