Mei's Project

Overall this game was a fun experience, I had more fun beating the stages than jerkin' ngl. Mount Lady's time attack gimmick was fun, albeit laggy but that's on my computer, not the game. A major gripe imo is the ice stages, as they don't reset positioning when save scumming like the other stages do, resulting in dead runs. Another issue is that Midnight, the tutorial character doesn't appear in the gallery mode in any capacity even in its final update V20. I understand it may have been done to keep the gallery symmetrical , but an option in the tutorial would be nice. The game should get time-skip fits at the five year anniversary or something cuz this game is good. (Glad Illuxxxtrandy specified they are all 18+ in this AU, as only Mina and Jiro would've needed major re-designs to match the manga's finale looks)

v18.0 review So there's things to like and dislike with this one, but unfortunately the dislikes effect the likes directly. In this game you play as Mei and you made an advanced dildo and people come by to try it, or something happens to otherwise make you use it. Typically, you'll get an introduction to the character along with a bit of story and through that dialogue learn what they like. Using this info, you customize the dildo (long/short, thick/thin, rocky/icy/none) to their tastes and then you get the scene. The scene plays in the background and changes as you advance through various minigames. When you complete a boss enemy, you'll unlock the ability to see the characters in their row without playing. However the minigames are the first issue: I like the minigames in concept, but some of them just feel clunky, and with the strict timing on them, that leads to a bad experience. I think I'm pretty good with timing things usually, but with how slow these things refresh mixed with the tight timing, I have to just save scum my way through them. And speaking of saving, and maybe this is just an issue on my end, but every time I exit the game and start it again, upon loading my save, all my completed characters get reset. What this means is there's no saving. I think this might just be a me issue though, hence why I didn't rate this a 1. TL;DR Good art and minigame ideas, but when your entire gameplay is minigames, they need to actually feel good to play, unlike in this game.

Review for v10.0 It's a simple game with a neat enough concept. As mentioned in the overview you "play" as a girl who's newest invention ends up being a dildo that can change around a bunch of different features and modes to satisfy any hero's preferences. The game essentially has you pick from chapters where each one is a different girl walking in, telling you her preferences, and then you click a couple options to match it up and watch the animation play out. Or you WOULD just watch and enjoy the nice animations if the game didn't spam you with awful minigames during them. Man do they suck. I don't know about anyone else, but throwing minigames into lewd scenes has to be one of my biggest dislikes with lewd games in general. Of course you are required to do them to unlock stuff as well. All the game would need is an option to turn it off and I'd be good, but doesn't seem like that exists. I literally stopped playing this just because I couldn't be bothered to do them all. If you can get past that yourself then sure the art and animations are nice enough. I do think it's a missed opportunity not to have a bunch of different gadgets for varieties sake instead of the same dildo with the same few options for every girl. I'd probably only come back to this myself if an option to skip minigames was ever added.
