Dang, that was super fun! the music was absolutely banger, and the character designs were great, same with the level designs. I'm not usually great at these types of games but even I was able to make it to the end. However, I feel like the cooldown between between the player's  attacks was just a bit too slow.

This put my mind into "let's play a fun ass game" mode instead of "let's review a game jam game" mode.

For something developed in a month, that is a significant achievement.

The framing is really good. Seeing snippets of the characters between runs, tying progression through the dream to acquiring the sleeping pills, tied the narrative and gameplay halves together nicely. And the gameplay was good as well -- fast, reactive, with plenty of upgrade options. That, plus the amount of effort that went into different map designs, kept me entertained for FAR longer than game jam submissions usually do.

If I had one critique -- damage is really important in roguelikes. The fact that the arrows are so hard to see, and that their damage sticks around for the rest of that floor, was frustrating at first. Eventually, I figured out how to play around it, but that's the thing -- it felt more like playing around it. Clearer contrast between the arrows and the background would make damage a lot more predictable, and probably would've led to me completing the game quite a few runs sooner.

Not that I'm complaining. This was great fun, and an astounding amount of effort for a one-month project. If you choose to develop this further, I will most certainly follow it ^w^

hmm.  obviously a lot of skilled effort was put into this in a lot of places, but the current state is a touch rough.  i guess a prime example is that the cooldown between basic attacks lasts longer than the animation for doing them, which means there's a period where i don't seem to be doing anything, but if i try to attack, nothing happens.  there's no other indication as to when i can attack again, so the most common part of the combat feels like a dice roll.

this game is oddly difficult to comment on, because it has these palpable gaps that i strongly suspect are places you intend to fill in later?  the VN parts are so unlike the combat parts that they feel like two separate games sharing the same characters.  and, okay, given the dream theming, that makes sense.  but (at least as far as i got) there's very little narrative connection between the two, which is an obvious avenue to explore, so you probably have something in mind?  but i don't know what it is, and it's exactly what would tie the two parts together, so saying anything now feels...  premature?

likewise you seem to have put a lot of effort into making solid models of curvy fish girls, but then they only appear in the form of inch-tall enemies; the VN and sex scene assets use unrelated 2D artwork.  so again i get the sense that i haven't seen the whole idea yet.

you'd think this happens a lot with jam games, but something here specifically feels more like "free demo" than "prototype".  which i think is probably a good sign, just an unexpected one

curious to see where you go with it!

very good, an improvement in combat would be welcome, but in basic terms it is great

Genuinely fantastic! It's fun, the art looks amazing, the writing is interesting, there are well picked sound effects and music, unbelievably there's even some voice acting! Truly incredible effort for a jam submission in terms of completion, mechanics and overall polish.

I like the switches between narrative and gameplay. As the development continues, you could include a menu of story and level choices so that players have more control over what they're getting into. The gameplay feels very solid with a fair bit of variety. I think that some of the tougher enemies may benefit from an ability to dash to a new spot after getting knocked down, Dole Fin seems strong primarily because she doesn't flinch from attacks unlike the others. The only major bug I saw was that clicking through the text too fast could restart the whole dialogue.

I am very impressed by how much got done in a month! Just the 3D assets and animations alone could be a jam submission, a complex game and interactive sex scenes on top of that are beyond anything I expected!

great game.

I wish there was some kind of unique dialogue for beating the boss at the very start, it doesn't seem like it's possible or at the very least i feel like i was whaling on her for way longer than she takes to go down once you reach the actual game. Shrimpie's a great brat tho, really nice designs and art. Everyone's said most things that i could say, but one thing is it doesn't seem like the elements have any difference from one another? you seem to get an interchangeable powerup to your sword and an interchangeable heavy attack and that's about it. so either that's just something not communicated or it's something to be expanded upon if more work is done.

EDIT: Oh yeah and the SFX are really quiet by default. They just get completely drowned out by the music. Dunno if anyone else mentioned that.

So, I've played this game for about hour+ a couple of times now, and it's a pretty fun game! If I could rate it, I would give it a 4 out of 5. The art, the animation, the music and sound so far are great! The power-ups allow for a unique build almost every game. Either pick your faves, or try out all of them! The first night I played this, it took several attempts to get to the first boss, and then to get more used to the gameplay. Honestly, the primary attack, while cool looking, it's a bit tricky to aim and there seems to be a delay after using it. Which makes quick, consecutive attacks very hard to do. I prefer to use the AoE attack button(s). Even if it's not quite as powerful, it's easier to control and you CAN execute it multiple times pretty quickly too! I was able to get through the stages and both bosses multiple times using only the AoE attack and dashing. Also, I noticed tonight while playing, that after attacking. Either primary slash or AoE, if you attack facing any direction other than right, if you let go of the arrow button(s) for aiming, the character will turn and face his right automatically. Other than those 2 little issues, this was a fun and worthwhile game. I hope the team behind this game will keep developing it! I'm curious to see what else they will add and if they will fix the two issues with attacking I noted. Definitely a game to try out and keep an eye on for any future developments!

I really enjoyed, while it kicked my ass at first I found myself having tones of fun once I started getting a hang of it. I look forward to more.

Plays fine but I agree with other people that it feels lacking in terms of feedback on hitting enemies. Didn't feel fun enough to keep playing after i finished the first boss. Maybe could have been fixed if the hitting enemies felt better but i might just not be a fan of the genre.

This is amazing!

a hades-like? in my strawberry jam?? 
it's really good! the art's lovely, needs some fine tuna-ing [nyuk nyuk] but horny fish hades sounds like a winner!

Beautiful art and H-scenes,
