I'm not completely sure what you mean. I think you are talking about getting downed by enemies though.

In this game there aren't any game overs. I didn't want sex to only happen when you lose the game. I also didn't want the game to be too easy. So the idea is that the only way to "lose" is to get overwhelmed. If there are goblins around, you will be able to get up, but if you get hit you will get knocked down again. You will still have the option to get up though, and maybe find a gap where you can escape. If there are too many goblins this will not be possible. That is the closest you can get to a "game over", or a "death". If this happens you will need to press "backspace" during an animation, and return to the lobby to try again. If you unlocked/passed any save points you can talk to Jenny at the desk, and she can warp you to one of those save points. That way you don't have to walk as far.

Some platforming games have "pitfalls". Where if you fall in you die, and have to go back to a checkpoint. Getting stuck in a group of goblins is basically my game's version of that, but you can choose when you give up. Part of the games challenge is being careful where you spawn goblins, and trying to stay out of the "pitfall traps".

im talking about that part at the start when you enter the hole where that gal (i forget her name) tell you to jump on a goblin head but if you fail you have to get fuck, up, like after the 1st goblins you see in game, if you fuck up it is very ez to get overwhelm which is kinda just a softlock, a softlock is a state where you can't do anything and have to reset the game, either you stuck in a thing and can't get out or stuck in a animation that lock you in place, and the only way to proguess is to load a save or close the game which makes that a softlock, the gaurd kill goblins will often get fuck and if you fuck up the jump you have to go down and get fuck to proguess but the gaurd will die most of the time when you try to jump so you likely just get overwhelm and softlock, maybe give u some iframes after geting rape for like 4s, and the timer before you birth a goblin is kinda to short, did you play test that part? that part is just bad game design if the chance of a soft lock is very high,

Okay. That part isn't as hard as it might seem. I did test that room. A lot. Try this. Wait until the goblin is walking away from you. Try to time it right before he gets to the end of the platform, and turns around. That's when you want to jump on him. Also if that goblin dies, you can leave the room to respawn it if you don't want to go through the birth process. You can also press "BACKSPACE" during a sex scene to warp back to the lobby. You don't have to reset the whole game. Getting overwhelmed is part of the game design. That is how you lose, but when that happens you use the "BACKSPACE" key to try again. I tested having longer iframes, and it made the game way to easy.

so this game is design around softlocks? that isn't fun game design, losing should be something that feels you fault in single player games, not something that will always happen if you made 1 mistake, having to reset the game to get out of being over whelm is just soft locking the player, there no other way of putting it, ik you not closing the game but you still reloading the game so that still counts, losing doesn't really feel you fault in this game and turns this game into pure trying over and over again sim, and even moer cuz this is kinda at the start of the game when the player isn't 100% skill at the game and shit, oh most all the time at that part if you fail you might not even try giving birth to a goblin which is what the game tells you to do and reload a save and try again cuz you will just be softlock,

It's like in a platformer, when you fall into a pit. You would die, and go back to a checkpoint. Having to go back to a checkpoint isn't a soft lock at all. This is the same sort of thing.

It's a challenge. You gotta time the jump. If you time it wrong you won't get it. I've done it many times. I'm sorry you're struggling, but it can be done. If there are too many you can just keep standing up, and move towards the stairs. Then leave the room, and reload.

I hope this helps.

having yo reload to a checkpoint just to proguess or try again is still a softlock

Alright, well I've done what I can to help you out man. I think if the game is making you that upset, maybe it's just not for you. There are plenty of games that make you restart if you lose, and there are plenty of games where you can't lose at all. Find one that you think is fun, and doesn't make you angry.
