Its a great game but I got two bad things to say about it. 1: Chocolate boss should have a different start up for her different attacks. 2: I personally don't like 1-hit KO games. I get this is imitating an arcade game but I despise it and I think as a community all of gaming has gotten past one hit player deaths being the default.
Hello! I've made an itch.io account just so I could ask a question of help! But first I have to say this is a spectacular game! So much replayability and incentive for completionism! The cheats are unique and I would've never thought of some of them. I'm struggling with figuring out how to get Phoebe's unique distant helper(s)! I won't spoil what I've tested in order to obtain them, but everything that I've thought was remotely feasible and possibly the answer so far has fallen flat. I'm pretty sure I've gotten it *once*, and that was well before I realized I should remember how to replicate it :( I am looking forward to future updates and don't see myself boring of this game anytime soon ^^
Overall a pretty good game, but I want to talk about Phoebe's gameplay design for a moment.
Phoebe is a high damage character. Good, cool. The shot type is great at accomplishing that. She has a bigger hitbox. Given her powerful attack that's a fair enough tradeoff, though given the game's design it forces her to spam gas a lot more than other characters just to not automatically die at high sizes. That'd be fine if she had easy access to a lot of it, or some other method of crowd control that can actually protect her somewhat- but you just have to hope your blasting forward is enough to supply you on both fronts. Which- fair, Martha has a similar situation. But Martha's power up gives her a free full screen wipe/freeze whenever she finds it, with or without a full gas gauge.
Which gets me to my actual big problem- Phoebe's unique lactation powerup. I think the design is interesting, and the calorie-boosting and passive size gain are really fun... or they could be if they were on a different character. Phoebe does not like being very big for very long. She really gets shot really badly. The lactation powerup in theory can do this- but it also eats your entire weight gauge if it successfully resolves. Your prize? Near zero damage and calorie boosts. Calories you just spent getting the calorie boost instead of actually accomplishing anything. No floats for better DPS deeper in the run, no burst for an emergency screen clear, just some calorie boosters. All this tends to do is rush Phoebe past the low/low-middle weights where her strengths are strongest and propels her into the middle-high regime. This is neither a weight range where she's comfortable to play nor is it especially close to cashing in.
Plus due to how it works, her special finisher is
extremely hard to execute. The droplets don't deal a ton of damage to bosses
and it's not hard for the floaters to steal the
finishing hit from the basic lactation droplets.
The only significant way is to have a wall of
droplets on screen already from a prior cap-out. Oh, and using the regular lactation mode in a boss fight is practically
an instant loss vs Vanilla because there's no way
Phoebe is going to be able to fit through the gaps.
IMO she desperately needs some form of rework- I've had a lot of success with the other characters
in the game, and it's very fun
But as a BE and Lactation lover,
it's disappointing that there's been such an
oversight in "my character"'s gameplay design.
All the same, good game. Hope that this little rant isn't too much of an annoyance.
Also it looks like my formatting started to bug out, sorry, Itch did it.
I'll also post my high scores on the two main modes rq because why not. I don't really play Sally so I won't include her. I have tried to make Phoebe work more times than I've played Bella, fwiw
Because Itch apparently hates me, I'll have to type the scores out instead of providing screenshots
Full Course:
Phoebe: 357990
Martha: 840390
Bella: 522980
Mixed:
Phoebe: 689140
Martha: 862140
Bella: 798790
I just had a run in Mixed prior to posting this where I tried a lot harder to get value from her powerup to understand what I might be missing- but it still felt like 80% of the time I was fighting against the character.
I see... Thank you for your input! It's genuinely appreciated to see someone actually point out specific problems and offer criticism instead of going "Phoebe bad" or something. I'll try to think of something for the next BIG update...
Seriously, though, since that's a Martha-exclusive achievement, I recommend experimenting with her unique gimmicks. Maybe take a certain ability with you to a certain boss... and be sure to get plenty of hits in first.
I spent like 30 minutes just grinding Martha runs in an attempt to stumble over it already and I still have no idea how to trigger it... or what the best way to form power ups is. Or honestly what the best way to use Martha's is.
the best way to use an ability is to hit bosses until a bit of health remains. to perform it, you should have a full bar of gas and hold X/down button to kiss the boss... same thing with Sally and Bella
Might be a stupid request, does anybody still has v1.101? I had it as a collection since I'm thinking an idea, but I accidentally deleted. Doesn't really matter though, just asking.
Can someone teach me to get Bella's special helper? If I have more than 100 GP%, she automatically farts, and if I reach max size before I reach 100 GP%, I only get the option to Burst or Float down. Am I supposed to reach max size and 100 GP% at the same time by eating the durian?
I'm having this problem where the game does open up, but everything's black. It plays the sounds, and pressing z/enter does bring me to the menu (audibly). But the screen remains black no matter what. The game only opens up for me when I set the graphics driver as VirGL. If this problem seems a tad bit too techy than average, I wouldn't wanna bother any longer about it and keep the game to my PC.
I've tried changing up many things. Resolutions, Directs, even trying an older version of Winlator. And sadly, none of those worked :( I'm playing it cool though, just one misfortune. You're cool, tentacoolover. Thanks for sticking around. Enjoy your time.
came across a weird bug. don't know how I did it, but I was playing a game as massive martha (meowscarada skin was on) and the beam she shoots was suddenly firing slightly to the left. didn't mess up my game, but I thought I'd mention it.

really like it! kinda challenging when getting bigger on later rounds haha!
Playing with farts on kept making me think of Tamers12345's My Little Pony videos because of how they're used both for defense and combat.

Unfortunately, Phoebe has no special distant helpers. Not every character will have them.
Thanks for the reply! That puts my mind at ease.
Again, it's a super awesome game, I can't put it any better! :D
Okay, wait, why is this actually a really good shooter?
can you tell me where to get or create custom sprites for this game?
who knows what the apples in the lower right corner mean?
that represents what level you're on. it's an old arcade thing
FINALLY NEW CHARACTERS!!!
does anyone know how to get custom skins i am confused on how to get them

(Included mostly to prove I'm not just some noob with a skill issue, I've 100%'d the game lol)

Thanks for your consideration. c:
May i ask how to have Martha "kiss a boss" & have Bella "bloat a boss"? Thank you. ;)
Edit: Nevermind, i figured it out.
I still haven't, how do you kiss a boss?
You ask very nicely.

clenching holds in farts
how do you get custom skins
Shit so good I downloaded and played it on my phone
I'm dumb as hell. As of writing this there's yet to be a mobile version, so I just want to ask: What process did you take to make it run on a phone?
Use winlator, download fat fleet, extract the zip file in the app, then open the exe file in the app
I'm having this problem where the game does open up, but everything's black. It plays the sounds, and pressing z/enter does bring me to the menu (audibly). But the screen remains black no matter what. The game only opens up for me when I set the graphics driver as VirGL. If this problem seems a tad bit too techy than average, I wouldn't wanna bother any longer about it and keep the game to my PC.
Have you tried going to file manager?
