An average hentai platformer developed by Studio P. Not a bad one, not a good one either. I have seen better.

Sorry for acting weird sometimes: the control is inconvenient, and I didn't change it for some reason...

I can't read Japanese, so I don't know the story. Tried to find it on different resources, but there is nothing, even on DLsite. My guess is that some ancient evil has awakened and a hero...ine which is green-haired elf girl skilled in both swordsmanship and magic is on her way to stop that evil. Or maybe she is just an adventurer, gready for treasures. Who knows.

Just like in Viocide, I played last time, when you die, you can start the room you died in, so the game isn't very hard.

Controls:
Z - jump
X - melee attack
C - range attack
A - menu (custom power-ups can be set here)

The default configuration... is a bit weird. Why the hell is jump on Z? I have been playing a lot of hentai / japanese / other anime-styled games, I don't remember when Z was jump by default. It is like jump on B in a NES game. That's why I was playing poorly periodically, I simply didn't get used to it.

Other than that the control is fine, although, the heroine is inertial a little. At least, the control is fine enough to beat the game without problems, despite the problems actually can happen: there are a lot of monsters, spikes, other dangers. The levels designed is pretty well, I must admit: not just monsters are placed pretty balancely, so you can fight them without significient loses if you are careful enough, but also there are hidden chests, and they are not that hidden that you can't find them at all. If you search, you'll find, which also makes the game is pretty balanced. In the chests you can find three types of things:

1) Extra heart of HP (you start with 5 hearts, each heart is 4 HP, thus, starting HP is 20; max HP is 160 or 20 hearts)
2) Passively working power-ups (can increase damage the heroine deal or improve envoirment which open new pathes)
3) Custom power-ups which can be enabled in the menu

I didn't set custom power-ups for myself, since they significally make the game simpler. As if it is not simple enough, pf. The power-ups can be enabled in the A menu: blue means disabled, orange means enabled. Very time I picked one of them, I showed which one I get in the menu by enabling it and disabling. So what they do (from highest to lowest):

1) Enables additional platforms to jump on
2) Makes escaping from catching much easier
3) Gives a chance of healing on a melee attack hit
4) Higher chance of a heal item after defeating a monster (I am not sure about this one, I can be mistaken)
5) Being catched without "Pinchi!!" state
6) Restores full HP every room
7) Gives a chance to deal double damage (melee and range)
8) Gives a chance to reduce damage taken to zero
9) Massively increases projectile range
10) Massively increases projectile attack speed

About being catched and the "Pinchi!!" state, mentioned in the power-ups. Actually, it is a pretty interesting mechanic. Once the heroine gets damaged, she enters the "Pinchi!!" state. It doesn't last really long, and while she is in that state, a monster will catch her on touch. While catched... well, monsters are doing stuff with her. The h-scenes have both pixel animations and mini-cgs, which is good actually. If an animation contains vore, then this animation will cause instant death, once it ends. If it is... regular stuff, then, when the monster is done, it just leaves the heroine and walks away. For obvious reasons, that monster will end up being backstabbed with a sword in 90% of cases.

And that's all I can tell good or interesting about the game. Comparing with Viocide, this game is too poor. There is no different difficulty levels, no RPG elements, no post-game content, the heroine is not voiced, and music tracks seem to be from no copyright ones. There are more varieties of h-scenes though, not just vore, but some of them seem too cruel for me, even compare to Viocide ones. And even without custom power-ups, playing safe I managed to beat the game in 45 minutes. I see the efforts of the developers - since I have seen h-games much, much shorter and poorer than this - but still that's not enough for me.

To put it short, just as I said: it is not a bad game, but far from being a perfect one.
