Others - EXXXOLIFE [v0.4.0.3] [EXXXOLIFE]

The combat is clunky: having to spend most of my turns defending just to get one or two hits in is not engaging. The hunger and rest mechanic adds nothing but makes the game more annoying to play. In many places the writing breaks down and becomes difficult to follow. The pacing is also very very slow.

This game deserves higher rating. Even at version 0.4.0.3

Visuals, atmosphere and level design along with excellent music is easily 10/10. Progression is also good, upon reaching MC private quarters the game becomes immersive. Some dialogs needs to be shorter. More H content is needed.

Developer needs to work on 2 aspects of the game, which at this point is both frustrating and punishing.

Combat needs work, AP cap is a bad way of prolonging the combat, specially when the only way to replenish AP is to become a punching bag for the enemy.

Lack of quick save punishes the player. to the point of closing the game when you die 85 % into the level and have to start again.

That said, Its an awesome game to play if you are not in a rush for adult aspects.

So, I'm about 2-3 hours in game, and here are my 2 cents.
First, the graphics: It is unexpected to see Retro-looking modern graphics that screams "German Game Company circa 2003 gmbh." Yet manages to look decent. The Gameplay is straightforward turn based shooter, the pros are that you can basically get a sneak attack if you know what you are doing, and the cons are if you do sneak attack, it is possible to fail every shot going forwards. RNG is merciless. Or maybe I'm just unlucky. THe Game has Alt tab allergy and has some wonkiness when you pick up items while crawling (it offers to climb a non existing ladder)
Otherwise its run off the mill time waster. Standard run back and forwards to get a possible sex scene of which there are only a few. Unintuitive perk system (I personally went for more stamina, as I thought, hey I have to wait every second-third round to attack. You get one max stamina, but you need one of the pills to get it) Getting around is hassle, as it takes forever for the char to do anything, and alt-tabbing pauses the game so even waiting for "fast travel" to finish is "You have to look at me while I'm sliding this char portrait from one place to antoher"

as for porn?: I saw protagonist boobs, i saw man fuck/lick tits/give cunnilingus to other npc, and my PC gave a handjob, masturbated in 3 predetermined locations and thats about it.
Not recommended to get it now, as its just grind. Unless you get off on walking everywhere. Then this is for you.

Problems, right off the bat, problems.
1. this is a free roam game, which isn't bad per se, just the execution is bad
2.some controls (i.e. the jump button) is exclusively non-existent, you are still caught in battle and the jump is so hilariously small you'd think you were NOT in space(gravity shouldn't be a thing)
3. when you start the game, it runs on two instances, so if you were to try and modifiy, or god forbid, delete it, no worries, cause your game is still running even after you've closed the windows. riveting.
4. in side scroller non-fashion: no pregnancy even though all routes/plots points to the/a game that should lead to it (does the alien DNA REMOVE human sperm? if so: why??? what makes it so special that when there is a failure of mutation the males that become sex addicted beasts that they can't impregnate someone, or better yet why can't the DNA modify it so that the females they go into get pregnant within weeks or days?).
5. there is basically no save, so in actually it's a rogue's-like side scroller game, only you get to save only when getting to the beginning or end(or the branching of) of the levels. oh, and it isn't manual, no get with the times young wipper snapper..! it's automatic only. so essentially the game doesn't know what it wants to accomplish, which is sad cause even some games that have lolicon tag in it have something of a coherent game-plan.
6. no battle-fuck or even chances where you can revive yourself from death, or if you lose you're not dead but "something" is taken (since the game has the equivalent to gang members( it can even be MC's virginity)).

if new games will continue to have poor execution for boasting massive potential like this, and refuse to make amends after critique or at least the norm of not using said potential to be good, then people, go back to the drawing board. ask yourself what you want to make, and before you hit that submit button on that fated game of yours: T.H.I.N.K.!
Take your time to assess your game, whether it be by yourself, OR your peers.
Handling of the game (performance issues). see if your game doesn't break on doing what the game does normally, and make it hard for those who play the game to break it or find glitches to do that.
Instruct or Inspect the game's features yourself, and see if the game you have made will be well received by strangers or consumers. don't rely on bots or new "acccounts" for your business/model.
Never EVA make a game soley on potential. don't be like Red-eyes Black dragon, you want efficiency (like Dark Magician, or powerful starting impact like Blue-eyes white dragon).
Know that your game will be taken with a grain of salt, so don't sweat the ones you know your game is not made for (as long as those are the minority).
if you see this and still accidentally (benefit of the doubt) submit the game: DELETE IT and postpone. trust me, you're doing this website and the mods a favor.

sluggish movement, sluggish controls, no way to travel back if you've moved forward, autosave that's painful. String of battles that take forever, the weird system that limits how much AP you regen in battle AND out of battle, then after the 4th time through due to dying from a string of them, then walking towards what you thought was a wall but ended up being an instant death pit, you are frustrated, bored, and ignoring the background only to walk into an entirely different instant death trap.

The game wastes your time and hates you for wanting to try playing it.

First of all, I really enjoyed the gameplay until now. I can easily see this one becoming one of the really good sidescrollers on here. Especially, because there is actually a fun game and not just H-Scenes stacked togehter.

My biggest negative right now are the audio issues, which made me turn down the volume during play. I tried different audio devices and frequencies but nothing worked. It just simply sounds like the headphones aren't plugged in properly sometimes.

Other then that we have a fun, promising project here. Would recommend checking it out!
