This game is not what I expected, and I’m not sure whether I like or dislike what it turned out to be. But it’s definitely well put together, and the gameplay is pretty fun!

I did not expect this. Jokes about innuendo and kink aside though, there's a really compelling sort of rhythm game design underneath it all that which I think could be worth exploring more deeply, with or without the big masochistic man.

Wow, that was surprisingly fun. I found the concept amusing though I did find it a bit annoying when I had to watch as I lost a couple of loops because potions kept being thrown at me.

Developer

so happy for you getting fun!

I really wanted to give you a 1 star review just because this game programmed me to feel this way.

In all seriousness it was entertaining and unexpected

Hahaha what a masochist! I'm so conditioned for the classic green = good and red = bad that I found myself subconsciously clicking incorrectly... so cool that this game makes you recognize and break a habit.

It took me a while, but I won in the end! I can't say much, I like the graphics and the audio. The gameplay is very rewarding. + the tutorial on the rock is a great addition. Good job!

Developer
