Thanks for your comment. I got some sort of a report from admin about them and we had a little chat about sexualiztion, feminism and sexism =) First of all - they are CHEERLEADER-nurse girls. And there is nothing wrong about cheerleaders. Secondary - they are the part of narrative of the game. We were unable to fully implement voice lines for patients correctly and was totally unable to implement voice lines for the Speaker at all for gameplay part of the game. This girls - are the succuby on the game over screen =)Yes they do have the fun_service meaning as well, but it's not the main their point. Thirdly - they maybe sexy, but they are not vulgar not only zero pornography but not even erotic. Just cute and sexy =) As a good succuby should be... I suppose all this talk about women, sexism and feminism is a local thing. I'm from Russia - we don't attach special importance in it because we know that liking good looking woman (or good looking man if you are gay) is ok and it does not make you a bad person. And lesbians likes good looking woman too by the way =D The all age audience does not mean there should not be anything sexy or violent, becouse the human's brain can find this in anything - no need even to try hard XD In different countrys there is different laws about age rights and standarts. In Japan you can start your sexual life at 14, in our country (Russia) it starts from 18 by the laws and standards (but sadly not many young people are following it). I know a lot of women who likes looking good just for themselves and not for anyone. And ofcourse I know a lot of women who don't care about how they look and are interesting people (all my girlfriends were more like this =3). People - are part of the animal world and we have instincts. It's a base psychology. Having it does not mean that we are unable to control it. Some people control themselves more, some less.But I can't understand the hype around sexualization and feminism, because it's becoming radical - more like some people just trying to force their personal points of thinking to overs. In the past century the feminism achieved a great thing for women part of humanity. But now - most of feminists (not all of them) are more like fighting with things they personally don't like. Think about it in my way for a second: is it bad to say what you like something straight instead of lying about it?
Expanding the topic: I have been a professional game designer for 3 years now. My skill level is at the Mid stage. I can tell that any game is a complex multipart product. Every development team decides on that parts of the game they want to focus user's attention. Jams are showing us that every theme can be done in in different genres and even the same core idea can be done in different ways. As the commercial game developer I can tell that the game should not only be made good but sold with understanding of marketing. Sexualization is one of the tools of marketing, but only porn games uses this tool like the only tool in the game. Arts, sounds, gameplay, UI, futures etc. all this parts creates the whole picture. If you cut one thing out of the game and will look on it without context - of course you'll be right in any logic. But only because you dropped all other parts. It's like... Are guns bad? It's dangerous - yes. But if there is a party of robbers in the house of lonely old lady? How can she protect herself? World is not divided on black and white, on good and bad, on woman and man. There a lot of gray points between two extremity.
About the inspiration from Helltaker:
The Helltaker was a reference only for the name of the game. All other stuff was created apart and there is bunch of easter eggs in game ^__^ Please tell if u found any.
Hey Black, thanks for the reply. I think there might have been some confusion regarding my comment. I'm not saying your game is bad. I'm not even saying beautiful women are bad lol. I think women are the most gorgeous thing on earth. It's not about sexualization, marketing, or feminism. And I really hope you don't feel like I'm attacking you.
It's way more simple than that. Sexualization is against the Community Guidelines. That's all. If your cheerleader/succubus were men in speedos with their dicks flopping around hahaha, that would be against the Community Guidelines too. :P I'm not surprised that you were contacted by the Admin. But! At least your submission wasn't disqualified. Just be sure to follow the Community Guidelines is all. Take care! ^^

Sure I didn't took your comment wrong =) It was my soul cry because right before you comment I've got a message from admin about the same thing so it resonated =)
And there is only point 4 about sexism. That rule is about no sexualiztion? Maybe I missed it.
Thank you for your comment. Yeah. The repetitive is coming out fast in 0.6.1 v. We are working on balance, some voice lines and E2 (a big fun part =3) so then the game will be finished repetitiveness will not be so obvious. Hope you'll take a look at our game then it will be finished and say what you think about it one more time ^__^
Thanks for playing the game. Yes, the game difficulty processes system is not that good. We didn't have time to test the game will and adjust how the game start and progress in its difficulty. That because we were working hard on adding and finishing the other content, in the end, we couldn't, there is a lot of art, animations, and SFX and a mini and event we didn't implement because of the lack of time. We still working on the game, and we'll upload an update after the Jam is finished with more content and bugs and game play fixing.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, your observation is in its place, the game needs a tutorial in the beginning. We have added an image on the game page that explains which tools to use with each condition.
I am still remembering you from Godot wild jam #24, I have so much fun playing your game (BushiDuo). And I'll definitely try your game for this jam.
Thanks for the amazing comment. The artists and the composer did an amazing job on the aesthetic. The notes that you pointed out are good, we didn't have time to do a tutorial at the beginning or just a note with text that explains things (we still working on the game and we'll update it after the jam). We will make use of the discretion of the game and add a tutorial there. Thanks for the notes and for playing the game.
