Bio
This account was made solely to express my passion for Flip Witch because, yes, even though I passionately reviewed it I am still way too embarrassed about it to put it on my main account.
Maybe I'll talk about more games in a similar vein someday? Don't hold your breath. (Unless we get a Flip Witch 2.)

Flip Witch is a metroidvania and a porn game, crafted by the brilliant developers at Momo games, that manages to do some things better than a lot of the games in either genre. The phrase "some things" is only referencing metroidvanias though, because Flip Witch is easily the best porn game I've ever played.
While I'm no connoisseur of games du pornographique, most of the ones I have played all suffer a similar problem: for one reason or another, it takes way too long to get to the good stuff. It becomes a question of "When can I 'enjoy myself'?" because pretty much every single one feels like a series of hoops to jump through to see what you actually want. If that leaves you unsatisfied... well, tough luck. Here's another set of hoops to jump through before your next chance at "blasting off".
Flip Witch does none of that. It knows what you're here for and it gives it to you. A lot of it. Once you unlock an animated sex scene, whether it be upon completion of a quest or from the game over screen, you can rewatch it as many times as you like from the main menu's gallery. This single feature changes the question from "When can I 'enjoy myself'?", to "When do I want to 'enjoy myself'?" Now I'm jumping through hoops not because I want to cure my blue balls, but because I'm genuinely excited to see what else I can find. And in true Metroidvania fashion, there's quite a lot to discover.
In the world of "it's still a porn game, did you really think I even noticed if the land you explore has a name?", every level is filled with new enemies, bosses, quest npcs, quest items, costumes, and gacha coins. Let's break that all down- in the beginning of the game you meet a cowgirl named Belle, who asks you to find her cowbell. You find it in a chest that's borderline impossible to miss if you play the level normally. Once you bring the cowbell back to Belle, you're treated to a special scene with her. It might be a little underwhelming by itself, but it gives the player two massive reasons to continue exploring the map- so you can find more quest npcs, and the items they need. (What were you thinking?) But some quest npcs need you to wear a specific costume before starting their quest, so how do you get costumes? By finding the costume shop girl, who hides in different corners of every region in the game with new costumes specific to that area. But wait, each one costs 500 gold or more? Now chests that give you lots of gold instead of a unique item aren't so disappointing to open. Enemies aren't just fun to look at anymore, fighting them gives you gold. Gold that brings you closer to new costumes, which bring you closer to brand spanking new sex scenes! (Too bad there aren't any brand new spanking sex scenes, maybe they should fix that in Flip Witch 2.) While you're scouring each area for all of the above, you'll also find gacha coins, which you can spend to unlock additional animations of npcs and enemies performing a variety of sexual acts. Talk about getting some bang for your buck! (What did you expect? You're reading a Flip Witch review.) Once you've drained an area dry of it's collectibles, the only thing left is an encounter with the local boss lady each with their own appealing design- combat and otherwise.
For every four sex scenes you unlock, (not including the game over screens) you can get permanent upgrades to damage, more healing charges, and boosts to the potency of said charges from your Flip Witch Sensei, Beatrix. And a couple sex scenes with her, too. This is the lynch pin of a positive feedback loop encompassing all of the collectibles listed above (aside from the gacha coins), that deeply encourages players to engage with every facet of it's design. I've played tons of metroidvanias and while Super Metroid is still my favorite, I can't say I've seen a single one that connected so many elements of it's design in such a rewarding fashion. I'd be remiss if I ended this review before saying that I loved the soundtrack, it's the cherry on top of a fantastic game. Flip Witch will forever be one of my favorites and I'm glad I took a chance on playing it. And if you made it this far, go buy it yourself!
(If anyone from Momo games is reading this, thank you for your hard work! Big shout outs to Momo games, Seedy Goblin, Moxie, Chippai Oni, CandyWitch, Mylkbear, and Momojams especially! It warms my heart to see you guys enter the industry with such a splash, and I look forward to seeing everything that comes next! -Your biggest fan!)
