Flipwitch is an excellent metroidvania with a somewhat distracting, horny skin slapped on top. I feel like this is a chicken/egg situation. Did this start as a joke hentai game that became a legitimately fun, well-made metroidvania or did the devs fear that it wouldn't gain traction without catering to a certain audience? Either way, it's worth looking past the C-tier H-scenes to play this game. The background art & environments were visually stellar. I enjoyed the enemy design (although I felt that enemy health didn't scale super well to the late-game environments) and the bosses were always fun, even if they rarely posed a challenge. (With the caveat that the second boss' health needs a MAJOR nerf - the fight took way too long for that early on). I also surprisingly enjoyed the "sex change" mechanic insofar as it created good platforming and light puzzle challenges. This was a really strong effort and a joy to play. I would love to see another metroidvania from this dev without the pandering hentai stuff (or maybe just less of it).
