No offense but the tutorial for this game is horrible. You should make the player do the actions to learn what they actually do instead of dumping 6 boxes of text in hard to read font with no context for what they actually mean
Other than that I'm enjoying it. The obscured dialogue is a great idea
That would be good, the game is fun when you know what you're doing. Is there a place to see all the H-scenes outside of the game? I'm too lazy to play through multiple times, lol
You can probably extract the assets or find a full save for the gallery somewhere. They'll look slightly different since the game uses a subtle filter effect to blend them better.
I have never had something like this reported before. Blue screen in the sense of the Windows OS itself locking up?
Is this something you have experienced with other games or applications? It could be a hardware problem or some sort of mismatch to Unity's internal rendering structure.
Most likely case for it not going further than the title screen would be a save data corruption. You could try to manually delete your save files in case that's what's causing the issue. They can be found in C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\LocalLow\Impy\Sweeper\
I however recommend avoiding running this game on any device that had such an issue. This sounds like a serious problem and I don't want to put your computer at risk.
that seemed to do the trick i was looking for that corrupt save for the longest. first time ive ever had that problem with my computer but some things are more important then my computers safety
Nice that you're making more updates to this game. There's a good amount to play and see here and the art is nice as always. There's also good variety in the characters and the events with them are a nice touch.
Thank you for playing! I'm slowly getting ready to finish this one. There's still lots more I want to add before I call it done, but I do plan to have a finalized version ready before the next February game jam. It's been very fun making this into a full-sized game after the last one.
a major issue i have with the game is that even though it's called minesweeper, it's incredibly confusing to navigate, you need to solve missions in each one under a certain amount of turns, which for minesweeper IS A BIG issue because you need to think on it, and most importantly of all the fact you HAVE to move in 4 directions and you CANNOT go more then one square at a time which causes the whole thing to become a mess, i couldn't even clear the first mission because it gives NO context as to how to even solve it's puzzle in the time limit or what your even supposed to be doing, that and the fact the special abilities take into account, and the fact YOUR PARTY MEMBERS move all over the place and you'll have to get LUCKY with if their close enough to give you time for the mission
Eight directional movement is possible and there's no big penalties in taking multiple days to complete a mission. It's impossible to do every possible quest in a single playthrough, so play the game at your own pace. There will be unlockable boosters to help you after finishing the game at least once.
Great game with a lot of potential. It's nice to know that there is a developer in the world with the same fetishes as me. If I may, I'd like to voice my thoughts on what content could be added to the game.
1. More options for Percy's interactions with Ram, Abigail, and Ooli, especially when cross-dressing (and more sex scenes, of course)
2. The possibility of not only eavesdropping on the co-partners, but also peeking at them, you can also implement a catch/no-catch system along the lines of a skill check minigame.
3). More branched out system of NTR, for example: hidden NTR with no information, hidden NTR but companions are aware of it and pander to the main character, open NTR with full depravity, you get the idea))))
4. More interactions between the main character and the girls in the crossdressing phase, such as adding light (or not quite light) femdom with all its consequences.
5. And of course the further development of the story, with the addition of new characters and new plot twists.
Please forgive me my impudence, maybe I'm asking too much from you, but your game is really worth continuing to develop it. Of all the games you've created, this one has a higher level of quality and potential for further development. I think you will please all players by continuing to develop this project. On my behalf, I wish you success in your hard work.
(Also sorry for the errors in the message, English is not my native language, had to use a translator)
Thank you I really appreciate the feedback. I'm happy that you liked it!
1. There's 5 new events added for the crossdressing route in v7, more to come!
2. Not too sure about that one, but peeping from Percy's perspective might appear at some point. There are some "half-wall" locations coming in v7 where Percy will get to see a fraction of what's going on and talk from the other side.
3. That's sort of in the works. The crossdressing and shared sex routes that have been added over the past couple of updates already go in that direction. I eventually want to add some varied endings to those branches as well.
4. That might happen.
5. Probably no major new characters at this point. I will be adding many more scenes and interactions for the current cast. I'm planning to continue development until January before moving on to a new project. I do want to expand the story however.
what problem do these people have? mad at an inoffensive game? lol!
If it's not your fetish just move on.
Anyway great game bro, I spent a lot of hours on it and I'm waiting for the next updates, and I wish if you can put other colors in the description fonts in-game, at least in my view it is quite difficult to read.
Really like this update, so much content to find! Great art for all the new scenes and I love being able to date Miwi! Ooldra's also the most adorable troll ever. I can't seem to find the other new character though, are they in a specific mission? Great work though, as always, looking forward to version 6!
It's just one quest and a couple of minor events for the goblin girl for now. There's an ending scene in the "Soup to go" quest that introduces her and unlocks her first quest. I currently plan to expand her story in v7 and v8. Oolie already got a decent bit of content in v6, but I expect she will get more in upcoming patches too, she's definitely been quite popular since her introduction.
I can only imagine this game was either made by the most weak willed loser man in the world. Or some pathetic woman that thinks that a man she sleeps around on should still love her despite her being a whore that has no redeeming qualities.
LOL. You're so mad. Imagine getting so salty for no reason. Btw, you deliberately went out of your way to hunt down this page so everything you wrote says way more about you than anyone else. Good luck coping.
It's been 28 days. Subscribestar customer support is useless. Every single card I tried gets declined. Can I not just pay you $10 through cashapp or amazon gift for a download link of version 0.6 when you release it in a few days?
I'm very sorry for the trouble, but I would rather avoid direct payments of that kind. Forgive me for being frustrating about this, but I want to keep the support system simple. It's unfortunate that not everyone can participate, but I have faith that more payment options will become available through Subscribestar in the future. I will always keep my games free and available to all, the release delay is meant to simply provide a slight bonus for those who wish to openly support my work.
I've been trying to sign up to your $5 subsribestar for 2 days now but it constantly says card declined (even after trying 5 different cards). And I know of at least a dozen others who have been having the exact same issue. Is there any other way in which I (and others facing the same issue) can pay you to get early access to v5?
One of my subscribers reported that a pre-paid Paygoo card worked after his other cards were rejected. You can also try contacting the SubscribeStar support team.
Unfortunately, paygoo seems to only be available in physical stores in norway and Scandinavia. I've already tried signing up to revolut's prepaid cards too but to no avail.
I've tried contacting support but I'm not hopeful.
I've already given up. I guess it just isn't in my destiny. I'll wait until public release next month.
Hello a substar sub here, and just wondering if you guys have a discord or anything that I can going, I loved the game a lot and am looking forward to it. One thing I wish you could add was like a bonus skill for like 30 stars or whatever, that you can listen to the full conversations of all the voyeur events, because I really wish I could read them! I love the text in this game even though there's barely any so far, really hoope to read more dialogue in the updates to come. It's such a wonderful game that hits all the points that I love and wonderfully weaves the ludonartive experience of mixing the h content with the gameplay, Thanks again for devin Impy!!
No discord, I prefer to keep my presence limited, so I don't get too sidetracked with community management. I monitor Itch and SubscribeStar for comments if you want to talk to me directly. F95 seems like a good place to discuss the game with others, the thread there is quite active.
The voyeur event dialogue is something I plan to make a little more comprehensive in the near future. Enough words will be revealed for you to get the gist of the conversation, but I don't plan to reveal it completely.
Hello, Subscribestar refuses to take my card so I have no way to support you and/or get access to the newest version of the game,
I have seen that some others are having the same issues, is there any way for you to make a payment option for that here on Itch.Io like selling newest release individually as I have seen some do?
Futa events have been designed to be fully avoidable by never taking quests with Abigail in them. The "light the beacons" quest introduces her and unlocks optional encounters with Oolie in town, no sexual encounters will take place during her first quest. Beyond the standard NTR scenarios, the game gives you ample hints about the type of content you're getting yourself into by continuing down a particular path, but there are no plans to add options to disable certain types of content.
I know but the idea of a muscle girl who actually like percy is appealing, and shes the only one of her kind. So to gate her behind futa is pretty disappointing
There's currently a shared bath scene with Espa and Fio as well as a few events with multiple girls in them, but the only futa character in the game is Abigial as of v4. Abigail's ending, which is text only at this time, features futa transformations in it and I do plan to add a nice illustration to go with the story text in the future.
In the upcoming public release you'll get to interact with the girls and take them out on dates. Some of the cast will also have their own special endings.
I try to keep my social media presence limited, so it doesn't end up draining too much of my development time. It also gives me the chance to reply to more of the comments on the platforms where I'm active.
Also it'd be great if you could somehow extend the time you spend in the guild/inn since it was cool seeing scenes happen there, specially with the green haired goddess but it was SUPER frustrating having to guess where they'll happen and even more frustrating trying to move to a square with the ! icon only to find out the scene ended
I'll give it some thought. The simplest way might be to add a new start of game booster that lengthens the guild time for those who want it. I'll consider extending the default time too.
I don't really have a way to test Mac versions, there is however an attached document that lists a couple of solutions. I remember only one dialogue sequence being broken in v3, everything else should show up fine. Which specific ones are you having a problem with?
All depends on what my subscribers want me to focus on. I would like to eventually add some of the following:
-Percy with the girls (foreplay and teasing type events similar to the shared bath scene in v4)
-Percy sharing the girls with Ram or Abigail (leading to endings where Percy's not oblivious)
-Percy with the futa troll girl (new minor character with some content already planned for v5)
-Crossdressing Percy with Ram in an NTR reversal scenario (I wanted this since the first version, but I'll see how my subscribers feel. It might be something extensive or it might just be a hidden joke ending sort of thing)
Yep, that's what's in the plans. NTR haters would never even open the game regardless of how much non-NTR content there is, so I don't see much of a reason to have much of it at all.
Back at it again at silver, biggest public update yet and it's hecking good! Enjoyed all the new scenes (that I've found so far) and the new character, loved the small polish all around especially with Cetra having some small dialogues with the rest of the team. Quality of life improvements are great, I really like the icons for tile interactables and the screen showing the ability cooldowns.
In all honesty I think the interactive tile icons were probably my best idea in this update. I can't imagine going back to a game with no icons or cooldowns trackers. I'm happy that you liked the new content!
I had a lot more fun playing a minesweeper-type game than I would have ever expected! Love the game and its content. Can't wait for the 'juicer' bits in the future! I would have gladly donated and got the newest version, but my card gets rejected by subscribestar :(.
Thank you! There's more to come, so drop by again. All of my content will always become publicly available in the end, so don't worry about missing out, it's only for a little while.
Sorry for the trouble, scene progression can be quite random at times. I plan to add options to speed the advancement towards lewd content in the future. The update that's coming on the 11th will introduce a secondary rival and greatly increase the likelihood of events happening in the guild, so the odds of going through the game without seeing any erotic content at all will be fairly slim.
I never liked minesweeper, but you made this game into a porn minesweeper-riddle puzzle and that's pretty darn cool to me. I just finished my first play through; I was lucky enough to witness one fellatio scene from one of the girls, but it happened at the very end of the time limit, darn.
I had to take 2 days to finish all the quests I took, I don't know exactly how to escalate to the lewd scenes but even outside of that, I enjoy the actual game.
Love the girls and I can't wait for the next update. Only two suggestions I could make is longer summer time and act with the Sphinx to make the whole riddle 'pop out' onto the game screen. I ended up messing up because I didn't realize I had to scroll down for the bandit riddle lol.
1-2 days is the expected time for most quests. The game is deliberately designed for multiple playthroughs. Another public update is scheduled for release in 12 days, so you might want to wait before playing through the game again. The upcoming update introduces unlockable upgrades that will make it easier to complete the quests in one day.
Thank you for checking out my game, I'm glad you liked it!
Not too sure about other systems, but on most browsers in Windows you should just be able to click on the download buttons. I don't have a phone compatible version at this time.
If you're still wondering about itch.io app compatibility, the downloads aren't labeled in itch. Compare it to Psychic Archeology Agency (your other game)
Those symbols help itch.io app download and install the right version internally. I can't download Summer Sweepers (or any other game) with the app without those symbols.
Yes, I feel that this game is turning up great. The puzzles feel enjoyable and level objectives have a good bit of variety. I also love the characters and their interactions between each other. It's nice to see you updating this game, that already has good polish.
I will be posting updates for the next few months at the very least, there's still lots I want to add and improve upon. Thank you for playing through the new content, I really appreciate it!
Version 2 is looking great! I've already played through it twice, both times having a rough early start, but I have managed to see one of the new lewd events.
If possible, can I get a hint as to how to find or who is part of the other event? The one I've already seen is the one without Ram.
Speaking of Ram, man did he love running away from whoever I was trying to get him together with. I don't know if the AI was just giving me unlucky rolls or if it's been changed to start events if Percy is further away.
I've also been trying to figure out if one change was intentional or not. Since events end the turn that you see them, if you view one event while another one is going on with two other characters simultaneously, you have to choose which one to view and which one to give up.
The two events in this version can only happen in hidden rivers. One require Espa and Fio and the other needs Ram, Espa and Fio. Both girls need to be quite accustomed to Ram's advances for the 3 character event to take place, so it usually happens in later quests. The Tiny Island mission was added in to make the new events more likely to happen, so it's the best place to see them.
When choosing a tile to go to, characters prefer darkened tiles where events can happen. So having them near a cluster of such tiles will often keep them in that area. It is all RNG based however.
I have rewritten chunks of the code for handling events several times now, so I don't fully remember how it was in V2, but in V3 only the event you have seen ends on the next turn and not any other ones around the map.
Well, after playing another run through, I didn't get the event you were describing. I actually got a different event. During the third quest with Miwi, I ended up finding her and Ram together. Didn't know if that was intended or if you were excluding side character events with the new event count.
I figured, but I thought asking anyways would clear everything up. I guess Ram just felt like taking his sweet time. Me and my luck with RNG, am I right?
That's really helpful to know. I'm sure I'll be playing version 3 as soon as possible whether that's the public release or if I get to a point where I can comfortably support the game.
Looking forward to finding that other river scene and getting further with Miwi, Cetra, and the other side characters that will eventually be added in.
Been excited for version 2 since it was announced and the quality of life improvements are really helpful! Much easier to get quests done and see scenes in one day or two until you get to later quests. I'm pretty sure I found both new scenes as well, turning a tile feature that I disliked into something I'm excited to get is fantastic.
Are you thinking about having a Patreon as well? I'd love to give support for this game!
I have a SubscribeStar account. I don't think I would last on Patreon with their heavy-handed approach to creators. I'm really happy to hear that you liked V2! Drop in next month for minesweeper boss battles.
Yes the long awaited wait button is coming on May 7th along with a bunch of other features. The event you're seeing with the receptionist is most likely the dummy event that places her on the other end of the counter, it wont show up on the map in the version 2 update.
The turn timer has been cranked up in many of the new quests. The development of the game is oriented around replayability, so I'm not as scared of events not being seen in a single game as I am of scene repetition. There will be more erotic options in the future as new love interests and rivals get added to the game. The types of characters are voted on by my supporters, but I don't think that the animal traders would win too many votes...
Thanks for the response! And sounds great! can't wait to play the next update in May! Keep up the good work, and its fine I was just being a perv, and suggestion something really out there.(Monsters still might be a good idea though. unless your adding some monster "rivals")
I honestly just kind feel like Percy is just Asexual, doesn't really seem to bothered. But getting him laid would be fun XD
Oh! maybe toss a futa in there if folks want it!
Maybe a cute femboy/trap?
You probably already have oceans of ideas so i should really stop.
And do you do you're own art? Cause the sprite and everything are adorable.
Ideas are always welcome, post as many as you like. It's always good to get a sense of the content players want to see added.
A futa character is already in the process of being added for version 3. I do like traps, but I would need some inspiration on how to incorporate a character like that into the game in a way that makes sense. Maybe in a future project. You can also give my other game a try, it features both futa and trap characters in it.
Percy's knowledge and opinions on what his teammates are up to are deliberately ambiguous. It allows players to mentally choose a scenario that they prefer.
The only resources I rely on are the music tracks. All of the art, code and other assets are my own work. I'm happy to hear that you like the sprites, thank you!
Hmmmm could just have him function like Espa and be a climb/dex helper. Oh maybe have them be able to pick Locked chests as well! You might already have a spot for that but felt like making the suggestion. Hell could make the joke that its Espa's twin brother XD.
I was looking at that imp game, ill have to give it a shot!
Oh I had a fun idea! What if you could make Precy the trap?
This could actually become one of the greatest eroge of all time! Summer Sweepers is representative of the direction all lewd games should be taking: simple, fun gameplay that meaningfully ties to the cute and digestible interactions between characters. Not to mention it's entirely NTR!! It's a small game currently, but it already does so many little things right that I don't even feel like going through them all. I think my favorite emergent detail is the feeling of seeing characters organically decide to disobey my orders to go frolic with each other behind my back.<3
I really can't overstate how great of a framework this is. Please continue working on it, and feel free to play it even in this early state if you're thinking about giving it a try!
Thank you, I am very grateful for your words of support!
I played one too many NTR games where the lewd content was linked with losing the game, which somewhat ruins the core concept of the kink for me. The player should want to succeed and be rewarded for succeeding, but not directly with more erotic content because that too ruins the spirit of NTR. I set out to make a game where the sexual events would be integrated in a non-linear way parallel to the core game. I wanted fun gameplay with the erotica as a side-show that the player somewhat feels in control of, but is ultimately powerless to suppress.
I am making new content every week and updates to the game are well on their way. Last week's work included the addition of a new rival character and boss battles. I'm delighted to hear that you liked the game, that is absolutely the main reason I choose to work on such projects 💗
I'd like to preface my comment with a few things. I am a very bad minesweeper player. My success with puzzles is very inconsistent. All that being said, I think this game is very well put together at a fundamental level. It works well enough to get me invested for more than one run which is saying something. I even got to see a couple of the more lewd scenes so it's pretty accessible. I enjoy the art and layout of the game itself. I can't say this game is built poorly in the slightest.
The only complaints I have are either minor issues or quality of life issues, both can be sorted out in time. It's already been stated and noted, but I do have to mention that the objective clarity and sphinx puzzles could use a bit of touching up. I'd also personally like to see a bit more clarity for scenes that happen in the span of 1-2 turns, like the receptionist in the hotel. I didn't get to see that one happen at all. Maybe that's a fault of mine for not having very good predictive timing, but my point still stands.
As an aside, I'd also really like to see a change to the current dialogue. Some scenes are going to be repeated. That's just how the game works. I'd like it if the more those repeat scenes are viewed, the more of the dialogue you decipher, like changing the scribbles to actual script. That would make them more interesting in my opinion. I'm no game dev, so I couldn't exactly say whether or not that's a viable option. My guess is that you'd have to run a condition check that says something along the lines of, "if 'scene' has been viewed X or more times, change dialogue lines to..."
All in all, I'm happy with the game and hopeful for more positive progress in the upcoming updates! Best of luck to the dev(s)!
Thank you, I'm very happy to hear that you have enjoyed it. I have been considering adding an ability to send a teammate to the sphinx puzzles to figure out the solution for you or at least give you a hint if you're stuck.
The receptionist at the desk isn't really a scene at all, it's just considered one by my code, future updates won't show the "!" on the map. In the coming update events will also remain for longer on the map but only play once if you have visited the location. This should cut down on both the repetition and annoyance of having the characters unavailable.
The idea of decipherable dialogue is neat, but I think I'd prefer to spend the time just adding more text variations instead. I already have it set up so that each scene can have several dialogue levels and adding more isn't too difficult. As more scenes and variations are added to the overall pool, repetition will go down.
I would appreciate that as I can't seem to get the sphinx puzzles down for the life of me. I've played through a second time, doing much better and getting a couple more lewd scenes. I could have sworn I had it right but it didn't work out, so I'll have to try a different combination next run.
On the topic of lewd scenes, are there only oral scenes currently? If so, do you plan to expand to more types of scenes? If not, I guess I should do better at minesweeping and see them myself.
That works too. If less scene repeats are planned for the future, that's still progress. As long as it doesn't impede in the scenes most people came to see, I'm all for it. Best of luck!
You've probably already seen all the sexual content this version has to offer. More scenes are coming soon for the current cast of characters as well as a couple of new ones a little later into the future. I plan to steadily add a few new sexual encounters to the game with every major update.
You'll have an easier time figuring out what you've done wrong in Sphinx puzzles in the coming patch. The game will list the changes done to each tile, so you'll be able to count exactly how many candles you've lit or which pillars are activated without revisiting all the previous locations.
I'll keep an eye on how much trouble players are having with my puzzles. They're a large part of all of the games I made so far, but I understand that unlike a more physical or tactical challenge, they can become very frustrating if they just don't click with the player. Hint systems for cases where puzzles bar game progress are probably a must.
It's extremely annoying that you can't pull up the quest log, I keep forgetting what I should be doing after running around for several minutes.
The pirate Sphinx puzzle doesn't make any sense to me, it says to light up one candle for each of them yet there's plenty of ways to interpret that. It says that they started as six, okay so we light up six candles, wait no three left, okay 3 then, no one more joined, okay so that's 4? Wait no they doubled so that's 8 candles then, but no... Fuck it is it 12? I still don't know. I solved the color puzzle with ease for comparison.
And what about the zombie one? Once I've uncovered the entire map there's nothing left to dig up, there are no pots, there's only monkeys and rabbits that sell matches and other ways to make matches, and there's two fucking Sphinxes that contradict each other. All in all, the light candle puzzles are cancer. Sexy sphinx though, some interaction with that'd be cool.
Also a few of the maps you just go back and forth 23 times to wait for their attacks to refresh so you can get rid of a mine just to find the last chest, which often ends up in one or more days being spent for nothing.
Otherwise, it's a fun little game with minor hentai content, not much to do though since there's nothing you can do with the money and there is no interaction with the scenes. Also it gets a bit repetitive watching the same scene 1000 times wasting turns hoping there's gonna be something new.
Definitely agree with keeping the quest conditions visible in game view somewhere, I'll add that in. An option to abandon an active quest will also be added in the future for those who get stuck.
I realize that the sphinx puzzles are not something for everyone and once more quests are added in they will go into their own separate quest branch.
Scene repetition is something that's being worked on. The progression will be a bit more clear in the upcoming patch and individual events will only be viewable once before the scene ends.
Thank you for the review, detailed critique helps me improve my content.
Great game so far hope you continue to make this. I hope you add a way to tell what level the scenes are at one day as i had them all reset before when i had only 3 days left
You mean the character events? They do intentionally partially reset after some of the more lewd encounters and river baths. They ramp back up fairly quickly afterwards. The exact balance is not great at the moment, it's something I'll try to adjust in the future.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The next update is already in the works.
I'm a bit stuck on the sphynx puzzle. I've read the riddle, and I've seen that there are 3 red and 3 blue pillars, and from what I ca tell my solution makes sense? Can't seem figure out what I'm doing wrong. Interesting concept though! Well done!

No offense but the tutorial for this game is horrible. You should make the player do the actions to learn what they actually do instead of dumping 6 boxes of text in hard to read font with no context for what they actually mean
Other than that I'm enjoying it. The obscured dialogue is a great idea
Yea, the tutorial is not that great. I might see if there's a way to improve it before the final version is published.
That would be good, the game is fun when you know what you're doing. Is there a place to see all the H-scenes outside of the game? I'm too lazy to play through multiple times, lol
You can probably extract the assets or find a full save for the gallery somewhere. They'll look slightly different since the game uses a subtle filter effect to blend them better.
this game really hit me hard I hope the next update comes faster than ram fucking everyone xD
I'm glad you had fun! Updates get posted on the second Friday of each month.
game crashed one time and since then every time i launch and press new game or continue i get a blue screen :(
I have never had something like this reported before. Blue screen in the sense of the Windows OS itself locking up?
Is this something you have experienced with other games or applications? It could be a hardware problem or some sort of mismatch to Unity's internal rendering structure.
Most likely case for it not going further than the title screen would be a save data corruption. You could try to manually delete your save files in case that's what's causing the issue. They can be found in C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\LocalLow\Impy\Sweeper\
I however recommend avoiding running this game on any device that had such an issue. This sounds like a serious problem and I don't want to put your computer at risk.
that seemed to do the trick i was looking for that corrupt save for the longest. first time ive ever had that problem with my computer but some things are more important then my computers safety
Nice that you're making more updates to this game. There's a good amount to play and see here and the art is nice as always. There's also good variety in the characters and the events with them are a nice touch.
Thank you for playing! I'm slowly getting ready to finish this one. There's still lots more I want to add before I call it done, but I do plan to have a finalized version ready before the next February game jam. It's been very fun making this into a full-sized game after the last one.
a major issue i have with the game is that even though it's called minesweeper, it's incredibly confusing to navigate, you need to solve missions in each one under a certain amount of turns, which for minesweeper IS A BIG issue because you need to think on it, and most importantly of all the fact you HAVE to move in 4 directions and you CANNOT go more then one square at a time which causes the whole thing to become a mess, i couldn't even clear the first mission because it gives NO context as to how to even solve it's puzzle in the time limit or what your even supposed to be doing, that and the fact the special abilities take into account, and the fact YOUR PARTY MEMBERS move all over the place and you'll have to get LUCKY with if their close enough to give you time for the mission
Eight directional movement is possible and there's no big penalties in taking multiple days to complete a mission. It's impossible to do every possible quest in a single playthrough, so play the game at your own pace. There will be unlockable boosters to help you after finishing the game at least once.
Great game with a lot of potential. It's nice to know that there is a developer in the world with the same fetishes as me. If I may, I'd like to voice my thoughts on what content could be added to the game.
1. More options for Percy's interactions with Ram, Abigail, and Ooli, especially when cross-dressing (and more sex scenes, of course)
2. The possibility of not only eavesdropping on the co-partners, but also peeking at them, you can also implement a catch/no-catch system along the lines of a skill check minigame.
3). More branched out system of NTR, for example: hidden NTR with no information, hidden NTR but companions are aware of it and pander to the main character, open NTR with full depravity, you get the idea))))
4. More interactions between the main character and the girls in the crossdressing phase, such as adding light (or not quite light) femdom with all its consequences.
5. And of course the further development of the story, with the addition of new characters and new plot twists.
Please forgive me my impudence, maybe I'm asking too much from you, but your game is really worth continuing to develop it. Of all the games you've created, this one has a higher level of quality and potential for further development. I think you will please all players by continuing to develop this project. On my behalf, I wish you success in your hard work.
(Also sorry for the errors in the message, English is not my native language, had to use a translator)
Thank you I really appreciate the feedback. I'm happy that you liked it!
1. There's 5 new events added for the crossdressing route in v7, more to come!
2. Not too sure about that one, but peeping from Percy's perspective might appear at some point. There are some "half-wall" locations coming in v7 where Percy will get to see a fraction of what's going on and talk from the other side.
3. That's sort of in the works. The crossdressing and shared sex routes that have been added over the past couple of updates already go in that direction. I eventually want to add some varied endings to those branches as well.
4. That might happen.
5. Probably no major new characters at this point. I will be adding many more scenes and interactions for the current cast. I'm planning to continue development until January before moving on to a new project. I do want to expand the story however.
what problem do these people have? mad at an inoffensive game? lol!
If it's not your fetish just move on.
Anyway great game bro, I spent a lot of hours on it and I'm waiting for the next updates, and I wish if you can put other colors in the description fonts in-game, at least in my view it is quite difficult to read.
(and sorry for the bad english, I'm brazilian)
I'm happy to hear that my game is fun enough for you to dedicate hours of playtime to! Thank you!
For the font colors being difficult to read, do you mean the text font that describes the contents of a tile?
Exactly
I'll see what I can do for the October public release.
Really like this update, so much content to find! Great art for all the new scenes and I love being able to date Miwi! Ooldra's also the most adorable troll ever. I can't seem to find the other new character though, are they in a specific mission? Great work though, as always, looking forward to version 6!
It's just one quest and a couple of minor events for the goblin girl for now. There's an ending scene in the "Soup to go" quest that introduces her and unlocks her first quest. I currently plan to expand her story in v7 and v8. Oolie already got a decent bit of content in v6, but I expect she will get more in upcoming patches too, she's definitely been quite popular since her introduction.
I can only imagine this game was either made by the most weak willed loser man in the world. Or some pathetic woman that thinks that a man she sleeps around on should still love her despite her being a whore that has no redeeming qualities.
Either way its bad
LOL. You're so mad. Imagine getting so salty for no reason. Btw, you deliberately went out of your way to hunt down this page so everything you wrote says way more about you than anyone else. Good luck coping.
It's been 28 days. Subscribestar customer support is useless. Every single card I tried gets declined. Can I not just pay you $10 through cashapp or amazon gift for a download link of version 0.6 when you release it in a few days?
I'm very sorry for the trouble, but I would rather avoid direct payments of that kind. Forgive me for being frustrating about this, but I want to keep the support system simple. It's unfortunate that not everyone can participate, but I have faith that more payment options will become available through Subscribestar in the future. I will always keep my games free and available to all, the release delay is meant to simply provide a slight bonus for those who wish to openly support my work.
Hello, big NTR fan here, recently found your game, and its pretty good, much potential! can't wait to seen updates :)
Thank you! I expect to continue posting monthly updates until next year and make more NTR themed games in the future.
could you make a 32 bit windows version of this game? i would really appreciate it, because i love the art style and it annoys me that i cant play it.
Added Win32 build, hope it works for you.
Luckily, I still had the project files for v4. I usually only keep a backup of the second most recent version.
I've been trying to sign up to your $5 subsribestar for 2 days now but it constantly says card declined (even after trying 5 different cards). And I know of at least a dozen others who have been having the exact same issue. Is there any other way in which I (and others facing the same issue) can pay you to get early access to v5?
One of my subscribers reported that a pre-paid Paygoo card worked after his other cards were rejected. You can also try contacting the SubscribeStar support team.
Unfortunately, paygoo seems to only be available in physical stores in norway and Scandinavia. I've already tried signing up to revolut's prepaid cards too but to no avail.
I've tried contacting support but I'm not hopeful.
I've already given up. I guess it just isn't in my destiny. I'll wait until public release next month.
Hello a substar sub here, and just wondering if you guys have a discord or anything that I can going, I loved the game a lot and am looking forward to it. One thing I wish you could add was like a bonus skill for like 30 stars or whatever, that you can listen to the full conversations of all the voyeur events, because I really wish I could read them! I love the text in this game even though there's barely any so far, really hoope to read more dialogue in the updates to come. It's such a wonderful game that hits all the points that I love and wonderfully weaves the ludonartive experience of mixing the h content with the gameplay, Thanks again for devin Impy!!
No discord, I prefer to keep my presence limited, so I don't get too sidetracked with community management. I monitor Itch and SubscribeStar for comments if you want to talk to me directly. F95 seems like a good place to discuss the game with others, the thread there is quite active.
The voyeur event dialogue is something I plan to make a little more comprehensive in the near future. Enough words will be revealed for you to get the gist of the conversation, but I don't plan to reveal it completely.
Hello, Subscribestar refuses to take my card so I have no way to support you and/or get access to the newest version of the game,
I have seen that some others are having the same issues, is there any way for you to make a payment option for that here on Itch.Io like selling newest release individually as I have seen some do?
Unfortunately I don't have plans to use other platforms at this time. All content will always become available for all players after 30 days or so.
that is a shame, I'd love to support the game, however that will be impossible thanks to subscribestar's fairly bad payment system it seems.

Any chance for a non futa version of oolie for people who arent into that
Futa events have been designed to be fully avoidable by never taking quests with Abigail in them. The "light the beacons" quest introduces her and unlocks optional encounters with Oolie in town, no sexual encounters will take place during her first quest. Beyond the standard NTR scenarios, the game gives you ample hints about the type of content you're getting yourself into by continuing down a particular path, but there are no plans to add options to disable certain types of content.
Show post...
I know but the idea of a muscle girl who actually like percy is appealing, and shes the only one of her kind. So to gate her behind futa is pretty disappointing
I really like your game, keep up the good work, it would be nice if the girls could get frisky with one another or temporary fura spells or potions.
There's currently a shared bath scene with Espa and Fio as well as a few events with multiple girls in them, but the only futa character in the game is Abigial as of v4. Abigail's ending, which is text only at this time, features futa transformations in it and I do plan to add a nice illustration to go with the story text in the future.
What a unique game. If you ask me, this has been done very well in the spirit of a 'lewd minesweeper'. The NTR is pretty good too.
Thank you! There's an update coming out in two days if you're interested in exploring more of it.
Most certainly. Keep up the good work. Your art style is pretty comfy.
This game tota;ly rocks! Can't wait for future updates!
Would be rad to see some kind of ending where MC gets killed off so the chicks can get some dick, if that isn't already a thing.
They seem to be getting dick just fine already, just need more event variety. I plan to keep a bittersweet but lighthearted tone for the endings.
Fair enough my man, keep up the killer work
Thank you, I will! I'm glad you liked it!
Wish you had a twitter or something else i could follow
Love the concept but i dunno if it is NTR since the girls and Percy don't seem to be in an actual relationship lol
In the upcoming public release you'll get to interact with the girls and take them out on dates. Some of the cast will also have their own special endings.
I try to keep my social media presence limited, so it doesn't end up draining too much of my development time. It also gives me the chance to reply to more of the comments on the platforms where I'm active.
Alright nice
Also it'd be great if you could somehow extend the time you spend in the guild/inn since it was cool seeing scenes happen there, specially with the green haired goddess but it was SUPER frustrating having to guess where they'll happen and even more frustrating trying to move to a square with the ! icon only to find out the scene ended
I'll give it some thought. The simplest way might be to add a new start of game booster that lengthens the guild time for those who want it. I'll consider extending the default time too.
The mac version doesn't seem to work, many of the characters do not show up in the dialogues.
I don't really have a way to test Mac versions, there is however an attached document that lists a couple of solutions. I remember only one dialogue sequence being broken in v3, everything else should show up fine. Which specific ones are you having a problem with?
Pretty much everything for me
I read on ULMF that Percy will eventually have content. Is that true and how much content will he have as the MC?
All depends on what my subscribers want me to focus on. I would like to eventually add some of the following:
-Percy with the girls (foreplay and teasing type events similar to the shared bath scene in v4)
-Percy sharing the girls with Ram or Abigail (leading to endings where Percy's not oblivious)
-Percy with the futa troll girl (new minor character with some content already planned for v5)
-Crossdressing Percy with Ram in an NTR reversal scenario (I wanted this since the first version, but I'll see how my subscribers feel. It might be something extensive or it might just be a hidden joke ending sort of thing)
Yep, that's what's in the plans. NTR haters would never even open the game regardless of how much non-NTR content there is, so I don't see much of a reason to have much of it at all.
Back at it again at silver, biggest public update yet and it's hecking good! Enjoyed all the new scenes (that I've found so far) and the new character, loved the small polish all around especially with Cetra having some small dialogues with the rest of the team. Quality of life improvements are great, I really like the icons for tile interactables and the screen showing the ability cooldowns.
I'm looking forward to V4! Keep it up!
In all honesty I think the interactive tile icons were probably my best idea in this update. I can't imagine going back to a game with no icons or cooldowns trackers. I'm happy that you liked the new content!
I had a lot more fun playing a minesweeper-type game than I would have ever expected! Love the game and its content. Can't wait for the 'juicer' bits in the future! I would have gladly donated and got the newest version, but my card gets rejected by subscribestar :(.
Thank you! There's more to come, so drop by again. All of my content will always become publicly available in the end, so don't worry about missing out, it's only for a little while.
How do I get to the NSFW scenes?? I played the whole thing twice and found nothing, Ram just talks to them :(
Sorry for the trouble, scene progression can be quite random at times. I plan to add options to speed the advancement towards lewd content in the future. The update that's coming on the 11th will introduce a secondary rival and greatly increase the likelihood of events happening in the guild, so the odds of going through the game without seeing any erotic content at all will be fairly slim.
I never liked minesweeper, but you made this game into a porn minesweeper-riddle puzzle and that's pretty darn cool to me. I just finished my first play through; I was lucky enough to witness one fellatio scene from one of the girls, but it happened at the very end of the time limit, darn.
I had to take 2 days to finish all the quests I took, I don't know exactly how to escalate to the lewd scenes but even outside of that, I enjoy the actual game.
Love the girls and I can't wait for the next update. Only two suggestions I could make is longer summer time and act with the Sphinx to make the whole riddle 'pop out' onto the game screen. I ended up messing up because I didn't realize I had to scroll down for the bandit riddle lol.
1-2 days is the expected time for most quests. The game is deliberately designed for multiple playthroughs. Another public update is scheduled for release in 12 days, so you might want to wait before playing through the game again. The upcoming update introduces unlockable upgrades that will make it easier to complete the quests in one day.
Thank you for checking out my game, I'm glad you liked it!
i am having a problem downlowding it in the itch.io app how do i download it
Not too sure about other systems, but on most browsers in Windows you should just be able to click on the download buttons. I don't have a phone compatible version at this time.
If you're still wondering about itch.io app compatibility, the downloads aren't labeled in itch. Compare it to Psychic Archeology Agency (your other game)
Those symbols help itch.io app download and install the right version internally. I can't download Summer Sweepers (or any other game) with the app without those symbols.
Thank you, I totally missed it!
Should be working correctly now.
Just tested it, it works.
Got yourself a subscriber tomorrow!
Yes, I feel that this game is turning up great. The puzzles feel enjoyable and level objectives have a good bit of variety. I also love the characters and their interactions between each other. It's nice to see you updating this game, that already has good polish.
I will be posting updates for the next few months at the very least, there's still lots I want to add and improve upon. Thank you for playing through the new content, I really appreciate it!
Version 2 is looking great! I've already played through it twice, both times having a rough early start, but I have managed to see one of the new lewd events.
If possible, can I get a hint as to how to find or who is part of the other event? The one I've already seen is the one without Ram.
Speaking of Ram, man did he love running away from whoever I was trying to get him together with. I don't know if the AI was just giving me unlucky rolls or if it's been changed to start events if Percy is further away.
I've also been trying to figure out if one change was intentional or not. Since events end the turn that you see them, if you view one event while another one is going on with two other characters simultaneously, you have to choose which one to view and which one to give up.
Very much looking forward to playing version 3!
The two events in this version can only happen in hidden rivers. One require Espa and Fio and the other needs Ram, Espa and Fio. Both girls need to be quite accustomed to Ram's advances for the 3 character event to take place, so it usually happens in later quests. The Tiny Island mission was added in to make the new events more likely to happen, so it's the best place to see them.
When choosing a tile to go to, characters prefer darkened tiles where events can happen. So having them near a cluster of such tiles will often keep them in that area. It is all RNG based however.
I have rewritten chunks of the code for handling events several times now, so I don't fully remember how it was in V2, but in V3 only the event you have seen ends on the next turn and not any other ones around the map.
Thank you for playing!
Well, after playing another run through, I didn't get the event you were describing. I actually got a different event. During the third quest with Miwi, I ended up finding her and Ram together. Didn't know if that was intended or if you were excluding side character events with the new event count.
I figured, but I thought asking anyways would clear everything up. I guess Ram just felt like taking his sweet time. Me and my luck with RNG, am I right?
That's really helpful to know. I'm sure I'll be playing version 3 as soon as possible whether that's the public release or if I get to a point where I can comfortably support the game.
Looking forward to finding that other river scene and getting further with Miwi, Cetra, and the other side characters that will eventually be added in.
Don't worry about finding everything right away with each release, all of the events will be available in future versions too.
Been excited for version 2 since it was announced and the quality of life improvements are really helpful! Much easier to get quests done and see scenes in one day or two until you get to later quests. I'm pretty sure I found both new scenes as well, turning a tile feature that I disliked into something I'm excited to get is fantastic.
Are you thinking about having a Patreon as well? I'd love to give support for this game!
Still one of the best horny games on itch
I have a SubscribeStar account. I don't think I would last on Patreon with their heavy-handed approach to creators. I'm really happy to hear that you liked V2! Drop in next month for minesweeper boss battles.
A suggestion so folks can get more of them sweet sweet sexy scenes. Maybe add more to the turn timer? like 100 maybe 125?
ALso i keep seeing the desk lady getting a ! and trying to get to her, but I keep having troubles, any suggestions?
Oh and i can't seem to see the wait in place button. Not sure if thats been implemented.
Also sorry for editing more, but you thinking of having other erotic options? Like Maybe some bandits? or if your daring, the animal merchants XD
Yes the long awaited wait button is coming on May 7th along with a bunch of other features. The event you're seeing with the receptionist is most likely the dummy event that places her on the other end of the counter, it wont show up on the map in the version 2 update.
The turn timer has been cranked up in many of the new quests. The development of the game is oriented around replayability, so I'm not as scared of events not being seen in a single game as I am of scene repetition. There will be more erotic options in the future as new love interests and rivals get added to the game. The types of characters are voted on by my supporters, but I don't think that the animal traders would win too many votes...
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the response! And sounds great! can't wait to play the next update in May! Keep up the good work, and its fine I was just being a perv, and suggestion something really out there.(Monsters still might be a good idea though. unless your adding some monster "rivals")
I honestly just kind feel like Percy is just Asexual, doesn't really seem to bothered. But getting him laid would be fun XD
Oh! maybe toss a futa in there if folks want it!
Maybe a cute femboy/trap?
You probably already have oceans of ideas so i should really stop.
And do you do you're own art? Cause the sprite and everything are adorable.
Stay safe! and keep up the great work!
Ideas are always welcome, post as many as you like. It's always good to get a sense of the content players want to see added.
A futa character is already in the process of being added for version 3. I do like traps, but I would need some inspiration on how to incorporate a character like that into the game in a way that makes sense. Maybe in a future project. You can also give my other game a try, it features both futa and trap characters in it.
Percy's knowledge and opinions on what his teammates are up to are deliberately ambiguous. It allows players to mentally choose a scenario that they prefer.
The only resources I rely on are the music tracks. All of the art, code and other assets are my own work. I'm happy to hear that you like the sprites, thank you!
Hmmmm could just have him function like Espa and be a climb/dex helper. Oh maybe have them be able to pick Locked chests as well! You might already have a spot for that but felt like making the suggestion. Hell could make the joke that its Espa's twin brother XD.
I was looking at that imp game, ill have to give it a shot!
Oh I had a fun idea! What if you could make Precy the trap?
Percy in a dress stealing Ram from the girls is actually something I had on my mind as a joke ending for a while now.
This could actually become one of the greatest eroge of all time! Summer Sweepers is representative of the direction all lewd games should be taking: simple, fun gameplay that meaningfully ties to the cute and digestible interactions between characters. Not to mention it's entirely NTR!! It's a small game currently, but it already does so many little things right that I don't even feel like going through them all. I think my favorite emergent detail is the feeling of seeing characters organically decide to disobey my orders to go frolic with each other behind my back.<3
I really can't overstate how great of a framework this is. Please continue working on it, and feel free to play it even in this early state if you're thinking about giving it a try!
Thank you, I am very grateful for your words of support!
I played one too many NTR games where the lewd content was linked with losing the game, which somewhat ruins the core concept of the kink for me. The player should want to succeed and be rewarded for succeeding, but not directly with more erotic content because that too ruins the spirit of NTR. I set out to make a game where the sexual events would be integrated in a non-linear way parallel to the core game. I wanted fun gameplay with the erotica as a side-show that the player somewhat feels in control of, but is ultimately powerless to suppress.
I am making new content every week and updates to the game are well on their way. Last week's work included the addition of a new rival character and boss battles. I'm delighted to hear that you liked the game, that is absolutely the main reason I choose to work on such projects 💗
I'd like to preface my comment with a few things. I am a very bad minesweeper player. My success with puzzles is very inconsistent. All that being said, I think this game is very well put together at a fundamental level. It works well enough to get me invested for more than one run which is saying something. I even got to see a couple of the more lewd scenes so it's pretty accessible. I enjoy the art and layout of the game itself. I can't say this game is built poorly in the slightest.
The only complaints I have are either minor issues or quality of life issues, both can be sorted out in time. It's already been stated and noted, but I do have to mention that the objective clarity and sphinx puzzles could use a bit of touching up. I'd also personally like to see a bit more clarity for scenes that happen in the span of 1-2 turns, like the receptionist in the hotel. I didn't get to see that one happen at all. Maybe that's a fault of mine for not having very good predictive timing, but my point still stands.
As an aside, I'd also really like to see a change to the current dialogue. Some scenes are going to be repeated. That's just how the game works. I'd like it if the more those repeat scenes are viewed, the more of the dialogue you decipher, like changing the scribbles to actual script. That would make them more interesting in my opinion. I'm no game dev, so I couldn't exactly say whether or not that's a viable option. My guess is that you'd have to run a condition check that says something along the lines of, "if 'scene' has been viewed X or more times, change dialogue lines to..."
All in all, I'm happy with the game and hopeful for more positive progress in the upcoming updates! Best of luck to the dev(s)!
Thank you, I'm very happy to hear that you have enjoyed it. I have been considering adding an ability to send a teammate to the sphinx puzzles to figure out the solution for you or at least give you a hint if you're stuck.
The receptionist at the desk isn't really a scene at all, it's just considered one by my code, future updates won't show the "!" on the map. In the coming update events will also remain for longer on the map but only play once if you have visited the location. This should cut down on both the repetition and annoyance of having the characters unavailable.
The idea of decipherable dialogue is neat, but I think I'd prefer to spend the time just adding more text variations instead. I already have it set up so that each scene can have several dialogue levels and adding more isn't too difficult. As more scenes and variations are added to the overall pool, repetition will go down.
I would appreciate that as I can't seem to get the sphinx puzzles down for the life of me. I've played through a second time, doing much better and getting a couple more lewd scenes. I could have sworn I had it right but it didn't work out, so I'll have to try a different combination next run.
On the topic of lewd scenes, are there only oral scenes currently? If so, do you plan to expand to more types of scenes? If not, I guess I should do better at minesweeping and see them myself.
That works too. If less scene repeats are planned for the future, that's still progress. As long as it doesn't impede in the scenes most people came to see, I'm all for it. Best of luck!
You've probably already seen all the sexual content this version has to offer. More scenes are coming soon for the current cast of characters as well as a couple of new ones a little later into the future. I plan to steadily add a few new sexual encounters to the game with every major update.
You'll have an easier time figuring out what you've done wrong in Sphinx puzzles in the coming patch. The game will list the changes done to each tile, so you'll be able to count exactly how many candles you've lit or which pillars are activated without revisiting all the previous locations.
I'll keep an eye on how much trouble players are having with my puzzles. They're a large part of all of the games I made so far, but I understand that unlike a more physical or tactical challenge, they can become very frustrating if they just don't click with the player. Hint systems for cases where puzzles bar game progress are probably a must.
It's extremely annoying that you can't pull up the quest log, I keep forgetting what I should be doing after running around for several minutes.
The pirate Sphinx puzzle doesn't make any sense to me, it says to light up one candle for each of them yet there's plenty of ways to interpret that. It says that they started as six, okay so we light up six candles, wait no three left, okay 3 then, no one more joined, okay so that's 4? Wait no they doubled so that's 8 candles then, but no... Fuck it is it 12? I still don't know. I solved the color puzzle with ease for comparison.
And what about the zombie one? Once I've uncovered the entire map there's nothing left to dig up, there are no pots, there's only monkeys and rabbits that sell matches and other ways to make matches, and there's two fucking Sphinxes that contradict each other. All in all, the light candle puzzles are cancer. Sexy sphinx though, some interaction with that'd be cool.
Also a few of the maps you just go back and forth 23 times to wait for their attacks to refresh so you can get rid of a mine just to find the last chest, which often ends up in one or more days being spent for nothing.
Otherwise, it's a fun little game with minor hentai content, not much to do though since there's nothing you can do with the money and there is no interaction with the scenes. Also it gets a bit repetitive watching the same scene 1000 times wasting turns hoping there's gonna be something new.
Definitely agree with keeping the quest conditions visible in game view somewhere, I'll add that in. An option to abandon an active quest will also be added in the future for those who get stuck.
I realize that the sphinx puzzles are not something for everyone and once more quests are added in they will go into their own separate quest branch.
Scene repetition is something that's being worked on. The progression will be a bit more clear in the upcoming patch and individual events will only be viewable once before the scene ends.
Thank you for the review, detailed critique helps me improve my content.
Great game so far hope you continue to make this. I hope you add a way to tell what level the scenes are at one day as i had them all reset before when i had only 3 days left
You mean the character events? They do intentionally partially reset after some of the more lewd encounters and river baths. They ramp back up fairly quickly afterwards. The exact balance is not great at the moment, it's something I'll try to adjust in the future.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The next update is already in the works.
I'm a bit stuck on the sphynx puzzle. I've read the riddle, and I've seen that there are 3 red and 3 blue pillars, and from what I ca tell my solution makes sense? Can't seem figure out what I'm doing wrong. Interesting concept though! Well done!
Exactly two blue and one red pillar glowing is the solution, the rest should remain empty.
To finish the puzzle head back to the Sphinx and the option Act->Solve should become available.
