I'm guessing this is in EA at the moment.

It's a match 3 game that looks like the ero version of Candy Crush. The mechanics are really well done and the game feels solid. Although the game runs like ass at the moment. Was running good in FireFox the first time I launched it but then it would not load. Tried it in Crome only to find it's laggy AF.

The match 3 has pretty much any gimmick you can think of. Around level 10 they were throwing me those annoying wall blocks into the mix, likely an attempt to get people to buy cash shop cheats.

The artwork is live 2D and looks fairly standard. Each girl seems to have several pictures that can be unlocked in various ways (breaking a certain amount of a block or collecting loot drops, etc).

It was fine until about level 20, when it runs hard into the "buy memory slots for the pictures you're unlocking" issue that all of these games do.

At least you can buy those slots with regular currency. Compared to replaying levels, you have to pay premium currency to be able to replay them. Yes, you read that correct. I played several stages twice almost a week ago and they're still locked for me. Unless they plan to change it when actually released, this has to be one of the worst mechanics I've seen in any game and no surprise it's another western game.

I'm a fan for the most part, so far. A lot of it is a rip off of Booty Calls (when dealing with powering up the girls and other things), but you could emulate worse games. The worst part, by far, is the lack of storage for the pictures. The artwork and girls are beautiful, but you get like 10 pictures. Yes, you can buy with coins, but it's a lot of coins. In BC, you can get money just by talking to the girls or clicking on locations, but there's no options here. Additionally, BC lets you earn gems with tasks, and I haven't found any way to get gems in this game yet. Need to give more ways to unlock photos or I'm going to burn out of this one quick, despite the positives.

We have heard you and cut the price for memory in half, and you can now play each level 5 times before it is locked. The reason for the level locking is because the levels are all pretty different, and we didn't want people to just find the one really easy level and churn it. However, if it seems like 5 plays is still too low we will boost the number again.

This is live now on web and android, but for android you need to download the new apk.

We can't really recreate the performance problems you are talking about in chrome Arkinum, but it is a situation we are monitoring closely.

Your feedback is very important to us, and we are listening both here and in our discord channel.

You may need to download the new apk if you are playing on android. It is available on the nutaku website.

Couldn't you just put a cap that resets each day, rather then locking it after X times?

The answer is yes, but it will take a little time to implement a system like that.

Having trouble, the game refuses to load at all in Chrome no matter what I do.
I got it to work in Firefox for a while but after coming back a couple hours later the game just crashes the browser when trying to load it.

katsalia does it freeze with 2 hearts on the screen and a bar. Like it just never loads?

We are investigating a fix for that we hope to roll out by Wednesday.

If you press ctrl-shift-r a few times on that screen and clear your cache it seems to work for a lot of users.

I actually just got Chrome working, after sitting on the screen for a while it eventually popped up.
Although testing Firefox that one is still stuck. It loads up everything but then gets stuck on a black screen with the version number on the bottom right.

EDIT: Nevermind, after refreshing the page on Chrome it won't load again. It's stuck as you said, on the load screen with an empty bar with the hearts. After a few refreshes it started to work, but it got stuck on an endless loop on the unpacking data load screen.

Always curious how "easy" and "hard" levels are determined. Beat the "very hard" 46 in one try, and stuck endless on "easy" 47. Need way too many points on that level.

I like the new features though. Kudos.

katsalia
11-06-2018, 10:21 AM
Okay, I got the game to work consistently for now, so I have a couple issues.
The finite amount of drops seems like a bit of an issue, because if you do all your replays on the levels that drop a specific item, but then never got enough drops of that item for what you need, you're now locked out of it.
My other issue is kind of two things. I'm only on level 21 but the amount of times I've been put in "impossible" to win scenarios because of the block removal levels is a bit concerning. And because of that, I had a lot of the bonus items completely wasted since you get absolutely nothing if you fail to win a level, even if my score was high enough to yield rewards. Not much can really be done with the RNG on getting impossible to complete levels, but I feel like it's worth looking at not having someone's consumables actually wasted if they don't win the level after using them. As it stands now I have 0 incentive to use them because it's wasteful if I can't actually win.

Unregistered
11-06-2018, 11:46 AM
Yeah, the lack of necessary items is concerning. I keep collecting items that are only usable by girls I don't even have yet, but I haven't even collected enough to open the first two girls' second scene, and the third girl's first scene. This despite the fact I'm up to level 49. When you can't open these scenes, you can't even do any more quests for pictures, so the incentive is waning. And, speaking of 49, how is that an "easy" level?! Worst level in the game so far. Nowhere to move anything. I imagine it's standing as a road block to the next girl, but I wasted all my items and still can't beat it. Hopefully I'll get a lucky board soon.

Red Dahlia
11-07-2018, 12:53 AM
A lot of the items you need are probably located in the sex levels. It tells you which sex levels you can find each item on at the girl upgrade screen.

All the items you get from the main levels on the map drop on tons of different levels. You don't need to worry about grinding the levels to beat them 5 times.

Honestly the moment I found out it was doing the whole 'buy memory slots for photos' lark I didn't even bother booting it up

Red Dahlia
11-07-2018, 01:40 AM
We are reviewing that system, but the price of memory slots does not require gems and is much cheaper than similar games.

All I can say is this game is much more geared towards the casual non-spending user than many games on nutaku. You don't really hit paywalls and can play through the whole game for free.

Right now you get 16+ gems on startup and lots of opportunities to get more for free.

It's honestly not bad though. You only use gold to buy upgrades for yourself or buy memory slots, and the slots are (depending on how you spend your resources) easy enough to get with 2 puzzle wins worth of gold.

As a side note, I do have a question for Red Dahlia. Tiffany's 3rd scene requires 7 of stone tablet looking item. But it says "Found in ???". Is it impossible to do right now?

Would it be possible to get credit for pieces even if we don't beat a level? It's exhausting to continuously lose tough levels and make zero progress towards a 1500 piece picture requirement.

I don't know if this is already explained anywhere, but I just found out if you use a heart on a stripped gem or glass bomb it will turn all the gems of that color into more stripped/bomb gems. This really helps for getting the score to 3 star sex missions, at least the first ones.

I just found out if you complete a new sex level without an empty gallery space the game will just treat it like you never completed it. No option to buy a space, no new quests, you get nothing but the items you got for stars and gold.

There is no way I can find to buy gallery space without unlocking a new picture via quest, so this can potentially lock you out from advancing any of the girls.

That sounds like it might have been a one-time bug, unless they fixed it. I did a level just now with no space, but the game still prompted me to buy one.

EDIT: A side note as well, a really nice QoL change for the future would be, being able to see what rewards a date level can give AFTER you've used all your original attempts on it. Otherwise you wouldn't want to reset your attempts because you don't remember what drops in each level.

Agreed. I've spent at least 12 energy trying to beat this one level, but I'm either stuck with few too many moves or I still have one layer of rock to destroy to reach the bubble. :/ What I've been doing lately is just grinding past levels, since there aren't any transition scenes from when Brooke is unlocked onward, there doesn't seem to be a point in trying to move forward

Has anyone else found you do not recover energy when you aren't playing? I went out for almost 7 hours, logged back in, still 0 energy. I went and did something in another window for a few minutes, came back and the timer had not progressed. It seems like unless you have the HC window pen and as your active window you can not recover, so I guess if you want to recover you need to stare at your screen for an hour and a half.

I find this is true for me for most all the Nutaku games when playing in a tab. I circumvent this by just opening a second browser window to play the game in instead of using a tab. Ever since doing this none of the games ever pause on me anymore when I switch to the other window to browse. As for the issue of never regaining energy unless it's an active window, even when the game isn't loaded, I've never encountered that once and sounds like a random bug or a browser caching issue.

I may have just gotten really bad luck or something... but I've tried many times to do Audrey's 4th scene (even with power-ups) and it's seems almost impossible. The amount of bombs filling the board is too much at once, and after all these attempts I've yet to even make it to the bomb at the bottom of the board that's protected by all the blocks.

Agree with the above posters. The new events are absolutely horrid. Can't win without spending gems. Half the time, can't win while spending gems. Total cash plug, and good luck sticking to the main game when you've already beaten that part. Whoever's idea it was to keep the levels starting over should be removed from decision making roles forever. Chloe level 6 is the most horribly designed level in the history of Nutaku.

The Aubrey event was actually done well. It was challenging, but it was beatable with enough tries. Chloe's level 6 is physically impossible without spending gems or getting a once in a lifetime RNG. I've lost at least two dozen times, even while using extra moves sometimes. It was 100% created to make people spend money. Truly the most poorly designed level among the game's 300+ options. Combine that with the frustration of having to keep restarting 4 + 5 (which aren't easy either, especially 5), and it's pointless. Do better next time.

If anyone is new to this game, I highly recommend just playing the regular version and not these events. At least, skip the Chloe event, unless you're prepared to spend endless money on the game. The main game is fun enough, but the events are the most poorly done of any game I've ever played on Nutaku. Be prepared to play the same horribly designed levels over and over again because some genius thought it would be a good idea to make you restart every time you lose. Chloe's 4-6 are agonizing, and once you beat them, you have no chance of even passing 9, let alone 10 and 11. Your only hope is to have hundreds of gems and to keep buying extra moves. If you value your sanity, and your money, stay far far away from the Chloe event.

The new event system is much improved on the last, but the level design is absolutely piss poor again. I've lost on level ONE two out of three times so far. My RNG sucks, but you shouldn't be able to lose the first level. The first level one I faced last night was easy (as it should be), but I knew as soon as I saw the last two level ones that they were going to be nearly impossible. As someone who cruised through the first 300 levels of this game, I know what I'm doing. At this rate, I won't even get the first picture unlocked. Stop overcompensating your levels to try to get gems wasted.

Unfortunately, this game has become a complete waste of time since they started events. While most games on Nutaku create events for you to earn some special content and new images, HC's main goal with events is to make you waste your money, and provide no realistic way to win new content. It's become so bad that you can't even make small progress on their events. Their brilliant idea is to make you start over level wise, each time you lose, and they always make the final level impossible (even if it's just the first checkpoint). I've never really experienced anything like it on any other Nutaku game. Events are made so that games can provide you with new content so you keep playing something you've already mostly completed, but Honey Crush is determined to make everything absolutely impossible. The developers do listen, and they say they try to make things easier, but it never makes a difference. It's almost like they take pride in as little people beating things as possible. Really, really unfortunate turn for a game that was actually pretty fun during its original run. Can't recommend.

If anyone is into learning how to design levels in gaming, the Chloe event in Honey Crush is the perfect example of what NOT to do. I cannot put into words how awful the levels are designed in this. The devs have no interest in making the game playable. Avoid this game like the plague.

Last whole week I was just going back to the game to reset Tiffany search for money and items. It is b******** even to try play the levels after level 14, cause they are way too hard. You want a hard game, well you made it quite good. Not to mention the event maps or even the gauntlet. Guess I will just hoard coins for few weeks, then perhaps I will try to do something, when I will have a stash of all available items to use during campaign. Played honeypop when it came out. Now that was a good game design, it was chalenging but doable in time....here not so much.

Super disappointed that this game not only makes events unwinnable, but is now actually recycling old material. The new event is just using the same impossible levels from an old event. Guessing they made a lot of money because the only way to win the levels is by spending money. Stay far away.

How do you actually equip costumes? Gacha gave me one for Audrey but I can't find an option.

Go to where you switch girls and there will be arrows on the sides of their portrait that will swap between their outfits.

Just keep beating levels and they unlock. You can see where on the map you unlock them.

Hi, I have unlocked Riva with the 3 butterflies, but it is still showing that she is locked in the Girls screen. Do you know how this bug can be fixed?
