Gaijin Troubles
It’s awesome. It has really great, beautiful graphics, cute characters and really fun gameplay. I also absolutely love the soundtrack. especially the music that plays when you’re out and about just walking around. I love this game so much. So much that i did a speedrun of it! The game is a little laggy though, but it’s most likely my PC lol I’ll admit though, the lag actually allowed me to clip through some things in my speedrun :)

I mean, it’s tremendously flawed with poor hit detection, troublesome camera, unwieldy fighting system … but it’s still kind of fun in a dumb way, primarily because it’s schoolgirls. Check it out if it’s on sale, you’ll have some fun with it.

Honey Rose: Underdog Fighter Extraordinaire
Well… kind of.
I’d like to get in a long review and explain point by point, but what I really wanna do is to get people to play this and the dev taking into account what I feel was literally a bad idea. The game DESERVES to be played, as it is really cute and funny, but there are things inexplicably flawed in the design. I hope subsequent versions or even successive games will stray away from these things, as they really hinder the fun of the core game.
Pro:
- it’s a nice change of pace from the standard VN, it feels more like a sort of long campaign of Punch-out sometimes ahah, or even some kind of Streets of Rage: Teen Story Edition… well you get the drift. The action part is funny.

This game is a visual novel with beat ‘em up game play. Their are 6 total stats you are trying to balance, 3 classes and 3 fighting stats. You can only choose to do one thing per day from a decent amount of options. The fighting is enjoyable and all moves are available from the start, you just need to know how to do them. I liked the story and characters, nothing too disappointing/impressive.
The fighting can become tedious with the amount of times people pick fights with you. Sometimes it feels like events are too random and make it feel like the player has very little control over what happens (e.g. getting sick right before an exam, getting caught out of class when you try to meet up with your friends). The actual randomness would be less than issue if the main character acknowledged that the events where not in their control, but instead the other characters just act like my stats didn’t meet the required threshold.

Sleepy Sunday
Welcome to your Happiest Nightmare!
Fight your way through hordes of powerful enemies in this colorful action-packed 2D roguelike!
Escort Nicky, your annoying but trusty companion as you venture your way through a dangerous but charming dream-like world so you can both escape it!
Die & Retry
Nobody said leaving would be easy. Old friends and new rivals will do their best to stop you from doing so, making your trip quite challenging. Your opponents may also change from a run to another, so don’t count on getting used to them! You will probably die. A lot. But who knows, with a bit of luck and experience, you’ll probably reach your goal at some point, right?
Gather Companions
Why go solo, when you can count on your friends to give you a helping hand? Find companions on your way, and have them join your team! When you’re not fighting your way through the dream lands, why not talk with them, and get to know them better? They probably have some stories to tell, too!
Various Weapons
Not only you can count on your trusty baseball bat to help you through, but you might even find a cool alternative with new original weapons such as a baseball bat, a laser gun and a… Yoyo?
Friendly Baddies
Even though you may exchange a few punches with your enemies, it doesn’t mean you guys can’t become friends. Have a few words with them when not fighting, and you may become best buddies! Maybe even more… Who knows?
Get Trendy
Even though you’ll probably die a lot, don’t expect your efforts to be in vain. Unlock upgrades and original attires in shops and express yourself with cool combinations of clothes and masks!
Sleepy Sunday’s wacky world is waiting for you! Brace yourself, it’s about to get tough!

A neat endless beat ‘em up with a little bit of mobile rhythm game DNA that wears its influences on its sleeve.
It’s a little buggy in places, but that’s easy to forgive considering this is the developer’s first game and the pricetag.

ココロクローバー パート2/Kokoro Clover Part2
This game got me surprised, is quite cute and fun. The way that the dev made it as if it’s some sort of Sunday morning anime is interesting and different. We also can see the passion he put in doing this, since I imagine is quite difficult for the short staff that appears on the credits, it make me want to support them.
In a way, it’s a quite simple side scroller, no difficult controls or mechanics, is quite easy and there’s a option to just skip and keep watching the story. The focus on this is the story, like a episode of the anime, even the stages are named after anime episodes and play like anime episodes, there’s much more story on each episode than game stages. So be warned, buy only if you are interested in reading and watching the story, if you’re thinking of that, it’s worth of the full price.

NO REVIEWS?! Ok, let’s remedy that pronto.
The short version: Casual platformer featuring a “Sunday Morning Anime” style. Simple controls, simple story, catchy music, cute art. Now featuring greater length than its “Part 1”. It is essentially what follows immediately after Kokoro Cover Part 1. No noticeable flaws, except for the length, this is an Indie game made by a 3-4 person team, so they are taking their time. Ideal game for that afternoon when you don’t know what to play, or as palate cleanser after a more serious/meaty game like Monster Boy, Shantae, or Owlboy. English language (cutscene subtitles) are to come on a later patch.

ココロクローバー パート１/Kokoro Clover Part1
I do really like it. I am a beginner in Japanese. I do wish that the words were separated. This would help me know when words start and end. I can read hiragana but I dont know what they mean in English. So having words separated and having Particles in a different color would help too. But I dont know if this game is for people that know Japanese already. Anyway cute game. I will keep playing it and trying to translate it.
These are the words I tried to translate myself. haha Its from the story.

First, know that this game is only the 1st chapter. In a sense, a Demo/tutorial.
Now, the short version:
A pixel art platformer made in the vibe of a true Sunday Morning Anime. It is what it says on the tin. For casual players, those who have never played a platformer, and those afflicted by bad case of nostalgia. The game is fun, not hard, colourful, with good music, and simple gameplay. Being the Demo/Tutorial, promotion piece it is, it has some simple, but bearable flaws. However, they do not hinder the experience. Ideal as a ‘palate cleanser’ after more hardcore games like Ori, Hollow Knight, or the Gunvolt series. Main drawback for many would be that it is entirely in Japanese, with only English subtitles on the cutscenes. Still worth playing.
