Love Rocket

Love the art and all the characters.  Gameplay is quite fun overall, and seeing clothes blown off is definitely a major kink that I don't see enough of.  Couple of small points I don't see mentioned below, though:

Small thing, but would really like a way to speed up the rewards section.  If you get 30 tickets (which I did one game), then you have to wait to process each one.  If you roll the 500 reward, you are left waiting there for probably about a minute as your money counts up one at a time, with now way to skip... and then it waits for you to click again to roll the next ticket.  Something to do all remaining tickets, or at least a way to skip the coins counting up, would be highly appreciated.

Other thing - Even though the attack patterns are different for each character, they are all quite similar.  It would be really cool if there were character specific mechanics.  The game is quite good as it is, though a tad repetitive - but I could see some added depth of, say, for some characters, your base stations other than missile launch stations actually do something (whether power a passive ability, or your opponent gets more powerful when they destroy some, etc).  Another could be areas that appear that you don't want to have missiles explode on, possibly spawning UFOs or similar when you do so.  Finally, having character specific missile types that are more distinctive would be really nice - say, ones that follow curved paths, or not all missiles are the same speed, or even a missile that requires more than one hit to destroy.

Still, like where you have gone with this game so far!  It is your game, so feel free to take it the direction you want.  All the characters are fun and charming, and the art is definitely a treat.

Not sure if this is the best place for this, but I had a bunch of feedback and I didn't know where else to put it so I apologize in advance for the length of this post:

Pros:

- Really enjoyed the game overall.

- Difficulty felt pretty manageable for me, though some of the later levels (especially bonus rounds) do get kinda long just waiting for enemy missiles to wander where you need them to go.

- If I recall correctly, the upgrades were simplified a lot from the demo and I think this was the right move. Progression seemed fair, though getting the 100 coin scratch ticket near the beginning of the game was definitely a gamechanger for me.

- Girls are for the most part diverse and unique, with discernable and interesting personalities. I ended up liking some of them much more than I thought I would. I also appreciate the choice of BGM for each girl that ties into her personality.

- Game is lighthearted and doesn't take itself too seriously, but characters still feel developed, which is refreshing.

- The pace at which this game went from initial demo to respectable initial release is insane and should be applauded.

- Johannes best character 11/10 no notes.

Things that could be improved:

- I think this game still really needs a tutorial of some kind. I played the demo, so I was able to jump in pretty easily, but having no background with the game this is based off, I really struggled with basic elements of the game during the demo, like needing to hit missiles in the points areas to do damage, knowing what cannon is firing, knowing how to see my ammo or that I even HAD ammo, etc. It's all stuff you can figure out but it would save a bit of strife to just have like a diagram or something.

- I still have absolutely no idea how you get scratch tickets. Sometimes I play a round and I have 7, sometimes I have 0 and I really cannot figure out how that works.

- Cheshire. Oh boy do I have some thoughts on Cheshire. I think I see where you were trying to go with some of this but I'm not sure if it stuck the landing.

- Cheshire being intoxicated and hungover for the first couple rounds has some humor/light intimidation value, like "oh she's so good she's the final boss and is beating you while barely being functional", but this kind of stunts her character development. All the other characters kind of steadily ramp up as you progress, learning more about their background as you consistently build sexual tension. With Cheshire, the conversations are "I'm drunk", "I'm hungover", "I have minor daddy issues", and "I guess we're gonna bang now lol". Her "chapter" just doesn't really flow like the others do. Like I'd be really curious to see how you wrote her chatbot personality because she's the one girl where I'm not sure what her personality even is.

- I think Cheshire is also the only character with BGM that has lyrics. At first, that felt hype, like emphasizing how she's the final boss so she gets something special, but the issue is her rounds are just super long (maybe I just suck lol) so that "I'm Cheshire" hook gets really old really fast. Ended up having to mute the game for a bit towards the end since it was really starting to get grating.

- Might be alone in this opinion, but I don't know how I feel about the bits about competitors being required to have sex at the end of the match if they lose. I think it would be a bit more fun if getting their clothes blown off was part of the game, but they just agreed to hook up with Algie because they developed chemistry rather than it being some rule. It feels like this is the case for most of the girls anyway, but sometimes it felt a bit forced.

- Some of the borders of the hitboxes can be really hard to make out. Ella's groin hitbox on the last stage of her bonus round particularly stands out.

- There's an error with the tooltips/mouseover text in the upgrade menu. At least for me they all display the description for missile production, regardless of which upgrade you hover over.

Other stuff that would be cool:

- Rewards for beating bonus rounds, like an additional picture or something. I'm not going to like, demand the extra CGs for that though. Just would be nice.

- Being able to replay earlier rounds, in case you want to replay a girl's story without deleting your save or something. If there's currently a way to do this, I haven't found it.

- Maybe having some conversation options to make the pre-match scenes a bit more interactive?

- Skipping dialogue for pre-match scenes that you've already seen. Again, if this is already in the game, I don't know how to do it.

- Regarding the chatbots, I'm by no means an expert on AI chat stuff, but I wonder if an actual NSFW service like spicychat.ai would be better than character.ai? I don't know if there are better options out there but it just feels kinda... underwhelming to have a strictly censored chat with a character that explicitly states they're going to give you a prostate massage with their tongue in this game.

Overall, really liked this game. Hope you stick with it. 

Wow last time I checked there was only one girl, really impressive"
