According to their Kickstarter, they are still working on the game. It looks like they update every month. I can't see the actual posts since I'm not a backer, but they just gave a progress update on January 5th.
I just played this game on android, and I'm hooked! Could someone please confirm that this game is still under development, because I'd be heartbroken if it's abandoned ♡
I particularly love that the romance is catering to a more mature audience. It's rare to find an otome where the characters are adults with history, experience, standards and expectations. And I love that in the beginning Sun is truly trying to keep Terra as her partner, even though she notices that the way they are now is hurting her and negatively affecting how she lives her life. It's ... relatable.
So please, please, please give us a sign of life, dear creator team, because I need to romance Pluto!
[Can I also request Ikemen Prince level of intimacy since the romance is already catered towards adults? Please and thank you ♡]
I am pretty sure it is still being worked on. I found their Kickstarter and, although I can't see the posts since I wasn't a backer, it looks like they're updating the progress monthly.
Hi, any updates for the game perhaps? The planned release date on Steam says 2022, but since there haven't been any updates lately I don't think that's correct, so I just wanted to ask how it's going 😊
Can't wait to play once it's finished! Huge fan of your team's work, over the span of many years I think I played and replayed your games like damn near 10 times for each game 😂 Take your time finishing this and take care of your health! Just popping in to cheer you on and show support. Drink water and get rest! Make sure you're getting outside too 😂 (Game devs love to deprive themselves of sleep and hermit up LMFAO). Thank you guys for your hard work and all that you do!
Hi! Thank you for the amazing compliment :D Unfortunately I do not have a concrete release date, the only thing I can give is progress updates. We're in the process of completing the last two routes of the game. Right now, we are writing Ur's endings and then we'll be recording the voice acting. However, we'll still need to cut and correct the audio once we are finished with recordings and then program everything into the game. After that we'll need to do the same thing for Zagreus (the Black Hole route).
So there's still a good chunk to go, but we're making good progress with 8/10 routes completed. Thank you sticking around for so long! I hope it'll be worth the wait!
Hi! This game is still being worked on. We just finished up Mars route and we are currently in the process of writing and coding the final two routes, Ur and the Black Hole route. But rest assured development is still in progress :)
Hey! No worries, the game is still in development. Right now 6 of the 10 routes are fully completed and ready while the other 4 are at varying stages of WIP. We're working on trying to get the game done as quickly as possible and while I was hoping to have it out by the end of the year, it's starting to look more likely that it's destined for 2022. I plan to make an update this month to go more into depth about where we're at with everything and how much more we have to go. Thank you for your interest in the game :)
This game is super cute. I find Sun kind of irritating (I empathize with Terra, tbh, lol), but I think this is an interesting idea and enjoy the different personalities. Looking forward to seeing the full version when it's released.
Hey! Based on our current development we're hoping to release the full game around Spring to Summer 2021 if all continues to go well *fingers crossed*. The game will be around 200k words with 10 routes! Thank you for your interest!
No, the full game will be commercial, as it has quite a lot of content and full voice acting. The planned price point is $20 USD, but if that changes we'll be sure to announce it.
It can't be helped. The cost to actually make a game with 10 distinct routes and full voice acting is not small.
The demo is available for free so I'd recommend you try it out yourself, but you do start off already in a romantic relationship, even if things aren't going the best.
Hi, sorry for the confusion! We put out a dev update for this last month but I realized we forgot to change the info at the top of this page. We removed the old gamejam version of the game as we will be adding new content, voice acting, and 4 additional routes. The only version of the game available at the moment is the prologue.
However, if you'd still like to play the gamejam version, feel free to send me a message and I'll give you the link :)
1. Did you enjoy the game overall? YES! I loved. It's a plot I had never played before and you did a great job creating their personalities mostly based on their astronomical features rather on their mythological ones. The visual and the music are very pleasant, matching the atmosphere of the narrative.
2. Who is your favorite character? Pluto and Jupiter are my favorite characters so far. Pluto is cute, shy and makes you want to hug him all the time. Jupiter is the protective type and the things we learn about him during his route adds a new layer to his personality.
3. What route is your favorite? Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune, in that order. They are really artistic and this makes me like a lot of their scenes. I usually don't enjoy the girl's routes as much I enjoy the boy's, completing them most because I want to know all the stories in the game. But Neptune is a really nice character, and my favorite type of character on top of all.
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be? I'm looking forward to seen the Venus route and the cg-gallery. If it's not too much of work to do, a section listing the obtained/obtainable endings would be nice to those (like me) who like to see all the possibilities of all route of the game. (spoiler alert) I also would love to know more about the "blessing" from Sun, given to Terra. I understand the it was the gift of life in the planet, but I'd like to see more explanation about it. See more of the Terra-Jupiter friendship would be nice too. (spoiler ends)
5. General comments on the story: I enjoyed how the other planets make appearances on the planet-route you are currently playing. I think it adds more to the feeling that they are all connect as the unity of the solar system after all.
(spoiler alert) I just loved how the moons are portrayed as animals, and each planet having a different type of "moon-pet". I also found really nice the friendship between some planets, showing the importance of both romantic and friends relationship in one's life, something many time not mentioned on date sim games. (spoiler ends)
Hi there,im having a slight issue. When I go to play a route after the prologue It brings me to a blank screen with a box saying placeholder Then brings me to the main menu so I can't continue.
So sorry it took me so long to respond! If it is the Venus, Mars, or Mercury route, those are still in progress and unavailable. However, if it is any of the other routes please let us know and we'll look into it right away!
2. Who is your favorite character? and 3. What route is your favorite?
ur- i've got a type and he's it.
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
add, specifically? more cgs.... no, more choices would be more valuable. change? a couple things come to mind, but i think the main one would be some general writing tweaks- drawing out the development of relationships a little, and placing the more intense romantic stuff AFTER emotions are discussed and drama dealt with, rather than before/during.
It's great to hear that you've enjoyed it! We are planning to expand things some for the full game, including both CGs and choices and just generally more development. Hopefully we'll be able to please you with the updates.
Overall, yes I did enjoy the game. A lot of work and ideas were put in that's for sure. Even though it was a demo, it was interesting to learn about each character and kinda of pull out some sort of personality from them based on read dialogue and interactions between other characters and to Sun.
2. Who is your favorite character?
Pluto; I'm a Scorpio, I can relate to my ruling planet
and the (sun) Spots
3. What route is your favorite?
Pluto; I'm a Scorpio, I can relate to my ruling planet
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
I very much liked the Extras and Glossary, look forward to seeing the full release so we can view the gallery/ CG events. I would add links/ citations to the "facts" about the sun and the other planets (if those are to be added in the game). It's important to know where sources come from when stating such things about the real world.
"5. Feedback and Comments"
Good job for coming together and forming a team to make such a game. The ambition and heart is really admirable. I took the Survey also when I finished, so be prepared to read another wall of text. ^^;
My main beef with this game was, Sun. Playing throughout the routes and observing how she interacted with the others, Sun just gave me a lot of "Mama Vibes" and "Grand Star of the Galaxy" Persona. Her voluptuousness and "charming" behaviors made me see her the "Hot and flirtatious" type. (She's the sun, I know)
But it felt rather unrefined and distasteful.
Despite her kindness and glamor, I would describe her personality as pushy, "too good", and "all too powerful". Maybe that's the way she's supposed to be? Her flaws? I wasn't sure.
Going over Pluto's route sort of reinforced that, to me at least. When Charon came and tackled her and Pluto was in a panic, Sun just brushed it off like it was no big deal because she could've burned Charon away "into a crisp". First of all how dare-
As she later faced Neptune and stated she first asked Pluto out, out of "speculation", and finally realized he is just a lonely boy who needed love, that just felt even more pitiful; even if she "understands" him at this point
This is just critical feedback.
I rate this a 5.5/10
I did enjoy the game, honest.
I played twice to get the bad endings for Ur and Pluto, I hurted so bad.
If you really want me to get angry and brutal, toss me any Diabolik lovers game that's not the first game. I assure you I don't (and didn't) need to play any of the releases after MoOUAH BuRAtDOH, to tell you how far down the drain the game's gotten. XD
Yes, I did. Very nice artstyle with detailed backgrounds and bunch of colorful and good-looking "planet people". Not bad and original plot. And I like the design of Sun's mansion.
2. Who is your favorite character?
It's hard to say... Maybe Mars? She is the most rebel one. She doesn't like anybody and doesn't care about anybody (except Sun). Saturn and Nepture are cool, too.
3. What route is your favorite?
Mars x Sun. Probably. It something like: the queen x the female warrior. Sounds not bad :)
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
I'd change design of some planets... and maybe gender of some, too. To make them match their typical personifications. But most of them look how I'd imagine.
So I realize this is probably way overdue (I get distracted easily) but I wanted to answer the questions about the game:
1. Did you enjoy the game overall?
I honestly have a bit of a hard time really getting into the game. There's a lot of baggage/history going on with the characters' relationships with the Sun (particularly Venus and Terra) that the players just get told about and don't see first hand that made it a bit hard for me to really understand the dynamics at play.
2. Who is your favorite character?
I think Jupiter?
3. What route is your favorite?
I haven't managed to finish a route, like I said I had a hard time getting into the game.
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
MC customization choices (I get she's the sun so blonde hair and eyes make sense, but maybe skin color options?)
Thanks for the compliments and support! I've just uploaded a guide to the game page with how to get Jupiter's good end as well as all the other available characters.
Its a very lovely story!! I like the concept alot and it all seems to make sense with the personas and everything the planets have. I am a bit confused though, because I played pluto's route and it seemed kinda short? Maybe I got the bad ending but I am not sure.
Hi there Purrz. The bad ending is shorter than the good one, to be sure, but there are also a couple scenes that have yet to be added to Pluto's route due to *cough* art requirements. It'll happen eventually, heheh.
I loved the music, the backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous and the characters are cute. I really appreciate how you're showcasing unhealthy behaviours as unhealthy but still very human.
I haven't played through all the six available routes yet, but Neptune and Ur are my babies and I want to protect them with everything I have not gonna lie
(Forgive me if the html/formatting isn't perfect -- this is my first comment on itch and there doesn't seem to be a preview button).
Did u like it
I had some trouble starting the game -- I'd downloaded the "Normal" zip file for *Android*, you see. In my Windows-using priviledge, my hubris, I'd neglected to read the file name all the way through and clicked the first download link that seemed to be the default. Once I got that figured out though, the game ran smoothly with no issues. As soon as the option to pick a route appeared, my immediate choice was Venus. I was intrigued by his past with Sun, and wanted to see how they would reconcile and reminisce. Also I have a thing for hoity-toity pretty boys, and his six-pack window was too extra for me to resist. So in wild irony, he's one of the few routes that isn't yet available. Haha. Still, there are many more suitors for Sun to choose from. With my desire for reconciliation still in mind, I went for the freshly disgraced Terra... And to keep this comment from getting too ridiculously lengthy: I decided I liked the game. The rest is history, as they say.
Favorite character/routes
Neptune was the first LI who I found hugely relatable, and I must specify that I'm PICKY with my female routes. I loved that she had the potential to be emotional and raw and violent, but also mature, cold and logical. She's also something of a Mean Girl (as seen in Pluto's route), which most people may consider a turn-off... but you know what, I was down with it. I'd ride or die with this babe. <spoiler>[I adore Pluto, but if someone's dogs chased my cats, I'd get bitchy too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not to the point of physically harming an animal, but still.....]</spoiler> It's true that her route ends abruptly, but I chalked it up to the game being in-progress and didn't dwell on it too hard. I still had a lovely time with her, and a small part of me enjoyed her <spoiler>[beating the crap out of Terra in her route. That's what you get for drunkenly crashing my party you jerk.]</spoiler> Of course, I then found myself hugely charmed by Jupiter. Ah, curse my weakness for bigger men who have loved you all along. He's awkward in his largeness, but sweet and protective and capable. There's a curious amount sexual tension in his route, which was pleasing. Terra had *some* tension, but each romantic moment was created and resolved fairly quickly -- whereas Jupiter's tension lingers and pines (which is more engaging, in my opinion). The subplot with his asteroid-throwing job, and the pressure it puts on his sense of responsibility and creativity--wooh! This route was a generous one! Much more giving and fun than I expected. <spoiler>[And it was JUICY TOO. For Terra to show up when he did!!! It had me actually screaming. And the plot twist! P.S, Terra, please stop infiltrating the other routes, you're just hurting yourself over and over lmao ;_;]</spoiler> I'd say Jupiter's route was single-handedly worth the download. <3
Other points neither here not there;
>On starting the game, the twinkle-twinkle music box tune and the slow-appearing planet buttons gave me a sense of assuaging calm. On subsequent playthroughs, the music held up its comforting accord. The slow-appearing buttons, however, proved a minor nuisance. I had strategically placed saves! Let me load faster, dangnabit! >I hit the download link largely because I was entranced by all the colors in the sprites. Although I wasn't conventionally thirsting after any of the characters, I was still strangely drawn to their designs. The dissolve effect, by the way, was used on blushing to great effect. I played and replayed an animation of Ur getting red at the cheeks early in the game, gleeful to have this power over him. >I'm impressed with the educational glossary!!! I only glanced over it very briefly (I'm preoccupied with learning other things in my life atm), but more science/space-inclined players should love it. ^^ >I appreciate and relate to the subtle cues that Sun is dealing with... depression, perhaps? Low self-esteem at times? There's allusions to her hibernation and self-isolating habits, and an overall sense that she's not a perfect character. >I appreciate that the dialogue menu box changes a little depending on which route you're on. :') >The concept of celestial bodies put me in the mind of royalty, and I was a little disappointed that it wasn't pushed a bit further in that direction. Granted, if I wanted to date members of a royal court, there's already a million games with that theme in the VN community. I'm not in urgent need to see the concept recycled here. >All that said, I would love to see the characters' wardrobe take more inspiration from... high fashion, perhaps, or red carpet events. To give them unique silhouette shapes and asymmetrical lines. (Except perhaps Terra who seems to be a closet weeb. I tolerate and warily love this about him).
Thank you to the MOS team for putting the game together and working so hard. ❤ I promise it is shining through, and I look forward to seeing the game's continued polish.
So many things I'd like to say to this, but let's start with thank you! So thrilled to hear that you liked the game not only enough to comment but to make one this in-depth. I'm super happy that you like Neptune; she is a complicated character but she deserves love too.
We've taken note of some of your feedback and have some updates in mind for the full version, so hopefully we won't disappoint. I can only hope that Venus lives up to all the interest he's been getting. xD
I'm still working through the other routes but I just wanted to say that Pluto completely stole my heart! I laughed so hard when Chronos jumped on Sun and took up the entire screen xD that was a nice touch! I wish Neptune would be nicer to Pluto since they're both outer planets! He could be like her lil brother if she had the patience hehehe (I guess i'll just have to play her route and figure her out!).
Jupiter is quite a charmer! He's not really my type, but he and Sun do make a good pair. The art for his house gives me such a warm feeling and I love his little moons! I like how all the moons all have personalities in this game, so they seem a little less like pets and more like friends/helpers.
I'm going to force myself to not play all 6 routes today but I just wanted to express my appreciation!
Ayy, a Pluto fan. Pluto's relationship with Neptune is pretty complicated. Ironically, had Sun not recognized him as an official planet she would probably be championing him just as much as she does all the other dwarfs. But she thinks he got his position by trickery and does not deserve it. This is actually the second time it's been suggested to me that some reconciliation happen at some point. If we're able to get enough interest that it seems viable to make bonus content, we'll see what I can do!
I'm not really one for talking, but I haven't seen anyone else screech properly over Juno, so I shall endeavour to lay the foundation. Because he deserves all the affection. Bestest, softest, dumbest sorry, my love, but you spent HOW long hiding from the love of your life who also had a crush on you?! boy of the solar system. I mean, I did fully expect to fall for him because I can usually guess my type (which he is 101%), but I didn't exactly expect he'd crush all the other options quite so spectacularly - no one else is even close. I love how he's such a wild, perfect mix of tenderness and passion, I love the comfortable atmosphere he has with Sun, how they are both trying their best all the time (even if sometimes what they really need to do is breathe out and ask for help), how when they finally work together it feels like they'd be able to handle anything. I just feel like Sun and Juno make a really good match and would be able to help each other with any internal struggles, since they would understand each other so well. As frustrating as the whole "I'll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day I'll die" was, it was so worth it when Sun got through to him - there was such a sense of peace to the ending. And also I just adore how Juno is so sweet and steadfast (and he feels so safe and warm, I just had this completely idiotic grin all throughout the non-angst part of the route), and this when the boy is a mess on the inside. Juno happy and at peace and in a loving relationship would probably just overload my brain long-term xD He has his flaws, he makes mistakes, but at the core of everything he just cares about Sun so much it hurts. I just want Sun to shower him in so much affection, he deserves so much love. ...sorry, I think I forgot what I wanted to say, at least the more eloquent part of it. Oooh, and I love his CG. They both look so happy and it's preciously soft. So, I just wanted to say thank you, I had a truly great time playing and my fluff-loving heart is thoroughly charmed. I think I'll go replay his route now... ♥♥♥
Oh wow, you have no idea how happy this comment makes me >//< Thank you for taking the time to write this. Jupiter is a sweetheart, you really defined him perfectly and it's exactly how I wanted to portray him!
I'm sure he'd be a blushing fit and mutter about not being worthy of such admiration if he heard such nice things said about him :D
Haha, well I'm happy if I managed to return some of the happiness I felt playing this route ^^ It just might become one of those games I'd come back to on bad days as a surefire pick-me-up, it's the kind of romance that feels like coming home. Feeling gloomy? Gentle giant space puppy to the rescue! Aw, that's an adorable reaction (and no, sorry, he's stuck with my "Sun" being loudly praising and extremely cuddly, embarassment or not. Just gotta accept that he is loved and worthy of happiness) :3 Thank you again for such a wholesome, endearing game! ♥
{spoilers} For Ur the correct combo is R-L-L{/end spoilers}
We've left the gallery locked for now until we can finish at least one CG for every route. That's my current task right now! Thank you so much for playing our game!
Hi! Trying the game out and its lovely! Jupiter's route was awesome)
I encountered a bug (i think) in Neptunes route - after the perfromance, when Terra shows up ("geez, its hard to navigate" line), the game kicks me out in the main menu(
Hey there! I've been unable to reproduce the issue you mentioned, however I have made a fresh build for you after verifying that I can play through and past the part in question. Hopefully this one will work okay for you.
Just wanted to say that I am enjoying the game so far :) I've currently only done Neptune's route and I have to say it's been fun. The art is great and I'm excited to learn about all the different characters (even Terra, despite his drunken tirade)
The ending does seem a little abrupt though. Is that the demo end and should I expect longer routes with a full release, or will that be it? Either way I am satisfied.
Hello, as Neptune's writer I have to admit her ending is a little rushed. I'm planning to have some improvements ready for the second wave of release so please look forward to it.

To anyone that was wondering ….
According to their Kickstarter, they are still working on the game. It looks like they update every month. I can't see the actual posts since I'm not a backer, but they just gave a progress update on January 5th.
Just updating here that the last update to their Kickstarter was on June 6th 2023.
Update: No new posts since June 6th 2023 😔
last login (for yoshibb, at least) to kickstarter was december of last year too :(
I just played this game on android, and I'm hooked! Could someone please confirm that this game is still under development, because I'd be heartbroken if it's abandoned ♡
I particularly love that the romance is catering to a more mature audience. It's rare to find an otome where the characters are adults with history, experience, standards and expectations. And I love that in the beginning Sun is truly trying to keep Terra as her partner, even though she notices that the way they are now is hurting her and negatively affecting how she lives her life. It's ... relatable.
So please, please, please give us a sign of life, dear creator team, because I need to romance Pluto!
[Can I also request Ikemen Prince level of intimacy since the romance is already catered towards adults? Please and thank you ♡]
I am pretty sure it is still being worked on. I found their Kickstarter and, although I can't see the posts since I wasn't a backer, it looks like they're updating the progress monthly.
Thank you so much for going all Sherlock for us! I've been anxiously checking in here every once in a while for life signs <3
Hi, any updates for the game perhaps? The planned release date on Steam says 2022, but since there haven't been any updates lately I don't think that's correct, so I just wanted to ask how it's going 😊
Such a good idea for an otome!
Can't wait to play once it's finished! Huge fan of your team's work, over the span of many years I think I played and replayed your games like damn near 10 times for each game 😂 Take your time finishing this and take care of your health! Just popping in to cheer you on and show support. Drink water and get rest! Make sure you're getting outside too 😂 (Game devs love to deprive themselves of sleep and hermit up LMFAO). Thank you guys for your hard work and all that you do!
Hi Yoshibb!
Your games have always been close to my heart. I can't wait for anything new you have in store!
Any news on this game? Any idea when it might be released?
Hi! Thank you for the amazing compliment :D Unfortunately I do not have a concrete release date, the only thing I can give is progress updates. We're in the process of completing the last two routes of the game. Right now, we are writing Ur's endings and then we'll be recording the voice acting. However, we'll still need to cut and correct the audio once we are finished with recordings and then program everything into the game. After that we'll need to do the same thing for Zagreus (the Black Hole route).
So there's still a good chunk to go, but we're making good progress with 8/10 routes completed. Thank you sticking around for so long! I hope it'll be worth the wait!
It's sad to see this hasn't gotten anywhere...
Hi! This game is still being worked on. We just finished up Mars route and we are currently in the process of writing and coding the final two routes, Ur and the Black Hole route. But rest assured development is still in progress :)
awesome! Glad to hear! Played the demo when it first came out, and just replayed it again lol.
Hey! No worries, the game is still in development. Right now 6 of the 10 routes are fully completed and ready while the other 4 are at varying stages of WIP. We're working on trying to get the game done as quickly as possible and while I was hoping to have it out by the end of the year, it's starting to look more likely that it's destined for 2022. I plan to make an update this month to go more into depth about where we're at with everything and how much more we have to go. Thank you for your interest in the game :)
This game is super cute. I find Sun kind of irritating (I empathize with Terra, tbh, lol), but I think this is an interesting idea and enjoy the different personalities. Looking forward to seeing the full version when it's released.
Hi, I just picked up to see the changes in the updated demo and wanted to let you know about a small error I got!
Any clue on the full release? Will gladly buy this if it ends up being a decent sized game.
Hey! Based on our current development we're hoping to release the full game around Spring to Summer 2021 if all continues to go well *fingers crossed*. The game will be around 200k words with 10 routes! Thank you for your interest!
Thank you for replying. Can't wait!
Hi, I'd like to know if the full version will be free? :)
No, the full game will be commercial, as it has quite a lot of content and full voice acting. The planned price point is $20 USD, but if that changes we'll be sure to announce it.
Oh, sad xD also, how long is the demo and does it present any romance or something?
It can't be helped. The cost to actually make a game with 10 distinct routes and full voice acting is not small.
The demo is available for free so I'd recommend you try it out yourself, but you do start off already in a romantic relationship, even if things aren't going the best.
I don't know if my game is glitched, but I downloaded the mac version and I can't play any of the routes?
I'm reinstalling it to see if that helps
Still doesn't work. I get to the point after the party and none of the routes work.
Hi, sorry for the confusion! We put out a dev update for this last month but I realized we forgot to change the info at the top of this page. We removed the old gamejam version of the game as we will be adding new content, voice acting, and 4 additional routes. The only version of the game available at the moment is the prologue.
However, if you'd still like to play the gamejam version, feel free to send me a message and I'll give you the link :)
I really love this game and would love to play the gamejam version! I'm not the original commenter, but could you please send me the link?
Sure thing! Send an email to myonlysunshinedev@gmail.com and I'll send you a link :D

4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
I'm looking forward to seen the Venus route and the cg-gallery. If it's not too much of work to do, a section listing the obtained/obtainable endings would be nice to those (like me) who like to see all the possibilities of all route of the game.
(spoiler alert)
I also would love to know more about the "blessing" from Sun, given to Terra. I understand the it was the gift of life in the planet, but I'd like to see more explanation about it. See more of the Terra-Jupiter friendship would be nice too.

Hi there,im having a slight issue. When I go to play a route after the prologue It brings me to a blank screen with a box saying placeholder Then brings me to the main menu so I can't continue.
I downloaded this using the itch.io client.
I'm getting the same problem. I wonder if its because the route isn't finished yet?
So sorry it took me so long to respond! If it is the Venus, Mars, or Mercury route, those are still in progress and unavailable. However, if it is any of the other routes please let us know and we'll look into it right away!
1. Did you enjoy the game overall?
yes!
2. Who is your favorite character? and 3. What route is your favorite?
ur- i've got a type and he's it.
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
add, specifically? more cgs.... no, more choices would be more valuable. change? a couple things come to mind, but i think the main one would be some general writing tweaks- drawing out the development of relationships a little, and placing the more intense romantic stuff AFTER emotions are discussed and drama dealt with, rather than before/during.
It's great to hear that you've enjoyed it! We are planning to expand things some for the full game, including both CGs and choices and just generally more development. Hopefully we'll be able to please you with the updates.
1. Did you enjoy the game overall?
Overall, yes I did enjoy the game. A lot of work and ideas were put in that's for sure. Even though it was a demo, it was interesting to learn about each character and kinda of pull out some sort of personality from them based on read dialogue and interactions between other characters and to Sun.
2. Who is your favorite character?
Pluto; I'm a Scorpio, I can relate to my ruling planet
and the (sun) Spots
3. What route is your favorite?
Pluto; I'm a Scorpio, I can relate to my ruling planet
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
I very much liked the Extras and Glossary, look forward to seeing the full release so we can view the gallery/ CG events. I would add links/ citations to the "facts" about the sun and the other planets (if those are to be added in the game). It's important to know where sources come from when stating such things about the real world.
"5. Feedback and Comments"
Good job for coming together and forming a team to make such a game. The ambition and heart is really admirable. I took the Survey also when I finished, so be prepared to read another wall of text. ^^;
My main beef with this game was, Sun. Playing throughout the routes and observing how she interacted with the others, Sun just gave me a lot of "Mama Vibes" and "Grand Star of the Galaxy" Persona. Her voluptuousness and "charming" behaviors made me see her the "Hot and flirtatious" type. (She's the sun, I know)
But it felt rather unrefined and distasteful.
Despite her kindness and glamor, I would describe her personality as pushy, "too good", and "all too powerful". Maybe that's the way she's supposed to be? Her flaws? I wasn't sure.
Going over Pluto's route sort of reinforced that, to me at least. When Charon came and tackled her and Pluto was in a panic, Sun just brushed it off like it was no big deal because she could've burned Charon away "into a crisp".
First of all how dare-
As she later faced Neptune and stated she first asked Pluto out, out of "speculation", and finally realized he is just a lonely boy who needed love, that just felt even more pitiful; even if she "understands" him at this point
This is just critical feedback.
I rate this a 5.5/10
I did enjoy the game, honest.
I played twice to get the bad endings for Ur and Pluto, I hurted so bad.
If you really want me to get angry and brutal, toss me any Diabolik lovers game that's not the first game. I assure you I don't (and didn't) need to play any of the releases after MoOUAH BuRAtDOH, to tell you how far down the drain the game's gotten. XD
1. Did you enjoy the game overall?
Yes, I did. Very nice artstyle with detailed backgrounds and bunch of colorful and good-looking "planet people". Not bad and original plot. And I like the design of Sun's mansion.
2. Who is your favorite character?
It's hard to say... Maybe Mars? She is the most rebel one. She doesn't like anybody and doesn't care about anybody (except Sun). Saturn and Nepture are cool, too.
3. What route is your favorite?
Mars x Sun. Probably. It something like: the queen x the female warrior. Sounds not bad :)
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
I'd change design of some planets... and maybe gender of some, too. To make them match their typical personifications. But most of them look how I'd imagine.
So I realize this is probably way overdue (I get distracted easily) but I wanted to answer the questions about the game:
1. Did you enjoy the game overall?
I honestly have a bit of a hard time really getting into the game. There's a lot of baggage/history going on with the characters' relationships with the Sun (particularly Venus and Terra) that the players just get told about and don't see first hand that made it a bit hard for me to really understand the dynamics at play.
2. Who is your favorite character?
I think Jupiter?
3. What route is your favorite?
I haven't managed to finish a route, like I said I had a hard time getting into the game.
4. If you could add anything to the game what would it be?
MC customization choices (I get she's the sun so blonde hair and eyes make sense, but maybe skin color options?)
I love it , the idea , the drawing , everything about it
By the way how to get Jupiter good ending
Thanks for the compliments and support! I've just uploaded a guide to the game page with how to get Jupiter's good end as well as all the other available characters.
Its a very lovely story!! I like the concept alot and it all seems to make sense with the personas and everything the planets have. I am a bit confused though, because I played pluto's route and it seemed kinda short? Maybe I got the bad ending but I am not sure.
Hi there Purrz. The bad ending is shorter than the good one, to be sure, but there are also a couple scenes that have yet to be added to Pluto's route due to *cough* art requirements. It'll happen eventually, heheh.
I really like Pluto, he's a sweetheart. But, I think I got his bad ending. How do I get a good ending with him?
Try being supportive and encouraging towards him rather than just trying to jump his bones. ;)
Thank you! I'm bad at otome games, so maybe one day you can make a walkthrough, if it's not too much trouble.
I'll see what I can do!
Thank you! ❤
I loved the music, the backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous and the characters are cute. I really appreciate how you're showcasing unhealthy behaviours as unhealthy but still very human.
I haven't played through all the six available routes yet, but Neptune and Ur are my babies and I want to protect them with everything I have not gonna lie
Yes, the ice giants need that love to melt their hearts and other cheesy symbolism!
(Forgive me if the html/formatting isn't perfect -- this is my first comment on itch and there doesn't seem to be a preview button).
Did u like it
I had some trouble starting the game -- I'd downloaded the "Normal" zip file for *Android*, you see. In my Windows-using priviledge, my hubris, I'd neglected to read the file name all the way through and clicked the first download link that seemed to be the default. Once I got that figured out though, the game ran smoothly with no issues.
As soon as the option to pick a route appeared, my immediate choice was Venus. I was intrigued by his past with Sun, and wanted to see how they would reconcile and reminisce. Also I have a thing for hoity-toity pretty boys, and his six-pack window was too extra for me to resist.
So in wild irony, he's one of the few routes that isn't yet available. Haha.
Still, there are many more suitors for Sun to choose from. With my desire for reconciliation still in mind, I went for the freshly disgraced Terra... And to keep this comment from getting too ridiculously lengthy: I decided I liked the game. The rest is history, as they say.
Favorite character/routes
Neptune was the first LI who I found hugely relatable, and I must specify that I'm PICKY with my female routes. I loved that she had the potential to be emotional and raw and violent, but also mature, cold and logical. She's also something of a Mean Girl (as seen in Pluto's route), which most people may consider a turn-off... but you know what, I was down with it. I'd ride or die with this babe.
<spoiler>[I adore Pluto, but if someone's dogs chased my cats, I'd get bitchy too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not to the point of physically harming an animal, but still.....]</spoiler>It's true that her route ends abruptly, but I chalked it up to the game being in-progress and didn't dwell on it too hard. I still had a lovely time with her, and a small part of me enjoyed her
<spoiler>[beating the crap out of Terra in her route. That's what you get for drunkenly crashing my party you jerk.]</spoiler>Of course, I then found myself hugely charmed by Jupiter.
Ah, curse my weakness for bigger men who have loved you all along. He's awkward in his largeness, but sweet and protective and capable. There's a curious amount sexual tension in his route, which was pleasing. Terra had *some* tension, but each romantic moment was created and resolved fairly quickly -- whereas Jupiter's tension lingers and pines (which is more engaging, in my opinion).
The subplot with his asteroid-throwing job, and the pressure it puts on his sense of responsibility and creativity--wooh! This route was a generous one! Much more giving and fun than I expected.
<spoiler>[And it was JUICY TOO. For Terra to show up when he did!!! It had me actually screaming. And the plot twist! P.S, Terra, please stop infiltrating the other routes, you're just hurting yourself over and over lmao ;_;]</spoiler>I'd say Jupiter's route was single-handedly worth the download. <3
Other points neither here not there;
>On starting the game, the twinkle-twinkle music box tune and the slow-appearing planet buttons gave me a sense of assuaging calm. On subsequent playthroughs, the music held up its comforting accord. The slow-appearing buttons, however, proved a minor nuisance. I had strategically placed saves! Let me load faster, dangnabit!
>I hit the download link largely because I was entranced by all the colors in the sprites. Although I wasn't conventionally thirsting after any of the characters, I was still strangely drawn to their designs. The dissolve effect, by the way, was used on blushing to great effect. I played and replayed an animation of Ur getting red at the cheeks early in the game, gleeful to have this power over him.
>I'm impressed with the educational glossary!!! I only glanced over it very briefly (I'm preoccupied with learning other things in my life atm), but more science/space-inclined players should love it. ^^
>I appreciate and relate to the subtle cues that Sun is dealing with... depression, perhaps? Low self-esteem at times? There's allusions to her hibernation and self-isolating habits, and an overall sense that she's not a perfect character.
>I appreciate that the dialogue menu box changes a little depending on which route you're on. :')
>The concept of celestial bodies put me in the mind of royalty, and I was a little disappointed that it wasn't pushed a bit further in that direction. Granted, if I wanted to date members of a royal court, there's already a million games with that theme in the VN community. I'm not in urgent need to see the concept recycled here.
>All that said, I would love to see the characters' wardrobe take more inspiration from... high fashion, perhaps, or red carpet events. To give them unique silhouette shapes and asymmetrical lines. (Except perhaps Terra who seems to be a closet weeb. I tolerate and warily love this about him).
Thank you to the MOS team for putting the game together and working so hard. ❤ I promise it is shining through, and I look forward to seeing the game's continued polish.
So many things I'd like to say to this, but let's start with thank you! So thrilled to hear that you liked the game not only enough to comment but to make one this in-depth. I'm super happy that you like Neptune; she is a complicated character but she deserves love too.
We've taken note of some of your feedback and have some updates in mind for the full version, so hopefully we won't disappoint. I can only hope that Venus lives up to all the interest he's been getting. xD
I'm still working through the other routes but I just wanted to say that Pluto completely stole my heart! I laughed so hard when Chronos jumped on Sun and took up the entire screen xD that was a nice touch! I wish Neptune would be nicer to Pluto since they're both outer planets! He could be like her lil brother if she had the patience hehehe (I guess i'll just have to play her route and figure her out!).
Jupiter is quite a charmer! He's not really my type, but he and Sun do make a good pair. The art for his house gives me such a warm feeling and I love his little moons! I like how all the moons all have personalities in this game, so they seem a little less like pets and more like friends/helpers.
I'm going to force myself to not play all 6 routes today but I just wanted to express my appreciation!
Ayy, a Pluto fan. Pluto's relationship with Neptune is pretty complicated. Ironically, had Sun not recognized him as an official planet she would probably be championing him just as much as she does all the other dwarfs. But she thinks he got his position by trickery and does not deserve it. This is actually the second time it's been suggested to me that some reconciliation happen at some point. If we're able to get enough interest that it seems viable to make bonus content, we'll see what I can do!
I'm not really one for talking, but I haven't seen anyone else screech properly over Juno, so I shall endeavour to lay the foundation. Because he deserves all the affection.
Bestest, softest, dumbest
sorry, my love, but you spent HOW long hiding from the love of your life who also had a crush on you?!boy of the solar system. I mean, I did fully expect to fall for him because I can usually guess my type (which he is 101%), but I didn't exactly expect he'd crush all the other options quite so spectacularly - no one else is even close.I love how he's such a wild, perfect mix of tenderness and passion, I love the comfortable atmosphere he has with Sun, how they are both trying their best all the time (even if sometimes what they really need to do is breathe out and ask for help), how when they finally work together it feels like they'd be able to handle anything. I just feel like Sun and Juno make a really good match and would be able to help each other with any internal struggles, since they would understand each other so well.
As frustrating as the whole "I'll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day I'll die" was, it was so worth it when Sun got through to him - there was such a sense of peace to the ending. And also I just adore how Juno is so sweet and steadfast (and he feels so safe and warm, I just had this completely idiotic grin all throughout the non-angst part of the route), and this when the boy is a mess on the inside. Juno happy and at peace and in a loving relationship would probably just overload my brain long-term xD He has his flaws, he makes mistakes, but at the core of everything he just cares about Sun so much it hurts. I just want Sun to shower him in so much affection, he deserves so much love.
...sorry, I think I forgot what I wanted to say, at least the more eloquent part of it. Oooh, and I love his CG. They both look so happy and it's preciously soft. So, I just wanted to say thank you, I had a truly great time playing and my fluff-loving heart is thoroughly charmed.
I think I'll go replay his route now... ♥♥♥
Oh wow, you have no idea how happy this comment makes me >//< Thank you for taking the time to write this. Jupiter is a sweetheart, you really defined him perfectly and it's exactly how I wanted to portray him!
I'm sure he'd be a blushing fit and mutter about not being worthy of such admiration if he heard such nice things said about him :D
Haha, well I'm happy if I managed to return some of the happiness I felt playing this route ^^ It just might become one of those games I'd come back to on bad days as a surefire pick-me-up, it's the kind of romance that feels like coming home.
Feeling gloomy? Gentle giant space puppy to the rescue!
Aw, that's an adorable reaction (and no, sorry, he's stuck with my "Sun" being loudly praising and extremely cuddly, embarassment or not. Just gotta accept that he is loved and worthy of happiness) :3Thank you again for such a wholesome, endearing game! ♥
Hi! I'm trying out the game and I love it! (Pluto is so damn sweet that I just ughhh)
But is that the only ending for Ur's route? IT'S SO SAD OMG PLS TELL ME I SCREWED UP SOMEHOW AND I CAN GET A HAPPY ONE T_T
Also, the Gallery isn't working, not sure if it should anyway, but just wanted to let you guys know.
Regardless, I'm in love with the game! Great work ♥
Thanks! Pluto is a cutie <3
{spoilers} For Ur the correct combo is R-L-L{/end spoilers}
We've left the gallery locked for now until we can finish at least one CG for every route. That's my current task right now! Thank you so much for playing our game!
Ooo THANK YOU ♥
And I can't wait for the full version! Hope it all works out for you guys during the final stage!
Hi! Trying the game out and its lovely! Jupiter's route was awesome)
I encountered a bug (i think) in Neptunes route - after the perfromance, when Terra shows up ("geez, its hard to navigate" line), the game kicks me out in the main menu(
Hey there! I've been unable to reproduce the issue you mentioned, however I have made a fresh build for you after verifying that I can play through and past the part in question. Hopefully this one will work okay for you.
Thank you for your quick response and the build! ^^ I'll try it
I can send you a save right before it or a log (if there is any), if it would help in any way
The fix worked, thank you!
Hi!
Just wanted to say that I am enjoying the game so far :) I've currently only done Neptune's route and I have to say it's been fun. The art is great and I'm excited to learn about all the different characters (even Terra, despite his drunken tirade)
The ending does seem a little abrupt though. Is that the demo end and should I expect longer routes with a full release, or will that be it? Either way I am satisfied.
Thank you very much for releasing this game!
Hello, as Neptune's writer I have to admit her ending is a little rushed. I'm planning to have some improvements ready for the second wave of release so please look forward to it.
