I found this game very boring, only because there seems to be NO WAY TO LOSE. So technically it's not even a game. I'm a huge, huge fan of bloons tower defense, and wish this version was as cool but I found myself trying to find ways to get myself stuck without a move. I think there are too many special balloons.

I can appreciate that you help the player along by not sending them all the way back to the beginning for a wrong line. It really helps the flow and keep people interested. The art was also pretty good.
But the success of some of those lines are doubtful, and the interaction is weak. Why is the right nipple okay but the left nipple isn't... until the right nipple is tweaked first? Here is where I think the elmination approach -- that worked well in the "Meet" part -- is all wrong and you should have let the lustmeter drop with every mistake. And there should definitely be room for failure in the bedroom.
And REALLY needs sound. Very awkward silence.

The game is a nice twist on Russian Roulette, but I had a lot of problems with the menu interfaces. Little things like the rollover button effects: they flashed way too many times. What's wrong with simply highlighting the button? It could have been a lot less neurotic.
Also, when I see the words "prev" and "next", I click THE WORDS, not the silly little arrows next to them. You should make any and all navigation text just as clickable as the little icons you opt to include as well.
The major complaint was the difficulty of the instructions. A step-by-step walkthrough AS YOU PLAY the game would be much more user-friendly. I forced myself to read through the basic gameplay but was too worn out to keep reading about all the unlocks and special features. The casual (or lazy, like me) gamer won't put up with it and simply move on to something easier.
Hope I've helped?

Noticed a few bugs. The game is really slick, so I was instantly hooked, but...
1. Invisible things take my life meter down, so there's no point in even trying to dodge things. Or is it because things are passing by me and I'm supposed to stop them? I appreciate that this is a remake but I need instructions!
2. The raster-image asteroids were too difficult to hit. I watched my bullets pass right through them. Maybe they take multiple hits? Again, no instructions. :(
3. There didn't seem any way to get back to the menu to see if there was something I was doing wrong, at least not without quitting the game altogether and restarting
4. The death sequence was weak: I just sat there, frozen, watching frozen enemies, listening to explosion sounds? Seems like there was supposed to be more.
5. Even after I "passed" a level, while waiting for the next one to load I watched my life meter drain. I realize it didn't matter by that point, but it's one of those bugs that are easily fixed and annoying.

Your sense of timing is really great. And as for your teachers, I suspect they're not as clueless as you think and actually have a sense of humor about the whole thing and can appreciate where you're coming from. School's no picnic for them either.
The only thing I'd suggest to improve is taking out some of the sound effects. The one that stood out the most was the slapping sequence towards the end during one of the fights. So many other hits didn't register but those did? You should have left them out and let the animation do the talking.
But really excellent. I'm really impressed.

however, i'm not convinced the difficult levels are solvable without guessing... very stylish, and even though i hate digital versions of the game (i'm a pen and paper kind of guy) i liked this one a lot.
