Re: [RJ126494]Pink Juice(Full version released/Own bought)
Has anyone worked out the mechanics of this one yet? Here's what I know:
Days are divided into three parts; morning, afternoon, and night. The first two periods allow you to explore the school, and it seems some areas are only accessible at certain times. At night you get to H your GF, a choice of four scenes, which progress each time you see them, I think.
When exploring, you can see a "pheromone" meter in the top-right (with the heart). You can see what its actual value is via the in-game menu. You can raise it by examining some objects in the environment, like lockers, the bin in one of the classrooms, and the vending machine, and these bonuses occasionally come back, so it's worth checking all the points at least once a day (once per morning/afternoon maybe?).
The sparkles on the map increase your pheromone level, and reappear each period. There is a pool of light in the gym grounds which restores some health.
On certain maps (outdoors only?) you can choose the second option in the menu allows you to spend 100 pheromones for an H-scene. These definitely do give you stat bonuses, and each scene and their individual effects is listed in the third option in the menu.
Enemies can be instantly avoided if you press Z when they bump in to you (you'll see a heart if you get it right). In combat, you can either fight or use an ability each round. There are two types of abilities (that I've seen so far), one has an HP cost, and the other costs stamina (the blue bar). The only stamina-costing ability I have so far can extract pheromones from enemies, but they only have a limited amount each (the number under their sprite). Using the ability on the same enemy has diminishing returns, it only seems to be worth using it a couple of times on each foe.
You can learn a second stamina-costing ability (after using the first a certain number of times?), which increases a foe's pheromone level. Not sure what the advantage of that is, yet. The third ability increases the enemy pheromone level and deals damage at the same time.
