ACT Active [Niche Games] Primal Pulse (Jungle Girl RoR)

[Ms_Niche]

Primal Pulse
Inspired by Linemarvel's Jungle Girl
by Niche Games​

Developer: Niche Games
Engine: Unity 2022
Platforms: Windows (initial release) - Mac and mobile versions planned for future release
Status: In development.



Gameplay Overview
Game Type: 2D side-scrolling RoR.
Objective: React to approaching threats with the correct action — Duck / Jump / Dart — all requiring precise timing. All inputs are tap-based (no holds). This is a significant change from the original Jungle Girl where you were able to hold defensive inputs.



Threat Types:
• High threats (Current is Harpy) → Duck
• Low threats (Current is Tiger Girl) → Jump
• Mid threats (Current is Witch Doctor) → Dart



Core Mechanics:
• Scoring: +1 per successful defense
• All actions demand precise timing - there's no room for button mashing
• Fail to avoid an enemy → rape sequence, instant game over. (This is a significant departure from nearly all RoR games where they have an orgasm/energy meter and allow for multiple rape sequences per life cycle. Hopefully this change will result in the player being more engaged and focused during gameplay to achieve the highest score possible)



Content & Art Direction
• Currently three enemies, each with their own rape animations.
• HD sprites with 256px base frame size.
• Pure frame-by-frame animation (no AI, rigs, or tweening).




Controls
• Jump: W
• Duck: S
• Dart: D

This key binding setup is hopefully more intuitive than the original Jungle Girls' A - S - D setup.



Roadmap After Release
• At least 1 more rape animation per enemy.
• More enemies.
• More jungle-adjacent biomes (such as forgotten temples)

Requirements for Game Release
[ ] Audio Implementation
[ ] Rape Animations for all three enemies
[ ] Backend for leaderboards, feedback system ect

A Linemarvel-style game is always welcome. No creator site though (Patreon, itch.io, etc)?

That's a pretty bold departure. If you can balance the difficulty, it sounds like a good idea, but I can imagine this being really frustrating for the player.

Not at this time!

Yes, balancing the difficulty is going to be key! If it doesn't work out, I can always switch to a 3 life system, but I am wanting to try the instant game over out

itch.io, which is probably the easiest to set up, has had to de-list all it's adult tagged ( not just porn ) games due to pressure from payment processors. Steam's got a similar thing going on and there's a chance that patreon decides this is beastiality because of the monstergirls. H-game distribution is kind of a minefield right now.

I'm hoping to eventually set up a creators profile there once the game is ready to be played. Pretty sure the game will be small enough to work properly using WebGL. But yes, it's not looking good out there...

I dont mind instant kill deaths if the game is presumably as short as the OP is describing. The animations look good and fem on femdom is always appreciated. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one

Yes! - I plan on it feeling a lot like the flash games of old

A game not many know about, actually, I don't think it ever even released, was

What fascinated me most about the animations was that there was no expectation for the player to continue afterward, it led to some neat scenarios with the enemies. Even though this can feel limiting, under the right circumstances, it allows for a great deal of freedom and creativity in the animations.


If the player cannot continue, it means you have more freedom in the grab animations to really drive home the point that the player is completely and utterly defeated, much more so than touch-and-go grab animations.

But obviously it doesnt work everywhere. Imagine if getting grabbed in Parasite in City meant instant game over. People have complained about the lack of checkpoints in that game as it is lol.
