Tips to avoid too much frustration...
Added 2022-10-04 20:11:16 +0000 UTCOk. I'm going to be nice and give some clear tips to finish the game. If after these, there's still too much frustration, I can add some save points. But first, try it. In my case, I used to be a hardcore gamer and there was nothing that gave me more satisfaction than defeating a very, very challenging hard game. I'm also a gamer who prefers a million times figure how to beat an enemy by himself than looking at forums or at youtubers. That's probably why I always sucked in WOW (World of Warcraft), LOL, but that didn't prevent me from having amazing time!!!
DON'T READ THIS IF YOU'RE A HARDCORE GAMER WHO PREFER TO FIGURE THINGS OUT BY YOURSELF!!!
1. Mxyztplk will ALWAYS call for a battle when he's spanked, no matter if it was fair or unfair.
2. Melvin will call for a battle only when he's spanked unfairly.
3. In any doubt, just kick or punch. That's the only way to secure you're not getting a bomb or an explosion in the next interaction with that Melvin. If you kick Melvin or Mxyz, there's 50% chance they call for a battle, but that's far better than dying.
4. Hug, Peepeee inspection and showing boobs, besides revealing a bomb or illusions, are a way to spot Melvin, who will most of the time be the only one who stays after. (Of course, he's a little perv wanting for more!!!)
5. There's no way you can win on the first time, so it's better to make a plan. For example, if you found Melvin, you can focus on making him misbehave and spank him until to get new skills.
6. Try to avoid fights in the beginning and focus on disabling bombs and illusions. There's a 50% chance to get a reward with every trap disabled. With more life, power and HP, the battles will turn easier, until you can defeat Mary Marvel with the tip of your fingers.
7. It's very likely you will lose the first round. But then, every time you spank Mxyz and defeat Mary Marvel at the fight (even you haven't got barebum or disabled bombs), you get a reward and a saving point. So, next round will turn easier.
8. Lecture helps a lot. If you believe it's a Melvin in a sad mood, you lecture him and then see he puts a funny face, it means it's a trap! The difficult ones are when Melvin becomes ANNOYING (gets angry, touches boobs, makes tantrum, cries) or BIPOLAR, because bombs and illusion can act ANNOYING. However, if you lecture an annoying Melvin, he will act cynical, or become scared, while the traps will act weird.
9. Mxyztplk will ALWAYS act like the real Melvin. Hugging, most of the time (unless he's in annoying mood) reveals a Melvin, because he will go happily walking. Mxyz and traps will react as pricks.
10. Traps have a random mood that triggers all reactions. So, there's a chance odds play against you and a bomb behaves exactly as a happy Melvin, even you lecture him! To avoid this, you can hug him, or inspect peepee to confirm. The problem is that if you talked to much, it may trigger the trap. Anyway, the safest action will be kick or punch.
OK. These are my last tips. If there are enough patron still frustrated, I can make a very easy version with saving allowed everytime...

I think I know what happens. Probably you made an accidental click while the dice are rolling. It's because for the dice rolls, I made it with button animations instead of images. It was to cheat some limitations of the software I use.

2022-10-11 00:06:33 +0000 UTCThanks for writing. It's kinda weird how Mary Marvel rolls. I programmed it as a random variable between 2 and 12, nothing special, just as Supergirl rolls. When I played it, it was so weird that MM always begin with an 11 or 12. Sometimes I believe gadgets have life of their own and love to make our lives difficult. LOL. Maybe what really happens is that MM begins with Power +1, and it reality, it's a +2, because I put that with a tie, enemy wins. This is what makes it feel really difficult.

2022-10-10 23:40:09 +0000 UTCOops, last comment posted before I was done with my thoughts. What I was going to say is that I like the game, even if I do share some of the frustrations other people have expressed. (How the fuck does Mary Marvel roll double 6s three times in a row? Which one of Solomon, Hercules, Achilles, Zeus, Ajax, or Mercury is giving her THAT fuckin' power?) The premise is enjoyably goofy, feeling very much like a Silver Age comics storyline. All your games are good at not taking themselves too seriously, acknowledging that yes, this is just kinky, self-indulgently smutty fun. I like how sorting out which Melvin is which feels like the kind of simple logic puzzle I always loved as a kid. I especially love the notion of the Spankingverse, again for its honest self-indulgence. Yes, let's have a universe full of infinite stories in which every situation is resolved by strong women putting naughty little boys across their knees! Love it!
