Am I the only one having trouble buying this game? I keep selecting pay with card, but it never lets me buy the game. It just takes me to a screen saying you are paying $5.00 to play Softie Stuffers.

I’m not sure what’s going on there, you’ll need to talk to Itch support about that. You need an Itch account, if you aren’t already using one. I’m sorry about the trouble!

Also, as an aside, until I say so, slots for YCHs are still open!

I played through the whole game, and I have some thoughts
Basic gameplay loop is super fun, reminds me a lot of the original Mario game, which is certainly the intention, and it kept me engaged throughout. Reminds me of old NES games where I’ll yell and be mad then play the game for another hour.
Sound design is really solid too, a rarity for WG projects.
Art is very cute, and the animations are too. Especially the transition cutscenes, which were adorable.
On that topic though… my one complaint. There honestly isn’t enough art put in to justify the price tag, in my opinion. I fully respect that indie games, especially for what’s essentially a solo dev in an insanely niche market, is time and sometimes money intensive. I also respect that it’s a great thing to monetize it! I want to give you money for making cool stuff like this. But I feel that slightly more elaborate cutscenes, or more weight stages for feedees, or weight progression throughout, even just having the dragons in the bonus games gain weight, some art thing to make it more elaborate and fitting, would have made it feel a lot more worth my money.
Regardless of that fact, I’m considering putting in for a YCH, since I love the art and the game, and absolutely would do so if the game ever gets a content/art update in the future. Keep making great games!

Thank you for the feedback, tbh! I haven’t gotten much so far. .w."
I may work on adding more or updating the art over time, since I do plan on updates to add in YCHs. I can probably add the weight gain for Azalea and Sophie, seeing as I only held back on that to keep the game in-scope for the first release; it was something I did want to do to begin with, but I ran out of time. If I add or change something big like that, I’ll be sure to point it out in that update’s Devlog! (edit: added!)
Adding in more weight stages for feedees, however, ended up slowing the game’s pace too much and added some frustration when I was testing - so it was scrapped outright very early on. I did want to do it, but I found it just wasn’t as fun to play with, sadly.

Version 1.0.2 is up! Adds another playable character, another feedee, and adds stages of weight gain for Azalea and Sophie during the Bonus Stages. Also squashes a minor audio bug. Feel free to check it out!

Version 1.0.3 is up! Fixes a bug relating to characters that should’ve been in the vore minigame not showing up, and attempts a fix to the rare event of you throwing food and it just completely whiffing. Let me know if it still happens, but I couldn’t replicate it anymore after my fix.

OKAY! So it’s been a while!
The game’s getting a Steam release on the 19th, for those who wanted it - I’m so sorry it took so long! It’s also been tested on Steam Deck, and while I was unable to get it “verified” (I’m unsure of the process), it does work just fine according to the test results.
I’ve added a bunch of little updates to the game, including some bug fixes that hadn’t been reported to me. I’ll have the full details up on my website’s blog when the game’s up on Steam, but anyone who bought the game on Itch will be getting all the upgrades the Steam release is getting, barring any Steam-specific features (such as the Steam Leaderboards, and some Steam Input-related Controller Upgrades like special light-up colors if your controller has a lightbar on it). I’ve also updated the way the game handles “hot-plugging”, so you should be able to just plug in two controllers while the game is running, and play co-op without any issues (this also means Steam Co-op and rebinding in general should work great now)!
I’ll also be re-opening slots for YCHs - playable characters will be contingent on how many slots get submitted, but feedee slots will be more plentiful. I’ll have more details (and the submission form with prices) posted on the 19th on that same release blog post on my website. You’ll be able to find it here: https://softfoxxo.neocities.org/
Thank you to everyone who supported the original release - it really meant a lot to me at the time, and it helped me gain some confidence in my skills a bit, even if it wasn’t perfect. I’m trying my best to do things right by keeping the original version updated (it’s not even a bother on my part due to some pre-planning for it), but I’ll still keep the last “pre-Steam” build (v1.0.4) available even as things update.
