The game's story revolves around a protagonist and his childhood friend Aoi, featuring over 250 levels where the narrative often becomes repetitive and lacks depth, primarily focusing on the absurdity of battling a "panty demon" to save various female characters. While the colorful graphics and atmospheric music enhance the experience, the storytelling is criticized for its monotony and lack of meaningful development, making it less appealing for those seeking a compelling narrative. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop to the match-three gameplay rather than a central focus, leading to mixed reviews regarding its quality.
“The game contains over 250 levels that have a main story with your childhood friend Aoi, which occasionally branches off into other girls' stories.”
“The story parts are either accompanied by very atmospheric background music or some lively tunes motivating you to destroy the panty demon, which blends very well with the laid-back display we get offered here.”
“The story, as stated, is bizarre - yet everything is very colorful, both in terms of the sprites and graphics of this game.”
“In between each level, we do get short story parts that eventually become heavily monotonous, as in: the same display portrayed with a female character being attacked by the panty demon and our protagonist having to free his friends by enrolling into the puzzle game (aka his battle) we are here to play.”
“As mentioned before, the base story is the same for a very long amount of time, and while being presented with a huge variety of female characters we come to meet, at each step the main character takes, the outcome is that the panty demon will show up in order to attack the girls.”
“Not recommended if you are looking for a visual novel offering a quality story.”

The gameplay features a gradual introduction of complex mechanics that maintain engagement throughout the approximately 24 hours of playtime, primarily centered around match-three puzzles. However, players should be aware that while the core mechanics are enjoyable, other aspects, particularly the storytelling, may detract from the overall experience.
“As you progress, the game will gradually add more and more complex mechanics that keep the game always feeling fresh and engaging.”
“Recommended for those who enjoy match-three puzzles, as it's the core of the game mechanics.”
“All of this lasts around 24 hours of gameplay, with not much being offered in terms of the development of the stated story.”
“Recommended for those who enjoy match-three puzzles as it's the core of the game mechanics, but remember that all the other aspects of the product present various negative traits such as the storytelling.”

“It's difficult and challenging levels, as well as its charming art style, should satisfy most interested players.”
“There is a donation, but only for the visuals of 'tiles', which can also be unlocked by just playing.”
