flutter shy is forever alone but not in this game
Reviews for "M.S.A.: Fluttertime!"
Being bi leaning towards gay and really really bored, I decided to anally review an erotic heterosexual game, so here you are.
Sounds 2/5
The music got somewhat repetitive, and a lack of a mute function was annoying. The voice acting, or rather oohs and ahhs, were decent, but they were on a short loop, which was annoying. Randomizing them would have made it a bit better.
Storyline/writing 2/5
The story was pretty typical, and obviously games like this aren't typically expected to have a decent story, but nevertheless I can't help but point out the lack of creativity. Also I assume this was a typo but at the end one of the girls said 'Should I remember you that we are "anthros" '. Should I remember you, no, should I REMIND you, yes.
Gameplay 1/5
Not really a game, no decisions are actually made besides moving onto the next looped animation which becomes available to you based on a timer. It would have been nice to actually be able to make decisions, instead of being pulled along where ever you decide the game should go.
Fun factor 3/5
I realise I'm in a position where I'd be less likely to find this interesting than a normal person would, so I gave you one extra point on this. While I did find it mildly arousing, I did not find it worth masturbating to.
Overall 2/5
Pretty mediocre. If you made an identical game that was not about sex, it would get blown out of the water. The reasonable score comes from horny twelve year olds and desperate virgins. Not really an accomplishment.

Thanks for the feedback :D However, I'm sad to point out that this review is pretty deficient (or should I say lacking) in way too many aspects as for me to take it to heart. Let me give you my reasons:
1) Your review misses a point that is essential to any review based on a graphical game such as this one: Artwork.
You haven't made a single mention to the whole illustrative content, which is 60% of the game, minimum. Moreover, I'm widely known to be an illustrator who does games very rarely, so not judging the quintessential core of what's displayed here seems like a rather big slip on your attempted review.
2) You forgot to evaluate yet another critical point of any flash based game (and even more if it's a hentai one): Animation.
Again, you totally miss one of the most relevant factors of the game itself in order to deviate your focus towards the supporting aspects, such as music, gameplay (and gameplay in hentai games is usually... pretty non-existent, with some rare exceptions). I don't want to say your review is intentionally mean spirited, but it's evidently either biased because of a prior judgement, or a result of a personal lack of experience regarding detailed, constructive feedback. Either way, it's really lacking in many key points.
3) One of the big problems you focus on, even when it might be somewhat accurate for some people, isn't really optional nor intentional, but a result of lack of space due to NG file size limitations. I'm talking about the issue you named as "repetitive music". I can't fill the game with different musical options. Putting two scores there made the flash weight 7MB extra. That's almost half of the file size alone. The file needs space for music, sound effects, images (more than 250 individual PNGs sawn together into pretty heavy animations), scripting and text.
It's understandable that you didn't knew this because you don't deal with this kind of technical details as artists and programmers do, but it doesn't make the reclaim any less unreasonable. You work within the limitations you're given. You can't ask a 20MB game to run, work and display as a 5GB game.
4) Giving 1 out of 5 for gameplay... for a game which isn't intended to be heavy on gameplay...? Really? And even then, you're mistaken on your last point. The game let's you replay each one of the scenes you have unlocked once you reached the final one (as most hentai games do, that's the way they work). My guess is that you didn't pay attention to that detail, maybe out of boredom because, as you stated, you're more prone to homosexuality than heterosexuality, thus making the content of the game itself mostly unappealing to you. Either way, I'm sorry to tell you that THAT specific point is just false.
5) Your fun factor score, even if it was the "biggest" of them all, is still biased. You said it yourself, you're more into guys than girls... well yeah, of course it won't appeal to you as much... this game isn't for you... it's about having sex with girls xD
6) Your last affirmation about the audience which approves this game was really peyorative and... truth be told, I don't take that kind of disrespectful approach very well, either if it's directed towards me or the people who supports me. If you want your future reviews to be taken seriously, please reconsider your attitude. It comes off as arrogant... and nobody is really interested in taking to heart such a hostile kind of observation.
Overall: Next time you decide to make a review, either favorable or unfavorable, please bear in mind the observations I just gave you. I'm sure your future reviews will be more constructive and useful that way ^^
Have a really nice day :D
Thankfully this is them as Humans instead of Ponies or I would put quite the comment on here. Considering the MLP Ponies wouldn't have sex considering they are Underage. But seeing as how Fluttershy is a Human on here I can't argue with that otherwise.
Not particularly good art, incredibly shitty bullshit hentai storyline. In fact, general shitty to mediocre everything.
Yes, I know it was made as soulless porn, but I am still allowed to dislike it because of that.
Fatelogic responds:
You're allowed to dislike it, of course... the same way I'm allowed to not give two fucks about your thoughts xD
If you would have stated your arguments respectfully enough, maybe, but as it is, shove it up your ass xD
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
