Deleted older versions as inferior, sorry if someone lost their saves thanks to that.

This is flash version of the game, wouldn't surprise me if most people won't even be able to play this as browsers are actively blocking flash already.

Go to itch.io page and download the proper standalone version, I can almost promise it works better.

Is there some trick to beating the second boss?

just a dumb question because i dont know WHY are they blocking flash ?
i dont really know why can someone enlight me pls ?

if you're going to download it to play it, then why not download the standalone version at the source...? (like what mairo mentioned) it isn't a flash exclusive game.

the "annoying" music (Party at the Doghouse and Chungo Shop themes) only happens if you set the custom controls to arrow keys. (it's an in-joke stemming back to when people used to harass me for custom controls)

If it's the same as the last version then you dodge the spinning tentacle then when the eye comes up hit it then dodge the spinning things again then wait for the eye then hit it and repeat until he dies

What changed from this one because from how it seems it's a 100% re-upload from the last one........

Dunnno said:

Just stay at a good distance from the tentacle once it spawns?

Golly, if only there were a log of some sort containing a list of changes........

In the time it took you to write that question, you could've answered it yourself by reading the description.

anyone got the cheatcodes?

Unfortunately I liked Thirstchasm, I don't like his new game.

Yes, Tailbound (in it's current state) is a weaker game than Thirstchasm. Tailbound: Teaser was just made to help me learn GMS2 (which is a completely new game engine to me.) I wrote this post though, saying that I plan on re-doing the game from scratch in order to make it more fun and interesting.

Change the controls to "F U C K M E" to enable getting toppled with every hit, and I think the only other one is setting the controls to arrow keys to mess with the music

This game puts me in a bad mood. Real bad.
Not because it's difficult, but because it's being difficult. It's hard for the wrong reasons is what I'm saying.

how am i supposed to get the other scenes when i topple an enemy? ive only been able to beat them and get toppled

i love this game but honestly i can't tell under what conditions you gain energy back

this game is racist, i can't play with my azerty keybord.

Dentyy said:

you gain energy when you are toppled and fucked, and you gain exp when you kill or do the fucking.

the only way to gain health is to get hit and fucked...I hate that.

Dunnno said:

or you can just dodge and attack, you can get the boss attack timing easily.

I really like the game play in this- It's unfortunate it's so short. :/

Nice game, but too short and very repetitive. The maps are definitely too big.

Dunnno said:

Dodge.

cute sexy love it

You need put the game on a paralel window.

too bad i don't got windows

Proton, Lutris, WINE, etc. has exsisted for a while now and seems to work pretty well with Game Maker games.
Additionally Flash projector is available for Linux, so if all everything fails, use that with this flash version.

found this recently, seems to be going great, all of the animations were good, i did expect the sword to have a 180 degree swing range, but it didn't take much getting used to, great way to spend time considering i'm stuck here due to covid-19, this was good in both the game sense and porn sense, great job

Great little game and I love the retro feel.

Also anywhere I can get the music? Has a real Unreal/Deus Ex vibe and I like it!

I love the fact that you have the option of actually playing the game instead of making it into a rape frenzy

I like how there are sex scenes for actually playing and winning in the game, most games like this you have to intentionally lose, which never sounded like good game design to me.

Played the boring and hard route of keeping the clothes on, meaning also no chance of healing. Was slightly surprised there was no reward or alt ending cutscene. Still, I can't wait for his new game he's working on.

I love losing to the first boss

Good game! I 100%ed it today.
I recommend downloading the game from itch.io, and reading the game manual PDF before you play.
BTW, every cutscene you view is unlocked in there gallery later on, so you can focus on the gameplay to unlock stuff and save your JO session for once everything's unlocked, if you prefer it that way. I'd recommend it, since the reflexes and strategy in this game isn't exactly easy.

yeah no, it's fucking bull shit..

lol "fuzzy pickles" as an an answer opinion. Someone played EarthBound.

I personally find this game not that much fun. I mean the animations are great and I really enjoy the toppling mechanic but the core fighting is just plain. The sword attack is cumbersome since it can only be directed in four directions instead of eight, the game always starts you with the base powers which are quite boring and if you have special attacks they are not well balanced. I mean you can either do a little more damage or have a sword throw that kills everything. Or you have to options to skip the level in the first place.
Which brings me to my main point, there is nothing to do! There is no reason why I should fight the enemy. To get exp? Why? To kill more enemies?
I can't even enjoy being on the receiving end since your energy does not regenerate between levels.
This game lacks something like loot. Or some nice environments, like a bdsm dungeon where you are dragged too if you loose your energy. So you have to clear that area as soon as possible to drag the goblins there instead. Or some fountain of viagra that gives you the need to fuck five enemies before your balls explode. Just something that makes you engage the enemies.

Now, I know that I will get a lot of hate for this since this is an objectively nice free game. But I really believe that one or two minor tweaks, like in the fighting mechanic, could make this game so much better.

Yeah, you're exactly right. The game was only really made so I could try making something with combat similar to Link's Awakening (which I think I ultimately achieved, though it's very janky and slow compared to LA) Enemies were always designed to be completely optional since, all in all, it is just a porn game where the main objective is to collect every scene. Most of the mechanics that aren't related to scenes were just afterthoughts added in 2.0 and onwards. (Hence why most of the abilities are just OP garbage) The only part where I don't think you're correct is not being able to enjoy being on the "receiving end", since IIRC collecting submissive scenes is how you replenish energy.

I'm not working on this game anymore though, (even if I wanted to I couldn't work on it any further without re-making it from scratch in a new engine, since I hit the limits of what HaxeFlixel is capable of handling rather quickly) so I can't really fix many of the core design issues present in the game. However, I have been working on a new game called Moontide for a while now, which is a spiritual successor of sorts. (Except it doesn't have porn and isn't a roguelike) So far, it fixes a lot of the jank-factor present in TC and offers a lot on what TC left to be desired. But, I doubt anyone will really play it once it comes out since it's not TC and it's not porn.

No porn??? Now I have grounds for some real critic!
No but seriously, this was already an impressive demo. I think you will do great with your new game as long as you give the player a reason to fight. Loot or something. If you ever want to do another pron game I would recommend to build in a mechanic that is less murdery and more sexy. Just to prevent some wired accidents at the next orgy. Or you could go with the exploding ball thing. Heck, you could even make it a form of locomotion.

how do I nopt die from enemies? do i just let them fuck me?

the only porn game you can easily play one handed 10/10

You know, this game might actually be fun if enemies were restricted to the same clunky-ass cardinal controls you were. And couldn't dash across the entire room in an instant.

sorry that i didn't think to program analog movement for a 4 button control scheme.

carpetwurm said:

You misunderstand; the issue's not that the player doesn't have analogue movement, it's that the enemies do. Which is further compounded upon by the cumbersome attack that only covers 90 degrees in one of four directions, while the enemies can hit you from any angle. I mean, you even acknowledge this yourself:

carpetwurm said:

The reason it feels so janky compared to Link's Awakening is because of two important details:

1. The most important factor, I think, despite how subtle it is: when moving diagonally in Link's Awakening, you continue facing the initial direction you were originally moving in. I.e., if you're holding down Right on the D-Pad and then hold down Up, you'd start moving upwards and to the right while still facing to the right. In this game, when you move diagonally, you only ever face either up or down. Always. This is incredibly awkward when your attack only covers 90 degrees and is entirely dependent on which direction you're facing--even moreso when that attack is also your only practical means of defense.

2. Enemies in Link's Awakening very rarely move faster than Link, and regardless of their speed, the ones that attack Link up close do so by constantly moving directly at him. They don't lunge across the screen and end up behind Link and then repeat this attack ad nauseam, they stay up close and aggressive, moving at the same speed. Any enemies that are faster than Link--Peahats, those weird bomb things, those annoying Mini-Moldorms, Anti-Fairies--don't actually move straight at him, they follow a semi-random path. (Plus, Link can actually hold his sword out to hit something moving towards him rather than having to time the swing, and has a spin-attack mechanic that was specifically designed to help deal with the fact that you can only attack at specific 90 degree angles).

Here's the thing, like I said in the second post you quoted, I've already fixed a lot of this jankiness in Moontide (and ultimately, Tailbound as well, since that's using Moontide as a base.) I didn't feel like typing out a thoughtful rebuttal to your initial comment, because in my experience so far with hateful Thirstchasm commenters it hasn't been worth it. Thirstchasm's enemies are awful, and so is a lot of the movement/combat itself, probably because I was using a lot of HF's "velocity" variables. (Which in hindsight wasn't the best idea, given the engine didn't have any documentation for doing your own physics.) Thirstchasm was my first time ever making a sort of action game like this, so to say I was inexperienced would be an understatement.

I feel like if you don't like the game, then just don't play it. I don't understand the point in leaving a negative comment with no real substance. (Let me guess, making a vague complaint about a two year old flash game counts as "criticism", right? Give me a break.)

The second comment was absolutely criticism. As for the initial comment, the point of leaving it was the same reason anyone else leaves negative comments: I was frustrated with the game and being a salty lil' bitch lol. (But I mean, to be fair, it still "had substance" since it was about an actual mechanic I didn't like...)

Don't know who's going around down-voting your half of the conversation by the way; I'm flattered people agree with me but seriously guys, that should be reserved for comments that are actually breaking rules and/or inflammatory...

Okay? But my comment was only referring to your first comment, not your second one. While your second comment does have well thought out criticism and substance, there's nothing there for me to respond to because, like I said, literally everything you're complaining about has already been fixed in the sequel game that I'm currently working on. But just writing out a shitty mean-spirited take, then following it up with a "but ACTUALLY here's why you're WRONG" sort of criticism post doesn't make you a good person.

I don't know why I have to constantly re-iterate this, but the game's just old. I've learned from it, there's nothing else left to be said about it. If you'd take the time to look into what I'm currently doing, instead of focusing on this shitty prototype from 2018 back when I was just getting back into gamedev you'd see that. I don't really know why I'm typing out this response when I know it's just going to make me more upset than I already am, I'm just pissed off and tired of seeing everyone always taking a random shitty hot takes side over my own when we're both saying the same exact thing.

Why do the little white beings in the factory look like Mimiga?

I really enjoyed playing this, and I'm not even gay.
Collecting all possible scenes took a while, and was quite challenging with the NPCs, but fun, afterall.
The low-res pixel graphics is cool, the whole game looks and feels like someone in the early 90s made a furry porn game, and it's awsome.
Thank you for making this, Carpetwurm!

I'll be honest, this game is the biggest thing I'll miss with 2021 no longer supporting Flash. I've been playing it a bunch the last few days knowing it's going to be gone in about a week. It's been a fun, sexy experience, and it'll be missed.

So long, Thirstchasm

did you even look at the source?

The music reminds me a lot of those composed by Alexander Brandon, for games: Jazz Jackrabbit 2/3, the first Unreal or the very first Deus ex.

R.I.P. Adobe flash... now I'll only see this game via videos. ;-;

you can run it through wine, or just download adobe's standalone flash player and the game's .swf file from this page. iirc the game's also on flashpoint, which is an archive of flash games and flash player. it isn't hard to access at all, and it's not going anywhere

Anyone have the newest version?
