The coin catching feels like shit. There, I said it. On this tropical island with a real model doing a striptease under a waterfall, the actual arcade part is floaty and unresponsive. She starts dancing, the music kicks in, and dollar bills start falling. You move your little hand icon to grab them. Miss too many and the strip progression halts. Hit the quota and her top comes off. The physics of the money drops make no sense, they'll sometimes just clip through the hand model. Frustrating as hell.

But then the next piece of clothing comes off and you forget about it. The model they got has this look, right, this smirk like she knows exactly what a dumb game this is and she's still in control. The waterfall setting is clever because the water makes her skin shiny. You get these close ups during the catcher segments that are genuinely hot. The way the wet fabric clings right before it disappears. There's a specific moment when she turns around and the lighting hits her back, and I just let the coins fall, didn't even care about the score. The game punishes you for that by the way, the progress bar drops fast if you zone out.

Award for "Most Unnecessary Difficulty Spike in a Strip Game." The first two stages are baby mode, you could play with your eyes closed. Then suddenly it's raining coins at triple speed and she's barely moving. No middle ground. I threw my phone onto the couch twice. The strip catcher mechanics are so bare bones it's almost insulting, but that one shot of her in the waterfall with the transparent shirt half off... I replayed the level three times just for that. The real model integration works precisely because the game around it is so aggressively mediocre. It feels like a weird art project about desire and bad UI design.
