Pussymon episode 20, right. I fired it up on a shitty laptop that wheezes when you open more than two tabs and honestly the whole thing runs smooth as butter which is more than I can say for some triple A garbage I paid sixty bucks for last month. The teleport system they added, you just click it from your bag and bam you're at the volcano. No walking. I forgot I had it for like twenty minutes and kept trudging through the same forest path three times before I remembered. That's on me though.

The volcano area is where Blazgodon used to live and there's something genuinely funny about rolling up to this fire creature's old home and just... collecting pussymon there. Seven new ones this time, Viflameber and Viflamemja got new interactions too which I won't spoil but let's say the animations are doing things I didn't expect from a flash game. 25 new animations total. Some of them are rough around the edges, the loop points feel a bit janky on a couple, but the jank kind of adds to the whole unpolished charm this series has always had. The mysterious woods near Halloween town, I don't know man, I got lost in there for a while and not in a fun way. The map layout is confusing but then you stumble on a new pussymon and suddenly you don't care anymore.

The story is moving along I guess, there's dialogue that made me snort once or twice, mostly because of how direct it is about what's happening. No pretense. You're here to catch these creatures and fuck them, the game knows it, you know it. The teleport thing should've been in earlier episodes honestly, backtracking was a pain before. Oh and the bag interface is still kind of clunky, I kept clicking the wrong item because the hitboxes feel off. Not a dealbreaker. The volcano map has this lava glow effect that's actually pretty nice against the darker backgrounds. Anyway Blazgodon's old place has some secrets I haven't figured out yet, there's a corner that looks like it should do something but maybe it's just decoration. I'll poke at it more later.
