Since they got finished basically the same day and are from the same developer, I decided to mix the two’s post. These are some… odd games.

Story-

Nut-4

A girl, late to college, has a collision with a magic squirrel, fusing the squirrel to her shirt. After the squirrel makes the girls boobs bigger by getting upset, you get the save the world magical girl spiel. Get nuts before the hamsters, save the world. Or more specifically, save your only friend. Who also becomes a magical girl. To defeat the Saturday morning sexy villainess and save the world. It’s very simple.

Bunny-3

None really? The girls got drunk after work for 3 days in a row and just stagger home. The game ends on introducing a fourth girl so I imagine their will be a 2nd proper game in the series that’s more like the original.

The romance got tossed entirely for the girls to actually interact with each other, something they basically never did in the original game. Which is used to justify them talking about their boobs and butts way more. Also they started a skin care routine with lotion that is 100% suppose to be sperm. It often feels like it’s trying to hard.

Gameplay-

Nut-6

Pac-man basically. You run through increasingly larger mazes collecting all the nuts in the level while a bunch of giant hamsters of a few varieties hunt you down. At certain intervals of nuts the girl’s bust/butt will increase based on where the squirrel is, this does nothing gameplay wise.

You have 3 items to help you out. A speed up, a healing item, and a hamster wheel that is basically a super pellet/super star to fight back with. There’s traps tossed down throughout the level and speed up pads. Ever 10th level is a boss fight where you grab some golden nuts to power up a shot to defeat the King Hamster.

That’s it really. 50 levels, then do that 50 again on hard mode for another cg I didn’t care for.

Bunny-4

Drunken ambling obstacle course with minigames. You speed up by holding forward, and control left and right with shoulder buttons. You control her speed and turning, not her walking at all. All 3 girls control the same, they just get different levels. There’s 3 for each girl, so 9 total, 2 difficulties each.

After a level you play a quick minigame. First level is drinking water by timing holding a button, second is matching inputs while the girl tries to get their big butts out of a manhole, and finally timing inputs while the girl struggles to get out of a dryer she went into head first. There’s also the yoga and lotion minigames, these are just mash a button.

As for the main levels, all contact hurts you. You basically amble the girl through the level collecting panties and dodging terrain stuff like bikes, boxes, crows, and cars. Or knee high instant death pits. The panty collectables basically guide you to the end of the level. I found it mostly easy outside walking across some of the pits and getting stuck in collision loops with cars/bikers.

The thing that adds replay to the game is the panty gacha at the end of a level. All the ones you found are turned into wearable pairs based on the level and rarity of the pickup, and getting all 108 different pairs unlcoks the last outfit in the game for the 3 girls. Thankfully you are told where which pair is in the levels, and I think patch 1 upped the new pair rate. I got a new pair every 2 attempts after the patch and went 5 with nothing before it.

Lewdness-

Nut-4

So going by the first cg and the gameplay, you’d think the game would focus on expansion(boobs and butt) stuff right? Nope. After that first cg it’s barely brought up. No other cg outright uses it. They are definitely bigger in some cgs then other, but it’s barely a thing. Butt growth is a gameplay thing only, the whole concept of the rear mode is never brought up in story(which is really sad, this is the only English ecchi game to have that). If it wasn’t for the defeat clothes ripping images, I’d struggle to consider this sexier then Sentimental Death Loop.

Honestly, the hottest cg in the game is just the villain standing outside her workplace.

Bunny- 8

It’s just way more then the first game. All the romance stuff got tossed for the girls to talk about their boobs and butts way more often, they are drunk so they have that kind of sexy going on. They do some silly and dumb stuff, the bathing cgs are great(though originally there was way to much steam, that got patched), the bar minigames got replaced with the girls getting stuck in some sexual poses and so on.

Basically they cranked the sex appeal focus up by tossing the romance.

Final Thoughts

qureate has to have two dev teams, right? No way the same people who made Sentimental Death Loop and Magical Nut also made beat refle and Merry Bunny Garden. The sex appeal is just way to different in level + the artstyles are completely different.

Anyway, Merry is interesting though I had more fun playing Magical Nut. Merry has better unlocks and is honestly over the top silly with its content, while Ikuno might as well be all ages for what it brings to the table perv wise. Story wise both are basically nonexistent.

Also, for the sake of organization, I guess Merry Bunny Garden would be a racing game? There’s no jumping, it has a timer, and it’s basically racing through an obstacle course. I could just stick with drunken walking sim, but that’s annoying for organizing stuff.

Save for Magical Nut Ikuno

All levels S ranked, all cgs and profile images unlocked.

Save for Merry Bunny Garden

All cgs, minigames, panties, and outfits unlocked.

Nut = Gameplay: 6/10 Eroticness: 4/10 Story: 4/10

Bunny Garden = Gameplay: 4/10 Eroticness: 8/10 Story: 3/10

Completion:

All panties in Bunny was gacha hell, replaying all of Magical Nut for a single cg wasn’t really worth it. Those are the hardest challenges of each game, neither is hard to finish.
