So it's only episode 1 for now, which is effectively the tutorial and getting to know all the characters over the course of a few days. The game claims it takes 5 weeks, so episode 1 is only a small part, but gives a pretty clear impression of how the game will work.

Hey everybody, this game has finally made into it's "Remastered" Edition and let me tell you, it's still terrible. One thing I see thrown around is that the old version had a good plot, that's not true. The first version has a lot of the same problems I listed in my FIRST review of this visual novel. The characters are all just assembly line stereotypes or they have nothing to make them stand out from the others and they all just want to pull their knickers down for you as soon as they meet you. The sounds are at a bare minimum and they couldn't make the effort for shop doorbell sounds. Overall the "plot" is just an excuse to throw various sex scenes at you, there's little to no character in these people at all, it's just not worth your money. This visual novel is a great example of what I think of the studio who made this game: Dharker Studios. Overall their visual novels are incredibly manipulative and lazy, preying on the market of horny guys or girls with their overly "enthusiastic" character art. (Which basically means their breasts are the size of a bus.) With little to no story and rushed, forced sex scenes that are obviously there not because it fits, but to make money. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

My old list of problems I still think is relevant:

1. The characters, events and dialogue in this game are not good AT ALL whatsoever. There's this big emotional moment in this game having to do with a certain character's health condition and it's only focused on once and is not emotional AT ALL! The characters just accept this and carry on with their daily lives not giving a CRAP about someone's very serious health condition.

2. No matter what you do each of the girls will come to you in a specific order and ask you to screw them. You still get a choice, but even if you avoid them the whole game they still come to you claiming they "love you" and that they want to screw you and be in bed with you... WHY! To make the donators happy? That's no excuse!

3. There are NO SOUNDS FOR SHOP DOORBELLS! Come on, no sounds for shop doorbells? There's no sounds for any common noises or actions that you could easily just get.

4.The dialogue is forced, rushed and a bit sloppy, it never feels like an actual conversation it just feels awkward and unreal as these conversations are so non-emotional and quick there's hardly any time for the characters to describe themselves well. Topping it off with spelling errors like "conffused" or "dokter"

5. I don't feel any emotion to ANY of the events or characters described because the game forces them along like they are NOTHING!

6. The characters are all one note wonders and are not complex at all.

Edit: Now that the remastered version is out, I still can't recommend the game and IMO it is even worse than the original version.
If you really really want it, it is available on a bundle with 12 other games for a merely $ 2.99 (until price rises).

The remastered version lacks a lot of scenes where you would be introduced into the settings of this VN, it feeld rushed as there still are some spelling errors a proofread would have caught as they are very obvious (e,g. a uniform, your instead of you're etc).
But the most weightened point why the remastered version can't be recommended is that some/a lot of scenes available in the original game were omitted in the remastered version leaving the player without much information about the story.
As I played the original game it somehow made sense, but honestly a player new to the remastered version will have some difficulties getting into the story.

***********************************************************************************************************
Original review.

After enjoying Sword of Asumi quite a bit I've been looking forward to buy this game hoping for some similar enjoyment.

But boy, I was completely wrong!

This game feels rushed as the plot is very shallow (so far), everything is thrown in your face without much hesitation or even creating any atmosphere.
The introduction to the girls working on that resort is so quick that you do not get any impression of them. The dialogues feel clumsy and emotionless so that you click forward hoping that the next screen will bring that 'Wow!' effect, but unfortunately, it won't happen.

The other downside is the very bad spelling/grammar throughout the text. It is riddled with spelling mistakes.
Don't get me wrong, I am used to VNs with some spelling mistakes and I do make a fair share of spelling mistakes too, but in this game there are so many of them that it's impossible (for me) to pass over them.
It seems that the text hasn't been proofread at all and that the author might not be a native speaker.

The music is quite nice, but gets repetitive soon so you want to turn it off after a while.
The art style is nice and well drawn and it features some cute girls.

I have clocked two hours into the game so I am at the limit for asking a refund but I guess I won't do it because devs can improve on the story/dialogues for part 2 and 3 and spelling mistakes can be corrected.

But at the present state I do not recommend to buy this game.

Average game, good for passing the time if you like these sorts of things. Some awkward dialogue, exposition dumps and grammar errors but nice artwork and likeable characters.

so far in episode 1 it was ok nothing to write home about i kind of want to say to try it out
also why is this tagged as a horror i didnt get any horror vibes from it

First of all...I like episode games, so this game triggered my interest right away, even when i read the negative reviews.

ok...The game is a story with clicking on different choices to change the outcome of the story.
The downs with this game episode, is that it is VERY SHORT. Its more getting to know the characters.
Very few choices to make and a long intro is a major down, but on the positive side, I like the artwork, the different characters and their story. The game has both serious and funny times. I hope the 2 episodes that follow will be alot larger, to be worth playing (first episode ended too quickly), and that the rest of the episodes will have more options on what choices to make at different scenes. I eagerly await the next episode.

The drowings are so bad. The plot is boring at the begining. Also some dialpgs in english are really bad. 4 example: "This will is your room..."
I would not recomend this game to anyone.

(4/10)
Not a full game. Would recommend waiting till more chapters/episodes are released.

Plot and characters are clearly still in development but art style is refreshingly different and would like to see more in addition to seeing how choices affect the story. The romance scenes are lacking in interest and originality.

At this point I cannot recommend and would suggest wait buying until it's completed.

Episode 1 is mostly about getting to know the characters in the game and some backstory. Like everyone else whom have stated in the reviews that this game should've been in the demo as it was too short, atleast the game ended with a cliffhanger which makes me excited for what Episode 2 & 3 has to offer.

I've changed this review completly as the game has changed totally. Despite what some have said this is a much better game, but you must (should) get the patch, free from his web site. If the start screen doesn't say uncensored version then it's not adult. If you're looking for a non-adult vn then this probably isn't for you.

A lot of different endings, track your progress through the unlocked images in the gallery.

Be sure to check the text options to get the speed and style of play you're looking for.

This is now worth it. Of course improvements could be made, we don't all have the same tastes, but this is well worth it, looking forward to more.

This game was never meant for the "all ages" of steam...
I also would give this a neutral however steam only supports yes and no, and I'm going to have to say no as this was very shallow even for a steam visual novel.

Simple review. As of right now, September 1st, 2015, game is realy short. There is not only very few content, but also it is realy easy to "digest," making the gameplay super short. Story wise however, it is like a TV show, but with some choises and interaction. Yes, there is some "nudity," but very minimal, which feels adequate. Overall I recommend this game as a "one to two hours killer" more than anything. First DLC is comming in October, but the wait is really long for the amount of content. Still enjoyable though.

Beach Bounce. Now you might wonder should i buy this game should i not i would wait til episode 2 is out before i think about buying the game considering how short the game is. there aren't very many songs in the game so it tends to repeat some in quite abit of areas but that diddn't concern me cause VN's do that in certain areas all the time before i give my rating i would also like to point out that the R18 patch has scenes that imo could have been done bette
Quality 8/10 (The Sprites were quite well drawn and didn't look bad at all
Sound 5/10 (The music was quite well done only reason i didn't rate it higher is cause of it's repetitiveness)
Story 8/10 (I quite enjoyed the story and how they had an option to go to one place over another)

If you're still not sure about buying it then i've recorded some footage so you can have a look at my Youtube channel where i'm gonna upload more cheap VN's and you can recommend some for me to play so not only can you see if you like it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCABPfSnsfKIrQmnkrgRy_mg

Its alright. The art is not the best and the story is ok so far but a little too fast. Also I noticed that I can't go for some girls yet. I suggest buying the game now while its cheap and play it when its complete.

Remastered Editon Edit

The remastered version is pretty good so far, they did change some of the girls personality like for example in the original version Mineko was very shy and stuttered a LOT but in the remastered version she is very energetic and bold. Changed the story around so it feels like a different experience. So far so good until.....

On the "Aiko" route I noticed that after you play volleyball with her and if you ask her to play on one foot Rei suddenly comes in your room after the game and accuses you of cheating on her even if you didn't romance her. I am confused on why this happens and would like to know if this happened to anyone else. Is this supposed to happen? It makes the game feel incomplete and disappoints me.

I truly love this game. After playing a few visual novels from the one site, I was getting rather tired of seeing a weak storyline being shoehorned into an "adult" natured game. This game isn't like that and I am truly happy I bought it and the storyline is truly worth experiencing.

I highly suggest this game.

--------------------------------------

Update after the patch:

The game is even better but most importantly, it is both longer and flows better than the original version and I still have high reguards for this game.

This is my first VN and as an experienced hentai watcher I have to say this game is a must own for anyone looking for a nice game to play with the lights down low. I would say this game MUST be played with the uncensored patch in order to get the full "experience". Hope I helped at least one person bust a nut. Good Luck

Alright so serious review time, since the game has changed a lot since I last wrote a review on it.

Dharker Studios messed up on the remake, a lot. They changed a lot of what I liked in the original version of the game, and replaced it with generic visual novel BS. They took a decently well crafted video game and made it slightly worse and then put their logo onto it.

Although I'm happy to play the game to get all of the endings, I just feel like the game had a lot more potential and had just been shelled off to generate more money with lackluster writing and story development, as almost everything within this game is simplistic and very straightforward.

I hate to do it but I have to give this game a 5/10. The original was very solid as a whole and I hate to see games be poorly redone with awful writing. The guys at Dharker Studios need to step it up.

In every encounter and with every posible romantic situation there is only dissapointment! This game plays like a case of
erctile disfunction. The description of this game is in need of serious editing and should be more trueful as to the content.

i really enjoyed this visual novel. i like the idea that not only do they release the chapters for free instead of making you buy each one the artwork was amazing. the story caught my attention as well. people fearing change, death, how people react to your actions.

so i really liked this model of when you buy the game the episodes were free to you. i hope more can follow this. i liked there was interaction in the visual novel as well.

7 of 10

was a yes but at this stage i can't vote it.

Edit-Remastered version is out now and i can tell you its clearly not the same as the last one. there were some issues that led to changes in the visual novel. i don't hate the remaster version but im not a huge fan of it either. some of the character changes kinda bothered me and there were a couple errors but still it felt rushed. i wished they kept the similar style and expanded it. it also felt shorter then the actual version so it mean that content was cut big time. in the old one it took a few hours to complete with 2 episodes.

in this version you can beat it in about 2 hours or so. so that is the full content so that means stuff was cut for sure. so sadly this one i would have to rate 5/10. i only recommend it if you buy it in a bundle or on sale. i don't know if this will ever get an update to add more or this is the finished product. i will update this if it does change.

Amazing story. Really had me in all the way from the beginning. The characters are deep, both sexually but they also have a great deal of thought behind them and they are extremely unpredictable in their actions. The main character, Tomoyo, who's past is filled with dark stuff that I don't want to spoil, comes to a beach resort out of nowhere and gets to go to bed with everyone he chooses, both the staff and the guests at the resort. Very lovable I must say, especially if you read his lines in a posh british accent, it makes him feel like some sort of anime version of Hugh Grant.

The only thing that bothered me was the lack of voice acting and animation, especially in the sex scenes. But other than that, solid game 9/10

Korosivv
Korosivv

DO NOT BUY. A terrible story with extremely predictable plot and half-hearted dialogue One character blatently throws out "Oh yeah I'm bisexual" for no reason, and the girls kiss you for no reason within maybe 1 hour of the "story". The backstory to characters are thrown and tossed casually despite how seriously they're meant to be taken. I had a glitch so one girl had her mouth outright fly off her face, and it was always after one specific "serious" moment in the "plot". This game would be SOMEWHAT ok if you saw some fine anime ass, BUT NO, because Steam isn't ok with hentai. You get better plot and more satisfaction playing a Meet&Fuck game on Newgrounds. The worst offense is that this WRECKED my rig, which can easily run Wolfenstien: The New Order and GTA 5 with no problems at all.

I give this title 0 dying grandmas out of 5

I decided to give this another shot after the latest edition. Many of the meaningless choices were removed and the characters are more likeable post rewrite. The music is still a bit sub par and the story while no longer terrible is not really good.

This finally has a finished story and decent artwork. I am changing to a cautious recommendation if you are a fan of harem comedy VNs. Wait for a sale to get the best value for this shortish game.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the rewrite:
Episode One: Decent, a fair number of options and interesting characters, some more likable than others. I was happy enough that I would have suggested it at that point.
Episode Two: Disapointing, it added a bit of content but felt compact and rushed. Some of the character interactions seemed forced.
Episode Three: Overdue, with no new release date.

I am afraid I can't reccomend this game at this point, episode three has to turn out awesome to redeem the hot mess that was Episode 2. The fact that there is no update or word on Ep. 3 makes me worried that it will be rushed or it will never come.

Stay away, save your cash for better VNs there are a ton of them on Steam.

Edit: If you want to see the adult content you have to buy the game somewhere else. This is another strike against it.

This game isnt as bad as some of the comments might lead you to believe. Its worth about £5 so when ita on sale take a look,

The game suffers from being to short and having minimal interaction to affect the plot. Something the developers could work on with part 3

The girls are nice, All a bit too desperate tho.

The remastered version is just a weak and neutered version of the original. Even the uncensored version is heavily censored compared to the original game. I'm really not sure what was going through Dharker Studio's heads when they decided to make it so much tamer after we waited so long for this "remastered" version.

The story really isn't any better and is possibly even worse. It's a real shame because they have some great art but they are afraid to use it. What are they so afraid of? They had absolutely nothing to lose by keeping the large amount of gratuitous nudity that the original version had. But by toning the remastered version down, they have lost this customer. I will never buy a game from them again, all of their games so far are generic and weak. Dharker Studios are either a bunch of idiots or a bunch of prudes, I don't know which is worse, but I do know that they shouldn't be making games like this.

I highly advice you to avoid DharkerStudio (renamed AJTilley) games in future.

I need to clarify a thing first: original owner of AJTilley had disagreement so he changed it to DharkerStudio and unfortunately all good members didnt like the reasons behind it and left the company.

And here is the problem: Beach Bounce was unfinished so DharkerStudio had to assign new guy to finish the game... and unfortunately new game developers in DharkerStudio ABSOLUTELY SUCK.

New developer remade the game from scratch and turned "okayish" VN into TRASH.

Story: story is half-baked at best.

Characters: in original game characters were cute and likeable, in Remastered version almost all characters turned into total S-L-U-T-S. Disturbing.

Art: You cant even fully apreciate "plots", because new author discarded over half of original CGs so content is inadequate. You will discover all CGs only after 3 hours of playing.

Last straw: to download UNCENSOR patch you have to register on DharkerStudio site and you have to wait AGES before they will send you an activation email for your account! So annoying. When people buy game they want to download update ASAP and not wait eternity for slow email bot.

After completing all of the story routes I have to agree with some of the other people in saying that I liked the overall story of the original better (what there was of it anyway) in regards to the back story. It feels like the new writer never look over the original and just did his own thing completely based solely on the art work.

That being said I do like the remastered version it is a vary enjoyable game with lots of choices and different endings to find.

I give it 4/5 and am hopefully looking forward to bunny bounce if they still make it

What the hell did I just play?!

The Beach Bounce that I grew to admire has been replaced with utter GARBAGE!

Those who have never played the original Beach Bounce are going to be confused as fuck! Tomoyo's backstory is gone, how he ended up at the Beach Bounce resort isn't explained at the beginning. New players are going to regret their purchase as they try to figure out just what the hell is going on.

The calm, cool, and collected Tomoyo is gone and replaced with a sad excuse for a human being. The shy and loving Mineko is now replaced with a wild child. Why oh why did you replace Mineko's personality?! WHY! Rei isn't the tsundere I fell in love with, just naturally bitchy instead. Sakura is less a whore but thats what made her character so unique. No one really cares about Nymph. And Minami? She's barely even there. The only person that hasn't changed is Aiko.

Yuuki's professionalism is gone and now she's a total bitch at times.

The story has been replaced and it didn't need to be. The characters are downgraded and a likeable protagonist is now a damn loser.

I wish they had kept the old story and expanded on the end of the 2nd episode. Not give us something with so much grammer errors it's not even funny.

3/10: Terrible. Absolutely terrible. It only escapes being worse because the artwork is beautiful, the new music is perfect during happy and sad moments and there were some moments that were average.

The tagline in the trailor is Have a summer you won't forget. I want to forget this so called summer ever happened. Do not buy, not worth the purchase.

I was an early access purchaser and don't regret doing it, mostly because I love Vision Novels and would like to continue to support English producing VN companys. This Visual Novel was going well during its first two(three?) updates during early access but a bunch of behind the sceens things happened with the company originally developing the game and eventually the property changed hands, the new company then had to start the game from scratch without the funds already earned for the game. Its abit more complicated than that but its the gisit of it. So lets get down to the game itself.

The Art is great, I do enjoy the art style here and do wish there were a few more CGs for all of the characters. The story however is severly lacking due to the rewrite, a couple of characters even had complete personality changes which confused me at first having played the original and it also makes the characters feel pretty similar saddly.

I wouldn't really recommend this game for everyone, however if you're looking for a short VN with some achivements and cards to collect than by all means get the game... Overall I would give this one a 4/10.

i thought the game was not to bad i would recommend it on sale i played like $5 (on the anime weeked sale ) and i think that’s more than fair it has an ok story with good graphics it does have a few grammar and spelling mistakes, but it can easily be overlooked for the price Pont I’m already over 7hours in and I still got a few achievements to do yet so all in all id say give it a try, can be a little short without patch however
p.s i normally dont review my games so thats how much i thik its worth a try on sale

Well, well, well.

Lookie what I got first. (View Achievements) I guess I am my Mother's Son after all....
Gloating aside, please be aware that I arrived late to this party, and while I was not priveleged enough to play the earlier builds, I am aware of It's existence, and all of the entailing drama & controversy.

So, bearing that in mind, what did I think of the game? In all honesty, solidly average. When someone whispers (or shouts) about "Those durn smutty cartoon/anime games!", sadly, Beach Bounce is more than likely (one of many of) the game(s) the yammerer has in mind. And I did go through the trouble to peruse both Steam and Patched versions to make sure I had a complete opinion. And I will say this: the patch is a must. The game just FEELS edited without it, which is the biggest goof a mature subject game can make when releasing an AO version alongside an M/T-rated version(See FATE/Stay Night).

So, which buttion am I pushing? My honest opinion is that the Patched version is a decidely marginal ci, the Steam version edits are too disruptive to the already emaciated storyline to want to push anything but the q button. But I can't push both buttons...

And Steam won't let me push neither. I often wonder about my Steam password, then things like this happen, and I stop wondering.

And so, I toss a coin.....heads.

ci for Beach Bounce
q for Steam being as goose-steppingly inflexible as ever.

The art is beautiful and the music is charming, except when they are trying to be intentionally depressing. There is no voice acting, just text for dialog. There is a story with some serious aspects. The following info about the premise of the story may be a spoiler, so beware. The protagonist, Tomo, is a law school drop-out, on hard times. His grandmother, Umi, owns a beach resort. Umi is in the hospital and seriously ill. She asks Tomo to help out at the resort while she is away. The staff is all beautiful girls and there are no other men around. Part of the plot is that Tomo's grandmother dies in some endings. This is a real downer. They should at least have a funeral for her. There is sex, particularly if you follow the developer's instructions to make it uncensored. These are cute manga-style girls for fun escapism. The interactions with the girls are pretty unrealistic. They basically throw themselves at you. If you want training on how to interact with girls in real life, you won't get that here, for that you might try a different game, for example: Super Seducer instead. Beach Bounce has "good" endings and "bad" endings, presumably based on your choices in the game, although I thought I made pretty good choices and so far just got 2 "bad" endings.

Tbh I don't see why there are so many negative reviews. I thought it was pretty swanky. I do think that $12.99 is a bit pricey, but I got my money's worth. The art is pretty good, and I like that there are multiple endings, so the replay value is high enough. The soundtrack was ok, nothing special though, and I really wish that there was a chat log, so you could go back and re-read some of the text. Overall, I think that it's a pretty good VN, and would recommend it.

Overall: 7/10

How to uncensor it: Open your Beach bounce folder (OS>Program Files x86>Steam>steamapps>common>Beach Bounce). In your Beach Bounce folder, there should be a folder named 'game'. Open it. In the 'game' folder, there should be some files. Open the 'patch.rpy' file. Chances are you will not be able to open it by double clicking it, and that's ok. Just simply open the RPY file with notepad. Change "$ persistent.censored = True" to "$ persistent.censored = False" The game should be uncensored. To make sure it worked, when you open the game, it will say "uncensored version" in the top right corner of the start menu. Happy Fapping!

Where to start? This was sooo much fun - 19 different endings (4 Good, 4 Odd, 11 Bad)

THE THINGS I LIKED - lots & lots of choices and interaction - nice artwork - oh, and the music - It takes plenty of time to get all the different endings & to complete the Achievements, too, so it's a good price especially on sale - it was well written with just a few grammar issues (no biggie)

THE THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE - I'm surprised/happy to say nothing comes to mind

Both versions (Steam & original) are enjoyable.

Spoiler -- Wow - so Yuuki is into Cosplay, too -- I liked the Merman ending best

I've played both Summer Fling and Club Life, but compared to those two, Beach Bounce is drastically different. Since I didn't play the original Beach Bounce, I'm not really sure how different it is from the remastered version.

Though I have to say I don't understand why this isn't doing better than the other two, except for a few trivial nitpicks I've had with this game. Beach Bounce is about a dropout looking over a resort, while his grandmother is in the hospital.

Since his co-workers are all female, it was pretty easy to figure out he was going to end up with at least one of them, and this is where the differences between Dharker Studios other works, like. I actually thought the art here was better in this game, and didn't quite fall under same face syndrome, like the other two. Same goes for the writing during sex scenes.

It didn't drag on too much, probably because it had a better flow of dialogue and description, which really reminded me of successful games like Sunrider Academy. The only disappointing thing I found about the game, is that the CG gallery slots were taken up by character stills that weren't sex, and that some of the epilogue endings either didn't have art to them, or were barely given a conclusion. Still, doesn't stop me from liking it better than the other two games.

Really can't emphasize enough that this one had more dialogue padding, before we actually got to a sex scene, but not horribly long. Also, Rei won me over with how accepting she was, after misunderstandings were cleared up.

Pretty well written dialogue with (typically) realistic descriptions of physical interactions.
Enjoyable story with a few breaks in the logic flow, but overall totally worth the $3;49 spent. $10 max price worthy imho.
Only my2nd Anime/Mature/visual novel- other was a Sakura title.
Surprised at quality of writing- hope to find more as good or better then these. This is, in effect a dating sim with a few surprisingly poignant observations on life, as well as a nice variety of personalities and real life kinks. Thankfully the cheese in sexual situations is minimal, nothing too over the top and no chics with fox ears or tails... just humans...for the most part. Just enough skin and sex (with uncensor applied) to keep your blood pumping...but definetly not a pron fest. Yes...I did buy this hoping to see some nice anime women naked, but was surprised at how well this was crafted and the quality of writing.

Easy to uncensor....see review/thnx to "Braided" for for that.

Beach Bounce is really cute as well as sexy amusing anime story. I do not have much of anything to say negative about it other than like other visual book stories, the game does not give enough choices. Just give choices that you do want to use. Of all the visual novel games I do have, Beach Bounce is my favorite

The main thing I learnt from this game is that in our characters place I would completly suck lol, my first playthrough ended prematurely as I got a bad ending, my second playthrough also ended prematurely because I got a different bad ending... At that point I just gave up and followed a guide to avoid the bad endings, maybe I am just a bad person.

For the games full price I can not reccomend it as while I enjoyed it I would not have paid £10 for it, but if you see it on sale anywhere than it is definately worth a pick up if you are into visual novels or this type of "slice of life" stuff.

Your grandmother falls ill and you have to look after her beach resort which lucky for you is all women and all are romance options, you can completly mess up though and either get kicked out or get the place shut down like I did so be careful, each one has a different personality and while some of the endings are roughly the same except the girl in the end, there are some diffrerent ones as well.
As you can see from the tags there is some fan service in the game for you as well if you like that kind of stuff.

I enjoyed the game and plan to get the ones that came after it as well some when. x

Interesting game. You are Tomoyo (Tomo) and you have just been asked to take over a resort complex for your grandmother. She is testing you for possible inheritance, and she's... getting close to passing on. The resort is filled with pretty girls, of which six are very interested in you... though at least a couple might not be the... most conventional... Anyway, through your actions you hopefully will make the resort successful and find a new love.

This is supposed to be the first of a trilogy, but I shall have to see how... inclusive the other two parts are.

10 out of 10 actually has a good plot to it plus if you gte the patch you can have even more fun woth it too but really the story is actually good. If going for achievements you might need a guide because it is painful to do it without one trust me I did and its like 3 hours of you life you do not need to spend to try that hard. Umm yeah good plot, art style lacking i guess but you'll get used to it, and definetely recommend if you want good fanservice and plot at the same time.

Some people review this bad but here is my perspective.

ive fully completed the game and with this game that has multiple storylines.

some stories are short while the other goes on for a long time wich is actually quite fun!

at the beginning i wasnt too sure cause for some reason i did not feel too great with the artstyle but eventually i didnt even think about that anymore.

i can asure you you can have a full day of fun at least!

so if you just need something quick to play
(and you are a little horndog in wich i suggest get the uncensored patch)
then this is just perfect for you!

not too involving
chance to experiment what happens when you do what.

btw its the classic story of im a loser (ish) and suddenly dating magic type of story.

this game is very silly, and the fan service can be a bit on the nose, but together it's what one expects from this style of game. one of the only flaws I feel I must point out is: if you are looking for a story or characters that you can relate to, you might not find it here.

I really wish there was a neutral rating to give this game. Its not bad, but I'm not sure I'd really recommend it to anyone either.

4/10. Has some moments of so-bad-it's-good, but a considerable number of just-plain-bad moments, too. It's not the worst game I've ever played, and I hesitate to call it truly "bad", but... It's not good. It's really not good. It's average, mediocre at best... "meh" at most.

A pretty solid, saucy visual novel. Quite a few routes to go down (as well as bad ones). Some cons, but can't say they really detracted from the story.

Some things that weren't to my liking were 2nd-person perspective and night-to-day transitions. When MC would say he's going to bed, the text would immediately change to what he was doing in the morning. A black-out or some paused transition would make it a smoother read.

Other than that, it was pretty enjoyable. Not amazing, but not bad either.

This VN is based in asummer vacation village, attracting every year tourists from all over the country, though this vacation village, even though its located on a beach and is running smoothly, they are faced with an eventual disclosure of the the village if things dont run as to how it should be.
With the grand mother being hospitalized she cant continue to overlook the village and so she asked her child to take over the village for a certain time.
With this starting we are taking over the control of the commandments, with the help of the already present girls, Things seems to run smoothly in the story itself, though depending as to how we chse our path or the actions we take, we can be quickly faced with th worst possible end, The bankrupcy or being rejected to continue to lead beach bounce.With a lot of choices to do, with enough different pathes to do the game is really funny and entertaining, each character on its own way. One path offer us even the choice of death(if accidental or intentionnal, we dont know, but well, as dead men why would we need to know?) if taking the wrong choice in one path.

Thestory does actually retalk like in real life the business keeping a beach village alive, though with smaller amount of work, and how the crew keeps themself entertained and working together.
Its a very amusing and agreable novel which i can only recommend.

With current price I can't recommend this game. The artstyle seems pretty cheap and its shared with 2/3 other titles of the same "franchise" like "bunny bounce" and they even seem too similiar in "battle girls". There are free games that feature a better story and artstyle for example "pact with a witch" or "second chance" although the 2nd one won't be playable for everyone as it features furry characters. But both of these games can be finished without having sex and in "beach bounce" getting chicks to do it isn't really hard. The choices doesn't seem to have a big meaning although they change the ending of the game. The dialogues and dialogue options just seem cheap like the whole story. If You want to get easy achievements You can buy it on a sale but I wouldn't pay the full price for it.

Wasn't really feeling it in this game. It seemed a bit too easy to get laid, I didn't really feel like my choices mattered that much, and I didn't find many of the characters interesting. I played until I came to a point where I figured the story had ended, so I stopped playing, even though I kinda knew there was more to go. I just didn't care to experience it.

✅ Short content.
❌ Not worth full price. Story is bland and uninteresting. Art is woeful.

For the very little content in the base game. Skip this and use your money for other worthy games unless it goes for real cheap and you really want it.
