About
Your partner can take a hit, so you throw her at gaps, ledges, and whatever's trying to kill you. Rogue Princess runs on that one joke and a rogue-lite dungeon built to test how far you're willing to push it, with a nagging question underneath about whether tossing her around counts as having her back.
The loop is platforming and combat through tiered rooms that shuffle each run, with harder layouts and a "Fracture" variant thrown into the mix as you go deeper. An optional Hard Mode ramps up enemy aggression for anyone who finds the base difficulty too forgiving, and fights themselves feed back into the relationship: beating enemies can raise your skill and nudge your partner's respect for you, depending on how tough the fight was. It's less a story you follow and more a trust exercise disguised as a platformer, and it never pretends to be anything sweeter than that.

v0.4
- MAIN FEATURES
- 2 new enemies with H-scenes
- 1 new animated CG scene
- 1 new regular CG scene
- Low/high respect system
- Preference system, which can cause Athena to be distracted by enemies and gain more arousal from scenes with them
- Some tier 2 levels, the rest will be added later as I ran out of time
- The new dialogue and animated CG scene have low respect flags which add things on (the doppelganger scene currently does NOT)
- Lots of teasing dialogue that can be viewed through Athena's preferences
- Debugger added (use ` or enter to interact with it)
- Melee attack added, which can counterattack enemies when timed correctly, and may even be your savior in emergencies

- CHEAT SHEET
- The 2 new regular conversations are unlocked by completing an expedition

- The animated CG scene has a chance of happening at the window in the hub once you've seen the rare kat CG scene. You'll know it's there with audio cues.
- All preferences have their own dialogue bits
- Low respect generally means more dialogue, if you're okay with Athena being mean
- If you're having trouble with Sentina, you can cut through her ranged attacks. If she's still difficult, then don't worry, she just drops coins and is mainly there to beat your ass for a specific fantasy anyways
- Sentina and Lantern have weapon types they don't resist
