Close. I picked up on the minor text changes and such. The difficulty was gauging the numbers behind them and their impacts. I ran into 100% mind, 200% body, 100% libido, 96% clothes, 100% makeup repeatedly in my attempt at strategizing. Getting "ERROR" for stats that got maxed wasn't much help either. I DEFINITELY wasn't about to spend my time brute-forcing all 120 permutations of the buttons, especially with redundant outcomes.
Basically:
- If the game kept track of what combinations you tried already, that would've cut down on the redundant outcomes.
- If the numbers on the display below were displayed constantly instead of at the end, that would've helped me figure out a better strategy more easily.
I try to be verbose in my analysis of games/programs, I have first-hand knowledge of people complaining about some feature not working and not giving enough details about what they did.

I don't actually play many. I've played Trap Quest, Bimbo Mall Battle, Corruption of Champions, and to lesser extents, Bimbo Holdem Poker, Escort Dreams and Choker Change. I used to keep track of things I consider game design flaws for bigger things for personal analytical purposes, a short list can be found (
here) but TF games typically
transform (dohoho) quickly enough that they get fixed and my ramblings become invalid.
