Flex Appeal
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
You live a simple life: Work, game, sleep. But that all changes when your roommate and landlady decides to get serious about working out. How serious? Well her end goal is to become a massive amazon woman.
Of course she picks you as her personal trainer as you both try and navigate her journey. Not to mention your rude boss and tomboy childhood friend joining in on the fun.
Will you help all three girls get the muscles of their dreams? Will some romance spark in the meantime? Or will you just lock your doors and try to ignore all three of them?
Find out in Flex Appeal.

Not sure what the issue could be. But everytime I get to the line "you better not cook for me" after you come home from work at the start.
The game simply stops working and gives the ol (Not responding) from Windows
hm. odd. will look into it. maybe try a new save see what happens
I did eventually get past it after trying a new save like... 6 times. But then it started happening again when your landlord meets the childhood friend for the first time (I forgot their names sorry). I've never had issues like that with games using this engine before so i'm not sure what the cause could be.
neither do i sadly. never seen this happen before.
I may try and get a web version up and running for this sort of thing.
Yeah it's unfortunate. I did eventually get through the whole thing. Buttttttt, it only worked if I fast forward skipped everything (Which is extra odd cause normally that breaks things)
It seemed to only happen otherwise when the scene would transition to a cg scene, or to a different "area" (like a change of background). I tried reinstalling it and nothing changed.
Not sure what the issue could be. But from what I did experience in the game. It looks pretty good, and I hope to see more.
thanks. and sorry again for all that. No idea what it may be...
I still hope that we will be given a little more freedom and choice in the game! No, really, I really want to speak out about these miracle pills, which are not at all a piano from the bushes or a god from a car!
cant say there will be much. i've got a good idea of the main story and stuff like the pills play a bit part in it.
Yes, it's clear that they are important to the plot, I'm not arguing with that. I just really hope that our hero notices the fact that they don't need his help since they have these pills. And I'm more concerned about freedom of action and choice than these pills, otherwise if I can't influence the plot in any way and make a choice in favor of my favorite, then somehow it will be unpleasant.
oh you can choose to only hang out with one girl and advance her story. that's totally up to the player.
But surely, as a player, we will be allowed to influence this story in some way? Choose what to say or do? I don't want to just stupidly float through the plot without being able to influence it in any way.
We'll see when it's written.
what do you plan for the rest of the pills?
Merriam's got a good hold on them. Other girls may need to find other ways...
When will the update be available?
not sure. working with the artist on gui stuff right now.
hope they grow really really big >:D
Let's hope so.
By the way, I can finally choose who I want to have a relationship with, right?
yes.
I understand that you are probably already tired of me with this topic, but I have one or two suggestions. Although I'm sure you won't do the first one, as well as the second one, but still. The first suggestion is that at least there are some side effects from these pills, otherwise everything is too rosy and there are no problems. The 2nd sentence is at least some kind of comment from our main character, like, "Do you really need me with these pills?" It's like this :)
eh, maybe the second thing may come up in dialouge. I dunno.
Oh! I would be happy!
I can't figure out why the hell this chubby blonde needs me as a coach in the person of our main character if she finally found these miracle pills?!
She wants to spend time with him.
But, yeah I guess that does make sense.
No, don't think I'm complaining. It's just that as soon as I saw that she found these strange pills in that quarter, I immediately realized what it was all about. We've only worked out a little bit, and she's already skipped half the process! Now I don't want to study with her at all! I'd rather train Chloe and start a relationship with her, or with our Boss...although Chloe is still in my first place.
hate to say it but similar things are gonna happen with the other two.
If I did it more realistically then it'd be too long a game.
Yeah, for some reason I'm not surprised at all. Heh, do they really need us as a coach? :) Why should we end up with all this information that the main character knows so much about gaining muscle mass and sports? :) You know, if these pills worked as one serum from one muscle-building game, "Strong Girls," they would work during training, and not just at the click of a finger. :)
Could be fun scenario where they turn the tables on you, and the MC end up getting coached but didn't want to which leads up to punishment.
Nice game! Hoping u update it from time to time. Chloe became my favorite.
Also, would you include pec bouncing in future updates? Either visually just by images or by animation (I can help with that if you'd like). Let me know, it would be great having that in the game.
probably not. not something that appeals to me.
glad you liked the update though!
Damn, thought you did due to how common it is among FMG fans, but oh well.
And yeah! Game looks promising
Pretty good, just hopefully will be finished...
I love Chloe already, Merriam and Beverly is fine but definitely on the lowest on ranking.
Not good of a first impression for Beverly though, even if Merriam was being unrealistic no need to insult and discourage someone from working out, especially on their FIRST meeting.
Beverly is just a bitch.
I do hope its finished as well. I've grown as a developer and think I'll be able to handle it.
A really cool game!
The hand-drawn art looks and feels fantastic. This is exactly the kind of thing that usually doesn’t work well when a game is made with AI: it’s very hard to generate proper side-view scenes with the characters.
Of course, the almost complete lack of variety is disappointing. Most of the time we’re just clicking through to the next slide. It would be great to add more options for how the main character reacts to what’s happening. They don’t even need to have long-term consequences, it would be enough to just show a single reaction slide from the girl and then return back to the main storyline (at least that’s how I see it).
Thanks! Tired my best to give some different options but even in the code there's no real difference aside from quick interactions.
May try and have something more but for the most part this will be like, a simple dating sim type game.
I mean EXACLY quick interactions with no real differences!
If the main character has the option to say different lines, and the girl simply reacted differently in the moment, the game would already feel much more dynamic!
I’m talking about using the menu command for player choices.
Yeah, pretty sure there's one or two in there.
looks promising but damn you already have so much games without updates I can't help but feel it will be the same with this one again...
I'm sorry. 😭 Bad habit of mine.
Please do an android version
probably will once a new update comes.
Love your work! Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you!
Hot stuff.
thanks.
It's a pity that itch has become such a dump. You can't even download the game anymore
I have a patreon public post with the downloads.

Sorry about that. Seems Itch isn't being kind to me with this game. Don't even think it's showing up under the adult tag. or any of the tags.
that's not a blow to my advertizing...
I like it please make more
Exciting! It looks so good, you should be proud.
All the characters are awesome - but for me, Beverly is *chef's kiss*
Beverly is probably my fav too.
Long journey ahead... 20² hindsight but let's be +++
yeah. it will be. not to mention all the other projects i haven't finished...
OH... YO-... Ohh
cant tell if this is good or bad. gonna go with good.
Working on fixing things like download links and the quarantine mode being on. sadly best i can do is wait for itch to reply and try and get a web browser version up.
the download is broken broski
Yeah I'm working on fixing it.
Ah yeah, itchio has been sucking recently. I downloaded the game from your patreon though.
The art is pretty good, and I think you've done a good job story telling. With that being said, the game really needs to be optimized. Skipping or quickly moving through dialogue causes the game to freeze up. Might be because your images are such a high res.
I noticed your game is over a GB and a half, while another fmg game, Gift From the Ocean, isn't even a quarter of a GB, despite being longer and more detailed. Perhaps reach out to some other renpy devs in the space if you need help.
fixed that, one guy said to make them webp instead of pngs. hopefully that fixes things. at least it made the file size a hell of a lot smaller.
