Long-time (since Island 1) lurker here. Now that I've finished the series, I had to finally make an account here to thank you properly for your work! I usually get bored watching a lot of Cock Hero videos, but for some reason this never happened during the Island series. Without a fail each installment got me interested again in the video and, after noticing how slow and boring normal porn is, the genre itself.
Compared to other CH's, I especially like your stroke speed prompts and beats. They are not too difficult to follow, thanks to your excellent use of the music, but still not too simple. More importantly, they are not as intrusive as a constant beat-bar on the bottom of the screen, which I may have watched more than the porn in some CH videos. This was obviously an early design-choice, but still one of the strengths of your work that deserves a special mention.
It's great to see how much you improved over time btw. Later episodes were (and still are) definitely more difficult to win. It might have something to do with having more episodes to replay before each new release, but it's probably just an increase in quality. Aside from some minor mistakes and personal preferences I really have nothing bad to say about the Island series. So, if you ever need some validation from Someone on the internet, you can easily get more by making more CH or remastering the older ones
Aside from replaying the earlier episodes, I played the scenes you released after Island 4 (in a random order) quite often. Even so, I still can't play most Island 4 rounds without wondering about every other girl if she's your gf, ex or friend. I usually decide I can use a structured approach to make a good guess, reach one of the selfie-rounds and decide there are just too many girls... I'm still not convinced one of the hands holding the phone wasn't your girlfriend at that moment anyway
I wonder how much time I can waste now with more than double the number of rounds to play with! First things first though, as a self-proclaimed achievement hunter I kind of have to see how far I can get in the Cock Hero Island Experience. I'm reasonably confident in my skills, but obtaining the Iron Balls and Steel Balls trophies might be problematic... Sidenote - If I ever get that far, would you allow those trophies to be obtained at the same time or does a ruined orgasm not count as cumming? Just trying to save my glass balls.
I mostly liked the more music-based, not too hard-core rounds in Episode 1-4, of which you have a lot. Although there are also quite a few single girl based rounds that do include hard-core, which I still love. Some of my favorites for are Riley's Cabin, The English House, Titjob Bar and The Oasis. I usually also fear the ending of the Lana Rhoades round (134) in Episode 4, because of the super fast strokes after an already difficult round.
As for Episode 5, I have to replay the rounds a lot to decide my favorites. Even if you account for the increased number of rounds, I do have more favorites in later installments, so I would assume, I can increase my favorites list quite a bit. The switch to full HD did not make it any easier to win though, so it's great that was finally an option for the series. Additionally, I think the change in Boss Rounds setup is great. Although the earlier Boss Rounds were more menacing in their announcement, the new ones are just way more fun to play.
Here's me hoping you wake up in a few weeks or so with the uncontrollable urge to create even more rounds, so you can finally reach the next milestone of 500 rounds made. If this miracle does not happen, I'll probably be busy trying to become a True Cock Hero anyway. Or playing everything on random. Or deciding which rounds are awesome instead of great. Or trying to find your ex. Or replaying the series again. Or I'll actually try to finish my thesis...
I can ramble on about your work for a lot longer if you'd like (I haven't even mentioned the story yet), but I do have to get back to becoming a Cock Hero for now. Worlds to save, Islands to conquer, all for the greater good and definitely not just for me. You know the drill.
