Ben X 0.06 UPDATED BUILDS
I kept adding edits to the original upload and after 2 it's a bit silly, so here goes the link again in a shiny brand new post:
Link's the same, builds have fixed some crap. Especially on Android:
Changelog:
Fixed "Big Bros and Rhomboid attack without charging for one turn first sometimes"
Some people reported a weird security message claiming there was ransomware in the game. This was because of the way the rollback tracks everything you do INSIDE the game (and inside only) so you can then roll back without losing stuff. Should be gone.
Fixed how the skip and rollback work with unseen text
Android. Skip and rollback fixed.
Android. Saves are now in Android/data/com.crazyoats.bxsq/files/.bxsq/saves (visible from a PC over USB); existing saves are copied there automatically on first launch. Saves are written without deleting/renaming files.
Some people have reported an issue with the Buffout pill puzzle/usage on Android, but for the life of me, I can't replicate it. Please download the latest build, and if it still happens, please send us a save so we can fix it.
More soon!

On macOS, I couldn't run the .app file; apparently, it's not "runnable"? Had to do some kind of terminal thing to make it runnable, which I figgured out using claude.
Glad you managed to run it in the end!
Te puedo pedir que agregues a un personaje más en la siguiente actualización?
Hi, I’m new here. I recently discovered your game and noticed there was a 5-year gap between the previous update and the current one. I’d like to know if you plan to provide regular updates (on the game’s development status); I’m hesitant to commit to anything if there’s a chance it might take another 5 years for the next update.
We changed the engine so I could do just that, but the game is free, so if you are hesitant to support, you could always wait until the new update comes up to make up your mind. On the other side, even the minimum tier gives you access to a ton of illustrations, so if that's something you want, you can always support me for a month, then leave and come back with the new update. It's up to you :)
I get why the engine took so long. Between Akanoes being away for a long time, and making an engine just being an arduous task. But how the fuck was there so little art after all these years? Like theres 4 months of art here. Not a years worth, not 2 years worth, and certianly not years worth. In that time frame you have made at least 100k usd off this page btw
Short answer: cos I wasn't working in the game that much. I did the Goodie Packs with 4 illustrations in them every month for Patrons, but for the game, I only work when I could, which wasn't very often. I needed to get to a point in my life in which finding a job wasn't a constant worry. Add to that family and girlfriend issues (now ex-gf) and the way that we used to work which was awfully inconvenient... Yeah. And that amount might look big and I'm certainly grateful for it, but if you divide it by the number of months you can't live of just that nowadays. Not making excuses btw, I'm just giving you my reasons. I'm sure other people could have done more with less. I wasn't in a good place, but at least I was keeping my Goodie Pack promise while I figured things out. I'm amazed at how many of you still believed in me, but yeah, I've always meant to finish what I started. I just hadn't found what I needed to get it done until I met NewGuy.
Hey hey girl, I'm having trouble with the buff out pills
Android? Latest version?
BTW just installed it and currently it can't be opened on mac as it's missing all of it's Unix Executable files that make games like this work on mac
Everything should be in there, what version of the iOs are you on?
Hey I don't know if this is because I'm playing on PC, but the game tends to skip some of the dialogue on each click. Btw, thanks for not giving up on this Awsome project of yours. Your art and passion inspires me to learn art so I can make my own games that people will enjoy! Ben X is just one of those games that no matter how many times you play it, it never gets boring and you're a genius to come up with this. Best of luck to you and Akenos🫡
The mouse thing doesn't happen to me. Are you emulating Android on PC or something? XD And wow, thank you for your kind words but let's wait until the game is done and thenI may beleive the game is all right. Looking forward to playing the games you make, man, THAT is the greatest compliment you could pay me.
Did this update also fix the ability to scroll on Android? As in scroll through the outfit menu so you can choose different options.
Yep 👍
Which pack will be great for Gwen's scenes, Aurthor
Goodie Packs and the game are two different things. They're just illustrations so dig around! There's usually an illustration with Gwen in each pack.
2 questions 1, any idea when the cheats will be implemented? 2, was it intentional to remove patrol fudging (auto patrolling and rolling back on defeat)
1. Next build 2. Auto patrolling is still in, and... was rolling back on defeat a thing before?
I think one scene of gwen falling down in her first meetup is missing on android
That... doesn't seem possible.
So is there an actual update schedule or whenever yall feel is right?
Whenever we have the time to work on it, man. It's not about the feel, it's about the bills XD
