Hello! I have some exciting coverage to share today. The first DLC character for the adult puzzler, Slime Girl Smoothies, titled “Milkshakes with Lemon” is out now! This extra character comes with unique gameplay mechanics, music track and is fully voiced. This is the first of three DLC characters with two more to be announced and released in the future.

Mature Content Disclaimer: this DLC and the title that it is intended for is rated as Adults Only, with strong language, explicit sexual content and nudity. If this content offends you or you are under the age of 18, please check out some of the other works that I have done on the site.
Now with the introductions out of the way, let’s talk about this new piece of content.
As a refresher, Slime Girl Smoothies is a puzzle title where players must mix fruits together on a grid to make drinks, accompanied by a slime girl bartended for 4 shifts. Each of the drinks has a recipe with specific flavor point numbers that need to be hit, the player has a set number of turns to hit these numbers or if they exceed 100 points they will fail that drink. If more than one drink is failed, the shift will be a failure and the player will lose.
From the outset, this looks like a simple enough addition with a new character from a distant land. However, looks can be deceiving as this is a challenging expansion to the established formula. The bartender Lemon introduces a new mechanic that completely changes the way players must approach the puzzles. This is simply called spoiling, as the drinks are made with milk, they will lose freshness over time leading to flavor points being dropped.
This new mechanic is also augmented by a flavor boost, which will provide more points to players depending on different factors. The boost to flavor points must also be taken into account as well as the spoiling, since there is a chance a flavor will go past 100 and fail the drink. This adds to the challenge and complexity of the shifts, as it is possible for points to fall even after reaching the required level, so players must keep an eye on the flavor wheel.
The new addition to the bar staff also comes with a set of 4 shifts for the player to challenge, each with their own fully voiced dialogue from the talented VA Pixie Willow (Twitter/X). There is also the inclusion of special intimacy scenes that can be unlocked for players to enjoy, unlocked during the course of that route. Alongside the extra artwork, shifts and dialogue, Lemon has her own unique music which is a mix between a Wild West trail theme and a dance anthem.
Personal Thoughts – during my time with this DLC, I had a lot of fun playing through the extra content, which gave me a very good reason to return to the game yet again. The new mechanics are very fun and challenging, adding further depth and complexity to the established formula. The sound for the game is excellently mixed, with the voice work and music complimenting each other, along with the artwork that has been created for Lemon.
I am happy to recommend this bonus content for players who have enjoyed the base game. The newest hire for Slimey’s Bar is a real hoot to play with, as they bring their own unique flavors to the menu. This makes me very excited to see what is next for this title and who will join the team in the future.
