YMMV / Stretch Panic

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: The game is about a girl who uses a possessed scarf to fight her demon-possessed sisters. She must exorcise the demons, which require points that you must obtain by pinching and stretching women with comically over-sized breasts (i.e. so big that the rest of the woman is hidden between them) in the game's hub world. The premise was too ludicrous for even diehard Treasure fans (used to such weirdness) and the game fell into obscurity quickly as a result.
  • Awesome Music: The EX-Island music.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Of the bosses, Samantha's the most popular by a fair bit.
  • Fetish Retardant: Turns out comically oversized breasts on tiny women is more comical than arousing.
  • Friendly Fandoms: With Wario World, which is not only also made by Treasure, but also maintains its general art style and vibe (albeit more detailed and toned down more-or-less to family-friendly levels).
  • Self-Imposed Challenge: There might not be a reward at all, but since you rescue a random sister each time you try to fight them, you could try to make sure each sister is different, which means either resetting / beating without exorcising until you have who you think is the right sister.
  • That One Boss: Demonica, by far, is the hardest boss in the game. You don't actually confront her face to face, but rather, the whole battle involves keeping her out of the room you're occupying. All the while, you still have to do damage to her and try to exorcise her.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: While the game's premise and character design is quite interesting and had some potential, the game is just too short to really go anywhere, and after everything is resolved, there doesn't feel like there's any real resolution at all, just a credit roll march with Linda and her restored sisters.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: If the T rating on the box doesn't tip you off that the cartoonish and cute artstyle and little girl on the box doesn't mean the game is for the children, the plot about hell and the women with comically large breasts will.
