YMMV / Tsuki Adventure

• Good Bad Bugs: The 2020 Christmas update ran past its original end date (the end of December), allowing players to continue buying things from the Christmas store and collect ornaments from characters.
• Friendly Fandoms: The Animal Restaurant and Tsuki Adventure fandoms often get along swimmingly, due to both games being pretty easygoing in their gameplay, both featuring talking animals, and both having heavy influences from Asian cultures. The titular character Tsuki even can appear as a customer in Animal Restaurant!
• Nightmare Fuel: For a cutesy looking game, Tsuki Adventure is full of this trope if one knows where to look.
  • In his high-friendship dialogue, Ken suggests that Mushroom Village might have connections to the yakuza. That's further implied by the gas station right near the village, which may steal Tsuki's car at gunpoint if he doesn't pay them for the gas.
  • Ed is full of this, due to the heavy implications that he's a serial killer who lives deep in Jugafuchi to hide from the police. Implications that become very explicit if you go trekking past midnight and happen to find him "gardening" or "taking out the trash" (which is still squirming around). He's one of the friendship-meter characters, too, so you need to hang out with him to get his memento item.
  • Some of the unused items that were later given as prizes for a Discord contest are quite disturbing. They include a revolver, a piece of "glassware" that is clearly a crack pipe and, worst of all, what appears to be a rabbit fetus with the umbilical cord still attached floating in a jar, called a "Mistake". The description for it is very unsettling as well:
  Silly bunny, what have you done? Who will answer for this abomination? God won't.
• The Scrappy: Ken is not well-liked by players, many of whom have caught onto his tendencies to mooch Tsuki and never pay him back. Even after becoming best friends with Ken, he only repays you 1000 carrots and nothing more. He still continues to mooch every now and then, with no extra hope of paying all those carrots back.
• Scrappy Mechanic:
  • The amount of Luck Based Missions present in the game can easily lead to this trope.
  • The worst offender has to be the ads, especially in the Great City. These are constantly prone to bugs, including not loading the ad at all, not finishing the ad, or not giving carrots after the ad has been watched. The Great City often relies on these ads as Tsuki's main source of money there, so the game could potentially cheat the player out of hundreds of carrots if the ad doesn't load properly. Although waiting 15 seconds before loading the ad usually prevents most of these problems, it's not a foolproof option, especially when the ads in the Great City remain buggy regardless.
  • Tsuki can often be seen eating random food from his inventory, especially during his trip to the Jugafuchi Forest. This is always random and many players have expressed their dismay at him eating event-limited food instead of the piles of noodle cups and carrot chips they bought for him.
  • Wandering in Jugafuchi Forest can be extremely taxing on Tsuki's food supplies if the player can't find the exit (and doesn't have the ridiculously expensive compass). Tsuki can blow through dozens of meals before he finally makes it back to the village.
    • Speaking of trekking in Jugafuchi, most of the elemental-rune side quest. Two of them are easy (getting the air rune from a ghost and fishing the water rune out of Lamia's pond), but the earth rune is locked behind a somewhat obtuse puzzle (you have to recognize that the stone with the vertical meter that makes Tsuki "feel at peace" shows your device's battery level, and interact with it when your battery is at 95% or higher), and players still cannot figure out how to consistently get the fire rune from the shrine. Once you have all four, you need to follow a specific route that you can only learn by looking through the camera in the cave behind the waterfall next to the campsite. And your reward for eating through most of your food to collect all four runes and figuring out where to put them? A single pomegranate, which unlocks one diary entry in Mushroom Village and is consumed in the process.
• The Woobie:
  • Tsuki counts, being the resident Butt-Monkey of the entire game.
  • Chagas is easily seen as one due to his neurotic nature and Character Development, if Tsuki helps him out.
  • Torio the peacock has one scene, which involves Tsuki buying the machete and nearly hacking their head off. Even Tsuki shows surprise and sympathy for almost maiming the poor bird, who quickly runs off. Unfortunately for them, this scene is required for Tsuki to gain access into deeper parts of the forest.
