And for Android: Lab Rats 2 v0.6.0-Android

v0.6.0 is finished, and it's bringing a ton of new additions and improvements to Lab Rats 2. The UI has been improved throughout the game to provide more feedback. Sluttiness is now indicated visually and the required (or suggested) Sluttiness is shown on the button for many tasks. Girls now have semi-random text colour and font combinations that make it easier to pick their name out of a list. The main girl UI has been moved to a separate window so that it can be displayed at the same time as the main business UI. There have also been smaller tweaks and adjustments to button art, font size, and placement.

Next, the way Sluttiness is gained has been modified to work well with the changes to Suggestibility from the last update. Interactions now have a maximum Sluttiness that they can reach, and some have a minimum Sluttiness before you can attempt them. Corrupting a girl now requires a buildup from flirting to foreplay to sex, along with serum to cement the changes to her personality. Limits on how often you can chat with someone or have sex with them prevents spamming out the same action over and over again.

There have also been updates to the serum design system to encourage more complex serum designs and to increase their value as the game progresses. Serums now have a limited number of trait "slots" that can be filled. Higher level serums have more slots and are worth more for their production value than low level serums. All of the serum traits have had their values rebalanced for this new system and a new research line that boosts suggestibility has been introduced.

And finally, there have been a few major bug fixes in this version. A major cause of game slowdown has been identified and fixed with more work planned on that front over the next week. Skimpy skirts and dresses now properly calculate their suggestibility requirements. Serums with status effects like "Growing Breasts" now properly apply their effects.

I hope you enjoy playing the new version of the game as much as I enjoyed making it! Please let me know in the comments or via a direct message if you encounter any bugs!
