Ripe for the Picking☆ Summer Beach Launches on 072 Project September 3 — 3D Survivors-Like H-Action by くじら1%

Ripe for the Picking☆ Summer Beach hits 072 Project on September 3, 2026: a survivors-like beach shooter with 15 stages and 5 fully voiced girls.

Sunscreen is supposed to go on your skin. Our guy loads his into a water gun and hoses down the entire beach with it, which tells you roughly what kind of summer this is going to be

Ripe for the Picking☆ Summer Beach, the 3D adult action game from doujin circle くじら1%, launches on 072 Project on September 3, 2026. The setup: a guy who is very much done being a virgin buys a bottle of “aphrodisiac sunscreen” off a sketchy website, hoping it will get him a summer fling with the kind of swimsuit girls who would normally never look at him. Then he decides the delivery method is a water gun

Table of Contents

It’s a survivors-like, except your weapon is a super soaker

Under the hood this is bullet heaven territory. Top-down view, waves of enemies closing in, roughly 10 minutes per main run, and your job is to keep moving, keep dodging and keep the sunscreen gun spraying

Power-ups and buffs drop mid-run the way you’d expect from the genre. The coins you bank from a run go into permanent character upgrades, so even a failed attempt leaves you stronger for the next one and the whole thing snowballs across attempts

There are 15 stages total. DAY and SUNSET cover the normal runs, and NIGHT shows up later as the hard mode tier. Some of the girls pull out special tricks during NIGHT stages, like burst movement speed or going invisible, which turns what started as a simple survival loop into something you actually have to plan around

Top-down pixel-art beach battle at LV 1 with a timer, health hearts, a coin counter and chibi enemies closing in — LV 1, ten minutes on the clock, and a beach that is filling up with chibi girls faster than you can back away

LEVEL UP screen offering three popsicle-shaped upgrade cards with percentage stat boosts — Three popsicles, one pick, and the flavor text on these cards is not remotely safe for the office

TIME SELECT menu with DAY, SUNSET, NIGHT and an outfit-change node, NIGHT highlighted — NIGHT is the hard tier, and the blurb straight up warns you there’s no H event waiting at the end of it

STAGE SELECT menu with five stage nodes, a coin counter and a stage description panel — Five stages on the board and the nurse sitting at the end of them, flagged as the nasty one

Top-down beach battle at LV 8 with 270 coins banked and a girl in a hot air balloon floating over the stage — LV 8 and there’s now a girl in a hot air balloon heckling you from above

Permanent upgrade menu with ten stat slots, heart-shaped level pips and coin costs — Permanent upgrades with names the localizers clearly had a great time with

Five swimsuit girls, all fully voiced

Five heroines show up, and the circle went out of its way to cover different tastes rather than doing five variations on the same archetype. Every one of them is fully voiced. English names aren’t confirmed yet, so here they are by their type plus the CV credit

The cutie（CV：夢乃ちか）
The poster girl at a coffee shop, bright and full of energy. The friendly one you’d expect to meet first

The quiet office lady（CV：まどのことり）
Receptionist at a big company. She hates being ogled so she stays buttoned up in a suit all day, and the beach is where she finally lets loose

The wannabe gyaru（CV：雲雀ゆい）
A newbie who moved to the big city and reinvented herself as a gyaru. The gyaru act is held together with tape and she’s a bit of a scatterbrain about it

The cool beauty（CV：四方山みかん）
Treats men as filth and says so. Plays the S on the outside while hiding a serious M streak underneath

The yandere nurse（CV：浮藻くらげ）
A rookie nurse who is weirdly popular with the perverted patients. Slightly scared of men, and something else is lurking under all that flinching

Pink twin-tailed girl in a pink bikini standing on the beach with a dialogue box below her — Standard visual novel framing between runs, with the protagonist quietly not believing his luck

Gallery screen showing five character cards under a NIGHT BEACH heading, each covered by a lock icon — The gallery lays all five out from the start, locks and all, purely to motivate you

Clear the run, unlock the scene, then replay it however you want

The adult content is tied straight to the gameplay. Beat the matching challenge and the corresponding girl’s 3D H scene opens up, and every scene comes with a second round on top, so clearing a stage isn’t a one-and-done payoff

Anything you unlock goes into the gallery for repeat viewing, and that’s where the customization lives. You can change the girl’s outfit, swap the location the scene plays out in, and move the camera wherever you like. Each outfit also lets you recolor it, so the same scene can be rebuilt into a fairly different combination

The gallery also carries dialogue looping, pause, a heart-voice toggle with two flavors (reluctant, or head over heels), and controls for the onlooking crowd, who can be turned into old men, made transparent or set to half transparent. Second-round dialogue changes too

The dumbest and best idea in here is the livestream framing. Some scenes play out as if they’re being broadcast, complete with audience voices and danmaku comments scrolling across the screen in real time, so your big summer romance gets peer reviewed by a crowd of anonymous viewers. The danmaku can be switched off if you’d rather not have the commentary

Outfit shop listing swimsuits and costumes with coin prices, a maid-outfit girl posing on the right — Run coins turn into bunny suits, maid bikinis and school swimsuits, and every one of them is recolorable

The pink-haired girl in a pink maid dress against a pastel background with viewer comments floating around her — Maid outfit on, stream running, and the chat has opinions she can definitely hear

H scene of the blonde gyaru indoors with danmaku comments scrolling over the screen and outfit, background and camera panels on either side — Danmaku flying past while the gallery panels let you swap her outfit, change the room and reposition the camera mid-scene

Scene preview

Beach scene with the brown-haired girl covering her chest with both arms, dialogue box at the bottom — The office lady calling you out while doing absolutely nothing to stop you looking

The silver and blue haired girl sitting on the sand in a blue bikini, dialogue box showing her talking down to the player — The cool beauty deciding on the spot that you’re her pet now, and the sunscreen hasn’t even come out yet

H scene of the pink-haired girl from behind indoors, with the heart-voice toggle set to the head-over-heels option — Third loop, heart voice flipped to head over heels, and the audience still hasn’t stopped commenting
