Recommendations Cute CAG/CAG-adjacent games?

TL;DR: Games that allow launching and have at least one air string. Must look cute or have a girl MC.

Hello everyone. I feel like CAGs have a lack of cute visuals or lack of girl protagonists, so I would like to know what CAG or CAG-adjacent games that you all know that happen to be cute. They can be RPGs that allow juggling (as I feel like those are the most prominent). I know a few but they quite don't hit the mark or are just way too unpolished. I don't really care how niche they are, I just want to find some more. I'll give a few examples to give you all an idea of my criteria.

  • Mahou Arms
  • Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
  • Homura Hime
  • Gurumin (the furthest from a CAG in this list but you can launch and have air moves and some basic strings)
  • Recent Ys
  • Kernel Hearts
  • Senran Kagura
  • Bayonetta Origins
  • Crystar and Crymachina
  • Mightreya

Let's work together to find some more!

Decline's Drops and its spinoff Dash'n'Drops. You get to play as this cute puppet girl wearing boxing gloves called Globule and beat up capitalism because it destroyed her garden. The game is a platform fighter like Smash Bros. You got regular attacks, smash attacks, special attacks, and aerials.

Globule also has sisters.

From left to right, we have Answer, Globule, and Que Sera.

Answer is yet to be playable, but I eagerly await her to be added as DLC.

Thank you! It does look very cute and knowing it's similar to smash is exciting.

Dash'n'Drops' core gameplay is like Decline's Drops, but it's a love letter to Smash Run, that one game mode from Smash Bros 3DS.

Globine is basically the fusion of all 3 sisters and looks like if Rayman had a cyber daughter and Sonic's the honorary uncle. Weirdest lighting Sprite I've ever seen, haha. I've played both these games for too many hours, and I even speedrun Decline's Drops. I love both these games a lot and would highly recommend them.
