The Reaper class is proving to be quite the powerhouse in bronze, let's see if we can keep the pain flowing with this cauldron centric build!

I ran out of ROOM for MUSH! (Backpack Battles)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 1d

More Backpack Battles!

This might be my favorite thumbnail I have made. The run is good too, but the thumbnail!!

Thank you devs for the Ankh (CloverPit)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 2d

More CloverPit!

This one was a STRUGGLE but I pulled a Tim Gunn and made it work. More CloverPit in the future?? Maybe! Probably only if I do something CRAZY in it but I think the bigger creators already got this one covered. An incredible game I will be playing for a while.

Go Ask Alice, When She's 10 Wins Tall (Turnbound)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 3d

More Turnbound!

I was just itching to give Alice another go since learning more about her abilities, and I think I ended up putting on a pretty good show!

Turnbound is a part of Steam Next Fest! Go check it out! @1tkgames.bsky.social

This is what happens when you don't focus on scaling (CloverPit)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 3d

We really put the PIT in CloverPit with this one, but I had such a great time as usual! SUCH a good game!

Spooky Sunday Double Feature (tm) starts with Stanley Says, a first time project from a solo dev that has a lot of heart, and made me giggle a lot!

With most of the roster in Silver, now we focus on my least played characters, starting with the Reaper Class!

This Plinko Inspired Roguelike had me CRASHING OUT (Plinbo)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 5d

It's a beautiful day to get angry at a game designed to piss you off. This is Plinbo. A brand new plinko-style roguelike that has a lot of promise as a "just one more run" kind of game. Especially when it's easy enough to fail a run in the first round

I go back to dancing with the one that brought me, Sun Wukong, in another double header that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This bag just keeps on giving! (Backpack Battles)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 7d

More Backpack Battles!

I follow up my previous run with one that may rank in my top 5 runs in this game.

The Creator of GWENT made a roguelike! (Dice Legends)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 7d

The first video of the new Dice Legends Series! More coming tomorrow! And the Stream tomorrow night for the release! Really excited for this one y'all but it is HARD. at least for me. I've seen some people say it is easy but I'd love to see their builds!

More Turnbound!

Maybe learning a new character during a recording isn't a GREAT idea for wins, but I think it's a great idea if you enjoy watching me suffer!

I finally played this GOATED Roguelike without chat's help! (Slice & Dice)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 8d

Fresh for YouTube content as the first vid of the day instead of a stinky stream VOD? Glorious.

First time playing Slice & Dice off stream! I think you'll be proud of me. :)

I was vibrating by the end of this run (Backpack Battles)

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 9d

This may just be one of the best Backpack Battles runs I have EVER recorded. True story. No click-bait. (Emotional)

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in (Die For the Lich) Demo

RoyMartini @roymartinittv.bsky.social · 9d

Spooky Season calls for a revisit to one of my favorite roguelike demos of 2025! Die for the Lich is addicting and these daily runs keep me coming back for more, even when it's just the demo.
