All other games are temporarily shelved. We have important matters to attend to…

So excited to jump back in and replay Yooka-Laylee! 💜💚

On one track you have a #JustBeatIt for @polykillpodcast.bsky.social on The Trolley Problem Inc but you just can't be the polykiller

On the other one, you ignore your bluesky for months but your podcast presence drops drastically

Which one do you choose?

Skeet it..........Ignore it

A good snowman is hard to build... But not for me!

I just #JustBeatIt at 100%
In fact beating the game is merely just the tutorial!

What a wild experience. Thanks again for the recommendation @topspot123.bsky.social and the gift @mrmo1984.bsky.social !

Super flappy golf is a really fun mix between flappy bird and a golf puzzle game.

You have to strategically flap under par to reach the holes... And it gets really really tough

A great time #JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

@mrmo1984.bsky.social gifted me an horror game for the spooky season... And it some has an arcade with a minigame in it!

So I #JustBeatIt Necrovania, a short castlevania inspired game

I love the fake-ass game energy that it has

Now on to the real game

I picked up Dead Cells after 10 ten years to finally #JustBeatIt

Movement and combat is still peak.
I wasn't as hot on the rogue-like aspects of it... Losing a run 30mins in to a new boss feels bad

I turned on a couple assists to make it my own

Great ass game

Cattle Crisis is a very impressive pico-8 shmup

It is fairly short but still 1CC'd it

Great visuals, great controls and great patterns

@teambugulon.bsky.social With another banger (somehow made in 72h)

You grapple through 20 challenging levels collecting tickets and crystal carrots

The grapple mechanic is super juicy and can get challenging at times

What a fun and unique game (Thank you @mrmo1984.bsky.social !)

It's pretty impossible to describe in a shot time, but it's basically a precision puzzle platformer... but you main mechanic isn't platforming

A real hidden gem

Does this game need any introduction.
A beer, a friend and an arcade machine ensure a good time

We were legit getting good at the end, but thank god we had infinite continues

You heard about Manic Marble ?
Well it's more of it.

Roll and dodge

This is like exactly like Manic Marble, just with slightly different levels

Gotta roll around at the speed of sound

Unlike the Rollz series, in Manic Marble it's about rolling fast from start to finish while avoiding obstacles

You must beat the timer on each level to continue while also dealing with the janky physics

And don't die in the menu

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social
ⒷⒾⓃⒼⓄ: N/A

In the sequel to Rollz, you do mostly the same thing: Roll and puzzle around... but now you also have a jump!

The game is weirdly eerie all the way through, with a foreboding atmosphere

It's really good.
The ball keeps rolling...

I really wanted to play some motion controlled ball rolling game... So I beat a bunch on my Iphone!

Rollz is really simple. Roll from start to finish while doing light puzzle solving

It's exactly what I wanted
Simple and Tight

A rare sidescrolling block pusher

You must push blocks around to create stairs to reach the goal of every level.

And You can also use your magic to send the blocks flying and reorder them vertically.

Super clever, I really liked it

More block pushing goodness!

You go around pushing barrels on squares to help everyone on the island. There's also like trivia scattered around... I didn't really get that.

Anyway, the block pushing was fun enough
Worth it

This Serbian game is really rough

It's a basic 3D platformer with janky physics...

But you can still see the passion and effort that was put into the game

I can respect that... But still, the game is not good

Sokobond is a very fun "atom-pusher"

You must create molecules by bonding elements like they would in real life

First half is pretty easy but it does ramp up in the second one

Thanks @topspot123.bsky.social for the recommendation

Towerfall is such a fun couch co-op experience
Jump around, shoot arrows and avoid friendly fire

We did not get credits but I got through the story mode with my brother

An awesome new stage with a pretty ridiculously hard boos fight (but It did get nerfed a bit since then)

I still fully recommend the game
It's so fun
