@coheedandcambria.bsky.social have dropped Act 3 in the Vaxis story-The Father of Make Believe! This story calls back to a previous album Afterman.

I actually created a game based on Afterman - to celebrate I will be making a video to explain the adaptation!

Living rent free in my head: when I was playing Pokemon Gold, I named all my Pokemon after my indoor soccer team.

So, yes, I had a Ho-oh named “Coach Bob”.🤣

Guys! Please help! I've been stuck playing Praxis Fighter X on PICO-8 all weekend!

This game is super addicting and fun, I will be making a full video soon.

[And by full I don't mean that I will beat the game bc this thing is chaotic.]

AstroBlaster is my first community GameBoy HomeBrew review. Check out this simple, clean vertical Shump. This game has great foundations and is a quick play-through. May also be a good start for kids!

"Lina: Witches of the Moon" on PICO-8 is a spooky shoot'em up that I will likely be playing for the next few weeks!

Written review here: anthonycaruso.substack.com/p/pico-8-pla...

This fast paced game will have you addicted; A perfect game to play if you only a few minutes to spare.

Crashing and burning is actually fun! Catch my review of Pico World Racer (PICO-8)on Substack!

Overall impressions: this is visually awesome for PICO-8 and gives the thrill of racing.

When I played through Pokemon Red a few years ago, I was able to beat the 8 gym leaders but was no where near ready for the Final 4. But to level up would have taken YEARS since all the top trainers I had beaten. Did anyone else experience this? Was I too efficient with progress?

X Zero is one of my favorite platformers from PICO-8.
"Hack all the terminals and defeat the boss." This is one of my go -to games on the commute, really simple but also super fun.
