*Just* Pacman?
But also it's a lot, there's a new enemy type that combines with existing ones giving them new properties that make things really chaotic, really fun item & interactive terrain items, it starts at a really nice pace, is 1cc'able instead of infinite looping/caravan style,FEELS AMAZING

It's such an absurdly difficult up hill battle when even the "fans" and most damningly the devs think that shit

So many popular infinitely looping arcade games from the 80s devolve into multi hour long insane endurance marathons when played for score, so it's crazy to see that Elevator Action high score runs are like 40 min to an hour right now despite some damn good players taking a stab at scoring the game

Infinite list. Nearly any good arcade platformer for starters. Think how Bionic Commando, a highly randomized, enemy focused, chaotic Fujiwara style platformer, was turned into an extremely static terrain focused NES platformer which then just became the identity of the series

I'm a lifelong fan of Contra games but they are kinda slop design wise, definitely some of the worst tendencies of run n guns as a series. They never developed their most dynamic elements (normal enemies, shooting + levels) & instead abandoned them for boss fights and set pieces.It's a series where-

Different strokes. I don't feel bothered at all by these limitations anymore so from my POV it's all upsides

Just homogenizes things too much. If you limit shooting directions that will naturally incentivize using movement to compensate for the player's limits (getting on the same floor for hori, getting above/below for verticals), whereas with diagonals u need to work x10 harder to incentivize mvmnt

Wrote a post talking about the design of Shinobi, Rolling Thunder & Elevator Action and how excellent of a run n gun template it was+how it developed over the years. I'd love to see more indie games take a crack at developing this, cuz Shinobi devs sure as fuck won't

Yeah but we already have teleport mechanics like Dante's trickster teleport or Bayo's lock on teleport for that type of stuff which feel completely manual. SUCC just makes everything feel less stylish by fucking with natural animation curves and so on. Who tf thinks this is stylish?

Made a joke about how football games had suck to target for ages so maybe sports devs infiltrated action games and brought that crap with them. Then, for unrelated reasons, checked NG4's mobygames' to see who designed it and saw *it* 😨

Developers will do literally everything but slow down the player movement speed including bending spacetime
