perfect 4koma

they're clearly talented and they've got the juice. i want to see their game reach its full potential

for me the bottom line is im just happy that there is a new indie dev who wanted to make a new stg and put it out there. i hope they can internalize all the feedback they've been given by experienced players and revisit the genre later to make something better

the fact is that of all of 2025's releases, birdcage is one of the games that has provoked the biggest reaction from me. is that an indictment of the field? maybe. does this on its own earn its inclusion on my personal GOTY list? idk, i'm probably overthinking this, who cares

my first impressions after clearing the game were that its pretty shallow all around without much long-term appeal, but it's a pretty fun flash in the pan despite some baffling design decisions

after the amazing pc release of under defeat, i was hoping mamorukun would also get a great new arrange, but as it is it's just mamorukun as-is, which is good. i think they were probably considering it which led to them planning the sequel instead, which is fair

the kid loves bluey but has never seen the show before. fake fan
