I should give it a shot

I thought 10S Forever would be a fun concept and nothing super crazy but I also got one of the best boss fights of the year out of this, wizard you asshole

also duck doesn't get nearly as much love as turtle in this, divedash is insane

I also got thrown off by this, but so far it seems like laamp's shops have the lost world equivalent levels but just no requirement to enter other than the few moons? it's weird but I kinda dig it
less into some of the weird unintuitive layouts on a few bonus levels though

holy shit, no wonder this is a former housemarque dev. feels like someone mashed gradius' upgrade system into resogun, stage chains aren't super hard to maintain but combo multipliers require a lot of forethought and reaction on boosts. bosses are actually satisfying to full chain.

Leap Year (2024)
another little puzzly figure-out-the-rules one, conveniently enough this was in a bundle with linelith and Öoo, super recommend. this reminded me of An Untitled Story based on the art but this is all about platforming without killing yourself because you're the guy from spelunker

Linelith (2022)
breezy little puzzle game that makes you figure out the rules and then rethink previous assumptions about them later. great level of polish, kinda feels like if this was a flash game back then everyone would have lost their shit over it

good job! I wasn't around to catch it but hope you enjoyed

He's a bat, I thought he was a rat

Also pls play Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, GOATed game

this was fun! platforming feels satisfying and akin to HK1, bosses have some interesting designs but some wacky hitboxes make the combat just a little off, collectibles are kinda eh. the art direction is really lovely and story's heavy-handed but not bad. nice quick game to chew on

I hate that I can recognize this from Sonic X Episode 79 from hearing slowbeef's reading of it so many times
