Ninpek is filtering me hard, FUCK. the first part is a breeze but these pig-faced jumping faggots can rot in hell the floaty red things later on are hell, too
I fucking hate Magic Garden so much
>>689440526When they have only one or two levels of elevation that they jump from, it's easy. Anything more and I just avoid them like the plague and double jump past them.
>>689440298>NOOOOOOOO STOP DISCUSSING VIDYA!!!
For me, it's Mortol
>>689440709You can freely discuss non-woke vidya. But you're a marketer for woke shit
>>689440529I liked it when I was gold trophying itNow that it's cheery mode, I hate it
>>689438108Kick club: Decent platformer "kick the ball into enemies" game, I just thought it was boring though.Avianos: It's sorta like card game Civ 5? You choose a god from 3 out of 5 and they give you resources, spend resources, or raise units, and you want to capture stuff. I kinda liked it, but I'll save it for way later, probably, I'm not gripped.Mooncat: Wtf I played this whole game to the end, the controls are weird-ish, but honestly fine, I liked the weird stuff I kept finding and the controls grew on me. Being my only gold cart so far and the game said I got 1 of 3 eggs, I'll definitely play it again.Bushido ball: Kind of like pong, but with samurai gimmicks. I beat 2 competitors in the tournament and dipped, and I'm not excited to go back basically.Block Koala: Sokoban but with numbered blocks. Only blocks in descending or equal order can be pushed, so you can push a chain of 5-4-3-2 blocks in a row, but not a chain of 2-3 blocks. Honestly, I'm not interested in sokoban, I don't think I'll go back.
>>689440529If I can do it so can you.
Velgress is too stressful desu senpai
>>689440850>>>/pol/
>>689441221Ah ah ah!Not so fast, sweetie
>>689441263Take it easy, you are probably trying to climb too fast. Get most coins in the first level and you'll be able to get some good shit.

>>689441792I'm stuck in a stage that has some balls with spikes. Shit gets hard.
>>689441132Camoflage: Sort of linear puzzle game where you change your color to pass one area, which allows you to get a color to pass another area, and repeat. It's ok, but I dont think I'll go back.Campanella: Hey it's the helicopter game from highschool!!! but it's kinda boring and I don't want to play it.Golfaria: Holy crap legend of zelda but you're a golf ball, and it's open world. I really like it, favorited it, and I'm going back to it for sure.The great bell race: It's campanella but as a racing game, but I dont really like campanella, so I sorta snooze on it.Warptank: It's VVVVVV but you're a tank and can't actually jump except by teleporting to another wall. I kinda liked it ngl.20/50.
>>689440298if 800 daily turdtree threads and 600 daily chinaslop threads for over a month each were ok, I think just one or two threads on a game that released two days ago is fine. hide the thread, put up filters, and fuck off
how many fucking holes are in pingolf, this shit never ends, how am I supposed to win when one hole of the 500 i need to play fucks me over
that's some nice energy browould be a shame something happened to it
Party House is rigged.
>>68944268221 and 23 (end of c tier and d tier in your pic) have swapped pictures
is every game in this pretty difficult or am I nuts? Barbuta I cherried since it's not so much about reflexes or anything, just planning Bug Hunter, Ninpek and Paint Chase are all quite challenging, to me at least. Ninpek especially
>>689444395ninpek is not that bad if you are used to arcade action platformers imo
>>689444395I find every game difficult and I'm impressed you cherried Barbuta
>>689444395first row is generally harder than the rest, obviously many exceptions. not unlike earlier nes games.but yeah the past 2 days I just keep thinking "wow I actually need to try harder"
>>689443410This is the guy I like facing the mostThe carapace and drone guys make me fucking seethe
>>689444395Ninpek is the easiest one of those for mePaint Chase I think I'll get to eventually, just chipping awayI'm not sure I'll ever be able to cherry Bug Hunter
>>689440850This game doesn't need marketing. Keep coping and getting filtered, idpol brainlet.
>>689440850Not to further poison the thread with this gay shit, it really is weird how the definition for "not woke" keeps slipping further and further towards "isn't tacitly white supremecist".
>>689443005Waldorf's Journey: It's fucking jump king, I hate jump king. I dont wanna go back to it.Porgy: This might be the first game that looks like it was created for SNES rather than NES. Underwater exploration game, you explore as far as you can with your remaining fuel and then go back to restock. there are underwater fuel tanks which can extend your fuel supply permanently. I kinda liked it honestly.Onion Delivery: Chaotic top down GTA driving simulator where you have to get to 5 places every day, and every day things get more chaotic and more crazy shit happens. It's fine honestly, I kinda liked it.Caramel Caramel: It's life force(2d space shooter), I don't really care for these kind of games at all.Party House: It's kinda like a card game, you build a deck of partygoers, pull one card per click, and when you end the party/fill your board up you get points for each. Some goers create trouble, get too much and that round is invalidated. I really liked it, favorite it, and I'll go back to it.25/50, halfway through, some nice games so far, I like mortol, velgress, warp tank, mooncat, golfaria, porgy, and devilition.
>>689441221WTF? It has a win state and the palettes swap colors?? I bounce off of this game so hard and so fast... I will likely never see that shit, sadly.
mortol 2 is just better
>>689440298>you're not allowed to have a thread for a game three days after it launchestell that to the concord general that has had three duplicates in the catalog for a month
any games in the last 2 rows with a barbuta vibe?
does not have a reader.
>>689446567Mortol 2
>>689446735>readerYou mean a text-based game? I'd say Night Manor and Grimstone are both very text-reliant.
not any credit given. Nintendo is deleting all of That. Chain Chomp is a bbc
Mortol 1-B +24. Took a while to figure out how to get the alternating gold blocks.
>>689440529I'm only about 15 games in but this one I spent like a minute with before going "wtf is this gay shit" and never opened it again
>>689446986>triple digit livesHoly fuck, anon.
>>689446931jej
>>689445862Hot Foot: It's 2v2 dodgeball basically. I don't want to play it.Divers: It's a diving exploration game with RPGmaker combat... I like it, I'm interested to see what they'll do with it, favorited it and I'll go back to it.Train Heist: Decent stealth game where entering the line of sight of an enemy instantly kills you. It's kinda nice, I guess.Vainger: If I had a nickel for every time there was a VVVVVV-like game in this compilation, I'd have two nickels. It's basically metroid but you can reverse gravity on yourself all the time, it's fun.
>>689440298>Generals aren't allowed on this board.Good one.
How? Someone please tell me.
i get all the money from That. you now inundated with that. i literally get all of the money from That. jej you cannot win against Nintendo and konami
there was total and complete success with The Wonderful 101 you cannot argue or Attempt because of that
Your bot is misfiring, anon.
>>689447382The yellow blocks? You have to torpedo into a block to create a step earlier in the level, which allows the walking guy to come down and walk back and forth over the switch, alternating these yellow tiles.
>>689447204Wait I forgot the 30th game.Rock On Island: It's pretty good, it's basically bloons TD but very simplified. I don't feel like playing it though, I have enough TDs.30/50
>>689447090I haven't even optimised half the levels yet. You can get way higher than this, the cherry requirement is a freebie.
>warptankWait a second, this is just parallel universe Blaster Master.
Where do I use the key and magic rod in Barbuta?
HAH, fuck youI thought the cherry required 3 loops. got pretty far on the 2nd and the 2nd loop feels easier somehow, so shouldn't be too hard
Nintendo wins again. literally what will happen new Earthbound i not making that up. i win again.
>>689448259The magic rod is basically just a better weapon than the base sword since it has range. The key goes to the top of the map, you need the necklace to activate all the moving platforms
>>689448259magic rod is just for attacking. key is used 'upstairs', the first screen outside the starting room to the left, you'll need the necklace first. if you haven't found the necklace, look for a chest you probably keep going past
>mfw the skull ghost in BarbutaFUCK and I was progressing so nicely too
>>689444395You can filter by category, "quick play" (arcade, reflexes/skills), "epic play" (more regular/longer games), "thinky play" (puzzles)
>>689446986cherrypill me on Mortol. looks kinda chaotic. can you take your time and strategize with it?
>>689448831When you enter a new room, if you don't see a blip AND a red square then immediately go back a room and then into the room againNo blip = death skull is in the room with you
>>689448592>>689448689thanks anons
Yeah bwoi, another cherry :)
>>689449120>they get more sandwiches in the cherry screensoul. you got any tips? just beat it myself but I want the cherry, feels doable. I generally hand around the bottom of the screen at the start to take out the snakes, and hug the right a little bit so I can wipe enemies before they even do anything also some idiot said you can just hold the fire button but it makes them come out way slower than if you spam
speaking of Barbuta, here's the full map with everything on it, took me ages to make so fuck it
explain combatants
>>689448957You can take your time and plan out a route. The key thing to remember is that every three enemies you kill is +1 so every explosion try and kill an enemy, try and crush an enemy every block, etc. You can also chain abilities together and you're invincible when parachuting so you can abuse the hell out of that.
>>689449467I would just say sometimes it's best to evade rather than try to kill everything even if you've just died and have powered down shurikans I wouldn't bother trying to kill stuff until it feels safe to do, I tend to hang out on the upper most platform for the whole run as dropping down when needed is quicker than going up. Make sure you go for all the balloons though, I'm not sure exactly what triggers them to appear but you get a 1up for each one so they're a must.
>>689448023Pingolf: It's a 2d golf game with the gimmick that levels have a lot of pinball pins everywhere. I kinda liked it, don't know when I would play it though.Mortol 2: This game is an awesome concept, you get 99 lives and can pick any of 5 characters with it, and you can sacrifice a character to do something specific with it like make a platform, a teleporter, or bomb something, it's so complex and unique. Probably the best game in the list so far.Fist Hell: It's every 2d beat-em-up ever. I don't really care for it at all.Overbold: Double or nothing! You are in a battle arena and have to kill enemies, you get money after every combat. Before a combat, you can buy items which make you hit harder or have more HP, and you can add more enemies to get more money, it's nice.Campanella 2: I do not like campanella. This is campanella but made into more of an exploration game, which is nice, but I'm still not too big on it.30/50
>>68945088035/50, sorry
>>689447939Oh my fucking god, this is how I've been trying to do it all along
>>689447939Damn, it's honestly impressive how much juice they get out of three simple mechanics.
>>689449638based mapgod
uh oh
Zoldathbros, where we at?
>>689449638Dont worry fellow map autist... there's worse
>>689442682How do you get filtered by rakshasa
>>689451784cringe game
>>689451965Just not my thing, feels very generic besides the revival mechanic
>>689451973I just love talking with the aliens and trading shit with them.
>>689451784after winning on my third long play I can guarantee you my first two good attempts spawned the world WITHOUT the third map. that or there's something incredibly cryptic going on some of the time like it being hidden in just a normal bombable tile. truly awful game
I skipped golfaria initially because people were saying it sucked day 1. golfaria is GREAT. why the lies?
Velgress cherry requirements? I want to grind it but would rather know beforehand
does Campanella do the Asteroids / Lunar Lander thing where the boost is connected to A, so you have to feather it to control it? always loved that apparently there's two other games with the same controls, guessing The Big Bell Race and maybe another Campanella I'd check myself but I want to go chronologically and keep my screen clean
>>689452115>feels very generic besides the revival mechanicDid you even get a power up
>>689452758yes
>>689450880>>689450986Hyper Contender: Simple platform fightan game. I kinda liked it and got to level 8 on my first try, even if it's kinda chaotic and the knockback feels like playing spelunky.Valbrace: Amazing game, actually, it might as well be punchout meets pathways into darkness, and I loved it, so much exploration, so much fun styling on enemies, favorite and will finish it quickly I think.Rakshasa: Indian contra, with the gimmick being that if you get hit, your soul has to play a bullet hell collect-all-items minigame to revive you. If your soul gets hit in this minigame, it's over. Also, the more you die the more enemies spawn in this minigame. I liked it, there were some cool powerups, don't know when I would play it though.Star Waspit: Just a regular space shooter with the gimmick being that if you collect powerups in a certain order, you activate a certain effect. For example, EGG is different than GEG. I wasn't very impressed with it ngl.Grimstone: It's final fantasy, complete with open world and everything, I love these sort of games but I think I am forced to save it for way later. Favorite it and come back ngl.40/50
>>689443479The trouble mechanic sucks ass, couldve won if i had those extra turnsAlmost got the 4th aliens in my party but i just ran out of space since i was focusing on population instead of cash for expanding roomAlso the guy that invites another guy can overfill your party leading to a wasted turnIts pretty insane that they cost like 40 pop an alien though
>>689440298>Generals aren't allowed on this board. Buy an ad
>>689452685I was just about to ask that.My guess is you probably have to get all 3 keys to get to the final level and the third key is in the squid.
>>689452769No, if it doesn't hold my interest in 2 minutes I close it and try something else or continue the ones I'm enjoying. The C tier is "might give a second chance, maybe". I have no interest in finishing all of them or completionism, just gonna play what I enjoy.
>>689453627>No, if it doesn't hold my interest in 2 minutes I close it and try something else or continue the ones I'm enjoyingThere's a power up 10 seconds into the game. They are secrets. Have you never played castlevania? Holy moly, an actual zoomer.
This is genius. When you stumble upon it randomly, your first thought will be "oh shit, why didn't I pick that one first earlier". Devilish.
>>689454215what's the thing you should build first in this one? presumably something that increases your max moon drops but the resource thing costs 10 ingots or something?
>>689452758there is another...
>>689454464the hidden EXEC-HOVR game?
>>689440179What are the best games? Played around half of them, and most either felt like some knock-off of games that already exist, or are unneccesarily convoluted while never offering explanation as to what you're supposed to do.
>>689454209Like I said "might revisit". I'm not going to process 50 games in 2 days. What kind of secrets? Is there interesting ideas and exploratory level design like Barbuta? That's the kind of stuff that holds my attention. If I want to play Castlevania there's a dozen of them and a thousand knockoffs out there. I'm the weird autist who prefers Vampire Killer to Castlevania 1.
>>689454716depends what sort of stuff you enjoyin general, it seems like people tend to enjoy:>Valbrace>Night Manor >Velgress>Bug Hunter if you're into strategy>Golfarnia >Pingolf >Rail Heist >Mortol, Mortol II >Campanella 1 and 2 >Mooncat if you can deal with weird controls >Porgy seems to be love it or hate it >Barbuta if you're a patrician
>>689451181Jesus Christ, anon... lmao
>>689453327Lords of Diskonia: Holy crap it's marbles!!! Basically, you launch your own pins into enemies to damage them, during your turn ALL pin collisions between you and the enemy deals damage to the enemy, and vice versa during their turns. There's also a campaign/stages where you explore a map to upgrade your marble deck. It's pretty cool.Night Manor: I gotta be honest, I'm gonna give this one a pass, chief, the warning label at the start is scary and this game looks like it could be horror.Elfazar's hat: 2d top down shooter with the gimmick that cards you get can create a special powerup depending on what you collected. I wasn't very gripped honestly.Pilot Quest: An idle game? In the 1980s???? Basically the game is an idle-ish game where you wait for your hunter and moon tree to generate resources that you use to explore the wild zone(to get more materials and resources) and to build your homebase, respectively. It's alright, I don't like idling games though.Mini and Max: It's sort of a metroidvania, you can shrink yourself down to explore the shelves in your house, and if you stand on top of the shelves in bigmode, you can shrink down to them in smallmode, and it opens up some non linear exploration. I kinda like it.45/50, we're at the home stretch.
>>689455334>That's the kind of stuff that holds my attention.You mean super easy rat mazes?
>>689449798The only truly bad game in the collection. Don't waste your time with it.
>>689455804i don't understand it. i want to give it a chance. i don't know how to make my dudes do what i want them to do.
Anyone played golfaria?Where the fuck do you go in the temple to get the (I'm guessing) sand item
>>689453564Replace this with a picture of a jeet, and yeah.
>>689455783Yeah. Walking from left to right is too complex for me.
>>689454716I thought I would hate nes-style puzzlers but devilition and avianos were super fun and I cherried in one sitting. haven't gotten further than that
>>689453482Party house is EZ. I can cherry that and Bug Hunter in my sleep but get filtered hard by the reflex games. I guess if we were in an RPG party, reflex players would be monks and thieves, methodical Barbuta players would be fighters, and thinky game players would be mages.
>>689455732Night Manor was the best game for me, very compelling. Not that scary really.
>>689451181
>>689456130I unironically think it is if you weren't able to find the power ups, which correlate with background features, are hidden in torches, down in pits, stuck in walls, etc. Like if you didn't think to break a single torch that might be an indicator that the games you are playing are not as cerebral as you thought.
>>689455732>Night Manor: I gotta be honest, I'm gonna give this one a pass, chief, the warning label at the start is scary and this game looks like it could be horror.lmao, pussy
>There are people here that already played all 50 games while I haven't even tried 10 yetOdd feeling
>>6894566368 here and I haven't even cherried one yet.
>>689456818basedThere's not gonna be anything like this in a long while, or possibly ever again, I'm gonna fully savor this shit
I just realized this collection got all the way up to 2500 players. That's honestly a lot more than I expected.
>>689456636been playing about 15-17 hours and I've only done this. accidentally clicked the dino gamegoing chronologically instead of all over the place gives you the advantage of seeing the games progress in technology, ideas, what characters they use and which show up in other games, how the game sequels or spiritual successors evolve, as well as seeing the meta-narrative developer stuff progress with what developers do slow and steady wins the race
>>689456973I expected it to be a bigger hit with how soulful it isMaybe people aren't just that interested in overly retro shit
>>689440179There's something creepy about that gameEspecially those three higher notes that somehow disturb the whole song
I've spent way too much time trying to cherry fucking Magic GardenWhat a piece of shit gameWHAT WERE THEY THINKING WITH THAT HIGH SCORE?
it is done
>>689457115>There's something creepy about that gameI think it's all the ghosts
>>689457014Good luck cherrying Ninpek, bro. It's not that hard. The fishes and mushrooms get harder but the crocodiles get easier.
>>689456414My bad. I did hit the torches. So I did get power ups. But I still don't see what's not generic about the non-dead gameplay.
>>689457275ghosts are not creepy thoughyou are not creepy
*sips monster energy* yeeep, just like the good old days
>>689457891Fair play to people who do this but I never had this specific type of autism
>all the anons in previous threads complaining about GolfariaWut? It's one of the easiest games in the pack, there are upgrades everywhere and you lose nothing for dying, it just teleports you to the most recent checkpoint with all your stuff.
>>689455732Combat ants: I think I don't understand the game or something, cuz I don't know how to do anything other than control my own character and get others to follow SOMETIMES.Quibble race: It's a snail racing betting game where you can spray salt on the other contestants for a chance to ruin them. I can understand the concept, but I dont want to play it ever honestly.Seaside drive: It's heavy weapon deluxe by popcap games, holy crap. Anyway, it's pretty simplistic and I wasn't very thrilled with it, but it's cool I guess.Campanella 3: Oh boy another campanella game, I sure am excited for- wait, this one DOESNT have helicopter controls, it's practically space harrier, it's pretty good. I'm into it, I can play it.Cyber Owls: Probably the best game to cap the whole thing off. It's 4 games in one, one is metal gear MSX, one is a generic beat em up, one is an almost-rail shooter(dont know how to describe it), and one is a motorcycle chase shooter. It's very varied and each of the parts is good, it's pretty high quality ngl. Good game for sure.50/50
>>689458017only real reason I mapped it out by hand is because the steam overlay screenshot function is broken for some reason
>>689452397It was probably behind an item trade with an NPC that needs the translator for
So what do the candy, trash and umbrella do in Barbuta?
>>689457707>But I still don't see what's not generic about the non-dead gameplay.The wide variety of monsters and effects presented in an oppressive density that would not be present in any castlevania or it's clones. It's like a mash up of castlevania and Ghosts and Goblins, which is wholly unique in its execution.
>>689458229That's all of them, thanks for coming with me on this journey. These are my favorites so far, I'll maybe post a top 5 and bottom 5 soon.
>>689458397Candy makes you go faster, especially when climbing ladders
>>689458397candy makes you climb ladders faster. needed if you want to go the 'pay guy 500g to smash door' route to the boss trash does nothing umbrella lets you climb that one ladder near the bubbles and death blocks where acid drips down on you
>>689457891Very based
>>689457891KINO
Magic Garden is pretty fun, seemed like people really disliked it only saved 38 on my best run and need 200, so maybe it'll get hard as shit later on. what's the cherry for it?
>after 3 hours of tries I finally beat Velgress level 3>mfw I actually beat level 4 first try and cherry itit took me like like 2 hours and 50 minutes to figure out you don't need to button mash to shoot
>>689459454score 20k
Seaside Drive is fucking awesome.Fuck the 3rd stage though.
>>689459454It doesn't really get harderIt's just the same shit forever
does the dungeon crawler game have randomly generated maps, or can I indulge my mapping autism?
>>689459994Random spawn point, but the maps are the same every time.
i bought the ship fuel in pilot questit just loops and there is a prestige mechanici got a gold disc not a cherry one what the fuck that took hours
>>689458572Anyway after playing all 50 in the last about 4 hours, I would say:Top 5:5) Mortol 24) Vainger3) Golfaria2) Velgress1) ValbraceHonorable mentions: Mooncat, Mortol 1Bottom 5:5) Hot foot4) Kick club3) Waldorf's Journey2) Quibble Race1) CombatantsI dont really have a bottom 5, I'm sorry, but the last 3 are guaranteed bottom 3
I thought Overbold was pretty cool, like a smash tv clone with a gambling and shop mechanic. Got gold, going for cherry.
>>689459475I just beat regular ending after 7 hours cause I suck but I still had fun doing it. Beat it in under 3 minutes though which really makes me think how many failed attempts I had.How do you get to level 4 so I can put another 7 hours into it?
>>689460640I hate how awkward it is to change firing direction. Also I tried to game the system with the medkit once but it doesn't carry over between rounds.
>>689460352Oh I guess I should just buy it then, I've been trying to get the Idol first.
>excited for mooncat since it's supposed to be a spiritual sequel to barbuta>it's just le quirky movement platformer insteadfuck you thorson petter you hack
>>689460709You need the three keys, I guess? I didn't even know it was a requirement for level 4.
>>689459904only 17 minutes in and I kinda nearly beat it. cherry will be a piece of piss, this is nothing compared to Ninpek
>>689460953meant to reply to the Anon that said try 20k, whatever
Just a question, is this game just like >50 games all totally separate from eachother nothing really cool or hiddenOr is kind of ARG like >50 games, weird secrets that paint a bigger picture, some games linked togetherKinda shit?
>>689461332The latter
>>689461332It's 50 separate games with some references between them and a little bit of optional meta autism.
>>689460928Yeah that's it. The game just ends at stage 3 if you don't have them.>>689460352Is there some point Pilot Quest becomes fun? I keep booting it up because of the gem cap and having an absolute miserable time with it.I get the predatory time gating stuff to it but does it let up at some point and become enjoyable?
>>689461553>>689461587Nice, I think I'll pirate it! Also, not sure if it matters but I'm also trans.
>make a potion >pick up a load of pink blobs>abandon them on purpose>grab potion and chain them all
>>689458559Fair enough. I assumed it was just a Castlevania-like. Gave it a second try and it feels much harder.
>>689461613Once you have a few of the trees you can buy out all the meat every time and with the extra yo-yo you can actually explore. It's still not fun, because you know, time gating is cancer.
>>689442682Mooncat is an s tier game

>>689461760I found two warps and one just skipped ahead in the main game and another took me to an empty room and did nothing. so basically Ive played through the main levels twice and am clueless as to where the other stuff is.
>>689461613gems quickly become basically worthlessif anything just buy meat until the cap, go out adventuring and come backeventually it is just full auto to the end (10-15 hours?)or you can adventure for the stuff you need (if you don't suck) but it will take multiple hours of grinding activelyas for fun, neverunless you already like incremental games

Another Cherry, overbold this time, only just did it.
>>689462573I say this and look like this
>>689461707Magic Garden beat, only took 30 minutes and beat with a score of 15k, easy peasy. fun game, wish it had an endless mode. also appreciate that this is a bit easier than the ones before it, a nice change of pace getting the cherry is probably just a matter of risking carrying a load of pinks and then dropping them outside the stars, then chugging a potion to chain them all

Is Pilot Quest an epic meta commentary on idle games that punishes the player as part of its message?
is this game like retro game challenge
>>689463695more or less yeah, they're pretty hard, although maybe they get easier as the games go on
>playing devilition>set up the perfect chain>detonate the wrong one like an absolute fucking retard and lose>>689463695people have drawn comparison to it, yeah
>>689463695If you know what Retro Game Challenge is you should already own this game.Played the fuck out of 1 and 2 recently and I have 32 hours in UFO 50 so far.
>>689440179So how's everyone's progress in Grimstone?I have Anna, Bull, Doc, and Lee at level 4Is Lee supposed to be a Blue Mage?
>>689457891not any credit given That can't do with that origami literally not making that up jej.
you supposed to do with that with a single stroke of pencil That doesn't have a reader and is Not Strong Enough jej.

For anyone who wants easy wins in Bushido Ball, playing Yamada and doing Forward Roll + Lob Shot on your serve is a guaranteed point against CPUs.

this is my hourly zoldath hate posthow i wish to be freed from this tormenti just want to cherry this trash and be done with it
>>689454401Don't stress too much over it. You'll progress fast through it while playing the other games.
>>689465685All you'd have to do to make this tolerable is make it a series of smaller levels, like toejam and earl. Some Rogue-esque item variation would be good too.
>>689457084Word of mouth will be slow but this should easily win indie goty and ride a second wave in december.
a toast... to gamers!
>>689465360are balloons score dependent in some cases? I can get two to spawn near the start, but I swear it was just one when I was shit at it
>>689466436One spawns every 3000 Points outside of moments where one will always spawn.
>breezed through the street level in zombie beat em up on the first try the first time I booted it>kept dying in subway>boot game again>doesn't continue from progress>now I can't even complete the streets anymore
Gentlemen, I bring you a coffee map for the UFOsoft CLASSIC Campanella. Now you don't have to spend 16 lives finding it in C-7.(enter the flower square to spawn the coffee; the warps skip you ahead three levels but are only there the first 10 seconds of the level. They're also invisible which is why I didn't show them after stage A)It's fun. The game's really pure. You get good at moving around, and that's it, you can beat it.My high score's 65400, see if you can beat it.
>>689466592oh, damn. in that case it's worth breaking the spikey balls when you can, easy points when there's a bit of down-time I was thinking that collecting the balloons for score was worthless and that score was there for the fuck of it like a lot of old retro games, so that's a nice touch
test test
this game was made with Game Maker, right? hoping it's easy to rip sprites from it, I wanna study the pixel art
YES AUSTIN HAS CLEANED UP AGAIN AND ACTUALLY HAS GOTTEN TO A NEW STEP OF THIS DURING THEIR CURATED MUSEUM WALKTHROUGH WE ARE NOT MAKING THIS UP YES YET AGAIN AUSTIN HAS VIEWED THEMSELVES NOT ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING AND BY ACCEPTING TO DO SO HAS CLEANED UP SO MANY ACTUAL STUFF OF THAT WE ARE NOT MAKING THAT UP YES GRATULATIONS AUSTIN YOU ARE NOW PROCEED IN THE CURATED WALKTHROUGH OF THE MUSEUM EVENT AND YES MUSEUM IS ACTUALLY A VIDEO GAME AND VIDEOGAME GENRE THANK YOU AUSTIN FOR CLEANING UP AGAIN THAT DID NOT THINK YOU KNEW HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THROUGH ANY OF THAT
>>689466886Yeah, that one little mechanic gives the game so much extra depth, it's really smart, especially since you still need to shoot the life balloon so it'll be easier or harder depending on when you spawn them (and you can choose when considering you ONLY gain score from pickups). Makes the sandwich drops worth the risk too for the big 500. It's really shot Ninpek up my ranking.
>>689465685I played it once and got cherry of my first attempt with a 20 minute run. It won't even tell me what the cherry objective is after you obtain it so I don't even know what I did.
yes austin is now proceeding with the curated walkthrough of the museum event we letting you know that by viewing yourself not actually doing something and for now over 20 years you have cleaned up all of That again That thought it had\ Perfect ID Yank Rips of a team. you have successfully cleaned up again and can proceed. you would keep viewing yourself not actually doing something because of a kind of compulsive need to clean whatever That is up thankyou.
>>689466886>>689467348Correction, I just had my best run so far (got to just past the second set of cherries) and I got a balloon on 12000 but not 9000. Of course I lost my last life before I could shoot the 12k balloon.
>>689467129>this game was made with Game Maker, rightNo, the alpha was.
>>689467475no idea why they don't tell you the cherry condition at the start
it's amusing how many good games can be made out of just a d-pad and two buttons
give me your best kick club tips, I can't even make it to stage 20
>>689468578it is gamemaker retard
>>689466852I've never been good at these
>>689440298Explain the AI slop general then.
>>689440298You will never be a janny.
There's no way I can be filtered by just Level 2 of Camouflage, right? I have no clue how to get the little fella to safety after I pick him up, not to mention I also have no clue how I'm supposed to get Brown without being seen.
Valbrace is fucking great because it combines the fun exploration of old-school dungeon crawlers with the dynamic combat of something like Punch-Out instead of relying on turn-based combat. This is a great formula, and I'm surprised that no one tried this before. I want a larger game in this style.
this is embarrassing. i'm never touching this shit again.>>689471163hold on buddy i'll draw a map for you in a minute.
>>689471163the trick is realizing the top frog no longer matters once you're at where you're at.
>>689471163pressing the other button shows you enemy sight lines, rocks etc. interrupt them. looking in that mode makes it pretty obvious most of the time
>>689440179>what if Action 52 in 2024 l0lThis game is like a textbook caricature of "generic indieslop" that indie haters pretend all indie games are.
>>689471842I might be retarded. For some reason I thought traveling straight up was going to get me seen.
how to beat the attactics level 4 where you get shield and sword guys against an onslaught of sword and arrows? I dont have enough to cover the lanes and it always spawns a shield faggot behind a sword one so whats the point
Finally beat Velgressthe "bullets don't break clouds" upgrade felt absolutely essential. I didnt have triple jump or anything but the boss still went down easy because of clouds not being shootable
>>689440179How many games are on this?
>>689473039its in the title
Should I play this game with controller or keyboard?
>>689473262its a controller game
>>689473262It's easily played on either but controller makes more sense unless all your controllers have bad D-Pads.
>>689473262You're gonna want a controller for most of the shmups at least.
>>689448215gave me VVVVV vibes
There will be autismos in this thread cherry'ing every game and getting the super sekrit meta lore and 52nd game. but i will not be that autismo. i dont have the attention span for half of these

>>689467129>I wanna study the pixel artWhy?I thought the graphics were garbage. It's exactly what you'd expect from the famous case of “pixel art in the indie view”.
>>689460446I don't know how half the puzzle games work
>>689476389I don't think the games look bad so to speak but the human character designs for many of the games are the biggest tell that these are modern games to the unaware observer. A good chunk of them look too closely to Spelunky's characters, most notably with the "main" guy in Bushido Ball.
>>689476690I think it's fine being that's it's an entirely seperate console that could have existed during the period.
>>689477861I could see it being a "house style" or a specific sprite artist I suppose, and there's enough variety in what you even play as that it's not always in your face.
>>689478207You might find this interesting.https://www.derekyu.com/makegames/pixelart.html
Pilot Quest is the worst fucking "game". If UFOSoft was a real company that shit would've been torn to shreds. Reviewers from that era were not nice people.
>>689478767yes, but you don't have to beat all 50 games.
>>689479110Don't lie, if you don't beat all the games Derek personally comes to your house and shits on your lawn.
>the skull doesn't visibly appear for 2 secondsAHAHAHA SO TROLLY
>>689479110thank god for that. For as much shit thatBerbuta gets, at least you're supposed to actually play it
Hey fags.When you type “HELP-anything” in the terminal, you get a “bad parameter” instead of an invalid code. I think that means HELP is a command in the terminal or something.Note: I don't know if you've figured out how to use this shit, I just tried something random here
>>6894803860000Good luck
>>689478767Especially considering from the looks of it UFO Soft was UK based. They were especially vicious reviewers.
I beat Divers, if anyone wants tips.Didn't find all three emblems though, which is the cherry condition. I did find 2 though.
>>689480643I think I managed to run the secret game (you control a brown frog). Is that what the terminal is for or is there more to it?
>>689482751how do you start the game optimally?
who /cherrymaxxing/ here?
Is there anywhere to check how long each game is, in terms of levels/stages? Just want to gauge how deep I've been getting, like how I've reached A-8 in Campanella twice now in like 20 minutes playing.
>>689483351I went all offense, they can't hit you if they die in one turn after all. Never bought or used a shield.So for the start, I think that's 6 sticks. Then it's a matter of knowing the enemy's elemental weakness. You get useful items as you go, but for the final boss I had 5 tridents and a potion.Took 7 hours, but a ton of that is just exploration moreso than combat.
>>689484158Campanella has 5 worlds with 10 stages each. They seem to like to make the number of stages 5, 25 or 50 (with some exceptions). Generally, if a game doesn't save your progress, you can usually beat it in 15 minutes.
So, has anyone been trying to figure out the major influences for each game?Like, Barbuta reminds me of Castle of Druaga mixed with this one other NES side scroller whose name I'm forgetting.Mortol feels very lemmings influenced (probably my favorite game so far.)Velgress reminds me of this one old computer game, sort of like Mighty Bomb Jack. I can't remember.It's been a lot of fun trying to pick out the influences here.
Should I cherry each game before moving on? Keep in mind I'm very bad at video games and I've been stuck on Night Manor and Party House for 3 days.Also since this collection is at the zenith of its popularity right now I might as well ask how to get farther
>>689486094Grimstone feels like Final Fantasy x Shadow Hearts x Wild Arms
>>689486247>Should I cherry each game before moving on?No, because there are games that are legitimately bad and you'll end up getting burned if you force yourself to play them instead of trying the good ones.
>>689486247You can't really do that anyways because Pilot Quest is too gated to stick with it through the cherry
choice
Holy moly campanella rules
>>689474230>le gacha badyou wish this game was even a tenth the quality of any Hoyo game
I'm really enjoying Rock on Island but I'm getting filtered by the last mission, anyone done it and got any tips?
>>689487939>the quality of any Hoyo game
This review sold me. I'm gonna pirate this game
>>689488154damn those NES incremental games
>>689488154Can't wait for you to join us Mooncat Chads.
Derek Yu and his team are unironically one of the last bastions of great vidya. This project is basically them flexing that they're able to make 50 different great NES-styled game jam games.
>>689488724I don't know if you're the anon who's creating ironic shill messages, but let's not overdo it. There are quality indie games everywhere, especially if you're looking for something simpler and more arcadey.
>>689486094Velgress has influences from Metroid and Kid Icarus.
>>689489034This is my first time posting in one of these threads. Don't really care about /v/ shill bullshit, I just like video game ass video games In a cynical world full of live service and story game slop. Helps that I like Spelunky a lot.
Avianos is tight
>>689486094Barbuta also definitely has some Maze of Gallious influence.
I am the worst at point and click games lel even though they're always good>>689490392That sounds fun
>>689483089There is more, no one has figured it out completely yet.
>>689472552anyone?
81% of items and I don't know how to use them
>>689440179Does this game work on steam deck?
>>689486094Velgress is basically just Kid Icarus filtered through Ojiro's design philosophy. Downwell & Poinpy are better but those are standalone games so that's understandable.
>>689486094I'd love if a retro chad did a chart with all the obvious retro inspirations that made these games. I think aside from Bug Hunter, every game I've played so far must have had at least some.As for Barbuta, it feels so much like a C64 game to me.
I think there would have been potential here for there to be "secret games" that can be unlocked through special means and even a secret creepypasta game.
>>689493512And the creepypasta game could have connected to other normal games in ways you wouldn't expect.
This coffee is bullshit. The flower isn't even on-screen.
>>689493669I want to play this one next. I love Blaster Master.Then either the Maze of Galious game or the sokoban. :D
What's the requirement for the campanella 3 cherry?I got it the first time I beat the final boss so I never got to actually see what I did that unlocked it.
>>689492879kid icarus is dogshit. velgress is upwell
Only tried 20 games so far, 18.7 hours on Steam.
There's a 27th capsule here somewhere...Lying-ass cherry description says "all coffees" but I guess it needs all capsules too.
>>689440179>>Proceeds to massacre the village's entire faunaJust a village? Kirby has done worse when his food gets stolen
>>689484290is there any use for the hammer weapons? i though it would be good for the second area with the crabs but it did the same or less damage as a spearalso what do the evil potion and bomb do?
I started last night and only played and beat/cherried the first 3 games so far. I like Barbuta the best other than the slow movement. I feel like I'm still missing stuff about it. Can you kill the red skull? What is his significance?
>>689496661Bro back up I don't want trouble
>>689440179Volgath's MC kills a planet's population and steals resources everywhere for treasurePretty bad too
I've got the secret ending in Mini and Max and I still don't know how to get the ants to open their doors.
>>689465685I don't get it, why are you mad about this picture? 5 minutes in and you get a map piece for free.>>689467475Sub-20 minute run. 20 minutes in, your UFO gets defaced with "Fry" spray paint, so you need to beat the game before that happens.
>>689496878Ok it's understandable considering Pilot Quest.
>>689440850Is this game really woke?
How do you get blue skin?
Found out a secret way of getting the rod early in Barbuta, which is niceStill missing an item, though, I know exactly what it does, too. I just need to find it somewhere.
>>689441132I've finished Mooncat twice, I got the same ending both times, and the game still tells me I haven't seen HALF of the levels in Mooncat. Really great though.
>>689494549I love Kid Icarus but I can't figure out Velgress at all. I just fucking die almost instantly. I feel like my reflexes would have to be twice what they are.
>>689497131Yes. Over half the human characters are negroes and/or women.
How do Anons have the attention span to play Barbuta in the year 2024?
I did it!It only took me 3 days but I finally beat Barbuta without looking anything up! I probably would've beaten it in a day if I had figured out the fake acid pit earlier.What's surprising is that I didn't even need to explore the entire map in order to beat it. Am I missing out on something important or is that good enough?
>>689498182Because I already love shit like La Mulana.
>>689497865Holy shit, I did it. I prayed at the altar like the slime told me to.But what the fuck, I thought for sure the last item I was missing was gonna be some sort of iron boots to break the ice blocks. Also, I just now realized that you are meant to use the rod with the lever.BRAVO, THORSON
But where's the Mario game?
>>689498416I never could pull the lever myself, if you're supposed to hit it at the exact moment then that requires some pixel perfect precision. Fuck that noise.
Haha, it's probably weird but does anyone else think thay Eagle is kind of hot. Haha. Just joking.
>>689498416>I just now realized that you are meant to use the rod with the lever.Is that actually possible to do? Theres actually another easier way to hit the lever, but finding it is one of two BS things in the game.1. To get to the boss you walk over the spikes to get to the ladder.2. In the purple room on the right side with the two ladders and 1 green titan there is an invisible ladder up on one space that lets to go up, then back down to the right and wrap around to the switch on the left side.
>>689498125You want to actually slow down slightly since the floor only comes up when you move.Also, get past the first level and buy the upgrade that slows the floor breakdown speed. It significantly slows the gameplay down.I personally don't like the random generation in it, but it's kind of the name of the game for this type of arcade game.
>>689498547>>689498654Yeah, nevermind, it's not possible. Or at least not after you break the first ledge (Which doesn't come back)I'm not clicking that spoiler. The ledge continues to confound me.Actually, spoileranon, can you just tell me if it has to do with the umbrella?
>>689496524didn't use the hammer except for a special one you can find.evil potion lowers max HP of the person holding it, but works better than other potions.I used a bomb on the midboss in combat. They have a use out of combat as well.
my brain isn't working, how I'm I supposed to clear these to leave room for the star?
>>689498783Are you asking how to hit the lever? It is pure luck and could take hours from what I can tell. I couldnt find a hint in game for it. Read spoiler #2 if you want to know. Nothing to do with the umbrella which protects you from acid drips.
>>689499108nevermind, I got it.man this stuff is painful.
>>689498654>there is an invisible ladder up on one space that lets to go upThat is pure bullshit, at least the other invisible parts had hints that there was something odd.
This game reminded me how much I love video games
>>689499345Yes. I agree too. Unless I havent found it, but I think I got everything out of that game except for knowing the purpose of the red skull and if you can kill it.
>>689499228Oh KEK that makes a lot of sense with the umbrella actuallyI thought the acid was just bugged with its hit detection. I've been jumping for no reason.I checked your spoilers. I did manage to find the first one, had no idea about the second.
>>689469102It's amazing how good Mooncat is with effectively just a left and a right button.
>>689499345This 'sort of' has a hint, depending how you got there.If you didn't break the wall to get in you can't leave after entering, so there's very little you can do except try the leap of faith.
Yeah getting cherries in some of these would need real gaming skill lel. I'll just accept my golds and move on.
>>689440179this worth the asking price? how many of the games are shovelware tier?
>>689500365>this worth the asking price?Well worth it, in my opinion>how many of the games are shovelware tier?There's gonna be games here that you're gonna consider shovelware tier, but there's no game that /v/ unanimously agrees is that. Most people dislike Zolgath, but I loved it. I know most people hate the Golf RPG too, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.I have nearly 30 hours in the game and I still only played the first 8 games. Gonna try the 9th now. I think that speaks to how good I think this is.
>>689500365>this worth the asking price?I'd say so, especially with the early-adopter discount.>how many of the games are shovelware tier?Maybe 3 or 4
>>689498185why would you overlay it like that instead of just labeling the axes...
>>689499228Alright, thanks for the tip on the finding the lever. I got a great spook out of the mimic kekI'm pretty sure I know what to do now in regards to a few other things I hadn't fully pictured yet. The last hints give it away. And I see that there's actually a THIRD way to get to the boss, which is cool. I still need to try the most obvious way which is just paying the guy the 500 goldI actually have just one more question out of curiosity, cause I think I might have seen every room in the game by now. Is there a way to get the candy and the trash without buying them in the store?
Overbold strategy? How much do you go for each round? 300? 400? More?
>>689500761Not that I know of. Those are the only two items you have to buy. No idea what the trash does either, if anything.
>>689501215I've been doing 200 for the 2nd and then 300 from there. I fucking love this game.
>penis man adventure>finally a metroidvania and not some ballbusting arcade shooter>teleport to the second world>game turns into a precision platformer
>>689501420I hate the plant fuckers. I still haven't beaten it, but I've gotten to the final boss a few times
I would have gladly paid 25 dollars for cube koala, camouflage & golfaria. the fact I haven't even touched nearly 80% of the discography is actually so exciting to meit genuinely feels like when you were a kid, and your parents just had this random assortment of games for you to play
>>689493106Idk if that's such a good idea while Nintendo is in another of its litigious phases lelPic related is Adventure Island but tower defense. The dino rushes are cute and the bones you throw have a cute sound effect.
>>689440179lmao this game looks terrible
Does anyone have a map for Pilot Quest? I'm looking for the third UFO part and whatever plays music.
>>689502250this game is hard as balls, granted I don't play many tower defense games, but it's really kicking my ass
>>689465089How do you do this move being described?
>>689440526I've seen those fucking snails before in another game
>>689501232How many rooms have you seen, by the way?

finally beat it

>>689502452Hold right, hit A to roll, then hold left after the roll and hit X to hit the ball
I finally POPPED MY CHERRY on Magic Garden bros... let's go!
>>689503079How long did it take you' I've been trying to do it for nearly 5 hours. I finally figured out the optimal way of doing it, now it's just executing.I don't even like this game all that much, but fuck, the cherry seemed so in sight for so long that they got me.
I really like the walrus game.
Set three chickens in a triangle on round 1 and then put a campfire between them laterTar and fire the enemies near the entranceUpgrade your weapon speed???Profit?I can't beat level 2
>>689504080*tar and wheel
I played the first couple of games. I am not impressed. I will refund this. Maybe I will get it later at a reduced price.
Attactics is pretty fun. Kind of wish this had online, seems like a perfect game for it.
>>689504080Those blue bastards honestly have so much health
I've only played Barbuta so far but I really like it. What other games do you recommend I try next?
>>689504712Based BarbutabroHaven't played it yet, but I heard multiple anons saying that "Mooncat" is meant to be the spiritual successor of Barbuta.In terms of the games I tried, I suggest Mortol and Velgress. And if you like turn based strategy roguelike type stuff, then the game immediately after Barbuta, Bug Hunter.
2% hackers?
>>689504993There's always this small percentage of people who use a cheevo unlocker on every game they have for some reason.

JRPG is designed so that if you refuse to pick a nig in your team, you have to pick the dog which is the weakest member. Literally designed to own the chuds.
>>689471269I think there's an old PC or NES game like this. I cannot remember.

I wish I had money to but it. Is it on switch?
>>689506189hyper contender is so fucking awful holy shit. frame 1 invincible lunging melee attacks, some of which have incredibly low endlag. the game would've been far better if they removed them entirely, and made it less likely for rings to bounce towards your opponent's side when you hit them, AND made the stun after getting hit be longer than half a second so that you actually are rewarded for hitting the enemy with some rate of consistency... so basically if everything was done different the game might be fun for a short while. they didnt even bother programming the gravity flip guy cpu.
So how are the sales? I was expecting this to blow up bigger
Why didn't the Mortolians just fly the plane to the center?
>>689507124What did you want to (You) me with, bro?>>689507198Seem pretty lackluster, which is a shame. I was also expecting it to blow up, especially since it's made by the Spelunky devs and I know there's a lot of Spelunkyfags around.Were were you, Spelunkyfags? Why are us retrochads having to carry the burden?
>>689507198this game hasn't even had a weekend yeta year from now the sales will be that of a good indie success
If I loved Barbuta will I love La Mulana?
>>689507291your post is illegible
>>689464996So we have a sweet Japan-bro posting on this thread?
>>689507317Yes, screenshot everything. F12 is your new best friend.
>>689507317people have been comparing thempersonally I think la mulana is an ugly game in many ways and barbuta was just short enough to keep my interest. far too much bullshit in la mulana for my tastes
I like the concept of Porgy but it sucks.. the shooting is awful, and it's tedious as fuck how there's a very slim chance you can recover fuel or whatever and it's just fucked.
>>689507483I've played all the games for at least half an hour, Porgy is like the 3rd worst
>>689507317Probably. Similar design spirit. It plays faster and is more polished, more satisfying platforming. But the biggest difference is LM's scale is much bigger, it's one big metroidvania map with many interconnected levels, and it's more focused on puzzle riddles, and some are extremely obtuse and require you to pay attention to every tiny detail and try every possible interaction.
>>689451181This is why I refunded the fucking game kekliteral skill issue/me being retarded but I'm not pissed off enough to give it a bad review. It's just not for me.
>>689451942What game?
I quit out of Mooncat a little to far in only to find it didn't save.I'm making a habit of quitting out immediately from now on so I can read the stats screen first.
>>689507317yesalso try out l'abbaye des morts for a quick (free) fix
>>689504712Like the other anon said, I enjoyed Barbuta and Mooncat has a similar feel, it's just the controllers feel kinda wonky at first but then they feel unique and manageable.
>>689507221Because the Mortolian kingdom actually made the ritual to wake the monsters up to deal with mass overpopulationAnd don't get fooled by the "extra lives", those are just heroic acts that get more people to join the ranks of the suiciders

>>689508541AaaaaiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeI got 13k points but failed at 103 saved oppies, I'm not even playing Magic Garden today, I need a break from it cause it's pissing me off
First cherry. See you in hell Velgrath. Cherry and completion on the first run.Was fun. Getting the slower ground breaking item really changes the game.
>>689442682
>>689509263rock on island? I thought it was a tower defense but how do you place towers? what a piece of shit game
FUCK THIS LEVEL
>>689509263Ninpek and Attactics bros...
>>689507124I will try Hyper Contender again to see if I can get used to the controls, but playing it feels like trying to masturbate in a straight jacket
>>689508403oh hey cool game, thanks for the recc
so how much of the dev team is made of trannies so I can know whether or not I should enjoy this
>Worthless vague loreVGH... SOVL!
>>689510361Zoldath may have ok dialogue/lore but god does it suck to play
>>689440179don't steal the fucker's sandwich, 'imple as.
>>689510361Charkas... Forgive me...
>>689510361Bardok sounds based
>>689508085Ok, but then what do the Mortolians tell their soldiers when they ask them why they didn't just fly the plane to the center?
>>689510624No individual knows jackshit about the long term plans.>You're a pawn>See darkness approaching the capital from the ruins>Long head man (that was the one that summoned the monsters in the first place) convinces you to honor the capital by going on a suicide mission>Kept in the dark huddled with your fellow retards>It's your turn>You're told to parachute down into X area, arrow yourself forward and then turn into a block to be on top of a pressure plate>Do so>Die
>>689465360Destroying those spiked things for 200 points each is clutch
>>689510361Wait a second, Velgress and Zoldath are set in the same universe!
>>689507198I suspect that when this game comes out for the Switch, these threads will blow up yet again. I'll be sure to be there to be the expert among the consoleonlykiddies that wanted to wait for portable play.
>>689509263what do you see in Planet Zoldath?
>>689475204what's the cherry for this? debating whether I should just start it now
>>689511585Not him but I think the randomness is kind of endearingStarting a new run and figuring out which aliens are sentient this time around, how aggressive each non sentient alien is, how strong and tough they are, what happens when you kill them, which resources trigger which items and where each item is.But a disclaimer is that if I don't see the boomerang or the nail gun within the first few areas I go to, I just die on purpose and restart. I don't want to go around not being able to kill anything.
Holy fuck Rakshasa is brutal. Got to the second stage boss and I really dislike that if you at any point lose your power up anywhere further in the run, you might as well reset, which really goes against the whole idea of reviving on the spot
>>689511479The fun is in everyone jumping in on the first week playing different games while there's no walkthrough online yet, and hearing vague tips about games you haven't even played yet. By the time it comes out on switch, it'll all be on youtube and wikis.
>>689509305Everygrug look at this grug ain't got no chickens hahhahJk I'm still trying to find a strategy to beat it
>>689512308Yeah. I just reset instead. Hardest game in the collection?
does every game in this have permadeath? outside of maybe Grimstone only a few games in so far but I 'luv me permadeath, simple as
>>689512663You mean lives and game overs?At least at the start, most games do. The second one seems like it can let you continue, but it's a roguelite type deal and you have to start from the beginning if you die. I found two that have save based progression so far, so you don't need to restart from the very beginning every time.
>>689440179You would understand if someone stole/hid your lunch at work
Where my bug hunter bros at? Stay sharp and don't let this happen to you.
>>689440298The fucks this then? >>689510920
>>689512663only like a third of the games are "if you lose, you MUST restart"
I've been playing magic garden all day and I can't even crack 100. I know the strategy, you get 6 at a time, stack up on potions then use 3 at once for score, but it's so hard dodging everything.
>>689512871I wish they put more content in deviltion... I like it way more than bug hunter but it ends so quickly
>>689512871WHAT THE FUCK, BRO?I'M JUST TRYING TO BEAT JOB 6I HAVE 6 HOURS IN THIS FUCKING GAMEHOW?
>>689512749yeah. games like Barbuta and Ninpek have lives but they still have a limited amount and clear game over that'll throw you back to the start >>689512901ah, shame>>689512871>job 13 the fuck? I can't even get past job 2. gimme your tips >>689512930in-case you're somehow blind and retarded, you can see which way the blue blobs will move based on the way they look
>>689512930If you want gold and aren't worried about getting the cherry highscore, then it's even easier to just not stack shit and always go for potions. Sometimes you'll want to wait for them to turn blue or gold so that they kill mushrooms, but aside from that just grab potions and wreck shit.The potions both make the enemies killable and also prevent any new ones from spawning, so with some practice it's not too difficult to have it so that the board stays nearly empty a lot of the time and you don't have a lot of shit to dodge. Horrible strategy for getting high scores, but it lets you see the ending.I fucking hate Magic Garden. Least favorite game from the first row.
>>689512930are you going for gold? then get 2 gold potions to start wtih (so that 4 pinks are always spawning), then when you pick up potions from that point on, ignore blues and just pick up the pinks to essentially go infinite. getting a few golds at the start to up your max pink count is crucial. as for 20k points, yeah it takes skill, luck and good peripheral vision.
>>689513092>>689513091we're like brothers...
I didn't realize this until a while in, but if you hang on some of the menu screens for games it'll give you a few tips, or at the very least a demo of it being playedMagic Garden gives you a load of hints with text and everything, whereas Ninpek just shows someone playing kind of poorly
>>689513356for bushido ball the demo makes it look like the game is actually skillful and cerebral
>losing in Kick Club 4-9 to a random ass footballAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>689512663dungeon crawler lets you continue at current floor
>>689513356The Ninpek guy plays pretty decently. He does die at a weird place but I think that's just to show how the ghost works. I wish I'd seen that at some point cause it took me a long time to realize you could shoot as a ghost.Now the Mortol demo guy, on the other hand... He fucking SUCKS.
>>689513685I did it bros, my second cherry.
>>689451784I wish it was longer/different levels
>>689451784you've got to be FUCKING SHITTING ME
>play arcade style game>attempt 100 feels no better than attempts 1-99I just don't have what it takes I fear.
>>689515145Eventually the stars will align.
can i get a qrd on what this thread is about?
Does V-Rainger indicate on the map where secrets/items are still to be collected? The dots are just lore terminalsa rght?
>>689515145me when i play spelunky
>>689515084KWAB
>>689515413There is a new game from the spelunky devs called UFO 50 that contains 50 games in the style of SNES games. Some of the games are trivial silly stuff, some of the games are la mulana, castlevania, or into the breach.
>>689515661They're NES styled lil bro
holy FUCK the music in the underwater sections of mooncat is insane
>>689515724They're Amiga styled, lil zoomer.
Despite the color limitations going by NES standards, yeah, the games do look SNESish in terms of spritework and animations. It's meant to be NES, though, the company ends before the SNES is even a thing.
damn Mortol is fucking ludo, seems really fun to optimize it and keep as many lives as possible
>>689515084
>>689515953Try Mortol 2, it's a metroidvania with FIVE rituals basically
>>689515953It has a lot of depth, it's great.
Somehow managed to die in the clear screen. Thank god the cherry got saved.Ufosoft, you fucking hacks.
how the fuck do you into scoring in rakshasaunless you get a huge bonus from finishing the game getting the top score seems kind of impossible
>found the zweihanderlet's gooo
What's the cherry condition for Ninpak? Like everyone else, I got it the same attempt as my gold. Finish loop 2?Pretty funny that game still has a 'best time' record tracked.
>>689516656Yeah. And technically you could stall the boss forever.
>>689516643
>>689516694I just think it's funny the speedrun strategy is to autoscroll for 9 minutes then kill yourself (since ghosts are way better against the squid).
What does the fertilizer do in planet quest ? I don't have any use for moon drops
there's room on the menu for a third win beyond gold and cherry...
>>689516898get meat faster. it's fucking cancer all around
>lives carry over into the next stageokay Mortol is pretty tough. some parts like pic related are a mystery
>>689516917There's already a third win condition. Having fun.
Grug decided to go back and listen to villagers and now he know how to play game
What do all the potion colors do in magic garden?
>>689517092I'll give you a small hint to get those 5 extra lives.Besides the stone ritual, there is something else you can use to press buttons.Also, every 3 kills you get an extra life so make sure every time you use a ritual you kill at the very least 1 enemy.
>>689515823A lot of them are more Amiga or other PCs of that era. Particularly because they're supposed to be a UK company.
the fuck game is this? saw it in the demo reel thing, had some pink blob jumping about would be nice if it showed the names when the demos play
>>689517126Damn it. I'm never gonna get that.
I only recently found out the ammo boxes in Mortol 2 are permanent, you can use them over and over, even in the same character, that's actually really great, you can put down an ammo box somewhere accessible and then keep going back to it.
>>689517319It's the one with the rabbit and the duck who fight with magic
>no way to do quick resets in Mortolfuck. shows me the tutorial every damn time
>>689517576hold the secondary button
>>689517610That's just for the first level. When you're done with that you're good.
I let the demo run for a while on the main screen and this game showed up that I've never seen before. Anyone know what it is?
Every caveman deserves a fire
>>689517823elfazar I presume
>>689517823Pocky and Rocky
>>689517662you're genuinely retarded.
>>689517957Do you not need to see the tutorial again if you give up in the first level? I thought you did, but maybe I just restarted the whole game back then.
>>689511062every game is set in the same universe
>>689469853have you found anything interesting in the code?
>>689518007exploding the ship always brings you back to level select
>>689518178My bad, I must have only started blowing up the ship on level 2
nooooo the levels become side scrollers
Valbrace is really good at making me think it's getting easy and then rekting me
fuck me the timing on doing this is insane, and it's just a tiny little trick to get an extra killmanaged to end with 30 lives on stage one, can see more room for improvement though. this shit is top-tier
>>689518630wtf mortol has tech
>>689518630I'm glad the cherry is relatively forgiving cause I don't want to be this tryhardI just want to get all the extra live blocks and not waste lives on stupid shit like those big ass bugs that chase you or really any death to an enemy
>>689518630fuck yeah, mortolfags have the highest iqs in these threads
>>689518823Nah, that's Bug Hunter pros
Very comfy thread lads. Having an OP image from one of the games instead of the Steam banner really kept out the shitposters.
Thread so far down the catalog that no one will know I don't care for Barbuta
>>689518630just did it with 34 lives to spare. only part I'm not sure on is this
>>689519060I'm pretty sure the guy that just put "UFO 50" on the subject line was purposefully trying to get the threads classified as generals so they'd get deleted. The passionate anti shilling is strong.
>>689518730Every single game has tech, it's the overarching theme of the whole thing aside from the NES style.Just like Spelunky's never-ending "oh shit I can do this" feeling and tech discovery, Derek does it again here.
>>689519143You only need two bullet mortols to climb that wall. I marked where you should shoot them.
