will we ever get something like UFO50 again?

Cyber owls is so shit. Let's make a long as fuck game but make you go through it deathless yeah that's a great idea. I keep getting filtered by the boss of the Chicago level which I play first. Why does this game have no upper attack options causing me to lose all my health in the elevator? Fist hell knows not to do that shit even though you can throw

>>693286909
1. You don't have to cherry everything
2. Chicago boss gets beaten by charged punches from afar and elevator is easy, jetpack guys start shooting when you're under them, so stay in the middle

This is the 7th time this sorta thing has happened, leave a game I sucked at for a while only to perfect it on the first try. Cute game otherwise, love to play more of this type of game Have yet to get the garden gift though, and no clue how to initiate the bonus round

Not for at least a decade, man.

Campanella 3 cherry is gonna happen today guaranteed. I can get perfect on at least two of four segments in the first three stages consistently. That’s 1200 points right there and you only need 1500 for the cherry. Now it’s just about surviving. Got to the fourth boss.

I agree, that game is bad. I don't know if they tried to create the idea that it was the last game, so it was ambitious, but that thing of several game genres within one is typically what you expect from indie games that like to “subvert” expectations, and has nothing to do with the general philosophy of 1989. In fact, as someone who appreciates old games, one of my biggest complaints about UFO50 is precisely its lack of ability to really portray the era, because all the games there are basically modern indies, in terms of aesthetics, mechanics, even fucking genres (it's not uncommon to find genders that became popular in the 2000s or 2010s).
Basically, the historical representation of UFO50 is quite flawed, and I honestly think it's a big problem because it's one of the points of the game. People aren't giving a damn about it, but I think a serious review should take into account when a proposal to portray a historical period fails.

this game came from TIGSource forums being full of small good indie games over a decade ago, so it won't ever happen again

Godsblood prototype list number makes sense, Paint Chase prototype list number probably makes sense, but Campanella prototype list number makes no sense to me

>>693288958
they have admitted for a while prior to release that the era timeline is moreso a way to limit graphics and technology in the early catalogue moreso than to be an exact recreation of real life technology advances. The last 3rd of the catalogue is very much inspired by mid to late era snes games and that clearly was much later than 1989 IRL

Also why would you complain about the genres? Thats like the best part of UFO 50 is exploring what modern genres could've looked like back then

>>693293104
Off the top of my head, play the games in chronological order, don’t feel like you need to beat everything first go, don’t be afraid to fail, and not every game will be your cup of tea

>>693288958
>but that thing of several game genres within one is typically what you expect from indie games that like to “subvert” expectations
Battletoads, the game it's blatantly ripping off alongside the obvious Cheetahmen homage, is also a "several genres in one" game.

>>693293339
>play the games in chronological order
Soo from 1 to 50, right?

>>693293104
youre going to like some games and hate others
don't approach it as a mini game collection, every game in it could have easily launched standalone back in the 80s
dont feel compelled to play through in chronological order and don't feel compelled to cherry each game right away
Pilot Quest has idle mechanics, start it up do what you can in base camp, and leave. Come back later

It’s a puzzle game. You can get right back to where you were in no time because stages average about five minutes. It’s about finding the most productive way to sacrifice yourself to get extra guys and to kill as many enemies as possible. That’s all there is to it.

I don't think anyone had that feeling because everyone was told ahead of time. Anyway it doesn't matter, Pilot Quest is 5 hours long.

>>693286221
Probably not of this size and scale.
The kind of community that would grow on tigsource isn't really something you can replicate anymore, so the amount of people who would and could contribute to another set of 50 is increasingly few.
Most devs would publish instead of withholding their game for the rest of the package, Mossmouth has the comfort of having multiple games already their belt to subsidize this endeavor.

>>693298885
The entire last stage i'd say is among the absolute best in the collection. I so badly want more of this game

>>693286221
No way, but would like to see this concept done even if on a smaller scale. Maybe say 5-6 games in various small collections

>>693289090

I'd rather the modern design with some nostalgia bait, if you want true-to-life jank of older games just play games of that era. Even barbuta is expertly designed and takes a lot of queues from modern exploration puzzle stuff, the design isn't nearly the same leap in logic shit of actual adventure games in the 80s and it's better for it

You have to cherry everything in reverse chronological order to get the true ending

>>693314945
Honestly it would be a better game if both your AI and the enemy AI were better.

As is it's just Pikmin Dandori Battle but crap.

>>693314815
Playing them in order helps you understand the world building more. You understand the callbacks in the later games.

I think you get the best UFO 50 experience if you play the games mostly chronologically but skip around to play anything that looks interesting. sorry purists

>>693317080
My take is that games should be dusted but not necessarily gilded in order.

Any Bug Hunt tips?

>>693317738
KILL BUGS
BEHEAD BUGS
ROUNDHOUSE KICK A BUG INTO THE PAVEMENT
JUMP ON TOP OF BUGS FROM ABOVE
PUSH BUGS INTO PITS
USE ACTIVE VOLCANOES TO INCINERATE BUGS

>>693313695
I got it my first clear so it can't be too bad. There's secret shit everywhere so if something looks useless there's problem something hidden there. And just stick with a single weapon cause the points add up, probably.

>>693317738
Kill the red fuckers first, nothing good will ever come of them evolving.
Even if one type evolves, you want to make sure the other types don't also evolve. Even if it means you have to deal with some eggs, it's better than needing to deal with multiple evolved bugs.
If blowing up a cube will kill 2+ bugs, or even just saves you movement, it's worth doing. You want to kill all bugs on screen even if you get no cubes at all.

I just beat the first boss in Divers and I'm hating it. Wandering around with no direction and constantly stumbling into encounters which take all your resources in one fight so you have to swim all the way back up is so tedious. Also XP grinding feels mandatory which makes this game even more boring.
It's like Porgy but even worse.
Also I found a big empty room with funky music. Anyone knows whats up with that?

>>693308575
If you hit something (the ball, opponent, a projectile) it doesnt count as one of the two inputs needed to throw your projectile. Thats why it can feel like youre mashing in front of your opponent for a while before your projectile comes out - you keep landing hits on the ball/your opponent.

Not of the same scale AND quality anytime soon. But I think smaller-scale projects of similar quality might come out in coming years.

Why does rakshasa somehow play way stiffer than both castlevania and ghost and goblins? It's weird and watching someone play it the game looks easy but half the time enemies get so close you can't hit them and you can only shoot two angles which is extremely limiting.

Overall I would put it top 10, maybe even top 15 games. If the negatives weren't there it would easily be top 3.

>>693325945
you can jump away from enemies then shoot down-angled towards them. the flies you encounter 90 seconds into the game teach you to do that, crouch shooting, and precise jump shots. it's honestly a bit much all at once but the rest of the game's difficulty plays out nicely. if you want to just swap to the 5 shooter for that section it should be no problem at all.

there are hidden blocks in every level that if you touch, will spawn treasure, a green egg, the false coin that makes you fight the cloud, or an extra life. If you're able to avoid getting hit while you have the green guy, he'll point out where every hidden tile near you is

Nostalgia isn't going anywhere, it just changes. When this game was originally conceived, the primary market were early millennials that grew up with 8~16-bit pixel art games and bought up everything that employed that style. Now the primary market is made up of early zoomers that are nostalgic for N64 and PS1 era graphics, so indie games are shifting to PS1 filters. Soon Alphas will be nostalgic for Xbox 360 and PS3 era stuff, and so on...

Had this game been released on their original (but incredibly naive) target of 2018, it would have sold five to ten times more than it has so far, guaranteed. But the market changes, and between adult shit like raising families, building careers, and just not having the same kind of time and energy anymore, the core demographics for this game have most likely aged out of gaming altogether.

Ironically on my current run I actually no-death'd Stage 2 and lost a life on Stage 3 when they throw the second rock cyclops at you. Going into Stage 4 with 6 credits, wish me luck.

I honestly feel like Tao Nemuru sending all the games into preservation instead of selling them, because he believes in some kind of apocalypse to be stretching suspension of disbelief pretty far.

It ruins a pretty grounded story about a group of friends being consumed by corporatism by bringing in a borderline supernatutal element

Almost cherried Campanella 2 despite not golding it yet. I got a lot of hits on the final boss and then died. I would have won, but I took a -4 hit at the beginning of the fight because after nothing happened for 10 seconds, I started walking right and got hit by the boss coming onto the screen.

got cherry. Needed a guide to find on of the hidden levels and 2 or 3 of the coffees that were cancer to get even with a guide. Really liked the level design in this one they make the most of each mechanic they introduce, but there are some fairly janky elements
>block koala
did some mid game levels. This almost feels like an anti-sokobon game. Where in a normal sokoban you have these levels that are deceptively simple but then some hidden oversight springs up and takes ages until you find a clever yet really easy to execute solutions, in block koala you have levels that look like incredibly complicated, then you analyze it more and it's literally oh I just have to push this block in a big circle, but then it still takes 10 minutes and 9 of those are on finding places to push junk blocks without causing gridlock. I never thought "so bad it's good" could apply to a fucking video game

>>693340064
Block Koala is just bad, dude. For the exact reasons you described. It's tedious more than anything else.

Star Waspir below Caramel Caramel is nonsense

>>693341704
caramel caramel has enjoyable parts, star waspir is just pain end-to-end

>>693341887
Star Waspir is fun end to end
Hard =/= Bad

>>693342101
lol no
>dude just collect egg over and over again
why is there a spelling component in a shmup
if you just made all drops generic, all powerups random, and made the cherry requirement deathless, it'd be a way better game

>>693342101
stage 1 is boring autopilot. stage 2 is fine. stage 3 is awful design that you eventually find a way to beat (shmups that require foreknowledge of a scenario are immediately shit). stage 4 is autopilot, less boring than stage 1. the final boss is easy as sin.
caramel caramel on the other hand is easy enough to be first-tried by any experienced shmup player (foreknowledge absolutely not required for any section) and inherently has more interesting scoring for the score-chasers with how many different ways you could utilize the camera and the difficulty in actually killing the minibosses.

this game mindbroke millions.

No degree or adherence to the chronology makes sense to me at all. There's nothing locking you out of playing any of the games in any order, and nothing gained by it.

To me, if you don't choose games based on their titles, covers, and descriptions, then it's like you're playing them like they're a job instead of out of any enjoyment of gaming.

>>693341453
it's a deconstruction of sokobon

>>693343442
>nothing gained by it
you would absolutely miss out on countless minutia of metanarrative details going in a completely random order. for example, discovering the campanella easter egg in golfaria wouldn't seem like much of an easter egg at all if you hadn't played campanella. for me that was a lot of fun because I really liked at least 80% of the games. those that I didn't, I just didn't finish.

>>693343442
Why wouldn't you give every game in the pack at least an half an hour try? And why wouldn't you try them out chronologically to see the progression?

I understand that stuff like me not wanting to play Overbold until I cherry Vegress is autism, but going chronologically just makes sense no matter what
Still, everyone has their preferences

>>693343442
>>693343942
This is pure autism, you can play them in any order. It doesn't stop you from putting together the chronology once you have most of them under your belt. If someone was just getting into Nintendo today and asked for game recomendations you wouldn't say "Well you HAVE to go start with Mario 1 to see how the company evolved its design philosophy and follow the careers of all the designers"

>>693344162
but many of the best games in ufo 50 are in the first couple rows. not to say mario 1 is a bad game but it's definitely less FUN than other mario games and ufo 50's website is called 50games.fun for a reason

>could just run away and no one gets hurt like in the gold ending
>nah let's kill them

I won, yet to do it with no continues though

>>693344162
Most streamers go chronologically

Got the Donka Donka Idol from Nozzlo. It was a rough fucking experience trying to find him a fourth time, I kept just missing him three times in the very first area you enter the wild in somehow. Then he was one room north in the ruins and I laid into him and then finally found a neat trick where the gun stuns him if you're right up against him and he's up against a wall. Melted his health and had 2000 seconds to spare since I spent every last coin I had for energy. The game's still gonna take forever because there's no one selling silk like my last run, and the silos I need to get more ingots for. But if I'm lucky, with this one and Campanella 3 I'll be just one away from 20 cherries.

>>693349084
Bro u don't need to buy silk just kill the spider boss and have ur buddies whistling

The music is extremely good. I think the only problem with that is its too upbeat. I was expecting more doom&gloom sci-fi music, but this is adventuring-music https://phlogiston.bandcamp.com/track/vainger-verde-sector

>>693342101
I'm gonna make the same argument other anons make for Grimstone and Fist Hell, why the fuck would I play Star Waspir instead of any of the dozens of great shmups from the past?

>>693349084
It's usually pretty easy to see him as soon as you enter cause he's wildin

star waspir's aspect ratio is what sucks. otherwise it's a clone of the soldier series on PCE.

Whoa Magic Garden is a ball buster. Saving 200 of those seems ridiculously hard after playing for 4 minutes and 59 seconds.

>>693337956
When only like 15% of the games are mediocre or lower, you know you got a damn nice game for 25 buckaroos.

>>693342758
it mindbroke me because seeing viruses and bugs is yucky blurgh
