I've been maintaining a log in my own Mastodon thread. I'll summarize from yesterday:

  • Push The Cat with WASD is reverse sokoban with interesting story/gameplay integration, but I find the puzzles unsatisfying.
  • Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a stylish callback to colourful GBA adventures. It zooms out to show the GBA when you're idle! Wishlisted.
  • Stardust Demon triggers my Cave Story neurons and the 3D FMVs are a very cool aesthetic choice. It needs a little more polish to be great.
  • NanoApostle is a very hard boss rush with deadly but well-telegraphed attacks. The range of visual intensity in the art is impressively huge.
  • The Rise is a precision platformer about jumping, dashing, and going up. It's competently produced, but I don't see anything novel about it.
  • Waltz & Jam is a very cute top-down adventure with interesting characters. It's a lot more forgiving than Tunic. Wishlisted.
  • What the Car? Extremely silly. Wishlisted.
