yeah I feel like shit like this is less ā€œelectron badā€ (though, sure, I can see how that may be true) and more developers prioritizing pushing new features over improving the existing codebase. a tale as old as time.

I cannot believe Xbox continues to excitedly announce that February is Anime Month, surely you could at least pick a different month to do this every year.

My birthday is in 2 weeks and as far as treats go anime is pretty far down my list but hey. Iā€™ll take whatever treats I can get. Hopefully something better comes along though.

JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE, COSMOS

I need to mention this upcoming Skelethrone: The Prey game not because it is a self-described ā€œchallenging 2D action platformer with RPG elements inspired by games like Castlevania and Dark Soulsā€ but because it has that art style where everything moves like (in this case creepy) paper dolls and a I hate it.

Anyways maybe you wonā€™t hate it and care.

Also including a screenshot of different giant arm game because I thought it looked neat.


I donā€™t think the game itself looks any good, but full points for ending oneā€™s store page description with ā€œIf you like this game, please play other games!ā€

i played the (extremely generous) demo for this yesterday and itā€™s a got darned delight. very easy to pick up (direcitonal input + 1 button cover all the controls) and made by a true kinaesthete (i havenā€™t experienced a tactility like this since my beloved wobbegong land). the levels are right in the sweet spot of being large enough to hide many secrets but small enough to travel across in under a minute if you know what youā€™re doing, and theyā€™re full of little optional platforming challenges that will really force you to get to grips with the character.
my one major complaint is that the music just kinda sucks. itā€™s some real clown core honky tonk shit and iā€™m not here for it. this is all the more disappointing because the rest of the sounds are really good. iā€™ve caught myself actively seeking out checkpoints iā€™ve already been through just to hear the happy little whistle.

Cursory research suggests that those are indeed authentic, vintage games that were not localized back in the day.
