Exo One did it in 3D, if what you are calling slope runner is what I’m thinking.

Yeah! Although like the other games, it’s pared down to mostly just being a runner. I had trouble judging slope apexes in Exo One, I wonder what they could have done to improve that. But it felt like a demo scene toy made into a game and that’s something I’m glad to see more of.

I think of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat when I hear rhythm platforming, and the Gibbon game gives me VERY similar vibes. I’m into it.

Worth noting is that if one purchased the itch ukraine bundle they own a copy of Ynglet.

i’d like this sound aesthetic more if it was the music with high end cutoff and the sound effects were just loud and clashing on all frequencies like bangai-o

I was looking through the Square Enix sale on steam and saw that they’re releasing a very Japanese FMV game for $50. When’s the last time SE made an FMV game? I can’t find any info on it in English other that what SE’s press release and blog post from when it was announced in February.

Not sure if this staff means anything to anyone. I have no idea if they have any experience in this space.

I am very sick of “remakes” but these kinds of passionate, tasteful fan projects are so wonderful for game preservation

It’s strange to see a prestige Japanese game like this fall into the live service long-tail economy trap.

One time payout to appease everyone up to the nth percentile without hurting said long-tail is a classic, though
