random game roundup
Robotex
Steam - $9.99
it looks like i bought this for 14 cents, i think when i was getting really into trading card flipping given the 2 hour playtime
anyway i. think i respect this games committment to have as little informative text whatsoever. does not mean i had any desire to stick with or learn it.
robotex is. i think. an auto scrolling platformer. you gain speed so long as you dont hit an obstacle and its very unclear which obstacles just stop you and which just kill you. this is not very fun and its kind of ugly to look at also
Hover-Pixel 384
Itch - $3.84. included in Indie Bundle for Abortion Funds
pretty neat! i can't complain. it's navigating a randomly generated maze. i really liked that all the menu options including picking the seed for the map are all handled diegetically and the game definitely kept my attention the entire time. i really enjoyed how the maze changes in appearance as you descend and the music is pretty solid too.
Quible Sphere
Itch - $1.99. Included in Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality.
i feel like i might be the most qualified person to state that the bulk of itch is platformer sludge and not vn sludge or whatever the reputation is
that said this one is pretty decent and is the sort of platformer that feels like i'm navigating a crowded parking lot. controls very well and ramps up in difficulty well. if this is your genre (and i have to reiterate i don't like platformers lol) this is worth checking out
