Cool to see writeup on a game that's already on my wishlist, Cobalt Core. It's on Switch, I may grab it there. I can't speak to if I like it yet, but I'm guessing I probably will. The genre is "sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder", which sounds odd but check the screenshots at these links- I kinda get it. I think it looks great - I dig weird strategy stuff like this sometimes. Now I'm even more psyched to play it.

Ah, nothing like a creepy, misty landscape to get the ol' blood pumping. I'm sure those ancient, ominous stone cliffs are totally harmless though. Just like that last can of expired beans. What's the worst that could happen?
After BG3, I really need a few small (1-4 hour) indie games before I get into Starfield. I like most genres, but I'm not that into crafting, framing, or busy work. Any new or old gems you'd recommend? #indiegaming
I forget who was curious the other day, but I broke out my physical copy of @platformalist's game Leaving the Tree today and opened it up again. I had totally forgotten how many cool things were packaged with it. There was so much, it was tough to get a pic on my desk! 😂 I'll try to get some gameplay soon - it's even compatible with most Xbox USB controllers.
The rad wood 256MB USB cart in the middle of the photo contains the game and even more of Andrew's (his Eggnog company's) games too- Maze Dog, Coffee Bug, Winterberry, Cat Bandit, Cake Cat, and more.
Incredible, all of it. Lots of stickers and two-sided character profile cards here too. On the other sides of the cards are little descriptions like on the overturned card in the top right.
A misty world of pixelated mystery, where stone pillars loom in the distance, and the air is thick with dampness. Is it an ancient ruin, or a decaying relic of the past? What do you think used to be here?
Made it to 96% completion in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! Finished some quests, a couple of Boss Battles. I might actually finish it some time this month!
Spent some quality time with my Steam Deck in the shade, enjoying some Hades. For not touching it for a long time I did surprisingly ok. Cleared Tartarus, Petted Three Headed Doggo, and became stronger. 💪 Currently at DeathCount 10, and there will probably be more where that came from. :a_thisisfine: :a_thisisfine: :a_thisisfine:
I added something like a shock wave, I call it "Hedgehogs". Took the idea from the "False Knight" boss from Hollow Knight. I spent 2 days making this with loops and math, but then I decided to just make it a sprite that always moves and did it in an hour
Over the last few weeks, I played Beglitched, an indie game available on itch.io that was part of a few bundles over the last few years.
It's still part of the puzzle game batch I downloaded a while back and I quite liked its puzzle aspects!! I also enjoyed its visual style - pixely and pink! :D Also I'm a sucker for anything with hackers in it. The way the story ramped up was fun too. At the beginning I was like, ah yeah, some casual dialogue, can't be JUST puzzles huh?? But towards the end it grew quite captivating, ahhh.
I played it in many shorter rounds because I got a bit frustrated after a few failed attempts. But after recovering my patience, I really wanted to continue and crack the current puzzle!!
anyone spending too much of their life on a good rogue-like right now? finished off the achievements on Slay the Spire recently, casting about for something new #indiegaming#videogames#roguelike
Started playing Ori and The Blind Forest on Steam Deck last night, then the TV this morning, and then the Desktop this evening. About 32% completed so far!
