Of course then you have ZUN making fifty million shmups and it turned out to work pretty well from him. But Gensokyo Georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

Love this Mystlikes analysis from Devin, looking at ways Myst continues to inspire modern puzzle games and what we can expect from the genre going forward!

It is similar to Void Stranger and Animal Well (the press doc explicitly calls those out), But it reminded me very much of an older euro-game design tradition, the 80s/90s flick-screen puzzle platformer worlds like Jet Set Willy and the Dizzy series. Or Below the Root, tho that's American.

Me, nodding knowingly: The beaks.

If I had a nickel for every obscure mystery game that got a sequel this year about mermaids...

I've been on the "people interested in video game design should play more board games" train for a while, but I think that's no longer a sufficiently radical position.

Disc changes? Villain explaining their backstory via stained glass? Mr Bones is Riven.

Would YOU attend a live Hypnospace concert with a real band playing music + as many of the original artists as can perform? Fill out this survey if you would, we need to know where to take it: forms.gle/rzkjR6t4SsWc...

These are the games that stood out to us from the 6th annual Thinky Puzzle Game Jam!

simple!

It is an actual crime that Full Bore is still at under 100 user reviews after 12 years. An excellent block-puzzling platform puzzler about uplifted pigs unraveling the mystery of why humanity went extinct. If you like puzzles, it's ~$2 now and very good.

I need to inform everyone of the enchanting mascot for the MSX-fan magazine.

finally getting around to doing this thing where i play and review bird games from my spreadsheet. first up, Death's Door: https://twotwos.nekoweb.org/posts/door.html this post has bonus content in the form of a story about being a bird, which you might like if you are bird therian or something.

Also on my "cool games developed by mice" list.
