[DEETS]

Life-changing. This game really makes you FEEL like you're at the mercy of an evil and intimidating horse.

Time for me to take the horse pill. K-hole here I come.

Edit: holy crap lois

BlueBen8 responds:

hello, evil and intimidating horse here.
neigh.

[Fun Home: Part 1]

Not only did you nail the NES feel, you actually managed to make something real spooky. The chase sequences more than made up for the short length and felt very reminiscent of Outlast or Power Drill Massacre. Can't wait for the next part.

deathink responds:

outlast rocks, and I love puppet combo. The chase is 100% inspired by Power Drill Massacre, thank you for noticing that.
Also, yeah, this game is a huge love letter to old NES games. THere are a lot of references in the game if you know what you are looking for.

[Anxi's Carnation]

Quite challenging. The soundtrack is pretty relaxing and your artstyle is just a treat. Only issue is that the instructions are a bit vague and only get explained at the respective game over screen. I also saw a few people comment that the medals don't unlock while playing, which looks to be brower-related. By itself though, can't say I have any gripes with the gameplay. Always nice to see someone's first game turn out so well.

Also banana rat

Tyhond responds:

Thank you :> Probably if I do another one, I just make it maker User Friendly with Instruction!

[The Toybox Collab]

I barely scratched the surface, but I'm expecting at least five different fumos.

Loving the presentation and soundtrack. A well-deserved daily featured. Just lovely.

P.S. If that one blurb was serious, I hope you're doing alright.

Tyhond responds:

So many fumos >:3

[Riddle Middle School]

Pretty great homage. I'm very much a fan of the bigger map and multiple endings. It manages to both be faithful to its source material and allow itself to be original with the added content.

That being said, there are a couple technical issues though. During my first playthrough, my inventory overfilled and not only did I lose the match I picked up, the next item I clicked on disappeared when I tried to use it. The other time, I grabbed the cookie from the vending machine t̶o̶o̶ e̶a̶r̶l̶y and randomly got stuck in the dispenser screen with no back arrow. And when I tried the alternate ending with Richy, I could not seem to interact with any of the changed environment. Clicking on Richy for some reason teleported me to the electric outlet in Mrs. Sleep's room and after returning to the gym, everything was restored back to before, except I was still missing the items I used before.

Edit: So just for future reference, yes, the library minigame has to be completed to get the main ending. Best method I found is having the cursor in the center of the screen. The speed and direction is random and it might take a few tries, but the targets always cross around the middle area. Hope that helps.

Minix07 responds:

Thanks you for your review. I was able to fix some of the glitches, the others I wasn't able to replicate so I might be a ruffle emulation problem.

[Watching Someone Pee Simulatoria]

Missed opportunity to name it pisseria, but i guess you had to keep up the existent naming scheme. Very relatable stuff.

FarawayDrip30 responds:

Fuck… I’m stupid…

[Riddle University]

Holy shit, blast from the past. Genuinely thought this was going to be a meta joke reupload before playing.

Really didn't think anyone would go ahead and make a genuine effort at redoing RS4. This felt totally authentic in every way, even nailed down the exact early 2010s humor. The attention to detail can't be stressed enough. Great stuff, especially for a solo dev game.

(Btw, the audio commentary doesn't work, which kinda sucks since I really wanted to have a listen after reading the post-credits stuff)

[[KK] baker kitty]

Despite all my rage, I am still just a turd in a cake.

[Trivial Trivia: Language and Literature]

After OpenTBD, this one actually felt pretty short. Makes me want to reread some novels now though rather than pick at my existing backlog. Once again pretty sweet OST.

The Spanish section has two broken questions for the words tiger and seed. The questions look incomplete in the first one ("typically orange and black" and "the Spanish word for seed") and the answers either don't appear or just say "loading" on all four.

TeamTrivial responds:

Sorry about that! The trivia pack should now be fixed (there was a misplaced comma that made things weird...)

[Eat Peanut Butter and Jelly]

For some reason I was expecting Miku to appear in this. Anyway, sandwich yum.
