[Driven Wild]

I know nothing about racing games, but I've always wanted to try out the likes of Cruisin' and whatnot. This right here tho, is really fun. Very addicting too, it's fun to weave around the cars, keep your speed up, good stuff! And the music, I forgot to mention: unlike most folks here, I can't really pick a favorite, they're all bangers in my books, going for slightly different vibes that fit the racing all the same! It almost feels diegetic in away, like tuning your radio to different stations or inserting different cassettes/disks in your ride's music player, they all fit that particular vibe.

I'm nowhere near as good as I know a lotta people can be at these games, but I'm not gonna lie, it feels good to see my name up there in today's high score list.

Also, how the hell did Bletraut finish in 43 seconds??? Ah, it was a cheat. Yeah, I assumed so, but damn, how did he pull that off? Nevertheless, thanks for giving the rest of us a sporting chance :)

KilledByAPixel responds:

Thanks so much! I cleared out the offending score, there are always ways to cheat the system,

[Dragonsweeper]

Probably the best reimagining of Minesweeper I've seen so far! The rules of the game take some time to fully understand, but once you realize the patterns, you can start to strategize and get the upper hand! Even tho I lost many a runs, it was addicting enough for me to keep going until I won!

To anyone who thinks this game is mostly luck and little strategy, I urge you to consider otherwise. When the game tells you to look at monster patterns when you die, there's a damn good reason for that. Start by understanding what the purple question marks mean. Maybe look for certain arrangements and patterns on the board, things that remain consistent over multiple runs, look for the reasons why some monsters of the same type are in different poses sometimes... There's more to it than what it initially seems, and figuring out these rules is part of the fun!

Edit: After many tries, I got Lovers Survive, Future Generation and Rat Pacifist, all three at once in a single run! After that I decided to check some comments here, there were actually a few more patterns I hadn't noticed yet, tho I did get most a them on my own. Time for the ultimate challenge...

Edit: Cleared out the entire board! The ending was actually a bit different too... This makes me wonder, if we go for a single stamp on a run, does the ending change for all a them? Regardless, I am now at peace :)

[Looming]

Still one of the most beautiful and intriguing exploration games I've ever played. It's how I learned of Myst too! Playing it again got me wondering how the Oarbor could've looked like, hehe. It's also more tightly designed than what I remembered - any artifacts that you can unearth are always near a path or landmarks that you'll visit, so thankfully you never have to meander around the deserted wastes to stumble into anything by luck. Very satisfying to explore.

[The End]

It was cute, and easy to follow. The confused people down here simply have negative IQ lol

[ZOID]

68.4!

[Le Chat Fonce and the Secret of the Clock Tower]

Very nice! I found every red piece and painting, but I still got the B ending... Plus, I honestly expected a confrontation with the Baron, but there kinda wasn't one. So... how do we get the endings exactly? And how many decorations are there?

Oh, also, there's a note you can't read in the basement. Some notes also seem to repeat, as well as the Baron's dialogue once, but I think these are just there in case we missed the first ones. Oh, and the dialogue regarding the apartment for Snowflake said that Chat "found a place for rent on the (insert here) floor", and he says the guy is named Loyd but he's actually Gary, so... that does feel a bit unfinished, hehe. I would also talk about how some lines let us know the Baron's name is actually Blake before the actual reveal, but that's honestly up to you to see fit with how the story goes.

One last problem I encountered - the elevators don't reset when you use them. So, if you use one to reach a higher floor, then teleport back to a lower floor... the elevator won't go down, and it will in fact be blocking the path upwards if we fly through the elevator shaft.

[Folder Dungeon]

Very fun!

[Lost in Lampyrid Fog]

Firefly Forest sequel?? YES PLEASE!

[Gappy's Labyrinth]

Very cute!

[MÆRE]

Very nice! I found it to be a bit on the easy and short side, but it was really cool, and the variety of scares and spooks kept it very fresh!
