Aw cool! I'll have to check it out on SAGE!

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Sep 10

With 3 story modes, I'd give this one a shot. It has up to 20 unlockable characters, and a good amount of features that allow for a surprisingly customizable experience.

Either go through normally at your flow, or give the new Turbo mode a try for a fast-paced challenge!

Its okay to play it solo!

*Insert meme I made a few posts ago*

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 24

The gimmick's in particular are very neat. The story and writing is pretty compelling too.

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 21

Yeah. If there's one other thing we can do, is directly mention how much we enjoy this game. (Reviews!)

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 19

Now, don't take my words for it. I mean, they all sound like half-baked compliments, but please, if you or anybody else is interested, please check the game out!

Its FREE, and it would mean a lot for the developer, and everybody else who worked on it!

Over time, the game had been getting a few tweaks here and there, Eyes on Everything working to greatly perfect their craft. As of now, they've made a Steam release of the game, pretty recently too!

And you want to know the best part? ITS FREE!!!

Thanks to FreakZone Games for publishing it!

Once I had developed a liking to this project, I had only one idea in mind: to find a way to have this game be recognized, and ensure ThunderDragon's decade long work (yes, it was THAT long, all the way back in 2015) would finally come to public frution.

Fortunately, things have been looking up!

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 19

Of course, once I had experienced the game to its fullest (straight up completion), something felt... missing. I thought about the wiki page, all the way back, and realized:

"Oh man, this game IS pretty obscure. I basically just stumbled into it! Really fun and well-written too..."

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 19

So I waited. And waited some more. And a bit more... until eventually, after a couple of years, the game had finally been fully done! It was sent on Itch.io, like before, but this time, it was jam-packed with all that I've mentioned, and more!

Start to Finish, it felt like an amazing release!

67ij.bsky.social @67ij.bsky.social · Aug 19

After I had my fun, and saw to it to wait for the full release, I soon (and I mean really soon) went ahead and completed Psycho Waluigi. To think that this fangame was going to have a spiritual successor, it was like a dream come true...

Boy, it was a blast! The characters were funny yet so rich with flavor. The story was both laid back yet still holding a subtly serious tone. The Stages were nice, and the gimmicks... Oh man, this game had a TON of engaging concepts that were being expanded upon later on! To put it simply: Fun.
