I’ll try to get the 2-all, but it’s gonna be a lot of work. Very hard game. This has quickly shot up as one of my favorites. G.rev did a great job doing an updated take on an oldschool style of shmup.

Here’s my 1-all of UNDER DEFEAT.

Love the more chaotic, fast, kinda old school messy patterns in Guwange, even further emphasized by the shiki speeding bullets up after you let go of them. Feels like a lot of bullet hells, especially modern ones, have more elegant, slower, “neat” patterns, which I’m not as fond of.

Maybe 2026 will be the year when arcade devs finally realize that smoothly escalating difficulty curves & introductory levels shouldn't be in arcade games anymore because there's no practical reason to have them. If there's anything truly & actually outdated about arcade games, it's that

Beatemup fans are like dogs you have to yell at to not eat shit out of the litterbox.

Not bad for my first 1-all

Got my first Under Defeat 1-all. Didn’t record because I wasn’t expecting to get it but also wanna save it for the 2-all. Took me 38 hrs. Easily one of my favorite shmups or games period. A lot harder than it looks. Very methodical.

It's absurd how Ys Seven is basically THE archetypical Modern Melee Action Game™ despite being released only a month or two before the major trendsetters. Omniparries, invincible dodge rolls, tacked-on crafting systems, stagger bars that let you wail on bosses for free once filled: it's all there

I released "BREAK 10", my Flash and DSiWare inspired platformer where you only have 10 seconds to complete each level.

Out of curiosity I tried some of the early Konami beatemups, the licensed stuff, because I had never touched them before.

They are so unbelievably fucking shit. I was actually in awe. The fact that these guys later did shit like Violent Storm and Batman Returns is insane.

People anthropomorphize video game enemies in a way that creates really fucked up discussions and critical eval. Where if enemies are good at pantomiming "aggressive gameplay" their design is treated as good even if it's completely unfit for the types of player mechanics the game they're in has

I love my freakin decision making as long as it never ever ever puts me into a position I can’t get out of.

I don’t usually buy games just to shit on them, mainly because I don’t have the money to right now and I don’t like “hate-playing”, but it is very tempting at times.

Love the results screens for Under Defeat. You see some cute girl playing around on the beach and at the bottom it’s like, “There were 3,000 enemy casualties.”

hardcore nuzlockes of pokemon romhacks might just be the only turn-based RPGs out there with gameplay that properly forces you to engage

played tons of JRPGs and none of them really have that element that forces you to develop consistency and game knowldedge in a way that encourages decision making

Frustrated by the fact that nobody's making Elevator Action/Rolling Bird style games I spent the past week+ making a tiny game like this myself, the main bulk of it is done just gotta do some finishing touches & release
