#justbeatit Outrun Game Gear
Pretty nice approximation of the original. However quite different too. Its shorter and there’s pyramids in Europe? Also in this version you need to use brakes where in the arcade pumping gas was enough. Music is slapping as ever though!

#justbeatit The Room
After watching Hellraiser I was in the mood for some puzzle boxes. And idk why this game is called The Room because its just a series of puzzle boxes. They weren’t particularly challenging but it was a fun 2h of clicking around with jank controls.

Power Drift
Game is held together by shoestrings&ducttape and it should work at all. Yet it’s a very fun but nauseating racer. Managed to beat two courses on easy and even that was tough. Game is not meant to beat. Seen the rest of the tracks. So I call #justbeatit.

#justbeatit Overboard!
Murder mystery adventure game by @inkle.co. Except you committed the murder and you have try to not get arrested for it (and if you get insurance money that’s nice bonus!).
Got 3 endings, 1 with credits. Very tense and well written timeloop game.

#justbeatit Wurroom (PS VITA)

Interesting interactive artpiece I guess? I don’t know what was the the meaning of all this, do you? Let me know when you find out since it’s free on Steam.

#justbeatit Quibble Race
My first UFO50 game I tried and it was a fun one! Sort of a horse betting game with cute little creatures where you can influence the outcome by roiding or crippling them. Very difficult because of the randomness, but strangly exciting.

#justbeatit Out Run
Playing on the Sega Ages version but decided against the accessibly options. Brutal arcade difficulty makes every mistake a game over. After grinding for some hours I beat it with 11s to spare! Excellent game even after all these years.

#justbeatit Parking Garage Rally Circuit @walaber.com
Take a Saturn rally game, throw in Mario Kart skidding, make the tracks tight Parking Garages and add in a ska OST and you have this amazing racing game!
Can't wait for the DLC and maybe I make a track myself!

I submitted two maps for this jam. The one of the screenshot might look familiar? It'll probably take a few weeks before the release because playtesting & making a start map for 76 maps is quite some work!

Preferred just watching this as one documentary instead of the video snippets which it is now, but especially the later chapters where a fun watch for me. The weird offshoot games in this collection where fun to try and the new game is ok too

#justbeatit Demon Throttle (bad ending)
Physical only Switch run and gun shmup. You can alternate and level your 2 characters which both play a little different. Funny game, but because of hitstun and input eating I can't recommend it. The last boss is a huge dick.

This is what I found.. A post of someone who experienced the same as me 3 years ago. It sucks because I really like the game and did put quite a few hours into it. I still try a few attempts and just try to dodge without the jump, but it'll make it even harder. Unfortunatily there's no training mode

Heartbroken to find out Demon Throttle I'm trying to beat is broken. I reach the final boss easily now and all the suddenly jumping becomes inconsistant which makes it unfair. I searched the shmupjunkie discord and someone complained about it before so it's not just me. @doinksoft.bsky.social

#justbeatit Shredmill
Not a game which could be beaten but getting on the highscore table (limit of 500) is good enough! Fun autorunner game where you destroy tiles every loop so your playfield gets more difficult to navigate. Collect coins and buy upgrades to survive!

Retro styled 3d platformer where are a cute dragon finding eggs of your siblings. It mixes things up by adding a few puzzles. I feel this game missed some playtesting to make it really great but apart from the final boss I had a good time.

Fantastic little PICO-8 bullet hell schmup with a fun to learn scoring mechanic. Go play it for free krystman.itch.io/cattle-crisis or throw him a few bucks for the installer. I of course can’t beat the scores of the big guys.

This game was less puzzley and more like an interactive narrative with some (sometimes obtuse) puzzles than the rest in the series. I prefer the puzzle box style games, like cube escape, over this. But it still was an enjoyable experience.

Nice asymmetrical coop puzzle game, which I think is a big improvement over the earlier titles. However I found it hard to make sense of the story, but fortunately the puzzles were well designed for the most part. Two sequels to go!

Fine platformer where your character bounces and can double jump out of it. Avoid obstacles & enemies and dunk yourself through the hoop. Found all collectible cards. This game has some annoying blind jump/traps but otherwise it’s inoffensive.
