I loved the demo for this game and while there aren't many reviews out, the ones that are are really positive.

[โ€“] chrisbrummel 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone have any ideas as to why it might not be generating thumbnail previews when creating a post? I checked and Kickstarter and Youtube are doing OpenGraph correctly, so there seems to be something else going on.

[โ€“] chrisbrummel 3 points 2 years ago

You just described what Iโ€™m going through 100%.

Iโ€™m down! As long as they work their way to โ€œE.T. Risingโ€

I didn't get to posting about it, but I saw last week the announcement about "Beyond the Ice Palace 2", which is the metroidvania sequel to a 1988 Amiga game. Bizarre that now is the time to cash in on the social capital these two games have built up over the years ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ

I bought it after the positive reviews and have only been able to get to the city after the prologue, so youโ€™re already farther than myself. But part of why I put it down was because it felt too soon to introduce this reprieve from the Metroidvania gameplay loop.

I have every faith that itโ€™ll โ€œget to the good stuffโ€, but I did have a similar feeling to you. Iโ€™m going to give it another hour in a bit.

There's a demo on Steam

I love it. Funniest play Iโ€™ve seen in a long time.

His explanation

Maybe it would've been better if he had made the shot, but give them something to laugh about, some excitement.

โ€ฆmy god. Did he hit his head on the rim?!

[โ€“] chrisbrummel 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't played it, but I hear really good things about this retro-3D metroidvania called Pseudoregalia

[โ€“] chrisbrummel 1 points 2 years ago

They slipped the release date to April 5, 2024

I don't know if you played Laika: Aged Though Blood, but I'm curious out the biking mechanic compares. (Also had a killer sound-track, albeit a very different tone/style)
