    @games Pipsqueak!

    There is a niche set of developers who produce games under certain limitations, mechanical or thematical however may it be, I suspect that this project was born of a similar cloth, specifically from those who create games as if they were to run on a GBA, kind of like Goodboy Galaxy, it’s an interesting way to create games, it has that feeling to it, and luckily, it also has the charm and a feel of polish for a game from such a console

      @games Sacre Bleu

      Oh boy, it’s absurd to pretend completeness during a demo showcase, but for this one … I feel like it was released a bit too early for its sake: missing sounds, finicky controls, and overall not a good impression, one positive note is that it manages to blend 2d sprites with 3d environments better than others, but I do believe that the dev should have waited the next event and spent a bit more time cooking, because as now, it feels too much half-baked, even for a demo

        This MetroidVania (or as I like to call them explorative platformers) belongs to the birthing category of Hollow Knight-likes, the graphic style, the subtle narrated story, and even the combat, resemble that of HK, the whole judgment hinges of whether the devs are going to be able to match its level of quality, if they will, that’s going to be great! If they don’t, it’s going to be forgotten faster than the failed vessels thrown into the abyss
