UFO 50 Gold #19
07 - Velgress
Neat game - not very long, but the procedural generation is neat, and it features pretty quick restarts when you fail, which is always nice for a game like this.

UFO 50 Gold #18
34 - Overbold
Not much to say about this game - it's a pretty slight little arena shooter. It's fun in short bursts, but I definitely found the low movement speed to be very frustrating a lot of the time. #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #17
45 - Mini and Max
I really, really like parts of Mini and Max. I also really, really don't know what I think of how the game is structured - it seems like it's really easy to just wander aimlessly and stumble upon things rather than getting real direction most of the time. #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #16
05 - Magic Garden
Feels a bit more like a tech demo than a true game - extremely short, and actually somehow seems to get easier as it goes along

UFO 50 Cherry #9
25 - Party House
I posted about this a while back, but never posted the cherry disk. Super addictive after a while, and I still sometimes come back and play random even though I have already achieved the cherry.

Started playing Pokemon TCG Pocket to distract myself from the world burning down. Feel free to add me

UFO 50 Gold #15
18 - Golfaria
Interesting adventure game. It starts really slowly, and doesn't really feel good to play until you get a few upgrades. The endgame is also far rougher than the rest of the game, and not sure that big of a difficulty spike was needed. #UFO50

UFO 50 Cherry #8
22 - Porgy
I enjoyed the actual game quite a bit, but the hunt items kept getting longer and longer, and the endgame dampened my overall enjoyment a little bit. #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #14
25 - Party House
I really did not like this one to start - and still have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it, although it definitely grew on me, despite the sometimes wildly oscillating RNG.

Also, wild buddies can fuck all the way off. #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #13
22 - Porgy
Really fun for the most part - although the constant 'dive, get one item, then go all the way back to the top' got old after while and made the latter half of this game a little more of a slog than was maybe necessary #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #12
21 - Waldorf's Journey
I really want to like this game more (walrus!!), but the gameplay in it seems a lot lighter than in other UFO 50 games. Oh well, at least we got a walrus! #UFO50

UFO 50 Cherry #7
20 - Warptank
A couple of the coffees gave me trouble, even knowing the marker I needed to look for. Still one of my favorites so far from the game. #UFO50

Finally got the cherry in party house! Watched a couple of people play, switched up my strategy a little bit, and then second run of the night I get it. #UFO50

UFO 50 Gold #11

Fun little puzzle game. Wish it was longer, felt like it was over not long after it started.

UFO 50 Gold #10
13- Mooncat
I cannot stress how weird the controls in this are. I literally had to train myself how to play, and then couldn't play anything else the rest of the night because my brain was fried.

UFO 50 Cherry #6
27 - Divers
(Got this the same time as the gold. I've heard a lot of people didn't like Divers, but I thought it was a ton of fun and is one of my favorite games so far in UFO 50!)

UFO 50 Gold #9
27 - Divers
A lot of people don't like this game - but I absolutely loved it. I loved the old school RPG aesthetic to it, and that it didn't really overstay its welcome. Highly recommended.

(Also, got gold and cherry at the same time, so had to borrow a gold image from someone else)

UFO 50 Gold #8
20 - Warptank
Super fun game - it took me a little bit to get going with it, but once I warmed up to it, absolutely loving it.

UFO 50 Cherry #5
29 - Vainger
Mod cleanup wasn't too bad - it was pretty obvious going back through areas what I had missed.

UFO 50 Gold #7
29 - Vainger
Excellent mashup of Super Metroid and Metal Storm. One of my favorites so far, gotta find the mods I missed to get that cherry, though.

UFO 50 Gold #6
19 - The Big Bell Race
Almost got the double gold/cherry, as I think I got first in 7 of the 8 races.

UFO 50 Cherry #4
3 - Ninpek
(Gotta love getting gold and cherry in the same run! Also my first top leaderboard finish in a game!)
October 25, 2024 at 4:16 PM
UFO 50 Gold #5
3 - Ninpek
(Run of a lifetime - never even made it past the first loop before, and this time completed both loops and got the cherry as well!)
October 25, 2024 at 4:15 PM
UFO 50 Cherry #3
14 - Bushido Ball
(Same as the gold - 4 goals, laws off, and used the spear dude so I could just whack the ball and my opponent at the same time)
October 25, 2024 at 5:21 AM
UFO 50 Gold #4
14 - Bushido Ball
(Not super digging this one - so I set it to rounds of 4 with laws off. Almost got the cherry, but fucked around and found out at one point)
