puyo, more or less (usually less)
continuing to use the aggrandized metaphor, a puyo chain "sentence" can be decomposed into "words" and "phonics", and learning how to spot the puyo phonics and what words they can create is a better way to learn chaining?

Gunfire Reborn (furry roguelite fps, +-/)

Has the same issue as every other roguelite where the metaprogression treadmill is the only thing keeping any given run from feeling like a waste of time.

The core gameplay itself is... fine? but only after getting to the later branches of the skill tree.

plus on the user side I do think there's some network/locked-in effects going on. Just like netflix and spotify, the entire ecosystem goes to complete shit the instant platform fragmentation kicks in, so users gravitate towards the one they have the most games on

steam is a /monopsony/ which is a little different, and we are just lucky it doesn't choose to abuse its market position.

here's a simple question: if you're a dev wanting to distribute elsewhere, for example because of the adult games squeeze, can you expect to reach the same size of audience?

Valdis Story: Abyssal City (action rpg metroidvania, ++-)

I actually started this back in 2014 but dropped it <1hr in cause I got the bright idea to play it on stick (bad idea)

Felt like picking it up again on controller... and discovered that for some reason dashing uses a hadouken command input
