MionaI started another metroidvania, 9 Years of Shadows. The mechanics feel very old school so far, and the pixel art is gorgeous. 💜
PaseoBaggage➤I've got the last armor and now we can explore the hot areas.
➤I also got the transformation to let you glide. That boss in the portrait was kind of unclear. I didn't realize it was the fireballs I was bouncing off of that were hurting him. I kept running into his face.
➤Although the bosses are getting harder they tend to leave a large amount of time to heal. I haven't had to really learn a pattern to succeed.
➤The quick heal QTE is part of this. If you are low on health you are better off taking a hit and using the invincibility frames to ace the QTE.
➤It's as I feared: I've run low on money unlocking all those warp points and now I'd have to grind to afford another upgrade.
➤There's something else I've collected and I'm not sure what it's for. No one in the theater seems to want it for upgrades.
➤There must be one more upgrade to let me cross these spiky gaps. Maybe it's a transformation for the Zeus armor.
➤I've got a little over 70% completion. I should be nearing the end soon.

​Nadchodzi The Communal History of [METROIDVANIA] - potężne opracowanie gatunku, od jego zapomnianych korzeni w latach 70., przez erę 8 i 16 bitów, aż po współczesne hity pokroju Hollow Knight czy Animal Well.

LMG3864 GamesToday's Aerostrike progress report:
1) Released Hotfix 2.1.3 for MF-01 Aerostrike. It fixes a minor bug in Hel's Fighters, and adds a new free paintjob, Pixelstrike.
2) The Pixelstrike ended up looking pretty good imo. I might play with this art style more.

Chris JagsWell, I might not have been feeling MIO, but I'm having fun with Arianna and the Elder Codex. The heroine's a bit too frilly for me, but the game is enjoyable, if not overly taxing.
And I really, really like the fact that earning trophies translates to in-game rewards (currency, items etc). I feel like it may have been done before, I forget which game(s), but it's such a great idea I really think EVERY game should be doing it!
