This week @Nate and @raygan are talking about UnderDungeon, a game with awesome 1-bit pixel art that somehow seemed like less than the sum of its parts. Not, ultimately, a recommendation, but a good discussion!

The Short Game

@shortgame Spent yesterday playing this, and as soon as I finished I went to the app store to give it 5 stars. Definitely recommend this game to everyone. Smooth controls, great graphics, fun and engaging gameplay. A rich story with amazing characters. My biggest tip to everyone who wants to play is "don't hold back." Interact with everyone and everything at every chance; there's so much packed into every nook and cranny of this little game!

(Second tip: there's an invincible mode.)

Our episode this week is about Afterplace, from solo developer Evan Kice, which grabbed me as few mobile games have in recent years. Highly recommended!

For those who are interested, this was due to Google no longer allowing http audio embeds in https web pages. Our audio files were hosted separately and not available over https. I've begun the process of moving our mp3 hosting over from Amazon S3 to LibSyn to address this.
If you've previously had trouble listening to our show in Google Podcasts for Android, or in the web in a Chrome browser, give it another try! We believe we have finally fixed the problem, at least for the most recent few episodes. (Will fix the rest as time permits)

This week, #Pokemon developer Game Freak's cult hit side project Pocket Card Jockey came to #AppleArcade! Originally a #3DS game, it's been completely remade for #iOS. Taking a cue from this we are re-releasing our original episode on the game, with a new intro discussing the new version.

Short Game Classic – 99: Pocket Card Jockey

Pocket Card Jockey is a weird footnote. A lesser known but beloved 3DS side-project by Game Freak, the creators of Pokémon. It‘s a brilliant and hilarious mash up horse racing and solitaire, first

I keep forgetting to post new episodes here... I need to figure out auto-posting from Wordpress.

Short Game host @laurajnash is now on Mastodon. Welcome Laura!

@raygan is also on Mastodon, and @8bitshane is kinda here as well lol!

Folks might notice some weirdness with our RSS feed for the next few days. I’m in the process of moving our audio hosting to fix some issues with certain players.

I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t do anything weird like redownload a bunch of old episodes, but these things are mysterious 🤷‍♀️

I haven't listened yet but today's Waypoint Radio has the consulting historians from #Pentiment on to discuss the game. https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy7bky/the-history-behind-pentiment-according-to-its-consulting-historians
