riddle me this shatman, what do you get when you combine intelligent systems(fire emblem, advance wars, paper mario), saru brunei(a defunct company that had like 4 games planned but none released but a handprint left on this), and atlus(etrian odyssey, Oh My God!, Karate Kid NES, and that one relatively unknown franchise that i think is about jesus or something, who cares)
as a publisher
with the thumbs up by nintendo

you get.. ...

THAT!...

I GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................

cubivore is immensely fascinating to me as a game because its position as a video game feels like something id play in the twilight years of Roblox before the economy would crash and tix would get axed, but robust (ENOUGH) to feel like it wouldnt Exactly fit in with roblox games. I mean this in a complimentary way ofc,
This game has you going through a variation of a reincarnation mechanic where after your character eats and eats and eats to be top of the food chain and wind up having a huge animal orgy to create a sort of Junior Offspring type fucker to carry on as with a bit more capacity to DO shit

the bulk of this game aint around the environments really but the silly nature documentary esque writing, some of the scoreee and even the weight and feel it is trying to tough it out against enemies thatre bigger than you anD OH. MY. GOD. there's a lot of fuckers thatre gonna be bigger than you out here.... you cant even technically SEE the last bit of content this game has to offer unless you get atleast 100 diff transformations/combinations in this game otherwise unless you lock-in and channel ur inner apex predator i guess...
My saves got fucked up for this though! so even though id already gone through numerous cycles, I feel as though thats close enough. if u dont? thats okay, because i think of 800 games ive played before this i think i can forgive myself for going off a technicality for a game that ultimately got really frustrating by the end and taking a pretty good bit to actually get all my shit in gear for again.. and again.... aaaaaaaaaaaaand again

final thoughts: its a pretty cool survival strategy game COMPLETELY diff from anything atlus OR intsys has ever done really, uhhh its gonna cost u and arm and maybe your kidney to get this shit complete in box, definitely a white whale thing to collect and im sure as shit not gonna be up on those seas hunting it but I enjoyed it ENOUGH to tell you to get up on Dolphin and enjoy it if any of this sounds like your thing :) later bitch

yea this aint very good, its off the vibes of like one of those fake phone games you see in ADs thats bouncing around and shit
And its a simple enough loop! But! oh my god i feel like its addictive.... but also i wish this was better LMAO

I REALLY LOVE HOW MANY PLAYABLE CHARACTERS THERE ARE THOUGH LIKE OMFG THERE'S EVEN THE SPORT "STUDENTS" FROM BANBALEENA'S CLASS INTRODUCTION IN GOBB 2 AND THE ULTRA GIVANIUMIZED VERSIONS OF NABNAB AND OPIUM BABY ARE UP IN THIS SHITTTTTT
It's cool! Surprised theres some color alts too but honestly i dont really...care.. pftftf. Like none of these color characters matter and even Should matter in progression or how quick you can knock around for the key

The gameplay itself is simple, you just swipe around and maybe find the fucking keycard to progress to the next one... there's not really strategy to that shit
its jsut by chance
the other characters at the very least are like 99 cents...
but even then you really dont need to be doin that and there's children with no clarity thatregonna get all of them
and i think getting all of them would probably equate to how much each gobb game costs altogehter ...LOL

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

you really dont need to play this, i like the games in this series but this is definitely just.. a game u play on the toilet, there aint even rly like much else to say on this and i doubt anyone else on this whole website cares abt this series like me so.. yeah!!!!

final thoughts: yeah i like the setup but i wish i could play this with a keyboard instead of breaking my phone screen to do shit, jumbo josh rules and gobb chapter 6 continues to be the ONLY game without a major jumbo josh role
thats so interesting...

I love gambling so much this game speaks to me, there's very few games Ive actually found and played with gambling as a centered focus though that wasnt based on just a simple card game or something delegated to a side mode

i love the vibes and look of the game but the items are really fun too, personally i think they can even be a LIIIIIIIIITTLE MUCH? Like when youre given the option to take pills before starting it feels like that difficulty should be the default since the base game itself is so easy. But thats okay! Because about 20-30 minutes of back and forth at most for a dollar game is pretty nice anyway

The money is meaningless
The gain, its meaningless
My life itself? It's the chamber
The rush is the trigger
And the yolk of the dealer and i's psyche is the bullet

Only lady luck decides whos ingenuity prevails, AND I LOVE IT! I WANT TO GIVE THE DEALER MORE OF AN EDGE, I WANT TO MAKE HER HAVE MORE ADVANTAGES OVER ME, FILL IT WITH ALL BUT ONE BLANK AND FORCE ME TO TRY MY FATE IMMEDIATELY BANKING ON LESS THAN 10% ODDS!!!!!! I NEED THAT!!!!!!! I CRAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

HUH.
COOL! :D

Yeah Psychopomp is a 3d dungeon crawler but without anything like levels or experience you play as a girl(?)thing that makes a helmet that lets them indulge and seek out all the shit that scratches they anxieties and quest to do.. SOMETHING in the hidden twistedness that is underground the city..
its a very specific kind of weird! Like having a sort of offhanded cynicism and humor that i found actually landin pretty well considering that you can just up and kill practically anything in this game barring some constructs and selective NPCs with a big Fuck You fucking hammer ig

With this in hand as a walking delete button for stationary creatures... you kinda organically have it click that this is more of a horror game in the means that its trying to have you unsettled and tripped up by shit rather than something thats going to test your resource management or a damning consequence for getting hit or dying other than loss of progress itself </3

The vibes are pretty nice and I think the only thing I disliked about it was just how Id either kinda get lost or because id just be confused, but thats alright
It's a (could be.. but a couple bucks does help out the dev) free game that you can knock out in like an hour or.. if youre like me 2 hours LMAO
That ending chapter sure is cool..
I cant really say much on that though since the story is about a footnote and in such a short time ill let YOU piece some shit rlly cause it aint tht deep anyways and by the time you finished reading this on this site you probably couldve already been beatin that tutorial

final thoughts: childrens hospitals DO smell that fucking weird huh? why is the thought of that so unsettling and true

so those really werent just random screenshot highlight moments the whole game really is just like that okay lmfao

yea this is a comedy visual novel tht pokes fun at a lotta diff things in an edgy humor kind of way that honestly gives me online webshow or even offhanded abridged anime series off of youtube vibes in it's tone and humor but no jumps or referential shit it relies on rly. It's super dumb but it also does feel like it's trying to same something serious and straight with you but in such a cynical way it comes off as excessive but also SOMETIMES PRETTY REAL and u hh hhh UHhHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
So is it a good game?
Iunno!
I Think It Might BE!

I saw like four different endings out of god knows how many exist within the game and I think i got my fill out here, there's a sequel or something that dropped last year but ill wait for ppls opinions on if its worth looking at or not

I think sometimes theres jokes too grating tht dont rlly fit my sense of humor totally but each time you discover a new thing within this its really fun seeing just how fast shit hits the fan
if you aint got a palate for this type of shit though you may just find it completely and purely cringe

also i think something thats technically not even a fullblown joke tht i found really funny was how they made the lacross jock not named kyle or tyler but split the diff n called his ass Kyler

tattletailheads
i get it now
I actually liked this,
see i only wound up even playin this because on a twitter thread a few weeks ago a post went around reminiscing on mascot horror icons
i recognized bendy, baldi, and so on and so forth
all that jazz
but i exclaimed "what the fuck is that" when i saw tattletail in the corner
followed by nearly everyone i know erupting in "what the hell do you mean you dont know tattletail?"

and ppl callin me a grandma....
and ppl thinkin im a zygote that was too young for the internet
...

so i figured yeah!!! sure! its a short game why not! lets cut out the middle man and dive at it

tattletail's presentation kicks ass its committed to that eerie unsettling feeling thats unique to furbys as a line of toys that plagued people in the late 90s and early 00s up until i wanna say the very tail end of the 00s
furbies were popular like that because having advanced cutting edge pet technology was ""cool""
i think living doll shit is somethin thatll always hit for me idk why but its always so fun even in the event of something like Chucky where I just think its more entertaining than it is scary seeing something of toy stature try to do and achieve shit otherwise incapable of doing

But tattletail is very different from that, hes a chill little dumbass with his little friends and they need your ass' help. each day there's more tasks you gotta do and tend to tattletail's needs with, while also needing to watch out for the big stupid mightybean bitch Mama thats always buzzkilling yall havin fun

it has some moments that kinda piss me off! like how Mama's AI is suppose to teleport her away here and there on basis of if she cant see you and youre out of frame ducking around and not making noise she'll try to teleport away in hopes of actually catching you elsewhere. I think the rhythm of tending to the little tugmunch's needs and also maintaining enough light to not have them tweakin is COOL! Mostly!

Im not rlly sayin its 5/5 cream of the crop, but its a pretty solid game all things considered and i definitely think its cooler than something like baldi's
I even think playing around with how Mama cant attack unless youre directly in the line of way or youre makin so much noise she'll lunge is cool
I even wound up playing that DLC and... it was fairly short just like each individual night LMAO but it was cool the kaleidoscope has some great visual effects and i guess no loose ends are left? but it wasnt exactly with it's balls dangling out the sack u feel me?
like
The story of tattletail is pretty simple to deduce, mama is a haunted furby and you gotta help the other furbies otherwise she kills you like other representatives of waygetter and putting the soul to rest via ritual and uprooting shit using tattletail's in an.. albeit subtle as all hell way.. is PRETTY! CHILL.. there's definitely more lore going on with the promotional videos that may give more direct recalls and answers on shit
butttttttttttttt
Im satisfied! Im content
Im not really obsessing over this but I think I mightve when it was brand new?

final thoughts: im glad i made that tweet because i like being well versed in things and it always feels exhilirating and makes my eyes get all wet and starry when someone brings something to my attention and im like "WOWWWWWWWW AN EXPERIENCE IVE NEVER HAD BEFORE!" its wonderful everyone :) !! I gotta go think on wht to do for valentines again byeeee
also FUCK u mama let him rock his shit and party !!

its pretty great!! playable crack id say!
honestly this shit feels so fast
I dont even mind the short length considering this is so cheap in the first place! i think those drones are so fucking annoying but once you get the rhythm down for what upgrades you wanna prioritize best and keep on yourself it becomes like "ok youre all set, if you choke now its all on you"

i think the game has some nice replay value as well... emphasis on some!! bc like, i know i just said i LIke that its short but once you get acclimated you steadily stop caring about killing everything more and more until you got enough upgrades you can chuck yourself ass-backwards through enemies however much u want on a drop of idol liquid

but not everything needs to be endless and i especially think itd be asking too much of a like, what, two dollar game to be that? it knows what it is and its just a good time to get the endorphins flowing

wears its Idol on it's sleeve if you will, so go ahead, if you like shooter roguelikes then go for it

the sprite visuals are nice, everything feels fast. and i really love the organic lifeclock of the idol constantly draining unless you kill things to fill it, its an addictive feeling that makes me wish there was atleast a harder mode or something even

Uh...but speaking of those visuals!!.. of course, this also has blaring flashy visuals here though so if you got a trigger for tht or smthn... dont worry! there's an accessibility toggle if that sounds like itll fuck with you heavy.

thats really all i got see ya! <3

this is not a half star worthy game im not gonna be THAT CRUEL

but this almost has the ingredients of something thatd be pretty cool
except its only characters from season 1 and Geto + Yuta from jjk 0
except the models feel like they are a generation behind

and i am NOT stickler for graphics out this bitch

like whatsoever

but cmon nowwwwwwwwww, whyyyy the fuck is this game so much
why is the character select menu like that in offline mode of all things
why

i cant even properly enjoy boogie woogie

why does mahito get his skirt and geto gets jacka, dickb and shitc for alts!!!!!!!! not even hidden inventory arc fit!

i get its content only for season 1 and jjk 0 to have this be a bit more Manageable, and all. but bffr

honestly i think the saddest thing on top of all of this though is that there's gonna be DLC and im not gonna... care?
I liked the baseball game though, that was nice. they should just make that standalone without needing to interact with this...

all in all, yeah this is the worst fighting game ive played in a bit but its far from the worst fighting game ive ever played, its like only slightly better than that yu yu hakusho dark tournament fighting game i tried once because at the very least i could understand how to do cursed techniques.. and.. i mean even though its hard stringing combos when shit feels unbalanced as fuck and domain expansions.. the domain expansions they jus- yea im givin it one star i change my mind on the one and a half fuck u namco

girl i love tekken this shit is so fucking awesome

I can't stress enough how satisfying everything feels to do and even though im salty as fuck that Lei Wulong didnt make it and probably wont even be DLC at this point, this is still a really cool starting roster i like literally all of the new characters

im kinda nice with victor but im not nice with azucena and reina yet i gotta L E A R N i gotta get BETTER

even though i already played 8's predecessors before i think this def sits in the upper echelon of the ones ive played on basis alone of how fresh this shit feels

I dont think i fw ALL the new music and I think some characters inclusion in the story is rly just bein there to be there but it can be so fucking funny
and that conclusion to it's storymode was some real ass shit idc

tekken ball wipes most other sports

uhhh i main lili so i cant complain that hard abt much anythin else with the roster

but this aint getting a perfect 5/5 because i think its fucking disgusting that lei is in the coffin, panda got a slot, and eddy is DLC instead of base roster

the world is ass-backwards, yet in spite of this, i cant say i dont love watchin it revolve
i love u tekken

I fucking LOVED powerpuff girls when i was a kid, my favorite was Bubbles and then it was Buttercup and then Blossom but i liked all three of the girls near equal enough
I loved their rogues gallery and a part of me really misses this era of licensed game And animation era too! But enough reminiscing, how good is this? Uh! Not very, no!

I think it has enjoyable attributes that should be pointed out though i really think the unique tension of having you rush through timed bits of the game and dashing back before it runs out is really cool
the girls are all relatively equal to each other here too and ready from the get-go
so while there's never really a moment where you feel like youre getting.. BETTER with them or obtaining some shit to get BETTER
youre kinda just playing fetch a lot, do some clunky combat, do some mindless bosses

and youre done in like an Hour probably

but i took much longer and even shelved this game entirely because i was sucking major moose asslogs at the fucking time related shit in townsville that has u runnin through the town deep

n then like the gears tumble in ur head that when youre far enough and you dont know the exact sharpturns and shit, u are in hell
the mayor presides over a shin megami tensei dungeon crawling map

so yeah play it if you got an itch to have some fun as the power puff girls, there might be better or there might be worse than this out here im not even all that sure because i never played one of the games affiliated with the brand until now so i guess go in with low expectations and you may find it a lil addicting... or just annoying! ciao

REALLY FUCKING HARD but not so much to the point where i dont ever wanna try again, its really easy to understand but to master that shit you really gotta lock-in and IIIIIIII dont think i got all that LMAO

vividlope has al ot of levels centered around you covering all these tiles and using abilities to whack and blap away enemies thatre tryin to get the drop on you, this is dope its just sometimes you misread the depth perception cause of the angle or youre basically required to have trial and error shit goin on for some later things.

At the very least you can hop back into shit relatively quick and the levels and aesthetics of everything is really nice, i agree with the one person i saw on here say this is more like a PSP game than it is a Dreamcast game
This feels like it'd be an idea for a dreamcast game and some bits of it have that almost y2k thing going on but i think its more fruit aero than it is y2k, but WHATEVER

the game is fun its more like an actiony puzzle game than it is smthing like a platformer like i, and im sure many other people probably thought from bare glimpses of the game

I think my biggest thing im sad about is just how i didnt get to finish this within the year it dropped because id totally have had it as one of my more preferred 2023 releases of then, but thats okay! bc again, it can be brutal in some levels

thankfully u can select whichever ones you want in any order so you dont HAVE to play shit in order

all in all its a nice arcadey game with a great premise and execution that is one tough motherfucker in some bits because of whether its misinterpreting the depth or somethin else going on, cerise is adorable, and its like 10 bucks so yea if any of that sounds nice then give it a whirl

u h h
im still playing fnaf 2 by the way this isnt something i forgot but i saw that this was free and ive really been in the fnaf buzz!

This sure is.. something!!!!!!!!

I first heard about this game in the same year it came out watchin my friend Drew play it, they seemed to both NOT like it but also liked playin it.. and i didnt really understand Why or how they came to that conclusion. I had a hard time processing much of anything happening on the screen though from an outsider perspective to be honest LMFAO

But fastforward to where we are now about... holy shit EIGHT years later...
And now im actually getting decently into this series instead of just keeping up with a lets play of the first game and a little of the second from markiplier, and that was that!! everything else was just loosely told to me to from other people

But enough LORE you wanna hear my take on this game? hm?
fnaf world itself is a very weird rpg, its got a weird bunch of locals thatre normal but youre going through things in a turn-based rpg setting
One thing i really like about the battle gameplay is the attachments you can buy and find around the world, infact some of them are Too good and make the fights go by swift but i couldnt help finding that a lot of tension of fighting bosses was evaporating
Especially when youre at a point eventually where youre retreading some ground for different objectives/endings.

now ME PERSONALLY i actually dont give much of a fuck about seeing every ending For Myself, i can see other people doing it but i do Not like this gameplay enough to be doin all that
Even if this game is technically short,
but dont get it twisted I actually felt a weird cross mix of emotions from playing where i was like "woah these models are jittering a lot" "woah thats a lot of shake and flashing" "woah wheres the text" to the point where it feels like im wearing, playing and breathing white noise from a TV sometimes
or when winning a battle, u just kinda sit there and ur like "What just happened"
the battles are comprehensible, Yeah! its just also!

there's so much bullshit flying around everywhere that sometimes you can get lost in the commotion if youre giving it all you got
which is kinda satisfying chaos
if anything all of these elements are the biggest highlights of the game for me though, i dont have much stake in picking out the lore or even knowing who old man consequences is of all fuckin people
but i do recognize most of these animatronics through word of mouth
i think the loadouts you can have going on are fun too, though realistically youll just keep upgrading your team to the next most recent thing you got going on from random encounters..

BUT!
IM!
somewhat different..
i kept og foxy for a decent bit until i had someone that could reliably keep using the Jumpscare ability which is so fucking useful because if you play your cards right with a debuffer and two Jumpscare users, you theoretically COULD stunlock the enemy and wail the shit out of them which is just lovely :)

Unfortunately, thats really all i can throw my hat into
The environments can get KINDA COOL with the glitch shit

And this made me a Lolbit kinnie and im hyperfixating on lolbit, im hyperfixating on a character from a game ive never even fucking played </3 goodnight

GOES SO FUCKING HARD, i got it on a pure whim because the cover looked interesting i didnt even realize it was a shmup when i got it but WOAH
W OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH this shit rulES

You get a nice little bit of story about these girls going off to stop the supergenius "Dr Tequila" (yeah) and u ride around in aircrafts beating the shit out of everything in your way
what makes this otherwise 1:1 saturday morning OVA story have nice cherries on top is theres a little bit of japanese voice acting in the cutscenes and there's a cute bit of whimsy going on with lightly touching on where the girls need to head next

And whimsy is like
the understatement of the century

there's genies, flying squirrels, lumberjack robot, a tall idol girl, a drive in movie theater, clowncore OUT THE A SS S SS S SS, power upgrade balloons thatre so plentiful tht even if you die and get your fully upgraded weapon knocked out, chances are youll still go into a boss having atleast your lvl 2!! AND THE WEAPONS ARE SO FUN TOO YOU GUYS OMFG YOU GET A FRENCH FRY BLASTER THT LOOKS LIKE YOUR DEFAULTTT THE HEATSEEKING JELLYBEAN BLASTERS, THE ICE CREAM BLASTERS THATRE MORE CONCENTRATED AND SACRIFICE SPEED FOR MORE THICK LASERS GWAHAHAHAH AND THERE'S A PIE THROWING ONE YOU CAN THROW CREAM PIES AT THE ENEMY... uh.
unfortunately i think the pies were the trickiest weapon to use though lmao
I still thought they were fun for heaps of damage but mjost of the time i hated using them for the larger clumps of enemies when i mostly had either jellybeans or icecream at lvl 3 and pies at only lvl 1, ick.....
BUT U CAN USE ANY OF THESE AND THEYRE REALLY FUN AND THE SPRITES ARE SOOO NICE
NOT EVEN JUST THE SPRITES OF SHIT YOU FIGHT INGAME BUT THE BACKGROUNDS HAVE CRAZY SHIT GOING ON LMAO THERE'S PEOPLE OUT HERE DYIN
TRAGIC DEATHS EVERYHERE WITH THE GRUNT ENEMIES
EVEN JUST GUYS CHILLIN TRYING TO DRINK SOME TALL GLASS OF BEER U CAN JUST SHOOT THE SHIT OUT OF BECAUSE.. REASONS!

but the best part of it all
its NOT. HARD. its very easy actually as far as OLD shmups go like i died a lot but i was supremely enjoying and plowin through most of this
I dont even think there was at any point a boss that took me more than atleast one or two tries, especially because you get different super special attack charges in the game that vary depending on what weapon you have equipped :) !!
It's so lovely and weird and silly
I guess my only gripe is like, i GUESS the shortness and easiness is a double edged sword because i wanted more!! but! im okay with a reasonably good 1hour to 2hour experience
i guess this just means i need to look into the genre more :)
definitely try this out even if you dont normally fw shoot em up games <3

forgot abt this until i recently looked through my steam library sorting through the oldest stuff
i got gifted this in 2016 and never beat it and then the gears tumbled in my head and then i was like "Oh! That game!!! Right."

a friend gifted this to me along with super lumberjack on my birthday when i turned sixteen
it sucks! this also pisses me off because if memory serves right
this was the first metroidvania i ever touched ohhhhhhh
nooooooooooooo noooooooooo i dont like thatttt FUCK!
fuck you colin
MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
