Pure fun through and through. I loved every second.
Perfect amuse-bouche. Played before they updated it at all and added lore or whatever and I'm glad for it. I don't need to know its particulars.
The novelty of a new Build Engine game makes up for its shortcomings, which are plentiful.
That they localised this is the most bonkos decision I've ever seen.
By far the most unique tower defence I've ever played, I love the interplay between the towers and the cursor, and the faux-rivalry aspects it brings to the table. Plot is batshit and magnificent.
It's no Picross but dammit, it stands on its own.
I don't know if I'm cracked or just attuned to bullshit but this was an easy 1CC that I will never replicate.
Broke in my soft-modded PS2 with this and it was a treat.
By no means amazing and I see why it failed its location test but it's an interest enough romp for a lil bit.
HOLY DAMN
Started this up as my first foray into the X68000 and fell in love instantly. It is so rough around the edges that I couldn't recommend it to most, and parts of it aggravate the hell out of me, but this is a technical marvel, pure and simple. Loved it enough to get a CiB copy shipped over from Japan. Also presented an opportunity to work with Shmuplations as I've been researching more about this monumental game that gets no recognition in the West.
Nobody on Earth will ever believe me when I say this is a superb game. But it's okay, because I believe me.
Surprisingly, even in my march to 100%, I never got bored or tired of marching across America. Though some decry the late game's ziplines for trivialising some climbs, getting to the point where you set up a zipline and maintaining that network is intensely satisfying. And the DualSense support!! Magnificent!
Have been playing on and off since 201X but this year marked my earnest foray into 1CCing STG. I love the mechanics, the aesthetic, the music, the scoring. So satisfying.
Not as good as DS or DSMBL and the switch to 3D is a massive downgrade but it is still Deathsmiles and as such it kicks ass. And it's Chrimbo!

Holy shit they made Bust-a-Groove kick ass. The genre switches are dope and I love the idea of balancing your team's participation while still chasing score.
It's Crimzon Clover again so I was onboard from the get-go. Arrange mode is a nice little addition, the cherry on top.
Entirely too easy but it's so cute I can't hold it against it.
Surprisingly fun even if you do have to see Chibipatra's toes constantly.
I don't even remember playing this but it must've kicked ass
Hamm my beloved.
HOT DAMN I love chore-centric games and this was a delight. More games need to focus on the parts of sports/real world activities that are generally omitted from their digital counterparts.
It's good and I got 21st in the world
