i feel like i should have encountered this game as a kid 20 years ago watching somebody over the shoulder play it on their game boy and being extremely mystified by it. the most 2001-ass game boy advance-ass video game. the essence of this console. that is to say i'm extremely charmed by it but my anbernic decided to toss my save file a couple hours in and it's a bit too slow for me to want to run through again. i'll be back, bomberman...

dilemma: the lawn mowing minigame was so much more fun than anything else that I decided my playthrough had peaked and I felt satisfied enough to stop there
takeaway: what I come to video games as an art form for might be even more inexplicable than I previously thought

i only played panel de pon S HARD but i guess it counts. this soundtrack floored me

stopping in the middle of this 50 minute-long video game to eat a fast food burger that tasted like nothing but grease ended up feeling like a vital requirement to the whole experience

sluggish, sometimes frustrating, mechanically obtuse... yet, equally, one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. feels like my time with these characters ended as soon as it began. won't forget it.
have you heard the live versions of some of the themes on the music CD they put out for this game? good shit

lol the rating scale on this. I didn't finish because too hard but I thought it was ok. looked up the ending. Sonic games need to be this stupid and unapproachable all the time. Need a whole game that matches the foolish scope of the boss battles. holding itself together with dreams and wailing electric guitars.

every five minutes there's something new for me to feel insulted by when I play this. especially the fact that the game crashed and the error report formatted the title as "Ratchet Clank". first and last name.

the absolute gall of these metaverse shmucks to start mining bitcoin with my nintendo switch and not even give me a GOOD golf game in return

I have listened to jumpin' jack flash by the rolling stones more times in the last 24 hours than any person ever should in their life. easily going in the top ten games I played this year btw. if not the top five.

whyis this like the best game ever nmde

i'm starting to think that everything in life will be okay

the audiovisual harmony of Klonoa 2 had me tearing up at multiple points and the gameplay is more or less up to the same standard as the first so I'm inclined to believe this is one of the best video games I've ever played.

every morning I wake up and I think to myself: "I feel that something is missing"

I don't intend to get good at games like this and I'd be walled out ten minutes in if I weren't using infinite continues but I just love looking at this one. love the pre-rendered sprites. love the uncomplicated, high-energy fun. will probably return to this every now and then just to soak it back in
