in this game, there is a Ball. there is no denying that.

got the "Keep Off the Sand" achievement on my first playthrough and for some reason I convinced myself that I was a god gamer because of it

don't know shit about particles BUT I do know that this game is really fun to 100%

It is Very Good. but I think everyone already knows that

Job Job singlehandedly carries the entire pack to a 5/5

I know a lot of people hold the N series to a high regard, but to me the platforming physics just feel way off; I can only barely get used to it. I do like that it comes with an enormous amount of levels to play through, though

Cute platformer-adventure game, kinda has Paper Mario vibes to it

Kinda basic collectathon fare, but with a bunch of charm that I can't ignore. Had performance issues and a few glitches, but I played on release so maybe that's all fixed by now?

was extremely fun in early access aaaaaand then they ruined it. look how they massacred my boy

Frustratingly difficult, but in the "one more try, I can probably do this" kind of way. Takes an absurd amount of time to master it enough to get through chapter 1; chapter 2 has an extremely steep difficulty curve in comparison

Had a lot of fun with this one for the first few years it was out, but the controls are a bit annoying and it takes way too long to regain the muscle memory for them

tried to get a friend to play this with me once and they called it "bootleg halo"

For a game that prides itself on being freeform and AI-driven, it really just feels like it's picking out a keyword to drive the story and not much else. Which... is fine I guess, until it starts misconstruing everything you say.

definitely more fun to break than it is to play. melon

found out about Touhou in 5th grade via EoSD and I think my life trajectory was permanently altered as a result. good game
