A few of the things that have us hooked this week.
19th April 2024
Hello!
This week: twin-stick shooters, caving, and ink.
Spelunky, PC
On a whim I did the Daily Challenge inSpelunkythe other day.
It has been years since this was a regular feature of my life.
That didn’t work out because the Jungle was a total frog-fest.
It didn’t take all my life, but it bounced me into the abyss.
It might have been a new event for me.
Spelunky: the game that keeps on giving.
What I like about Inkbound is the paradoxical simplicity of the game mechanics and the complexity of them.
It feels like a strategy game and a puzzle game mixed in one.
What a game this is.
But what I love most is the sheer visual splendour.
So many cool ideas are scattered through the entire game.
The upgrade screen is a best-in-class, and there’s a lovely bar chart breakdown of how you did.
