UFO50 Poll and Discussion!

went for night manor

i started Night Manor the other night. so good. but also low key stressful. the whole mechanic with the monster is really great - i kind of wish more games were like this, even RPGs like Witcher 3. I remember the first time I played that game and realised "Huh, I can just poke about in this evil witch's house as long as I like? She's not going to come home and find me?" Whereas here you just never know when the monster is going to catch you. So good

I've not played all of these yet. Still scratching the surface. So far I'd probably vote for Mortol, which is like if the first Super Mario game was really hard and was more like Lemmings

mini & max is probably still it, insane scope for a game that exists in this project. porgy is my other favorite, gets at incredible atmosphere within the restrictions they're working with. night manor too

I still haven't played all of them all the way through but I love Rock-On Island. Party House is great too.

It's wild how many of these I still haven't played. Of the ones I have played, Bug Hunter, Mortol, and Pingolf are my faves. Also dug Camouflage quite a bit. I tend to enjoy the thinkier games.

xps I don't find Mortol to be much like SMB aside from being a side-scrolling platformer. It's so much more of a puzzle game, and your guys don't move in Mario-ish ways at all.

Still hoping this comes to PS5.

Booted up Mini & Max and lost a whole 90 minutes of my evening. So good.

I tried riding a butterfly to the door knob, and managed to land on it. But I couldn't find a way to enter it or interact with it.

I'll have to jump back in, can't remember the names of the ones I liked.

The clicker type one where you had to bash the crystal thing to get your payment, and then buy stuff and go off and explore some harsh land to get more stuff, and just basically keep progressing. It's very addictive but I did hit a barrier before finishing it.

that's Pilot Quest

yeah it is!
