@DJSCheddar with a name like that, and RATINGS like that, i'm thinking this is the most video game of all time

@Yuzrnaime Hazelnut Hex is a great one. many recent indie STG think they'll be the one to "finally" hit the sweet spot between being approachable for new players while also appealing to gristled oldheads but Hazelnut Hex actually does it

Funbil commented on Hooblashooga's list Games with Tutorials That Hate You

Pocky & Rocky 2's is pretty egregious. it is skippable but it's easy to enter by accident and is 8 minutes long MINIMUM after that, all to explain things like "pressing the D pad UP moves you UP. try moving UP!"

Ape Escape is the only 3D platform series with 0 clunkers every single game rocks so hard

Funbil commented on Funbil's review of Idol Hell

@moschidae i mean, the concept of an idol-themed bullet hell game has a lot of potential... big personalities with big music and big attack patterns, right? but somehow it just doesn't quite get there

Surprisingly unpolished considering the asking price. I love a good Touhou clone but this one is gutless and devoid of any imagination. Tedious jokes with stilted writing and a flimsy last-minute attempt at an appeal to pathos. Clearly made by fans of Touhou but seemingly not by anyone who entirely understands the joy of them; bog-standard bullet patterns fill the entire runtime and there is no room for player expression whatsoever. And for a game so intensely themed around music, the soundtrack has next to no personality at all... Deeply disappointing.
