Now that I brought Power of Ten to the latest @indiequestpod.com episode, I can officially say I #JustBeatIt. Needless to say, I love that top-down twinstick shooter planetary defense rougelite. Superb action, gorgeous pixel art, and mysterious vibes. Go check it out. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

For the Beta Break square I #JusBeatIt: Jusant. It's so beautiful you could make a pretty screenshot every 3 seconds. I won't spoil the story bc I didn't read any of it. I bet it's nice. It also has a collectathon aspect to it if you like that. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

To rebeat a game I did beat in 2024 for the bingo challenge, I played a lot of Dungeon Divers. And I not only #JustBeatIt, I 100% completed it. Fantastic game with some fun achievement challenges. Now I hope for many DLCs and highly recommend it to everyone. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Yesterday I thought I beat Katana Zero, but I just saw credits and went back to main menu. Now I really #Justbeatit. And the last part was just awesome. I had a blast and the story is pretty rad too. Sound, music, pixel art are all top notch. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt Lonestar. That's 100% a game for me. A rougelite with a lot of risk/reward decisions. Success in challenging combats is determined by smart usage of synergies between weapons, support items and relics. All that in a western themed space environment. Awesome. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#Justbeatit Thank Goodness You're here! Fulfill strange tasks given by the peculiar inhabitants of a small typical british town. Gameplay and puzzles aren't challenging, but the 2,5h long game is just hilarious. I laughed out loud several times. Very creative and funny. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Final Fight 1989. I'm placing this one in the Great Scott!! bingo square, mostly because I'm too bad at video games to beat games from 1989 that I can't credit feed. I'll just have to play the long game on the "If everyone else jumped off a cliff" square.

Kick Club (UFO 50) is a soccer ball kicking arcade platformer. One of the best games of the collection imo. But it's also freakin tough. But after way too many hours, I finally #JustBeatIt with a cherry on top due to 170,100 points. Still 28 beats to go for me at UFO 50. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#Justbeatit Batography. Want to jump off a cliff with this sweet short game for free on steam. Take pictures and talk to NPCs to solve the puzzles, if they can be called puzzles. Only 93,5% were able to beat the game. So attention, could be a tough one. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Playing Transistor along with the boys hosting my favorite podcast @indiequestpod.com (sorry @polykillpodcast.bsky.social ) and I #JustBeatIt. My second favorite Supergiant game, bc the combat is very cool with its modularity. Looking forward to the next episode and the discussion about Transistor.

#JustBeatIt Galaxy Champions T.V. A frantic top-down twinstick shooter a la Smash TV, which I loved to play on the Amiga. Damn I'm old. Anyways, it was a fun coop ride with a buddy. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social Indika. A hot nun having non-nun thoughts is going on a big adventure. The game looks gorgeous, has a superb narration, and some surprises in store. But I won't spoil any. Solid 8/10. Platinum number 51 after 5h.

For the Catharsis square I #JustBeatIt: Pairs & Parils. A memory rougelike deckbuilder. I have to say, I had no fun trying to remember where my cards lay. It looks good and definitely has a a lot of content to unlock for those who are interested. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Got Don't Knock Twice as a gift, and I #JustBeatIt. A rather linear horror game that instills fear by creepy sounds and jump scares. During ~1,5h playtime you have to gather 5 objects to activate a pentagram. There isn't much of a challenge, but I had a fun time with it. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Would Fox Mulder be able to escape The Exit 8? I don't know, but this The X-Files appropriate game when it comes to mysterious vibes is pretty unique and fun and I #JustBeatIt. Thanks to @pamd.bsky.social and @peteepuff.bsky.social for explaining what to do on the latest PaD episode. I was too dumb.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social Castlevania on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Never played one before, so I started at the beginning. And I pretty much liked it unlike other games I played from that era for the 2024 challenge. What a horrible night to play BINGO though.

The next game for @polykillpodcast.bsky.social Bingo's "If everyone else jumped off a cliff" square is: Late Shift!

Lucky Hunter is an auto battler, where you navigate 3 maps with a boss. Pieces can melt to higher tiers when 3 of them are in line next to each other, giving more shield, more various multipliers or damage. That can lead to Balatro-like damage-satisfaction. #Justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Astral Ascent is one of the best rougelites, and @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt incl. the plat. It's comparable to Dead Cells, but the focus lies on spells, which can synergize with various passives, relics and more. Extensive meta progression and gorgeous pixel art make it a unique gem.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social Is This Game Trying To Kill Me? An escape room game with a retro style game within the game that is connected to your environment in the game. Very special. Creepy atmosphere. No credits but I got all 3 endings and all 17 achievements. Highly recommended.

Thanks @wiedo.nl for gifting me Dice & Fold. It's a fun dice and turn based combat rougelike. Try to fold the enemy cards by filling their dice slots. In 30 rounds you try to collect gold coins which are used to by relics which enable you to beat the boss. #JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Happy new year @polykillpodcast.bsky.social An action rougelike tower defense game called Talented just hit 1.0. I #JustBeatIt. The dev is obviously talented, but you don't have to be for the first beat. Survive waves of monsters and use your XP for new talents in the proc-gen talent tree. Good time

And stay out!

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I played a lore heavy Supergiant game, in which you have to get out of the underworld. Yes it's Ha... ehm, Pyre and I #JustBeatIt. Art style, narration, sound effects and music are great... and familiar. The sports part is fun and the better one for me. Recommended.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social 4 UFO50 games that took me 16h to #JustBeatIt. NINPEK: Very tough ninja platformer. WALDORF'S JOURNEY: Strange platformer with a flying walrus. PAINT CHASE: Paint the grid blue by driving over it and your red enemies. PILOT QUEST: An idle resource exploration adventure.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social nice to meet you here. I wanne let you know Guncho is a really nice and tough litte rougelike and I #JustBeatIt. On a grid with hexagonic tiles you fight various enemies in turn-based combat. After each fight you can choose a perk. New game modes await. Recommended.
