Another week of shmupping in the books! Glad you've made it! As always, feel free to use this thread to talk about anything and everything you want!
Anybody watching Summer Games Done Quick? I've been checking in here and there over the past week, and it's been neat to see what the speedrunners are up to.
Have a great weekend!
Yet again we are cooking here in France! I decided to bust out Under Defeat this week. The first few times I tried, I didn't get into it. Now I look forward to playing. Still too hard, but that's to be expected.
I got a 1CC of Hazelnut Hex this week too. Awesome game, and the dev has posted it for free on Archive.org (link)
Sorry about the heat, but glad to hear about you're enjoying Under Defeat. I haven't played Hazelnut Hex yet, but I'll def try it out!
Which version are you playing? I have been playing the Switch version, in Arcade mode but with twin-stick controls. It's a whole different experience, and I think that's my preferred way to play.
Switch, arcade, normal controls. I like twin-stick too, though.
