Little Nemo: Guardians of Slumberland. Very good metroidvania featuring public domain superstar Little Nemo. I am always happy to see the works of Winsor McCay get some love. Another meaty demo. very satisfying to play. 10/10
DoDo Duckie! Perspective switching all-ages puzzle platformer. This is a really cute game that is only held back for me bc I am not young anymore. I haven't seen another game use the Super Paper Mario 2d/3d perspective switch, which is what attracted me to this game. I am polarized by the fact that you cant jump while in 3d, but I totally understand that if you could, you would basically break the whole game. I really liked the cute atmosphere of the level presented. 6/10 if only bc I am no longer the audience for this game. I mean this as a sincere compliment. this game would go crazy if I was 10 years old playing it off a switch in the back of a minivan. I feel that a lot of indie games are aimed at adults so its nice to see one aimed at younger eyes. Kids deserve good media.
Burden Street Station: The only demo i have played that I didn't finish. Not bc it is bad, but bc it is quite good. I don't want to know anything else till the full game comes out. This game is a surreal puzzle exploration game where the way through is learning how to talk to people. I was worried I would be reductive comparing this to ENA, but the survey i got after quitting comfirming that they were of similar ilk. This could be really big when it drops. 9/10
A Snail's Tale. A comedic love letter to the job system Final Fantasy games. The varied classes were fun. The comedy was witty and not overbearing. The game is literally about the immortal snail that if it touches you, you die. His name is Jeremy. random encounters are optional. What you would expect from a jrpg but also has a fishing minigame and some idle game elements that feed back into the core battling. Shows a lot of promise 8/10
I played a bunch of steam next fest demos in vc last night and i wanna do some mini reviews. Bobo Bay. when sega wont make a chao garden game, you make it yourself. very cute lil guy raising simulator. has a decent amount of features already and you can clearly see everything else that the dev plans to add. very promising 8/10. (note: I am omiting a review for the game Ratdoodle Adventure, which i played after bobo bay. It ran really poorly and killed all my drivers so bad, I had to load a restore point. Despite that, I think its claymation art style is really charming and hope it is improved on)
