The skull is your warning.
In Abraham Lincoln’s day, everyone just rocket jumped to get to the second floor!
Path of Exile’s global channels have had a glorious history of unhinged nonsense. A dev was even around to witness this one!
Is this a picture on your laptop or is it a picture showing Sencha chilling on your laptop?
Both?
Horny instances have the best names.
I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable
How so? I don’t see the problem.
I believe the first one that was electric and roughly similar to today’s was installed there.
Good writing? That’s unfortunately wishing for a lot. The best writing in the Borderlands series has happened outside Gearbox.
You knocked too hard.
This is a repost of the video we talked about here, reuploaded by IGN after they took down their original video.
Hyperbolic bonus: Hyperbolica, a first-person walking simulator set in a universe with hyperbolic geometry. You do odd jobs and play games that explore the strangeness of this geometry. Also, there’s a slight digression to explore spherical geometry as well.
You’re gonna chant on the offbeats, right?

Metroidvania with character-switching
This 2D platformer metroidvania has memorable characters and very cool worldbuilding. You switch between characters to match their abilities to the right situations. They live on a living, planet-sized creature and are fighting off the parasites that are slowly killing their creature-planet. You’ll swim through its blood vessels and explore its organs.
It’s not super long—I finished the story in 9 hours. It’s just about the right length to satisfy.
Taiji (906 reviews)
Nonlinear discovery-based puzzles
If you liked the puzzle design of The Witness, you’ll enjoy Taiji as more of that but with scenic pixel art.
Instead of a linear sequence of tutorials and puzzles, Taiji is open-ended. You can wander wherever you want, solve the puzzles you stumble upon, and ultimately discover this place’s secrets. Sometimes you find a puzzle that you don’t understand, so you’ll just have to leave it for later, when you’ve learned more puzzle mechanics. It’s like a metroidvania but gated by knowledge instead of abilities.
All the puzzles are built on grids of tiles that you can turn on or off. There are no tutorials; you have to figure out the puzzle mechanics on your own, hinted by environmental details.

Puzzle platformer/block pushing hybrid
The 2d platforming world and top-down world have smashed together. You control one hero from each dimension, who share the same space in the levels. You switch between platformer and top-down modes and must get both characters to the goal. The boss levels are hard but very cool, combining action and puzzles.
Also features local 2-player co-op and a generous assist mode.
