#justbeatit Soko Striker by @axylaric.com Very competent free sokoban puzzler where you have to kick all the balls in the goal. Fun build up of mechanics throughout the 30 puzzles. Also original theming! Had fun beating this while drinking my morning coffee. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Mole Mole @adamatomic.bsky.social Great pico8 puzzler which combines sokoban, boulder dash and bomberman. Good difficulty progression and explanation of new rules. Strong recommendation for puzzle perverts. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Matchy Matchy Interesting puzzle mechanics which is similar to match-3. Unfortunately the challenge is a bit self imposed and the puzzles have little difficulty progression. I think there could be done more with this concept. ilkke.itch.io/matchy-matchy @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Moss Moss @noelcody.bsky.social Brilliant little free exploration platformer. A simple premise, stellar execution indiegame. Goal is to put moss on all red tiled floors, walls and ceilings in a multiscreen world. Very satisfying! noelcody.itch.io/moss-moss @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Star Fox EX Played the original game with this romhack for some framerate optimizations. Didn’t die once on the easy path. Still after all these years this game is a vibe. Very nostalgic for me! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Chance's Lucky Escape A point & click adventure for Playdate by @golosogames.bsky.social. I loved their GBC game which was a bit more involved. However this is a very competent little game which uses the playdates features and has nice music and graphics. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit The WereCleaner Cool little free game where you have to clean offices as a werewolf, preferably without getting detected or else you kill and you have to clean even more! Presentation is fantastic especially the cutscenes. Problem is I hate stealth games. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Postmouse Student-made 3d platformer. Great looking but because of the realistic environments the platforming can be pretty jank. Also this game didn’t run well on my PC so guess it’s not well optimized? Apart from some frustrating sections still fun game! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Hotshot Racing Great arcade racer with a great untextured polygon art. Sega arcade vibes, but honestly the drift focus is more like Mario Kart without weapons. My only complaint is that the opponents are super aggressive. Lots to unlock if you’re into that. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Ord. Quite inventive little game which does much with very little. Play through stories only consisting of 3 words. 1 word and 2 choices to pick from to continue. A lot of branching paths in the stories which get creative. It does have timeloop vibes. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To A panel de pon clone with some extra special abilities and a lot of endlessly talking queer characters. The gameplay and the presentation during the gameplay where very solid though. Sadly I really suck at it! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Tetris NES Trying to get a high score for the classic gaming podcast. Got higher in the past but in the meantime I’ll post this beat screenshot. All timer game for me, the NES one might still be one of the best variants, except it doesn’t have multiplayer. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Darkenstein 3D @rowye.bsky.social Absolutely fantastic blast from the past FPS, with tons of exploration and lot of laughs. And it’s free! I do not often 100% achievements but when I do you know I liked it. Brought it to the IndieQuest podcast go listen! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Rate my Steam Sale shopping cart before I pull the trigger.

You don't have to buy new shit to play cool games. Just grab a Switch Lite out of the paws of a kid and start playing banger after banger.

Steam games I recommend 9games.pages.dev

#justbeatit Tetris DX One of my all time faves. Was grinding for better 40-lines mode times and figured to do a marathon game. Got the best ending first (lousy) try. My best score is double that, but a beat is a beat. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Trip World Most expensive game I own. It’s a Kirby like game where almost non of the enemies do damage except the bosses which are half 1on1 fighting games. Short but polished. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Carrot Kingdom (pico8) Free and short Öoo-like metroidbrania. Took me 20m44s to beat but there's absolutely some clever puzzling happening in this inventive platformer. Quality over quantity. Go play it! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=156... @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Jurassic Park (Game Gear) Nice little movie licensed platformer. Normally these are quite bad but amazed by the gameplay variety & graphics of this game. Driving shmup, linear and exploration stages. Only bummer is there’s no GG rendition of the JP music. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Double Duck GBC homebrew puzzle platformer where control two ducks connected to eachother. You can turn one duck around the other by a press of a button and you have to navigate both through some devious puzzley levels. Good fun but very difficult! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Forbidden Solitaire Solitaire for creepypasta loving hipsters. This game wants to be Inscryption but it doesn’t nearly touch the brilliance. I felt I couldn’t be good at it due its randomness but still good addictive fun. Didn’t overstay its welcome. 8/10 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Blue Prince Absolutely enthralling puzzle game which kept us busy for hours late in night. We just couldn’t stop playing its so good. It felt a bit abusive with the randomness, but we pushed back and got to the end. There’s still many mysteries left though! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Made one of these get to know me by video games list. Favorite protagonist is Y.V. from Nuclear Throne. Also I like Dracula as antagonist in anything. Honestly I don't want any remake but Stunts could be cool as a reboot. And I decided 80s is retro for this. Quote repost with your own! grids.fun

#justbeatit Linelith Great little puzzle game where you walk around as a rock solving line trace puzzles. The rules are simple but the game keeps throwing surprises at you which makes it fun to go clean up with your new knowledge. Perfect rewarding difficulty curve. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Strange Jigsaws Inventive puzzle games based around, you guessed it, jigsaw puzzles. Good puzzles and there was absolutely some strangeness, less then I hoped though! Also puzzles based around words/cyphers/letters I just brute forced since I had no clue. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Lets do this as well. Enough bangers to pick from 😅

#justbeatit Minishoot’ Adventures Enjoyed this one a ton! While its a bit lacking in presentation and character charm, the gameplay and map design are stellar. It’s like a more open ended 2D Zelda but twin stick shooter combat. So fun I went for true ending/100% @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Smushi Come Home Like I was expecting this is a talky-heavy platformer. I hate the trend of verbal diarrhea from a lot of npcs. Let me experience the otherwise great mechanics and exploration. Took me around 3h to beat could’ve been 2h without the crap. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Mario vs Donkey Kong (GBA) Worse in every way to DK94 on the original Game Boy. The the controls around ropes are completely borked. The first few worlds where no challenge and last required annoying precision. There’s a lot of post game but can’t be arsed @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
