This title could easily have been "Where the Jigsaw?" because this puzzle game is doing mostly anything but jigsaws. It's quirky and delightful, and broken precisely where it needs to be. 

in this episode:  define jigsaw, no spoilers, it's all spoilers, the hint system, the game is a physical space, everything on the table, this space intentionally left blank, two realizations in order, this part is an idol game, suprise a third time, the blue temple, shape rotation activities, hamburger maestro #3, this is the episode title, the mcdonalds of everything, a ball of any material

Absolum is a kinetic, weighty beat 'em up in which it feels so good to build combos and try out different characters. It's also a very delightful, Hades style roguelite, with lots of options for progression and some really cool routing choices across the map. I don't really think I've ever played anything quite like it. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go play more right now. 

in this episode: beat 'em ups, the map and routing, broken builds, co-op, clashes aren't gonna happen that often, too many comparisons to hades, theorizing about the endings and post-game possibilities, meta progressions gary simply missed

Noita is amazingly singular. A game that is fractally deep, yet instantly understandable in its incomprehensibility. A game that is massively frustrating, something that relishes in how little it cares about you, while also letting you impact the entire world down to each precision-modeled grain of sand. There is nothing like it, and honestly, that's probably a good thing because god damn it's past midnight, I have to be at work tomorrow, and after editing this ep there's nothing more I want than to crack it back open and have a cheeky little run.

In this episode: potion of stop-talking-about-baseball, that's noita! balance by self-destruction, what's that rumbling noise, when the doom music starts, the perils of lightning, better living through mods, blissfully short, gambling games, that moment you realize you can zoom out on the map.

Happy 5 year anniversary, us!

Do you like speedrunning? Do you like replaying stages until you get the platinum medal? Do you like Neon White (gameplay, not story)? Then you should take a listen to our thoughts on this fps-runner that chose to release on the same day as Silksong.

In this episode: cool New York sewers, punching walls, Nina White, vaulting, apologizing, 35 minute silver, grappling hook, hand cramps.

Born too late to be a popcap brain rotter incremental. Born too early to reach "18.254 quattuordecillion". Just in time to be a perfect ipad game for the Wii U.

In this episode: The Tomorrow Corporation, 6/10, retro-indie, flash comparison, feather is a genius who's brain is enormous and also she is cool and even very pretty and you can definitely trust this description which is written by someone who definitely isn't her, more wanking over flash games, the dire wasteland of the Wii U, finally we must talk about the story.

Regrettably, we mention interactive buddy like seven hundred times, so if you want to find it it has been preserved here

Don't you just love driving in -15℃ and being incapable to see more than a few feet in front of your car? Will and Karp sure does, and they're doing their best to persuade Feather and Gary in this episode where we discuss Easy Delivery Co!

Much like the absolutely horrendous evil killer sun robot at the end of stage 2-1, this game wants to be bigger than the tiny screen it's confined to. A full inventory of this game's design decisions takes about twenty minutes. A technical mastery of the GBA is on display, but as late as it came it - does it matter? Is there room in your life for a forgotten, obsolete, well-crafted retro game? Is there room in your robot heart for love?

In this episode: What is an Astro Boy, every GBA game, person who has only played silksong, unnecessary sidescrolling shooter sections are such a plague of this era, difficulty considerations, sixty-five dollars, what do sensors even do, cult classics, tiny screens and large bosses, the big twist, the Tezuka Star System. Also an extended postpod cuz we do be playing games - as always, a reminder that you can always skip the postpod!

~shoutouts zone~

Astro Boy Walkthrough by DEngle (spoilers for Astro Boy) in the game, when you have to play all the stages again, this guide just copies and pastes the sections for the bosses from the first playthrough into the second playthrough! (This fact is what Feather was referring to when she says "ok, put a pin in this walkthrough, we'll get back to it" and then entirely forgets to ever get back to it. She's getting back to it right now, in this episode description. It's her writing this. She's still not sure what pronouns to use for episode descriptions. Like, typically, they're "we". "We talk Astro Boy!" but this digression isn't a group consensus it's just her taking over the episode description for her own evil ends. Except not maybe that evil, more like... morally wasteful? It's not like anyone reads these anyways. If you read this post "hello karp" in the astro boy thread. ok bye)
