  1. #MissileCommand #Arcade is a great hack of the #Atari2600 game 👍
    You control the crosshair with a joystick in left port and your missile bases with the 3 buttons of a Track & Field controller in right port 🕹
    You can use a Trakball but only in joystick mode 🤗
    That all looks very avantgarde but the highest score I did with a Dualsense in #twinstick mode via #Unijoysticle2 #Amiga and two #Mega7800.
    The hacked rom was put in uf2 format on an #OtakuFlash 😎

  8. Looking for a game to get you in the zone? heXon: Astral Arcade is a twin-stick-shooter that may do just that. With its neon style graphics and darkpsy soundtrack, it's bound to put you on the edge of your seat, once you manage to wrap your head around the game dynamics. Despite drawing inspiration from games like Asteroids and Geometry Wars it is unlike either.
    heXon was first released to itch in 2016. This year the ships were equipped with ability modules that - beyond shooting - allow the player to dive, ram, repel and drop depth charges. Although best played with a dual analog controller, keyboard and mouse input are also supported. The mouse input is relative, so it's most suitable for trackpoints.

    Game: Black Skylands

    Platform: Steam
    Released: Aug 16, 2023
    Installed: Mar 10, 2024
    Unplayed: 0d
    Playtime: 19m

    Black Skylands is game number five in the March Humble Choice Bundle; it's a top-down pixel-art steampunk-themed... game. It's a category mash-up that's part-twin-stick shooter, part-open-world-action-adventure, part crafting-sandbox.

    Within that mix of genres, I had trouble situating myself within the gameplay that I connected with it.

    It's another game that I'm going to give another shot and see how I feel about it once I get a bit further into the game.

    For now, I'll say that Black Skylands is:

    3: OK

  13. Been working on a game where you control a robot with the mouse and a badger with WASD. You can move both independently or have the robot follow the badger. The robot can target enemies, and you can equip up to 5 abilities on the robot (usable with numbers 1 - 5). Eventually the badger will be able to burrow beneath enemies to stun them.

    all art credit goes to my wonderful partner :)

    Game: From Space

    Platform: Steam
    Release Date: Nov 4, 2022
    Installation Date: Dec 14, 2023
    Unplayed: 0d
    Playtime: 16m

    From Space is a post-apocalyptic (alien invasion!) isometric action twin-stick shooter; it's the eighth game in the December Humble Choice bundle.

    The game opens with a short exposition to set the game world, then gives you the option to pick a "specialist" from an extensive range of options.

    The characters look like Fortnite avatars run though a chibi filter, but they work well enough with the games stylised graphics.

    You load into a training area, then you're off on your first mission. You start with a weapon slot (plus melee weapon via right-click), with more slots unlocking as you progress.

    There's also a cache for your weapons at each destination location.

    The game (at least as far as I played) seems to be set entirely at night, and makes excellent use of lighting and sound effects.

    It's a perfectly serviceable twin-stick shooter. Whether it will draw me back, I don't know.

    From Space is:

    3: OK

    Game: Bleed 2

    Platform: Steam
    Release Date: Feb 19, 2017
    Library Date: Feb 2, 2019
    Unplayed: 1595d (4y4m14d)
    Playtime: 19m

    Bleed 2 is a 2D twin-stick sideways scrolling pixel-art arcade shoot-em-up.

    It feels very much like a 80's arcade game, both sonically and visually.

    Lots of frantic button mashing, which would be great if I could mash the right buttons in the right order, but as I can't, I spent a lot of time dying.

    The most frustrating thing is that every platformer / sideways scroller I've played uses the A button on the controller to jump, while Bleed 2 uses the right trigger, and uses A to taunt.

    As the right thumbstick is used for shooting, it makes sense, but I found myself taunting instead of jumping far too many times (and then, of course, dying).

    It's not that Bleed 2 isn't a good game, it's just that I'm not good at it.

    Bleed 2 is just:

    2: Meh
