Now you can throw flares to distract enemies. I also gave up on the minimal controls and implemented aiming by the right stick instead, added some sounds and fixed the ugly stuttering in limb animations.

Nothing beats proper twin-stick aiming, so I guess I'll have to go down that road again. Not being able to dig, jump or toggle the light while aiming feels almost like a feature.

Drunk as I Like: Gensokyo Drinking Attitude was fun – I got all the RetroAchievements

A few days ago, I played a fun game for retroachievements called "Drunk as I Like: Gensokyo Drinking Attitude," which is a Touhou fan project that you can play on the Sega Genesis and pc, macOS, and Linux, and the game was so much fun that I spent 4 hours mastering it because I saw a comment saying the game was so hard.

Twin-stick shooters - videogames where you control your direction with one stick and your firing direction with another - have been around for a long time but really took off with Williams' 1984 stone-cold classic, Robotron 2084.

Since then, big hits have included Smash TV, Geometry Wars, Super Stardust, Nex Machina and now Sektori.

I've always had a soft spot for games like this - where swarms of enemies try to overwhelm you as you manoeuvre smoothly between them, dispensing digital justice.

The best of these games can trigger a trance-like state, a flow. The player is simultaneously marvelling at their own skill *and* the ludicrous odds before them.

Sektori does this.

Man, it’s been a good year for indies.

#Sektori may be a late comer, but this is the best #TwinStickShooter I’ve played since Geometry Wars 2.

The gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack are fantastic. It’s super hard not to pump up the volume while you’re playing. 😤🎮

Robotron 2084 Strategy from arcadeimpossible
It's the third of this week's classic arcade strategy find posts, and today's dedicated to the original twin-stick shooter, Robotron 2084.

Robotron's what I'd call a very pure game. It's simple in play, nowhere near as complex as Eugene Jarvis' first game Defender,
