Downwell

People like, is it John Perry and the like? I know Eric Serka did the soundtrack for Spelunky and...

Ojiro Fumoto's game Downwell but I'm not familiar with the games that he's made either Ojiro Fumoto made I would say two of the best arcade games of all time in Downwell and Point P so I was interested in his involvement in that because he's Just a fascinating character.

He made down well.

He went to work for Nintendo, got bored with Nintendo, went back to independent development.

I think you'll see the defenses tighten it down

downWell, it was, you know, it was amazing.

You, you had talked about it all summer, Pat, the, the amount of...

Some of the teams scoring, putting quarterbacks under center and running 12 and 13 personnel, and still being that effective on the offensive side of the football.

We've covered so far Inscription, Cult of the Lamb, Enter the Gungeon, Loop Hero, recently Ball X Pit, but Devolver also just has an incredibly growing...

Monster Closet of other rogue games, including a Stay Tuned and a half of Downwell, which I guess because we played Velgress for UFO 50, we kind of have a good sense of what that is already.

But other games like Stick It to the Stick Man, very recently released, I think either today or yesterday, Shroom and Gloom.

We got Force Strike, Micro Punk, Minos, Phantom Abyss, Wizard with a Gun, Bleak Sword DX, and oh god how do i pronounce this one oh close colon omega and serious sam shatterverse to name a few i think there's like 30 or something devolver digital specific rogue style games uh so there's there's no shortage of them there but uh coming back to strafe colon gold edition i have to do that for the seo because gotta help you if you're just trying to search strafe on google um How long is Strafe? Your average player of Strafe Gold Edition has about nine hours of gameplay in it.

Well, and I think like to your point of like bouncing off of or like continuing from game of the game of the year and having that influence this, I sort of did that like best of sweep as well, where it was like, what are games that I love for one reason or another? They might not be the game of the game of the year or they might not be the best of the best, but there's something cool about this game that I liked at some point, but I knew that you guys hadn't played.

And I landed on Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, Sunset Overdrive, Pikmin 3, Perfect Dark, Sin and Punishment, Downwell, Devil's Crush, Valus 3, Bomberman 93, Parodius, and Glaylancer.

And then I filled in the rest of my list with stuff that was like...

Wii Sports was an interesting one.

I guess I'm doing this.

It's got kind of a little bit of the same rhythm as Downwell from the same developer.

Oh,

definitely.

It's kind of addictive a little bit.

But yeah, it's a good game.

I like it more than Downwell, personally.

and uh
