Jumping Flash!

Uh, if you need any recommendations, let me know, uh, 'cause-

Jumping Flash.

[laughs] Hell yeah.

Yeah, Jumping Flash is actually really fun.

Uh, but yeah, no, that, that, that was my favorite era in gaming, PS1, PS2.

No question about it.

I'm going to give a shout out to Cicada Mata.

This is a short but meant to be replayed over and over speed runny first person shooter platforming game that plays a lot more like Jumping Flash than anything I've ever played in my life.

Jumping Flash is a PS1 game where you play as a robot rabbit thing that shoots fireworks and it was the only PS1 long box game I ever had until I was an adult and I never I didn't even know what a long box was I had no idea that existed for that system I thought it was some weird bootleg thing until I was an adult and discovered there was a whole run of them but you move in this very like it's like you're controlling a mech but a mech that has realistic weight you're not jumping and flying and flipping like you are making a jump and then you're landing with a big ka-thunk and like It's just really cool.

It's got a very marathon-coded aesthetic, but kind of pulls it off a lot better.

Got great breakbeats music.

But gosh, yeah, this is right up my alleyway.

Yeah, I don't know exact runtime on volume, but Cicada Mod is only like an hour and a half long game, but you're supposed to go through it and then keep going through it to get better and better times.

Kind of looks like the Don't Stop Girly Pop, but with the jumping flash vibes.

that kills me about Sony, because nobody's getting excited about some of the shit that they're coming out with.

Why don't they just go back and do stuff like take Jumping Flash? Oh, shit.

Bringing it back.

That's the thing,

though.

They actually do have Jumping Flash on the PlayStation Classics.

So they have the original Jumping Flash on there with trophies, rewind, and all that stuff.

So they do have it.

That's not even everything.

I didn't even talk about Jumping Flash.

Well, I guess I just did, but...

Yeah, that sounds like quite a list.

...

Mina the Hollower, Map Map: A Game About Maps, Motor Slice, Super Mario World, Mischief Makers, Cleaning Up, God of War: Chains of Sparta, Dark Scrolls, original Animal Crossing, Jumping Flash!, Klonoa 2: Dream Travelin' Court, Glover, Yoshi's Story, LEGO Batman, uh, The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me.

That was a long time ago.

[laughs] Okay, Yoshi's New Years then.

You're going through a level and you've got like five little, like, golden icons to collect, and then get to your exit.

Also, kind of like Jumping Flash, which is like giant vertical platforming, or even honestly, like, it's weird to say, but it's kind of like a fucked up Mario 64.

Like, it's just-

Right
