Everything up until Bloodroots looks like something I would pay money for.

i guess i should play crypt? this looks awesome

It's hard af on the last level but they got a funky mode character so anyone can beat it. Legit one of the best sound tracks of the past decade. Highly recommend it

whoa that zelda thing looks rad as hell. playing as zelda, too? sign me uppp

i'm gonna take this as a confirmation Baranowsky is working on it, which will rule so hard

so it's... beat-based? is it kind of like a fast, real-time strategy vibe to it?

Yea that's the gist of it, there's a character that doesn't use the beat conceit at all tho

seemingly some not terrible deals on indies right now... anyone play/recommend iconoclasts?

weird move not to put the OG crypt on sale since now everyone's interested in it!

Creature in the Well looks good.

I got it on ps+ for free a while back, it was fun I wouldn't be mad spending ~$10 on it. I haven't played owl boy but it seems like a more metroidvania take on it, more environmental puzzles than usual. Suffered from releasing between owl boy & Celeste when they're similar on paper. Pretty story focused toonfor the genre tbh.

just bought night in the woods, vaguely recall whips having positive things to say about it

also bought detention though it's not part of the nindies sale specifically. was curious about inside/limbo but i think those are more games i'd be fine watching than really having to play myself...
never played darkest dungeon or moonlighter and was wondering if they're worth it

night in the woods is excellent!

dang i was hoping celeste would go on sale

really really did not like Moonlighter but I only gave it an hour
the shop running aspect is horribly tedious and it felt like Recettear did everything Moonlighter did but better

Cryptdancer game looks pretty interesting but quite bummed if the 2D Zelda rumor from a month ago is just that

Wasnt that the link's awakening announcement?

damnit i just sold my switch

If you play a lot of NES games on switch, the wireless controllers are such a big improvement over the joycons (and even the pro controller). They’re a total luxury but it’s great having an actual D-pad. I looked into the Hori D pad but I hardly ever play in handheld mode and it doesn’t work wirelessly.

Nintendo is too good at getting me to buy extra controllers. I will absolutely buy SNES controllers if they ever get around to actually putting those games on switch.

Shit... this actually looks awesome. First impressions seem pretty good too. Apparently the mini games are fairly deep. Even has a game creator mode!

the OG Labo kit is still sitting largely unconstructed and covered in dust somewhere in my house, so it's a tough sell. does look deeper than i expected i guess.

baba is you is fun and hard (see what I did there?)

any general advice/tips?

There are a few Baba levels that seem straight-up impossible and I'm about 50 levels in

HAS operators are a pain in the ass

Yeah, Baba makes me feel very stupid after the first easy levels. I have to remember that I'm not good at logic puzzle games and not buy em, despite thinking Baba is really cool

this is a tiny thing but it drives me crazy that nintendo consoles have the A-B buttons mapped the opposite of sony/microsoft. every time I go between playing xbox and switch I have to retrain my brain on how to navigate menus properly

Yeah it's the worst

Best way to sort that out is only play Nintendo

yeah i mean Nintendo mapped them first, so

Bought donut county and it's pretty fun

Heard it's short though. Used a combination of gold coins, eShop credit and a gift card
