slowely getting into the rythym of porgy....looks likely i'll end up really liking this one if i play it in the right mood but you know what that limited exploration at the start reminds me so much of? moon! moon feels super limiting when you start because you can only explore such a small section of town and for a very short time until you build up more LOVE and while that could be cumbersom and annoying for some people, it's really what builds up the world for you. Walking through the same streets as you learn the townsfolks day to day patterns and really try to see if you can spend that little bit more to hang out with them and see their story before rushing back to granny's house and getting a good night's sleep

Such good overbold runs...i've never gotten that many shot upgrades that way before and it was going sooooo smoothly on that first image loadout and then of course...stray toucan spider bullet that was right next to me ends it...I think i've seen the final boss once for like 2 seconds

aahhh finally figured out the quirk for magic garden...that's why the scores are so high and why it felt really hard to get them that high >:)

Perusing through spriters resource (as you do on your day off) and came across a tile on the neo geo called "Crossed Swords" and hold a sec, that preview looks familiar lets go and check it on moby games for some screenshots and stuff an huh
This is looking familiar...lets see the gameplay in action huh?
youtube
Now what is it reminded me of I wonder...
So this is a game from 1991 that Valbrace has clearly taken inspiration from, I think some folks found a TIGSource forum post that had the more dungeon crawling aspects brainstormed out...neat to see a fictional title that would've existed in 1988 three years before this would've come out (is there much like it? Aside from Punch Out (1984) which was the first thing that came to mind?)
Really cool to find titles like this that UFO 50 seems to be drawing from and doing it's own thing with though. I feel this collection of games is super fascinating when you try and view it through this lens but it's also doing enough of its own thing you can't quite map it out to what would've been its peers in a way that makes much "sense"
#oh and arcade archives has it available too! neat#taupe plays ufo50#sorry for the dogshit valbrace play i just quickly pulled up the game to get some footage#taupe talks#ufo 50

Cherried Camouflage in one sitting...easy game for babies* :P
(how did i get exactly 100 deaths. ...)
#*note: this user has played over 80 hours of void stranger so this type of shit is nothing to them. smooth sailing all the way down#nah it was fun. odd mix of genres and i didn't have audio on because steam link broke the audio...?#i kinda wish it introduced the weather effects earlier but also if that game went on for longer it would grate i think#taupe plays ufo50#so at the moment that's 6 gold carts and 2 cherry carts. soon to be 3 when i'm done with warp tank#but i've ended up leaving the hardest levels and the ones i didn't enjoy last. for some reason. so they'll probably take me longer to get#before i get all the coffees and unlock the secret level. which i also need to complete

it's taken up until now to realise the dot that appears on the map in barbuta is the skull...
#the red square is your location i've understood that for a while but that explains what the dot is!#taupe plays ufo50

Had a decently good setup going in overbold and whiffed it on 5 enemies left (incl. boss). agony
#taupe plays ufo50#i was getting a little annoyed with this game a month ago but today was some good runs#the hitboxes are a bit jank in it though but i think that's just part of the charm

mooncat seems to bring me the same joy that void stranger did so i'm sure i'll be making efforts to cherry that title

Finally...a platformer i can enjoy... :D
For those who haven't had the joy of playing mooncat...these are the instructions for the controls
#i mean that sincerely i struggle with trying to get decent movement in usual platformers and as WEIRD as the controls for mooncat is#it like...i think it hits the same spot of 'oh this is cool to learn how to play' that void stranger did...??#'which button do you jump with' well. two at the same time but not what you think you'd press#taupe plays ufo50#i mean i'm also someone who can play a game easily even if it reverses my controls so. of fucking course i like this one

took me multiple tries on a single level to understand how tf the blocks in that koala game work so i think i am not playing it. rules were too unclear how did i get through like 7 levels without understanding how those shits worked
#i havne't actually touched 50 in a few weeks but it's on the mind and seriouslyyyyyy#that game should be FOR ME but i was so stuck on a level because i couldn't understand what the fuck the blocks did#that it was like. i actually can't do anything here?#taupe plays ufo50

i think one of the funnest parts of ufo50 is trying to see "who" made what...looking at the little info packet on the launcher screen on 'this was [this person's] first time in a designer role' or even just hitting the credits and seeing new names on there or something...real fascinating stuff!

nothing quite like the skull coming for you in a decent barbuta run
#trap yourself by seeing the skull spawn in right as you talk to an npc so it hovers over to you that the moment#you exit the invuln state entered as you talk to the npc you die. hell yeah#taupe plays ufo50
