#JustBeatIt Slots & Daggers. You start with 3 slots and 3 items to choose from. Weapons, shield or money. When you beat an enemy, you go to the shop to buy or upgrade stuff. You have no chance to beat the game w/o deep meta progression, which I dislike. B tier roguelite @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.156 Nightmare in the Dark (ARC). An old-school arcade platformer with a spooky theme. Trap enemies in fireballs and throw them around (similar to something like Bubble Bobble). It's way more fun than I expected, with great (boss) graphics. Recommended!

#JustBeatIt #MetalGearSolid4 via the MGS Collection Vol 2. Legendary game and I still love it. A phenomenal finale to one of my favorite game series of all time.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Rustler (steam deck) overhead style GTA clone set in the Middle Ages. The humor has too many pop culture references for my taste and the combat is a bit clunky 6/10

#JustBeatIt #LadyDeath Demonicron, an old-school style beat 'em up based on great comic series. I played co-op with a friend. Game-play is pretty basic, animation is neat, and there's a lot of fan service. It's pretty short and the ending is abrupt. I was a Kickstarter backer too.

A Little To The Left is a unique puzzle game where you organize everyday objects, IF the cat lets you. I did not only #JustBeatIt, but I also brought it to our latest episode of Proof & Pixels www.buzzsprout.com/2648681/epis... Our podcast about bourbon and video games.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.155 Wardner (ARC). If you like cheap death traps, one hit kills, poor music, average graphics and stiff controls, than this is the game for you. Gameplay is fine. Also, you keep your upgrades after dying or game over, which negates the difficulty somewhat.

I’ve been wanting to try this one out for a while and I was not disappointed. I think the combination of survival horror and RPG elements work well together here. The game also has a great story and some impressive cutscenes for its time.

Prince of Persia: Revelations finished & reinstituted cut segments from the original WW. These areas push the PSP hardware, the game engine, and my patience to their limits. It's amazing that this port works at all, but sometimes it doesn't. I #JustBeatIt w/a bad ending.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.154 Halloween Forever (NSW). A fun platformer, reminiscent of the NES-era. Hard as nails, but with some nice difficulty toggles, it's definitly manageable. The graphics and music aren't the best, but the gameplay is very solid and the bosses are great!

A Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogies Revenge was the most mid game I played. Felt like a generic DMC clone with a movie license slapped on. Never watched the movie so a lot of references went over my head but it is definately for the die hard fans. 2.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.153 Haunted Hell House (NSW). A very low budget horror adventure game that can be finished in 30 minutes. But for 2 bucks it's totally fine and you can have fun with it. Not all games have to be masterpieces.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.152 Pocket Witch (NSW). A precision platformer, but this time with a halloween skin! The 30 stages of this game are pretty tough and the somewhat questionable controls don't help, but overall I had a good time. Just expect to die a lot.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.151 Kamaitachi no Yuro (SFC). Tanslation patch by ButThouMust. A creepy SFC visual novel, where a crazed murderer is brutally killing residents of a skilodge one by one and you are trying to survive / find the murderer. It's excellent. Highly recommended!

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.150 Otogirisō (SFC). Patch by DDS. Let's start off spooky month with my traditional yearly playthrough of this horror SFC visual novel. It's a really good game with a good spooky vibe and it's fun trying to get a different ending each time. Recommended!

I found Ms Paint again and drew another fake ass topper to bloat my beat count

This one has a teleporting mechanic where you can save locations and teleport items back to there

Fairly simple but still a good time

Believe me I #JustBeatIt

#justbeatit Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 (arcade)
Another great experience though, not quite as fun as the original for me. The upgrades felt more powerful in this one but the difficulty ramps up pretty good toward the end. The boss designs were great. Good times! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
